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.
