The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Connected is an American documentary web series on AOL On, executive produced by Morgan Spurlock. The first season, in which six NYC stories are included, was released on March 31, 2015. The show was adapted from the Israeli version with the same name MEHUBARIM מחוברים, originally produced by Koda Communications. The show's creators are Ram Landes and Doron Zabari and the director is Ami Teer. The show follows six participants, each from a different background who film themselves with no crew involved, only using a hand-held video camera. The show's participants quickly become their own directors who are able to tell their own story using the cameras that they were given. During the production, about 2000 hours of raw footage was collected, which has been edited to 20 episodes of about 25 minutes each. The original docu-drama format was sold to more than 17 production companies and distribution channels from countries including Denmark, France, Ireland, India, Norway, Finland and the US. The US version has been produced by Koda Communications, an Israeli production company created by Ram Landes, which produces the Israeli version as well. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
