1) The odds are beyond long. WAY BEYOND. What makes them different than a thousand others out there?
2) The web (at present and for the near to mid future) is simply incapable of supporting the production values of traditional media. This is not conjecture; it’s demonstrably true. People continue to pretend otherwise by constructing elaborate, nonsensical scenarios (mostly for the purpose of #6 below).
3) EVERYONE says, “OUR project will bring quality this, quality that, quality yadda yadda yadda….” Yeah, right. That goes out the door pretty quickly once the bills pile up.
4) The vast majority of players in this arena don’t have to make money (for now).
5) The majority of actors/creatives in this area want to use the web as a stepping stone to getting back into TV/film –some admit it, others only fess up privately.
6) Most web video destinations/entities are waiting for the big fish; either a media powerhouse to snag or a sucker who thinks they can roll the dice with more luck (and maybe hold out until their big fish comes along). They talk an anti-corporate game to get their street cred, but would sell their money pit in a split second to a major corporate entity.

If you’re not gonna call bullshit once in a while, you should at least get one or two pointed questions in. There are several instances in this interview where the team has clearly failed to think things through from a web video business perspective. They need to partner up with someone who’s got serious scars and some business acumen… now.

PLEASE. Edit these things down. Everyone will look better and the brevity will flatter you.

that said, fm78.tv gets it. we will be getting all our video and audio over the internet sometime soon. and the best part about this is the greater independence of the creators, from a fan perspective as well.

these are the kind of stories i love to see here, thank you.

sounds good but how do you do it with a fraction of the budget these guys are used to on network TV??

Goodbye.

It’s great to see actors helping themselves like this:
