CYNOPSISDIGITAL
10.02.14 Good morning. It’s Thursday, October 2, 2014, and this is your first early morning digital briefing.
Facebook will distribute a short-film series based on the Twilight saga, developed in part by the novel’s author Stephanie Meyer. The five films, called The Storytellers – New Creative Voices of The Twilight Saga, will premiere in 2015, and will be directed exclusively by women, as a way to promote female filmmakers. A contest will determine the winners, who will be mentored by Twilight star Kristen Stewart, director Catherine Hardwicke, and non-Twilight personnel such as Kate Winslet, Julie Bowen (Modern Family) and others.
Netflix ordered a new original animated TV series and film for kids, Kong-King of the Apes, to debut in 2016. The 12 half-hour episodes are a modern take on the hairy big guy.
The Orchard acquired the entire Warren Miller Entertainment catalog, and released the first film under the deal: No Turning back. WME joins Red Bull Media House and other sports brands that digitally distribute through The Orchard.
New Buzz TV Studios (NBTV) launched a new multi-channel network yesterday, called New Buzz TV. The MCN will feature music, sports, comedy, lifestyle, tech and multicultural video with travel series like 49 Before 50, fitness show Knock Out obesity, satire series Vooza and Mommy Loves Tech. New Buzz TV can be downloaded on TiVo, Roku, Vizio, Western Digital, Netgear and other OTT and Smart TVs.

BrightRoll held its annual Video Summit in New York City yesterday, and presented a new study with Nielsen about the connection between mobile video and TV. The study found:
– A marketer’s increase in cost per target rating point (TRP) doubled once they hit the 60-70 percent for a TV campaign.
– TV and mobile video can bump up a marketer’s targeted reach by 12.7 percent (CPG targeting females 25-54).
– Brands’ cost per TRP is estimated to drop by 13.7 percent when they spend 15 percent of budgets on mobile.
“There are still some things missing, and the ability to plan against mobile is a ways off. I also think we have yet to figure out creative on mobile,” Nielsen’s Managing Director of Digital Andrew Feigenson said.

Ranking is based on the total Xfinity On Demand views on the TV within seven days of a show’s original live airing. The above list is inclusive of all in-season programming across broadcast, cable and premium networks. Views of most broadcast and cable programming within the first three days are included in Nielsen L+3 ratings.
So what does this mean? “Preliminary results (below) from last week’s broadcast premieres like How to Get Away with Murder, Gotham, Scorpion, Blackish and Madame Secretary showcase how people are tuning-in,” Comcast Cable Executive Director Video Strategy and Analysis Steve Meyer told Cynopsis. Returning shows like Blacklist, Big Bang Theory, The Good Wife and Scandal are also seeing a huge lift from VOD. All are drawing impressive live viewership and attracting an incredible time-shifted audience. We’re finding that the L+3 rating – and notably the On Demand portion of that – is an increasingly important number for a show that’s finding an audience.”
