Media Happening. Time to make it again!
Posted on 14. Mar, 2009 by Sujimy in Blog
Attended the Media Business Forum organised by MDA last thursday and there’s so much to look forward to for year 2009 (and beyond)!
I guess all the media players were relieved to hear that MDA is increasing the hours and pumping more funds into the industry for the next 5 years.
It’s really a great time to be in the media industry. If you are into TV, Film-making, Music, Interactive Digital Media, Games or publishing, it will be cool to take that idea and make it happen in Singapore.
It’s also a great time to collaborate with other media players too. We can do more with our combined resources. I managed to discuss collaboration ideas with some experienced players in this industry and we all agree that collaboration is long overdue. You will see more companies working together during this tough times.
If you have been making media content on the side, its time to make it visible. Multi-platform is key.
Make, share & distribute.

What do you mean by Multi Platform.. is it showcasing using all the mediums available?
Internet, TV, MIO TV, STAR HUB TV and so on?

Yup. Can the same media content you make be expressed in other forms? Can a TV series content have an internet or mobile component or simply be expressed in a book/magazine (or vice versa). There are many examples in SMF website. The idea is to create a brand or an intellectual property for multi-platform distribution. Check out 360 TV in SMF website.

Yes Shahib. There are lots of people making content. now it is time to step up our capability in distributing this content globally. I think now any workable benchmark will be adopted ….Hollywood. Bollywood.
