I filmed the below video on Easter long weekend but didn’t get around to editing it until just recently. For some people the video is a bit distorted, while others see it fine. If the quality isn’t so good for you I apologize but please listen closely to the messages I have for all of the passionate entrepreneurs out there.

I use Mark Zuckerberg who is the founder of Facebook as an example of an unexpected entrepreneur, and an accidental billionaire. Follow your passion, be remarkable, and leave your imprint on the world.

I hope you enjoy the video, and have a fun and exciting weekend.

Is your perspective for creating videos the same strategy as it was last month, last year, or even last decade? If your answer to this question is a resounding yes then perhaps it’s time to start thinking about how you can improve your video production and content quality.

If you want to succeed in today’s video production world, you have to think about how you can partner with members on your team, rather than just getting paid or paying out for talent. Who will do a better job, an individual who you just pay money to, or an individual who takes less money (or even nothing at all) but in exchange gets a piece of ownership in the video or film? I think the answer should be pretty obvious.

I have recently started to reach out to creators who film quality video entertainment to let them know how connecting with others in our community can benefit their future projects, as well as their past projects begging for more attention. At first these creators think that our platform is yet another distribution channel for their content, but then realize it’s as much about building personal reputation as it is about getting more people to view their work.

What’s happening here I believe, is that there is both excitement and panic amongst creators, filmmakers, producers, and actors where they are just trying to keep up with the rapidly evolving production space. Video production as usual is no longer with all the social tools and technologies that promise to disrupt both the actual process, and the business model as well.

I’m sure that lots of people are happy with collecting their normal (and safe) paycheck for their services and time offered, but for the entrepreneurial individuals who want more than just money out of the content they help to create, that’s the type of person who will really respect what we’re trying to accomplish with Spidvid.

The Internet has forever changed how everyone communicates on a global level. Email revolutionized communication, but we have come a long way to evolve with real-time interactions such as instant messaging, tweeting, waving, status updating, live video, and numerous other ways. YouTube, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn and many other social sharing sites have contributed one way or another to make everyone more accessible while virtually eliminate our privacy. Love it or hate it this is just the beginning of what we can expect from the ever evolving social web.

We now not only just consume media content but participate in it as well to help shape it from a consumption standpoint, and influence what the creator produces in the future. This explains why TV, magazines, and radio are facing real challenges as they continue their focus on broadcasting or pushing content out rather then engaging their viewers, readers, and listeners to pull ideas and content from them.

The film and video production industry is now starting to realize the potential of this new social movement, leading to some very good quality yet low-cost online video entertainment. The ability for talent to connect to form collaborative production teams, is not only speeding up the overall process but vastly improving it as well. Production teams don’t have to be all located in one central location anymore, a team can consist with members located across the planet which is exceptionally beneficial for creators in remote areas or small towns. So even if you live in Grand Bend, Ontario, Canada with a population of just 2,000 people it’s possible to collaborate with talent located in Hollywood, or even far east in Bollywood.

Our dream for Spidvid is to have thousands of individuals producing video content together which wouldn’t have otherwise been produced. By leveraging our platform, there is now a simple solution to make that possible and then some. This is still a very new concept so our challenge now to make this a reality is to educate people through content, email, social media, face to face contact and whatever else it takes for anyone who’s interested to truly “get” how special things can be for video production.

We aren’t saying to completely change how you currently produce videos, but haven’t you wondered how talent outside of your city, personal network, or Craigslist could benefit your projects and content? If you are even slightly interested you should get yourself a Spidvid account so it’s ready whenever you, or someone else who wants to collaborate and add you to their team is.
