Using these special powers, he helps those in trouble or need and regularly assists on some of the more bizarre and unusual cases that Chicago police investigator Lt. Karrin Murphy (Valerie Cruz) cannot solve.

BlinkBox: Express Yourself With Scifi Film And TV Content

BlinkBox: Beta Phase

Blinkbox lets you express yourself with great film and TV content. Blinks, as they are called, are film clips tagged with personal messages that can be sent to anyone via email or mobile, and are embeddable on blogs, sites and social network profiles. There’s already loads of SciFi (only a small part of the full content) to be blinked from.

We’re currently in the middle of ‘getting the hang of it’, so once we’ve used it in anger, we’ll be able to give you the low down. As a taster, I’ve created a most non-scifi, yet hilarious, blink from the scifi film . Unfortunately, after that I couldn’t either retrieve it via my mobile phone or actually navigate from the blink creation page - these things are to be expected on a beta system, so be patient. I’ll update you once I’ve gotten the blink to blink on.

There’s limited availability of invites for the beta phase, but anyone who signs up will receive £1 free credit. It’s free to email blinks, it only costs 25p to send to a mobile device.

Heads-up! Competition:
In addition to this for the first two weeks of the campaign we are running a competition to win one Golden Pass and two Standard Passes to the London Comicon on the 1st and 2nd September for the best Sci–Fi blink created. Click here for details.

Update: It’s now blinking, so: As a taster, I’ve created a most non-scifi, yet hilarious, blink from the scifi film A Scanner Darkly. (Minus any text, which I believe you can add at build time).

It works well on a mobile phone too, a lot clearer than I thought it would be, and the download speed is respectable.

P.S. Youtube is Old Skool. Well, in all fairness, BlinkBox seems to be geared around films and tv, rather than home-movies, so they’re different beasts… probably.
