What we’ve typically seen in the video production world is one of two scenarios.

The first is the traditional model which involves producers paying out money to all of the talent, and retaining 100% (or close to it) of the content ownership. There are buyers of talent and content, and there are sellers of talent and time.

The second scenario which we’ve seen take off in the last few years (thanks to America’s Funniest Home Videos and YouTube) is groups of friends and/or family coming together to collaborate on home made or amateurish productions.

A third scenario (Spidvid) now offers the ability for individuals from across the world to partner up with each other regardless of their backgrounds, talent, or locations. It’s kind of a hybrid model from the two above in that individuals remotely partner up together on production projects, share content ownership, leverage each other’s unique talents, and create quality video entertainment that may not fully rival high-budget projects but be 100x better than 99% of the crap created by friends and family.

We are working hard to create the Web’s open and collaborative video production ecosystem. Join us to empower a movement that challenges the status quo of traditional studios, and flips the video creation model on its head.

A lot of money is flowing into online video companies these days, mainly for advertising, distribution, and some new media studios are getting spun off from the larger Hollywood studios. The important area that’s being overlooked is the production model as for the most part it remains relatively closed, but thankfully collaboration is playing a larger and larger role for every production team.

Production has long taken place via closed studio silos, which has succeeded because studios had the assets, money to attract professional talent, and distribution partnerships to make the model work. But now as every day goes by quality video content is getting cheaper to create, distribution is available for free all over the web, and so the last part of the equation is money. We are seeing more and more creators raising money for their web series and short film projects through websites like KickStarter, and using Spidvid’s platform you can partner up with other like-minded talent to create the video entertainment you envision.  Studios like to control the production model, and keep 100% of the content ownership, but this model is starting to be disrupted as the landscape is evolving towards openness, collaboration, and new forms of partnerships.

I had the opportunity of joining Marc and Brett last week as a guest on their podcast “Web of Intrigue” and had a blast. We talked about Spidvid, open video production, new media, branded entertainment vs ads, and the online video space.

These guys are doing some big things in online video through their Fresh Baked Entertainment studio, and have a new web series (sponsored by VH) which is being very well received, see the trailer below for Life Unjarred.

If you are interested in the topics that we covered, want to hear what I had to say, and as a special bonus hear Marc and Brett pick on each other, then be sure to listen to the show below. If you have any comments be sure to include them below, or get in touch with an email or tweet us.

Thanks gentlemen, and thanks to their supporting cast Brendan and Kaylen for making this all possible!

Many individuals working in the video production industry typically get little or no ownership into the content they are involved with creating. Forming or joining a collaborative production team on Spidvid allows each individual to receive a large or small piece of the (content ownership) pie.
