Mobile Video Wall

The Mobile Video Wall has a Tall Banner in the top slot paired with a freeform 320x300 unit below the fold. The 320x300 unit lives below the Featured Today section and features a 2 second animation that will resolve to a video slate and one CTA. When the user clicks on the video slate it will launch a full video in the IMDb video player.
