Top-ranked movie "Independence Day" FREE Screen Saver Download Here!

The marketeers behind the revenue-busting blockbuster movie, "Independence Day" (ID4) used a new weapon in the war for the summer movie-goer dollar screen savers that can be downloaded from their World Wide Web site. "Building interest before a movie is released is the key to drawing a blockbuster audience. For Independence Day, we created a new marketing tooldownloadable screen savers on the Web," said Yushun Yuen of Epoch Communications Design. "Our goal was to break all previous revenue records, which we did, thanks in part of this unique, new marketing promotional tool." Demand was created by releasing footage to audiences more than five weeks before the movie was released on July 3, 1996, via the screen saver. "The screen saver included an action-packed preview of the movie, which consisted of animated special effects shots, plus a fun count-down to the movie's release," said Yuen, who created the screen saver for 20th Century Fox.

The screen saver, available at the ID4 web site was created using CineMac for Director, a screen saver factory from MacSourcery, a Southern California-based software developer specializing in multimedia tools for both Macintosh and Windows computers .

The Independence Day screen saver has propelled the use of screen savers as a promotional device to the forefront. Jim Roberts, president of MacSourcery, said: "We've seen CineMac used to create screen savers for music CDs, corporate promotions and much more, but with ID4, the potential for screen savers as a marketing tool is exploding." Among other companies using CineMac to create promotional screen savers are Sony Records, who is using it to create screen savers for their music CDs. Guess Jeans is among the many users who place downloadable screen savers created using CineMac Mac on their Web sites to heighten awareness of their products and services. Samples are available at the MacSourcery Web Site (.
