[Coworking] Re: Quick question from a newbie...video co-working?

[Barbara Sprenger]

Hi Drew,
We have two centers that are Cowork and Digital Media Centers. They are 
partnerships with public access television and have studios, green screens, 
high bandwidth, equipment for people to check out (really good equipment!), 
classes, etc. These are great partnerships, because the capital costs are 
funded by the public/non-profit entity. Our software enables reservation 
tracking for all the equipment and studio, along with the regular money and 
plans tracking and communication. Happy to talk to you about it.

The Articulate in Fort Collins, CO is very focused on digital creatives. 
They have a large infinite wall in a warehouse for photo/video 
shoots. http://www.thearticulateco.com/

I am so interested on starting something like this.  I know I am years late 
to this conversation, but I would like to start a video coworking space 
here.

I wonder if you have had any luck with this? and if you have some advice 
for me.

Thanks!

Sheyla

[Coworking] Re: Quick question from a newbie...video co-working?

[Alex Hillman]

Sorry its taken me a few days to chime in here, but Darrell is right (and
thanks for putting me on the hook publicly).

I've been talking about a video/media production studio set up with
coworking methodology and core values at the core of it. As you can see from
our stats that I posted in another thread, we've got a couple of media heads
here but its a small ratio. Its not for lack of interest or trying, we're
friendly with and supportive of a lot of the independent media producers in
the area. However, many of them really rely on equipment or rigs that aren't
super mobile - a mac pro is a bitch to tear down and move around the city!

Also, the value proposition for collaboration isn't as strong when there
isn't a certain mix, I think. What I'd ultimately love to create (and we're
a couple of steps closer today than we were even a couple of weeks ago) is a
space designed for and by some of the media creators in our community. Based
on conversations I've already had, the selling point isn't desks, it's
access to otherwise prohibitively expensive equipment. While the liability
of renting several thousand dollar cameras, etc, isn't something I'm stoked
about taking on, I think that some creative and enterprising models could be
created around that part of the model.

Furthermore, the inevitable coworking collaboration for video/media in
particular is really exciting to me. A seemingly singular process has so
many steps to it, and so many opportunities for specialization. Someone
likes to write but not shoot. Someone likes to shoot but not direct. Someone
likes to direct but not edit. You get the picture.

Finally, I've spoken with some folks who currently have opened and operate
medium-range budget production studios and after hearing the model I've
proposed, say duh...if I could do it all over again, I'd do it that way.

If anyone is particularly interested in the media/producion version of
coworking, perhaps we can host a chat about it in coming weeks.

Hi John,
My French teacher would be proud-- the word sans means without, as in
they did it without a business plan :-)

Are you looking to use your business plan to attract investors, determine if
the business is viable, or both? What else are you doing to ascertain
community needs?

Best,
Tony Bacigalupo

 Thanks everyone!
   Much appreciated, I explored 3rd Ward and the others... 3rd Ward
 was especially amazing, especially sans official Business plans. :)
 The sites suggested sites were perfect.
  My next step is exploring funding options, to see which way to go as
 I create my business plans.
 Thanks again for everything. I'll keep you posted as I progress.

[Coworking] Re: Quick question from a newbie...video co-working?

[John Spence]

Thanks for the reply.

 

It is really all of the above.  I am including a coffee house and that part
is done.  Coworking is so new, the bp needs to include a reason why an
investor or banker would help fund it.  A sales pitch really.  Statistics,
surveys, getting members, pricing, anything really.

The original one we were part of setting up, The Hat Factory, definitely is.
And I believe Blankspaces in LA has quite of few people in this area. Good

Uptime has a fully-equipped multimedia production suite.  Our hope is
to attract new media producers who will use this resource
collaboratively, and ultimately establish an industry cluster here in
Chico.  We're planning to webcast video live from our upcoming execdev
event this coming Thursday.  The pilot will likely be hosted on
ustream, although going forward we may find carriage services we can
embed/brand on our web properties.  For more about our upcoming
program, please visit,
