Far and few between right now, perhaps we will see more storytelling leveraging everything the format has to offer.
I am searching for storytellers, in any medium. As a viewer, I think ideas are more important to me personally than technical skill at this point.
I am playing with an episodic short format right now, and have a goal to complete such a project by Spring. From a distro standpoint, it would be a series of short vid (3-5 min range) released once per week over a few weeks and be over.
A fun variation on this would be something like the "one sentence story" version in video. Someone would make the starting video, and then anyone could add to it extending the story and taking it any direction...

this is the big question.
money....how can creators get paid.
but lets remember that we're dealing with several things here.
its not the mopst popular theory...but I say that 2 kinds of
videoblogs are popping up.
One kind is like mine: personal...like home video.
theres no format or regularly scheduled program.
I dont expect anyone to pay for it. hell, Im happy if my close friends watch it.
im documenting my life for the future.
another kind are these new "vidcasts" that Apple is hyping.
Rocketboom, DiggTV, tikibar, etc....
its a formatted show that comes our regularly.
they're higher quality shows that put out topical info that people may pay for.
so first you got to say...what videoblogs are people going to pay
for....then market those videos. there are several companies that are
tryiong to be the middle-man between independent "vidcasts" and
advertsiers/subscribers. (popcast, veoh, akimbo, revver.com)
all of these services make you upload your video to their servers...so
they can track all the info.
Apple may try to get onto this as well.
they are setting up the Apple Music store that lets you buy episodes
of lost for 1.99.
why not Digg TV?
I still like the distributed method...
correct me if im wrong...but homestarrunner, dailykos,
boingboing...all have figured out their own monetizing schemes.
they consistently made good content and slowly built up into strong
businesses by selling ad space and T-shirts.
like my Pop told me...do what you love and the money will follow.
that means you got to do it more than a week.
Like Rocketboom...I have no doubt that they will become financially
successful...because Andrew is not letting money stop him from
consistently creating a good show for almost a year now. he has worked
to create a distinctive style...and it will pay off.
money is just the details.
