- 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.
