I started doing a series on my Instagram stories where each Friday I featured a person/business/product that I really like. I'll probably repeat the few I've already done again at some point on here. The point is to hopefully introduce you to some great new products/business/people that you were not aware of before!! Today's Feature Friday is a product/business called ClearPlay. In a nutshell, ClearPlay makes filters for movies so that you can enjoy them without content that you'd prefer to avoid. There is a machine that you purchase and you have a yearly subscription that enables you to watch as many movies as you'd like! It has different levels of filters for many things. If you've heard of VidAngel, it is a similar concept, though you cannot pick and choose like you can with VidAngel. That's a con, I guess, but the pro is that you don't have to pay for a movie each time you watch it.
I can't remember all the filters, but there is one for violence, language, blasphemy, sex, there's one that deals with alcohol and drugs but I don't remember what's it called, and there may be a few more as well. My family has used this service for years! One of the first movies that we watched was Twister and it has become one of our favorites!!! We watch all the Marvel movies with it and recently watched what has become a new family favorite, The Martian. For some reason, there have been occasions where the filter was off just a bit so it would either only mute half of a bad word, or mute just before, or just after the word. It also has happened once or twice where the audio will cut out but the movie will keep playing and you'll get a message box on your screen. This has to do with anti-piracy stuff in the disc itself and there is nothing ClearPlay can do about it (at least at this time). We've usually gotten it to work by taking the disc out and putting it back in. On the flip side, my brothers got several Marvel movies as gifts one year and one of the Thor movies didn't show up as having a filter for some reason! It was very strange but ClearPlay paid for us to ship it to them, they created a custom filter for the copy we had, and then they shipped it back to us! How's that for customer service!!! Even as an adult, I do not like hearing/reading language if I can help it because it gets stuck in my head. I don't want it there, so I really like having the option to just keep it out of my movies. Feel free to email me or leave a comment if you have any questions! Do you use any kind of filtering service? Have you heard of ClearPlay or VidAngel before?
