Amazon Storyteller is a new application from Amazon Studios that lets you turn a movie script into a storyboard. You choose the backgrounds, characters, and props to visually tell a story.

A successful storyboard can tell the full story of a script, or capture its essence in short form, like a trailer. Either approach can be a great way to build an audience for your story and see how people respond to it. Why do you say Amazon Storyteller is in beta? Amazon Storyteller is brand new, and is limited in the kinds of scripts it can visualize. How long should my Amazon Storyteller storyboard be? That’s really up to you. How do I start an Amazon Storyteller storyboard? Visit any movie project that has an RTF version of the script. I went to a movie project, but there was no Amazon Storyteller button. This is because the script(s) in that project are not in RTF format. Do I have to put my script on Amazon Studios to use Amazon Storyteller?

Let's Get Gold - Brand New Commission for ITV1 - Fremantle Media UK - Story. 08 May 2012 Release date: 2 May 2012 ITV1 has ordered a brand new sports entertainment format, hosted by Vernon Kay, for Summer 2012. Let’s Get Gold is a sport meets entertainment mini-series of three pre-recorded episodes, stripped across consecutive nights. Sporting teams from across the UK will battle it out in front of a panel of celebrity pundits from the worlds of showbusiness and sport.

Over three nights, 15 teams will compete to transform their sport into the most spectacular and entertaining routine. Teams will be putting their skills to the test, performing breath-taking activities to demonstrate their sporting prowess. Motivated by a £100,000 prize fund – and judged by a panel of two sporting legends and two heroes from the world of entertainment - the show will seek to identify amateur and professional groups displaying the best technique, skill and athleticism, but also those with creativity, style and flair. Host Vernon Kay commented: Press Enquiries: Notes to editors: Shear Genius - Charlie's Angels Challenge part 1/3 (Descabelados - Desafio d'As Panteras parte 1/3) New Mom Battling Cancer Tells Her Story in YouTube Series. Joanna Montgomery gave birth to her first child, a healthy baby girl, at age 44. Though her pregnancy was high-risk because of her age, her daughter Magnolia was born in an emergency C-section in December 2011.

That is, until her doctors discovered a tumor on her fallopian tube while she was in labor. Had it not been for her pregnancy, her tumor may not have been discovered until it was more serious. Nevertheless, the new mom is now battling an aggressive cancer. She is now sharing her fight against cancer with the world, through a 10-episode YouTube documentary, Baby, It's Cancer created by CafeMomStudios.

Thousands Of YouTube Channels Now Making 6-Figures On Advertising Revenue Alone. Back in July of 2011 hundreds of YouTube partners were reportedly making over $100,000 per year. Thursday during the YouTube Keynote at VidCon Tom Picket, Global Head of content Operations & YouTube Next, reported for the first time that there are now “thousands of channels making more than six figures a year from YouTube advertising revenue alone.”

This statistic is pretty impressive. Previously nearly all of the YouTubers that were making six figures a year were doing so through a mix of income sources—advertising revenue was paired with brand sponsorships, appearances and other paid work that was obtained as a result of YouTube fame. It’s pretty amazing that today literally thousands of channels are able to rack in over $100,000 a year solely from their YouTube advertising revenue. Of course, YouTube isn’t a stranger to impressive statistics these days. With each statistic more surprising than the last, we can’t wait to see what YouTube announces next.

NBC Greenlights Yet Another Singing Competition, 'The Winner Is' NBC taps "The Voice" creator to help the network with new singing show "The Winner Is" The success of "The Voice" has given NBC something to really sing about — and it looks like the network is hoping lightning will strike twice.

NBC is launching another singing competition, "The Winner Is," which will pit aspiring singers of all ages against each other in pursuit of a $1 million prize. In a seemingly familiar development, the singers will be judged by an in-studio panel led by one celebrity judge. (The celebrity is yet to be determined.)

It’s easy to understand why 2012 is shaping up to be the year of social TV.

Consumers are turning to the so-called second screen like never before. A 2011 whitepaper prepared by Yahoo/Nielsen reported that as many as 86 percent of viewers use mobile devices while watching TV. While many think that number might be high, it signals a trend in consumer behavior that cannot be ignored. Broadcasters and marketers are feeling the heat of both risk and reward. Risk if they do nothing and cede the second screen to Twitter and Angry Birds; reward if they find a way to deliver companion experiences, drive engagement--and expand ad inventory. One result has been investment flowing into social TV apps, in what some--like MIT research scientist Marie-Jose Montpetit--are already comfortable calling a bubble.

"2012 is the year that people will think, rightly maybe, that they will make a lot of money out of social television, for the first time ever,” she says.

Report: 69% Of Tablet Owners Watch TV And Surf The Web Simultaneously. Just watching TV without also using a tablet or smartphone at the same time seems to be on its way out. Earlier this month, Nielsen launched the first part of its report on primetime TV viewers in the U.S. and today, the analytics company is taking a deeper dive into the demographics of those who simultaneously watch TV and use their tablets. According to Nielsen, 45% of tablet owners watch TV and use their tablet together at least once a day. A whopping 69% say they do so at least several times a week and only 12% say they never do this. There are some interesting differences between how men and women use their tablets in front of their TV.

Unsurprisingly, younger tablet users are more likely to use their tablet in form of the TV than older ones. Here are a few other findings from Nielsen’s report: [Image credit: Flickr user dan taylor] As Movies Debut on Facebook, the Era of Social Cinema Begins.

To make it happen, Magnolia partnered with a company called Milyoni, which specializes in live entertainment events on Facebook.

Today YouTube is announcing a cool new feature that literally lets you convert your 2D YouTube videos into 3D videos automatically. The 2D to 3D conversion feature was released in beta last September but today it’s being rolled out to everyone. Deb Mukherjee and Chen Wu write on the YouTube blog, “Today we’re… adding automatic 3D conversion for short-form videos uploaded in 1080p. Meaning, you can select 3D viewing in the Quality settings (click on the gear icon) on the YouTube player, then pop on your 3D glasses and see YouTube in another dimension.” Pretty cool, eh? Check out the example below (if you don’t have 3D glasses you can watch while crossing your eyes slightly—seriously!) So how does it work? Will you be using YouTube’s new 2D to 3D conversion feature for your 1080p videos?

Netflix developing second original series, this time from the creator of ‘Weeds’ SUV TV: 2013 Ford Escape Stars in NBC Reality TV Series.
