Rant For No Reason
I spoke at the San Francisco Art Academy in conjuction with these fine folks.
I was very jaded that day for some reason..Felt empowered by the people I was speaking with, but kinda bummed about some other stuff.. The videoblogosphere is just a- jumpin' out of their seats at all that Hott Cash that will come pouring down the mountain. Just buckets of it, oozing up through their iSight cameras like Texas Tea. I'm gonna buy that sports car right now!!

money versusart/communication.
its the old argument.
i think we can keep a happy medium.
we just got to keep talking about it and being up front with each of our motives.
its going to get crazy.
...And we should make that happen!
You know we can.
Nice post. As for money, I tend to think that the best motivation for storytelling is the need to tell the story, not the need to get paid. And, ain't nothing wrong with making some cash from stories. If someone didn't want to make some cash off a story, I never would have seen bugs bunny. I'm with Jay. Keep it out in the open and it's OK. I don't think a person who vlogs for "free" is better or worse that someone who makes a buck off it. What they make might be better or worse, but I'll judge that on the work, not the paycheck.
I must say though, I think it's a good thing that the prime motiviation of those kids doesn't seem to be making a buck. When people start from the "Let's get paid" motivation before they start to come up with an idea, their product usually sucks.
let's do it, I hate beeing in Italy and not directly there to try to make that happen
better experience than mine.
I explained all this to a young film guy and within seconds he started yapping about money.
really dismissive of vlogs because of it too.
it may have just been his personality.
vlogging is like rap or skateboarding. you can do it for the love or for the money, and sometimes both.
damn - those media boxes are pretty freakin sexy.

Yes,
How intriguing life can be when we step back and look at the preconceptions we bring to the table every day.
So what did they ask about that surprised you?
