mytoons owns uploaded content.

What do you think?

I thought I might put an official word in here from MyToons.

First about Me: I’m Paul Ford, Chairman, President and Co-Founder of MyToons. I’m a technologist, and ardent marketeer, and a HUGE animation fan.

MyToons is a fun place for animators and fans to hang out, watch the best animation in the world, and get to know each other. We have worked with animators and studios from all over the world over the world for about the last 20 years or so, and we are pretty in tune with what they like and don’t like, what turns them on, and what they simply don’t like. The content on MyToons is never juried. We’re a bit like You Tube in that people can upload anything they want, and the best will rise to the top. It’s really the power of community at work. We DO have one special section on the MyToons homepage, though, called MyToons Loves. This is where anyone, no matter what their rating, can rise to the top and be featured on our homepage for all to see. This is the place where we put OUR favs! We are totally committed to the concepts of Web 2.0, and to our community.

I think that our focus is a bit different from our friends at Aniboom. First of all, we had a chance to meet the peeps at Aniboom a few weeks ago in Ottawa – at the Ottawa International Animation Festival. They are really cool people, and it was a pleasure finally meeting them.

I really can’t speak for them, but Aniboom’s focus seems more to act as a digital production house/intermediary. That’s very cool indeed. They seem to be there to help out animators, and hopefully find the next big thing and get it into wide, mainstream production. Having worked with every major studio on the planet, I can tell you that that is not an easy task. If you’ve ever had your killer idea rejected at a studio pitch meeting, you’ll know what I mean. Props to Aniboom for helping animators get what they deserve for their hard work!

In conclusion, please don’t bash one company or the other. We are different people doing different things. Both Aniboom AND MyToons have a real purpose and a real place in this beautiful wide animated world. Props to all of you, Aniboom!

Best Regards
Paul Ford

Japan = Inherently Awesome.

There is just no getting around it.

Gads…why can’t we all just get along?!?

…man, that does not leave a good taste in my mouth on behalf of the aniboom community….

(but i won’t hold it against the rest of you!)

Simsons ‘08 introduces a new neighbor, his name;
“Fake Steve Ballman”.
I wonder where thay got the inspiration?

nm, I guess it’s coming anyway. I’ll stick to digital cable for toons for now. Videotron has at least 5 toon channels that I know of. Joost won’t support high def, so screw them. They don’t even support linux.

Digital high def camcorders are about $600 now adays. Why don’t we have a place to upload them in high def? That’s the NEW 10 billion dollar question.
I want a new codec to compress my toons in high def, and I want a service with a HUGE telecom line to broadcast them through my computer, to my high def TV in high def. With absolutely no revenue model or advertising allowed. Sili valley, get the wallets out! This is the most senseless idea of all. Make it happen as usual.
