HN Jobs

SF Bay Area. Full Time. Founding Team. www.cinecandy.com I am the founder of Cinecandy, the world's first Movie Studio As A Service (MSAAS, for cute). I've spent the past year solo and I am looking for a programmer and a designer. Think of what moviemaking is: a writer, a director, some actors, a post production crew, and ultimately distribution. If you think which parts of moviemaking have been disrupted by technology, really only distribution has. The creation of movies, however, has not! My vision is to completely automate the moviemaking process, from scripting, to directing, acting, post-production, and distribution. And Cinecandy will make it so easy that anyone can do it, and do it with their friends. The first step in achieving that vision is a tool that will let people easily create group videos with their friends for special occasions. The example I like to use is the video shown at a wedding by the Best Man while he gives a speech - lots of well-wishing from friends and family in the video. Because this initial set of users will show their videos in public, they are willing to pay for an automatically produced video. More if it's professionally edited. I sold my last startup (www.gamemaki.com) and had a major flop with an app earlier this year: allthingsd.com/20110425/meet-remember-it-an-iphone-app-born-of-a-hangover/ But I ship product and this one has me pretty stoked. More about me in my HN profile. Do reach out - I love talking about my baby!
