Environement Channel auf einer größeren Karte anzeigen |
Today we invite filmmakers and broadcasters world-wide to join and our new project building synergies between Television and the Internet.
Instead of focusing primarily on the destruction of the environment, we want to show what must be preserved at all costs. Even though environmental awareness has steadily increased in the past few years, a lot remains to be done. The remaining living space is getting tighter and tighter for humans, fauna and flora. The environment still doesn’t come on top of our general agenda.
The EBU (European Broadcast Union) is supporting us to construct a new international TV and Internet Channel regarding ecology and economy. For this reason Eumagine will build up a new community - SaveOurWorld (SOW) – as working platform for filmmakers and broadcasters world-wide.
Almost all broadcasters successfully operate media libraries in order to allow their viewers to use important programs on demand.
Based on a field test on the existing platform http://eumagine.eu/blog we found a huge global interest on programms regarding Ecology and Economy. Within eight weeks the number of pageviews grew by 845%.
This is the chance for all filmmakers and broadcasters to create a new world dedicated trademark based on programs regarding ecology and economy. A new Public Internet TV Service in contrast to the more and more commercially oriented video-platforms like Google and YouTube.
Aim is not a competition but the development of new synergies between the media television, radio and Internet.
The existing platform http://eumagine.eu/blog has been equipped with about 150 films. Sources are contributions from independent producers and environmental organizations.
The participating broadcasters develop an editorial community on the Internet establishing a virtual dialogue with the audience to develop themes.
The collections are transmitted both by the broadcasters on air and on the Internet.
The platform will be advertised by the participating broadcasters. In return the broadcasters will be advertised on the Internet platform through links to their media libraries and program schedule information.
By experience we know that a website has to be updated daily and must be supervised. This is the only way to establish a constant and attractive dialogue with the spectators.
In order to establish the platform permanently, the participating partners provide daily news on the topics of ecology and economy.
At regular intervals (Jour Fix) there will be online interviews with interesting personalities and celebrities from the fields of ecology and economy.
In addition there will be online chats to relevant topics, supplemented by our new category „Speakers Corner“.
In order to ensure the quality of content, the platform has to be supervised editorially and technically dailly. Due to the time zones we will need round-the-clock editor teams.
This will establish a growing social network guaranteeing an image enlargement for all participating partners.
Please help us to spread the word

The EBU (European Broadcast Union) will construct a new international TV-Collection regarding ecology andeconomy. For this reason Eumagine will build up a new community - SaveOurWorld (SOW) – as working platform for filmmakers and broadcasters world-wide.
The European Broadcasting Union is the largest association of national broadcasters in the world.They promote cooperation between broadcasters and facilitate the exchange of audiovisual content.
A TV-Collection is a number of documentaries with a central theme produced by broadcasters from many different countries. Each broadcaster has access to the other contributions from the TV-Collection. The films will be distributed both by the participating broadcasters as well as on the Internet. Eumagine will be the platform to present your ideas and develop a global editorial team.
The films will be distributed both by the participating broadcasters as well as on the Internet. The filmmakers have the chance to get an international reputation especially in television.
We are looking for writers, journalists and filmmakers who have contacts to broadcasters in their country and win their participation with the support of the EBU. Please feel free to contact us in order to find support.

What is EUMAGINE?
EUMAGINE is a combination of the syllable eu = you and the word imagine. => eumagine
That means:
Create your own image of our world.
EUMAGINE consists of the the internet video portal “EUMAGINE TV” und the network for film professionals world-wide “EUMAGINE FACTORY”.
eumagine tv
.. is internet television for explorers. Television for people who always enjoyed to travel with the finger on the map. EUMAGINE TV replaces the good old world atlas by Google Earth or Maps and the finger on the map is replaced by the cursor.
In the age of information overload EUMAGINE TV is a tool for users to discover our world on their own way, rather than based on the most compliant contents of the mainstream news and entertainment industry.
EUMAGINE TV does not only supply videos. In addition there are offered context-sensitive links. The video window acts as a launching pad from which to explore regions of the world and establish direct contacts with the local people and film professionals.
Among others the program priorities are: Human Rights, Investigative journalism, science and environment, education, history, culture and art. Currently EUMAGINE TV creates a map presenting independent filmmakers world-wide.
→ Please feel free to see a preview of our new US-Filmmakers-Channel
Ideas for new ‘maps’ are welcome: How about channels for film boards, film schools and universities, studios, equipment rentals, festivals, musicians, music, movies, and …
Unlike other video portals all videos are selected and accompanied by editors. Among other things this is managed by the crew and members of EUMAGINE FACTORY.
eumagine factory
… is an international network for screenwriters, filmmakers, musicians, producers and television editors.
The mission is to construct creative and productive bridges between people from various cultures and continents.
The Web 2.0 offers the unique chance for exchange and cooperation between filmmakers and their audience world-wide. A constant ‘come together’ of people who would never have met otherwise.
The main tasks of EUMAGINE FACTORY are:
Pitchings – the presentation, discussion and development of film, television and video projects.
Distribution – the development and testing of new ‘fair trade’ distribution systems.
News, Recommendations, Laboratories – The latest insider news for filmmakers, recommendations, tips, links, downloads, tools and workshops such as the factory film school.

Development of community size in 2009
The number of visitors grew by 2611 in July to 7710 unique sessions in October. In the same period the pageviews increased to seven-fold at 36904 pageviews in October.
Until end of November EUMAGINE FACTORY has about 100 registered media representatives from 24 different nations.
The extent of the filmmakers base on TWITTER grew on almost to 2000 ‘followers’ within the last 12 weeks.
Who’s behind?
Wolfgang Junghans – after studying at the Academy of Television and Film in Munich, Wolfgang worked as a cutter, sound recordist, location and production manager. In 1987 he founded the JUNGHANS MEDIA PRODUCTION, focusing on image films and television infotainment. One of the most important productions was the award wining TV magazine “HOW MUCH? The Business Show” hosted by Hubertus Meyer-Burckhardt. Wolfgang worked as screenwriter, director and producer of numerous documentaries, commercials, teasers, showreels and developed various formats.
Armin Kraft – For more than 10 years Armin worked as an assistant director and producer in the (speech) and musical theater as well as light and laser show designer for musicals and show productions. Since 15 years he is active as an producer, executive producer, writer and director in film and television.
Pierre Mathias (German Television / European Broadcast Union) – As a volunteer consultant Pierre is engaged to establish contacts between independent filmmakers and the public service broadcasters.
The Mission
… is the continuous expansion and modernization of the websites and a steady improvement in the quality of editorial content in order to increase the memberships and user loyalty.
Financial affairs
The success of a web portal demands an excellent customer service, including weekends. The time zones play a significant role and require shift and night work. EUMAGINE TV & FACTORY are associated with significant technical and editorial expenses.
Previous efforts to generate revenue from subtle contextual ‘Ads by Google’ have not worked so far. Currently we are testing so-called ‘AFFILIATE’ models.
Basically we are looking for other solutions e.g. a general sponsor, who could reach his specific target group via EUMAGINE TV & FACTORY without scattering losses.
As we continue to stand by our high quality standards, a chartering of the page with any flashing advertising messages shall not be an acceptable solution.
