[videoblogging] Profit sharing for film crews
I'm kicking around an idea for a pay to play jam session video application. World class disc dog events are held in every region of the country several times per year. The same can be said of agility and flyball tournaments as well as rally-obedience and dock diving. I'd like to sell good footage (or production pieces) a la carte, pay to play-style with revenue share for the talent. I think that's pretty much the concept. I could see 10,000 users on my site when completed. With high quality content, I think it's a sure thing. Training video's $5-10 for 5-10 minutes. Jamming videos 2 minutes - $2-4, or god forbid we make them collectors items! I'll also be bringing in vendors for hard-goods sales - all the vendors and trainers and businesses that service the dog sport community and taking a cut of their sales generated by the site. Big money advertising is an afterthought. So, my question is would any of you be interested in profit sharing for projects such as a training video or jam session (could be 10 great jam sessions in a big contest), and if so, how do we get working together? I know it's not much money straight away, but at $1 profit a video, if you had 30 videos that did 1000 views, that'd be $30k. If the right niche markets were hit with the right people setting up communities and creating content this could be a viable alternative to corporate media. Any thoughts?

[videoblogging] Re: Would love your input
Greetings John, Firstly looks good, like the intro, graphics, content and would watch more of these . Short enough, looks good on full size monitor( will try it later on a phone) The sound for the presenters is panned hard to a single channel which is a little off putting, I wear my cans half cocked at work so all I was hearing was the music, effects until I realized what was happening it's particularly off putting during the You Tube clip which has the sound on both channels and gets in the way of the dialog. I can't believe it's a deliberate choice given the quality of the rest of the show but i Lastly the ending. The fair use titles are pretty meaningless as far as any culpability is concerned and maybe your own logo, promotion ending on the URL is more beneficial? best of luck with the new show. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, triponadeal j...@... wrote: Hello all.

[videoblogging] MP4 video track missing
Hi all, I've been trying to transcode a batch of MP4s that were exported from Vegas Pro as h264/AAC. The strange thing is they play fine for me, but when I upload them to Blip, their server can't transcode them. So I tried recompressing them myself in QT Pro and the output has no video track. Even viewing the info for the mp4 in QT Pro shows a video track with n/a as filesize. So strange. Hoping that Jake or one of you other video codec masters can shine some light on this.

If you, as a video producer (shoot, cut, encode) were to hook up with people like me and create 50 videos for a rabid community like mine, or more likely 10 videos for me and 10 videos for five other sites like mine, and sold 200 units on each of them at $1 profit per, that's $10K. I think the key is to get hooked up with people who know their niche and have a solid community. They can fill you in on what will do well. I see this as a great hookup for the online video world. It could immediately create all kinds of strong independent media opportunities. It could create a new, non-ad-based media market, where only the passionate play - passionate content creator, the passionate producer/ curator and the passionate viewer.

RE: [videoblogging] MP4 video track missing
I suspect it's the aspect ratio or frame rate causing the problem. This happens to me also when ever I try and up load to blip any size other than 4x3 or 16x9 out of Sony Vegas with a weird frame rate. Try rendering out in the aspect ratio it was recorded in or try one of these at 30fps 640 x 480 480 x 360 320 x 240 My solution was to render out to Huffy then convert to VP6 flv format in Sorensen Squeeze, then up that to blip which will NOT re-transcode the flv file. Much better quality, but this may not be your solution.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Profit sharing for film crews
There is a major omission in your budget here Ron - the COST of making the videos. I think this works out to far less than minimum wage for the video producers in the equation once cost and time are factored in. Assuming you want something of moderate technical quality. Also, I suspect most of the people on this list have their own passions and projects - they are people like you, rather than people who enjoy shooting and editing and are waiting for someone to give then a monetizable framework to do it in support of someone else's passion. The niche is indeed where it's at, and you may have a workable idea here, but I would do some serious market research before not only embarking on a large scale project but involving other people with the promise of potential financial success. ___ Brook Hinton film/video/audio art www.brookhinton.com studio vlog/blog: www.brookhinton.com/temporalab [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Profit sharing for film crews
how many people are paying to view a video on the internet? even with micro payments. can't say I ever have. I don't know what all this is: World class disc dog events are held in every region of the country several times per year. The same can be said of agility and flyball tournaments as well as rally-obedience and dock diving maybe just start doing it see how it progresses? don't wait for others if you have a good idea. people will want to join in later when the momentum is high. good luck kath Well, have you found something that is your passion that is for sale? That's the key, and that's where people like me come in. Right now people only have access to their passion via purely user generated content. The model of online video has been one of user generated content. Fun Stuff. For more serious things like instruction and top of the line entertainment (iTunes) we pay, via iTunes, netflix or we get it at the video store. People pay for content all the time, just not our kind of content. There is a whole level in between that I believe, along with Steve Rosenbaum, that there is going to be a rise of specialized communities with local and online advertising partners that absolutely fill the niche. There's the key again. It's not broad spectrum. It's not raw numbers, it's the long tail of the 1000 true fans, and in the case of well developed communities, there are tens of thousands of true fans. Granted the true fan is not a fan for the personality or the artist, but for the activity that the community is built around. All you have to do is create a gathering place, bring in the right talent to draw attention from the community and if you do, should be able to deliver content to a passionate community. Again, 10 videos that do 100 hits each at $1 of profit per video is $1000. Make good content for a passionate large community and that goal should be a gimme. As far as not knowing what all of the dog sports are, they are that, dog sports, and there are tens of thousands of dog sports competitors across the country and we're friggin' crazy people. Really kind of strange for regular folk. Our lifeline to our sports is the internet. It's the only way we can see what's happening in our sport. There is a big difference between spectator video, which is what most everyone seems to generate, and professional video. So, professional video of Joe Schmoe from Philadelphia, PA is not going to sell, but pro video of this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae4nu_zmTeIfeature=channel_page I'm buying it, especially if it's good video. There are usually about 10 guys like this at every large regional event in Frisbee. Then of course there are usually about 20 minutes of really nice video that could easily be assembled from an event. 100 competitors, $5 for the video online? Not to mention the competitors who wanted to make it but missed it, and the wanna be or soon to be competitors hungry for knowledge. It should be fairly easy to sell 100 units at $1 profit for the project to take in $1000. The same could probably be done for agility, but in a different sense. There's a guy already doing this and he does make sales, but it's just him and he's only covering one event at a time. He's like me - dog trainer, web developer, videographer, editor, sales manager, graphic designer, small business owner. That's a lot of hats. Thinking about it, perhaps it is a bit specialized, but there should be plenty of events that the professional hobbyist would pay a few bucks to see and be a part of. As far as just doing it? No problem. I am. We should be ready to go in a month or so. I do need more content than I can generate by myself, and want a professional product to distinguish the professional part of our site (pay to play) from regular user generated stuff, although we will embrace and feature user generated media. It would be great to partner up with some people on this list and get some projects together. I really think it could pay the bills plus for a lot of people on this list if done right.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Profit sharing for film crews
2009/1/7 Ron Watson k9d...@mac.com: Well, have you found something that is your passion that is for sale? most of my passions don't make any money (wrt video) but I'm ok with that and they're not related to your project in any case maybe ask people on the dog lists - the true fans in your area as u mentioned? or if they don't make videos - have some training workshops and teach them first. Brook had some great advice. the idea would work. I know an ex-colleague did this in late 90s-current with AFL football videos on a website is making a great living out of it - granted he was a tv sports cameraman and knew all the teams players and advertisers could partner with the tv broadcaster too + go on o/s tours etc and do exclusive interviews etc for a subscription site that many people subscribe to. (I'm not a fan myself so don't pay for his videos). at the time he just hooked up with a web person to build the site. another of the station's weekly shows (produced externally but aligned with the station) did a similar site for weather, surfing fishing reports (video/text) special reports (as he's a leader in this field in his region - he's a known personality for past 30years or so on tv) in late 90s too is still going. best of luck with it. I'm sure you'll do well.
