The Hollywood Reporter: "Hulu is planning a major push into original content. The video hub—long a destination for TV and movie content on the Web—is looking to expand beyond its present audience, and perhaps protect itself against a possible partner defection down the road.
i see this as the brim of the evolution in the merge of Film ,Television and web media. the way films and television is distributed is on its way to a major breakdown and in a time where we can distribute content instantly and cheaply as before where actual film had to be distributed from theatre to theatre we are on our way to a new format in entertainment. i know that many companies including the big six are browning their bridges right now over this inevitable transition into 21st century distribution and finding a enforceable way to profit will now be one of the biggest challenges
ReplyDeleteI am an avid Hulu audience member and I'm very grateful for all the entertainment (particularly distractions) that it has provided me with. However, it seems that this once-useful entertainment source seems to be evolving into a much larger organization than necessary. Through a production perspective, props to the Hulu company for progressing so well. However, as a viewer, I am immediately turned off my the overwhelming, repetitive advertisements and now the promotion of their own programs. Although I say this though, I will most likely continue to turn to Hulu for my weekly dose of 30 Rock and maintain my social conformation and contribution to entertainment consumerism.
