BDE's Kiss now appearing on Entertaindom entertaindom.com When reading the following, it is worth noting that BDE is in the process of developing a Mac version of the projector animag.com One clever company that has a shot of upsetting the balance is Brilliant Digital Entertainment and its Multipath Movies, www.bde3d.com. The Dancing Pixel Festival, www.DancingPixel.com, uses Brilliant?s plug-in. The Dancing Pixel festival is co-sponsored by Animation Magazine. Information can be found on www.animag.com. Brilliant has secured many prominent content deals with Warner Bros., including 3D versions of Superman and Xena for the Web. As much as any of these competing technologies, Multipath Movies have a great shot at becoming a Web standard. Their ability to secure content deals for their product is one of the most promising indications that they are playing for keeps. My one problem with the plug-in is the lack of Mac compatibility. Because all of the other 3D systems for the Web we?ve reviewed have some level of Mac support, this puts Multipath Movies at a serious disadvantage.

KISS Immortals Web Animation Series Slated for "Leap Day" Launch February 29th LOS ANGELES, Jan 31, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Series Launch Moved to Accommodate Broader Web Site Distribution to New Affiliates Including VH-1.com Brilliant Digital Entertainment, Inc. (AMEX: BDE), a pioneering Internet content and tools developer, announced today that it will launch its new animated series, KISS Immortals, in Internet syndication on the Millennium's first "leap day," February 29th. Brilliant has delayed the launch date, initially set for January 29th, to accommodate higher-than-expected demand for the interactive 3-D animated series by third party affiliate Web sites. In addition to launch partners including KISSONLINE.com, the Excite@Home and Road Runner broadband services and Brilliant's own Web site, the launch of KISS Immortals will now include VH-1.com and other partners with whom Brilliant Digital is in final stages of negotiation and content integration. Kevin Bermeister, president of Brilliant Digital, commented, "We are very pleased with the increase in demand for KISS Immortals which has been stimulated by the growing visibility and success of our current Internet content offerings. While we were prepared to launch the series, at the request of new syndication partners, we are delaying the launch to accommodate their interest and enable them to participate, simultaneously, in the global launch. The worldwide launch of a new entertainment form, that combines music, 3-D animation, interactivity and the Internet, and features the music, voices and likenesses of the legendary rock band KISS, deserves a unique launch date. `Leap year day,' which comes but once every four years - and the first time this Millennium couldn't be a more perfect day for us to `rock' the Internet. We apologize to KISS fans around the world for the delay, but trust that the significance of the day, and the broader access it will allow, will be well worth the wait." Fred Graver, Senior Vice President, VH1.com, commented, "VH1.com is thrilled to partner with Brilliant Digital Entertainment in producing the kind of entertainment that our audience expects from the VH1 brand on the Web." KISS Immortals is the first-ever, made-for-the-Web 3-D animated series that features the actual voices, music, and likenesses of music legends KISS. KISS Immortals is a rock-and-roll adventure series, airing in weekly "Webisode" installments, on a number of partner Web sites. The series finds KISS, in the midst of a concert tour, mysteriously abducted into the alien world of Umbra. Umbra is an oppressive world without music or heroes, but KISS is determined to save this universe - and ours - armed with their music, a rebellious attitude and the viewers' help. Brilliant Digital also has plans to launch Multipath Series based on Xena: Warrior Princess and Ace Ventura: Pet Detective on affiliate Web sites later this year.
