MEDIA CENTER PC NEWSFebruary 15th 2005 Sony PSP Provides New Channel For Short Film Makers
PSPunch!! collects collects works by short filmmakers and offers them for download in the Mpeg-4 format that can play on Sony's new handheld. Sony is attempting to position the PSP as a portable media center rather than just a games machine. It announced over the weekend that 4 movie titles would be available on UMD (Universal Media Disc) in April and has previously revealed that the initial shipment of PSPs to the USA would include a UMD version of Spider Man 2. The films on PSPunch!! don't quite have the production values of a Sony-backed feature yet, but you might find some hidden gems. However, at the moment, you'll have to speak Japanese as that's the major language, but site creator David M Shimamoto hopes to host work by artists from other countries soon. He said, "this is a great chance to let my fellow film makers promote their works to 'gamers', a range of viewers who usually do not have a chance to bump in to such creations." The films are all viewable through Quicktime, even if you don't have a PSP. PSPunch!! is actively looking for submissions. If you have a film you would like to see hosted on PSPunch!! then you can either upload via FTP, or post a MiniDV tape. Details are available on the website itself. Source: Sony PSP Review |
