More on Brilliant Digital's multipath movies.PRIMARY SOURCE
[snip] Brilliant Digital Entertainment [BDE] is trying to expand its 3D "Multipath Movies" into the TV sphere. The company yesterday announced a deal with Kaleidoscope Media Group (KMG), which will offer BDE's Gravity Angels for domestic and international distribution at this year's NATPE TV trade fair. KMG also is offering home video rights to the property. BDE claims the two-hour sci-fi thriller Gravity Angels is the Internet's first full-length 3D animated movie and says the KMG deal is the first in which an Internet-originated property has been offered for broadcast and video distribution. BDE's 16 current properties include Ace Ventura, Popeye, Xena and internally developed title Cyberswine. Titles are available online or on CD-ROM (discs cost from $9.95 to $14.95, including a free preview episode). BDE has bundling deals with Packard Bell NEC, CompuServe and Matrox. GT Interactive [GTIS] will distribute some of BDE's CD-ROMs in the US. (BDE, Kevin Bermeister, President, 818/615-1500) [snip]
