over the next two years, including online, mobile, DVD, publishing, and
more.
Time
Jumper will first release as a ten-part series of 5-to-8 minute digital
episodes made available for retail on iTunes at www.iTunes.com/timejumper.
On July
24, Time Jumper’s first episode will premiere exclusively on iTunes for
free, with additional episodes releasing through December 2009.
Retailing
for $0.99 per episode on iTunes, consumers will be able to download Time
Jumper on their Mac, PC, iPod with video, iPhone and/or widescreen TV
with Apple TV.
Here goes
the Time Jumper story. Twenty-year-old college student Terry Dixon has
the most unique mobile device on Earth — the Articulus, a time travel
device developed by Terry’s father, Arthur Dixon.
To prevent
the Articulus from falling into the wrong hands, Arthur coded it to work
only with his DNA. After a laboratory experiment claims Arthur’s life,
Terry and his older brother Sam become the only people capable of using
it.
Recruited
into the secret crime fighting organization H.U.N.T. (Heroes United,
Noble and True) after the mysterious disappearance of golden boy Sam,
Terry becomes a reluctant hero living in his brother’s shadow.
As he
struggles to fill his new role, unnatural shifts in the course of
history send Terry hurtling through time to capture Charity Vyle, the
diabolical leader of criminal cartel C.U.L.T. (Council of Unstoppable,
Lethal Terrorists).
But
something more than just Terry’s molecules are being reconfigured as he
leaps across time, and it threatens to corrupt everything he understands
about who he is, and whether the world is actually worth saving after
all.
Digitally
produced using motion graphic technology, Time Jumper combines the
traditional print look and feel of a comic book with multimedia
elements, including edgy visuals, effects, music, voice-overs and
fast-paced storyboards.
