JUMP -- The David Bowie Interactive CD-ROM
(promotional flyer)
Pop Culture goes interactive with JUMP, the world's first
Interactive Music Video. The new media pioneers of ION and
multimedia mega-star David Bowie have come together to create a
CD-ROM that lets anyone play in Bowie's creative arena and edit
their personal music video "cuts" to the single "Jump They Say."
With JUMP, you don't just play the latest music video, you play
with it. JUMP is the first product that lets rock fans consummate
their ultimate fantasy: to get in on the adrenaline-pumping thrill
of creation. Viewers become doers, and digital consumers get to
dance with the data itself...
JUMP transports users to a virtual Bowie Environment from which
they can navigate through Bowie's creative world -- into listening
rooms, photo libraries, personal interviews, and the virtual video
studio.
The hands-on fun begins in JUMP's virtual video studio. Amateur
mixers choose shot sequences from five separate sources of
continuous raw video -- never-before-seen footage from the actual
Bowie shoot -- and edit them into a seamless whole. Each JUMP
session is a chance to make an entirely new video.
JUMP takes a leap in interactive video technology with its ability
to display five simultaneous Quicktime video channels and offer
instant access to total video immersion. A new kind of interface
invites play, encourages manipulation, and grants access to leading
edge video technology.
JUMP capitalizes on the most current CD-ROM technology. It works
on single-speed CD drives but gets a quantum boost from the new
double- and triple-speed players. The faster the drive, the higher
the frame rate -- and the smoother the Bowie video.
JUMP is also an audio CD and video player, containing two different
tracks of "Jump They Say" and four complete Quicktime Bowie videos.
You can view or you can do. You can listen or you can mix. It's
the ION multi-choice experience.
ION creates new kinds of interactive experiences that move beyond
the cerebral to the visceral, from one source to many. JUMP is the
first product to combine elements of realtime, hands-on,
mix-your-own editing along with digital music, video, photography,
and information to create a total entertainment adventure.
ION is an independent entertainment label for the future that works
like a record label, developing the artists and hits that will
pioneer the frontier of new musical, motion picture and multimedia
experiences.
JUMP is the brainchild of four ION partners: sought-after
programmer Ty Roberts, digital musician John Eric Greenberg, motion
picture marketer and nonlinear storyteller Ann Greenberg, and
Grammy-nominated digital designer Lou Beach. ION's success is,
literally, in the mix.
ION is the first interactive company to form a historic
multi-million dollar partnership with a multi-national
entertainment conglomerate. Their deal with Bertelsmann Music Group
(BMG), one of the world's largest record companies, was based on
the breakthrough achievement of JUMP and the promise of similar
products based on the ION switch.
JUMP requires a color Macintosh running System 7 with 5 megabytes
of RAM, a CD-ROM drive and a 256-color display. PC version
available soon.
