PERCYFX App Launches on iOS, Melding the Best of Entertainment and Technology
for Movie Fans
TORONTO--(Marketwire - July 14, 2011) - Percy3D, a creative web services company
that encourages people to create their own movie moment using the latest 3D
visual effects and multimedia technologies, today announced it has entered into
an agreement with Universal Partnerships & Licensing. Leveraging Universal's
vast library of titles, film buffs can relive favorite movie scenes with a
customizable twist. Percy3D's interactive app, PERCYFX, melds the best of
entertainment and technology together by embedding personalized 3D text into
well-known movies as if the text were a part of the original scene. PERCYFX
delivers the clip to the iPhone, iPad or social network page (Facebook and
YouTube) so it may be shared with friends.
Beginning today, iOS customers will have access to classic Universal movies
including blockbusters from the Back to the Future, The Fast and the Furious and
American Pie franchises. Film titles will include clips that customers will be
able to personalize with text phrases, starting at three customizable clips for
$0.99. Clip content for each film will be regularly added and refreshed to
encourage users to return. The app will also become available to Android, RIM,
Ovi and Windows Mobile users shortly thereafter.
Percy3D provides branded content owners such as Universal Pictures the ability
to take films directly to on-the-go fans with the latest mobile technology. As
well, users may now engage with the studio's content on a more intimate level.
The app is designed to serve as a new form of social expression and provides
custom videos with studio-quality 3D visual effects on-demand in just seconds.
"Given the large selection of titles Universal has to offer, we're pleased to
launch PERCYFX with films of genres ranging from action and drama to animated;
there's something for everyone to personalize and share," said Julie Steiner,
founder and president of Percy3D. "An added bonus to content owners such as
Universal is that the PERCYFX app provides a fun, easy-to-use product for fans
who want to utilize content in a new and exciting way -- one that has never been
available before."
Currently, the PERCYFX app will carry the following titles from Universal
Pictures:
* The 40-Year-Old Virgin
* American Pie franchise titles
* The Big Lebowski
* The Fast and the Furious franchise titles
* Back to the Future franchise titles
