MUMBAI: Paramount's
digital entertainment division is launching
VooZoo application in MTV's vMTV virtual world
and Makena's There.com.
With
VooZoo, vMTV and There.com members can
send each other video emoticons called Voohoos,
which are made up of video clips from Paramount
Pictures' library.
The Voohoos last for a few seconds and capture
famous one-liners from a gamut of movies including
Footloose, Flashdance, Beverly Hills
Cop and Mean Girls.
Members
of both the worlds will be able to purchase
the clips for $1 each and use them when chatting
with other members.
Furthermore, instead of just quoting lines from
pop-culture figures like Cher Horowitz Clueless
or Ferris Bueller's Ferris Bueller's Day
Off, members can actually express themselves
with the actual movie clip, which plays in a
small window above their head.
Over
time, movie clips from Paramount Pictures' library
will be made available to There.com members.
All of the movie clips offered will comply with
There.com's PG-13 environment. Consumers
will also have the opportunity to purchase a
DVD via a sell-through capability that will
pop up once a video clip is selected.
In
addition, MTV will offer clips reflecting the
best pop-culture moments from its stable of
shows.
The
VooZoo application is currently in private beta
in There.com and will be available in
vMTV some time in the next quarter.
VooZoo
in vMTV and There.com marks the third
migration of the application onto multiple platforms
since its debut on Facebook last month.
