D.Film Moviemaker

25 December 2006

DFILM creates visual communication software for the youth market.

In 1999, DFILM launched the MovieMaker, which let users create a short animated cartoon on a website and email it to their friends. MovieMaker was extremely viral – each person who received a movie would in turn create and send movies to 4 or 5 additional friends. As a result, the application became phenomenally popular, with over 2 million users creating movies in just the first month it was online. MovieMaker won several major web awards, was praised in places like the New York Times and Newsweek, and it was licensed to companies like Yahoo!, Sam Adams Beer, MisticTeas and the Sierra Club for use on their own sites.

DFILM was founded in 1997 as one of the first major showcases of digital filmmaking. The goal from the beginning was to show how new technology was allowing ordinary consumers to express themselves in exiting new ways. Although a true bootstrap organization in every sense, the company presented a series of sold out screenings of consumer created digital films in 50 cities all over the world. DFILM was also invited to organize the first ever screening of digital filmmaking at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival in 1999.

DFILM’s team has a long history of innovation and experience in the field of visual communications. Founders created one of the first sites to let users watch movies on the web in 1994 (going live just a few months after Netscape was formed) and the first ever online greeting card site in 1996. DFILM’s management team also includes some of the world’s top youth marketing experts. The company received first round financing from Disney in January 2001. DFILM is now in stealth mode developing several next generation products.

About RecycleNow

We want you to recycle more stuff more often. Most people already recycle to some degree and this campaign is designed to encourage everyone to do a bit more.

Who’s running the campaign?

The Recycle Now campaign has been created and is run by WRAP, which stands for the Waste & Resources Action Programme. WRAP will be working closely with councils and retailers to make sure the recycling message is heard.

WRAP is an independent organisation that is funded by Government. Our job is to make recycling work better in the UK and to get more people recycling more stuff more often. Find out more about WRAP through our website at www.wrap.org.uk

The tool and the underlying database is being kindly provided by Valpak, who is also hosting the database and responsible for maintaining the data. WRAP is pleased to acknowledge and thank Valpak for collaborating in sharing this tool to further the broad aims of recycling more things more often.

Buy Nothing Christmas

25 December 2006

Introducing Buy Nothing Christmas

This Christmas we’ll be swamped with offers, ads and invitations to buy more stuff. But now there’s a way to say enough and join a movement dedicated to reviving the original meaning of Christmas giving.

Buy Nothing Christmas is a national initiative started by Canadian Mennonites but open to everyone with a thirst for change and a desire for action.

Buy Nothing Christmas is a stress-reliever, and more people need to hear about it. You can change your world by simply putting up one of the posters (or make your own) in your church, place of worship, home or work. Be sneaky about it if you have to. The point is to get people thinking. It’s an idea whose time has come, so get out there and make a difference!
