We have put together a very quick rough demo of how video production professionals get value out of Spidvid.

Learn how to get an account, bid on production projects, join teams, where uploaded videos go, share credit and compensations with each member, and other various spid-bits.

Important things for professionals to know:

- During our private beta, all video content produced by collaborative teams is uploaded to UnleashVideo. When we roll out our public beta early next year 2010, we fully intend to have a broader distribution network including the likes of YouTube, and other large audience video sharing sites.

- First phase beta invites will be sent out later on this month (November 2009).

- Allocation of compensations for revenue sharing with team members is done by creators, and so is the uploading of all video content. In the future we want to make these processes more collaborative between all key members.

- Video advertising may not occur until we reach public beta, so don’t expect to earn and share cash right away with your team members.

- Suggestions for new features is very much welcomed. Just contact us with your ideas and feedback, and we will include them in our public beta.

We are very excited about working closely with the first few hundred members of our beta community. There’s a long journey to travel before we fully produce the new media ecosystem we envision, but look forward to all of the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.

Our developers have been in restore mode for this entire week as we encountered a fairly bad hacker attack last weekend.

We expect all functionality to be back to normal by early next week, and will resume our marketing and promotional activities at that time.

For all of the people who signed up for an invite to our private beta, we are sad to announce that we lost all of the email addresses in the database. So you will you need to visit our site, click “Sign Up”, and provide your email once again. We’re very sorry that this happened, and are making the necessary adjustments to reduce the risks for future attacks.

We are very much looking forward to all of the good times that lie ahead for Spidvid, and for the early community which joins our social movement.

The above illustration outlines the difference between a studio entity, and what we want to evolve into a diverse video creation ecosystem.

The idea here is that a new wave of individuals are starting to not only think about video production differently, but also what possibilities and opportunities exist outside of traditional employment.

Looking at eBay’s core, we understand that the most important aspect are the connections between buyers and sellers to create a products marketplace. Firmly believing in connecting like-minded people together is the key to future media and business models, Spidvid connects video creators with production professionals to form what should be a very refreshing alternative to the traditional studio approach.

To join us on this quest, visit our site, click “Sign Up” at the top, provide your email address, and we will be in touch shortly.
