I finally got to see Fast Film, probably the most ambitious and artistic mash-up movie to-date.
Made by Virgil Widrich Film- und Multimediaproduktion the film is available for purchase as an online download for £1.99 (VAT inc.) from World Cinema Online, another NESTA funded UK venture.
What is missing from the experience, and what MOD Films is set up to do, is extend the experience of watching something like Fast Film beyond the cinema experience.
Here's a case study based on this evening's entertainment
Reads about film
Buys the film online as a regular movie and downloads it
Watches the film
Looks up the film at modfilms.net
Browses the information on the film's asset library
Browses the information on the film's available MODs
Downloads the most popular MOD and individual assets of the film (limited access)
a) Subscribes to re-mixable film in order to download individual film assets and film MODs
b) Buys the re-mixable film edition so that MODs can be loaded directly into the film
c) Creates a film MOD and uploads this to modfilms.net
