A better way of doing a video wall
^skip to 21:25
2 way navigation
Horizontal navigation is via category
Vertical navigation is via sort order, eg. title
Example View By Title
^ we have horizontal navigation is Starting letter, vertical navigation is 2nd letter of title.
Example View By Year
Scrolling past bottom of screen makes the subgroup overlay bounce downwards so it's always visible
Dyanmic grouping, if one subgroup doesn't have many movies then it is grouped
Example S,T,U-V,W,Y-Z,A,B,C
Stopping on movie shows info overlay, options to play etc.
Advantages of video wall:
1. 2 directional scrolling = faster / less clicks to find movie
2. Using the mini movie details overlay can see movie details without having to dedicate large part of screen to a static window showing details, this means more thumbnails on the wall.
3. Similar thing can be done for music
