Category:

Organizer:
Jim Skinner, Green Screen Cinema
Description:
CBS, Revision3, Smosh and Renetto all have an "economic and commercial" relationship with YouTube. They're getting paid. This track will look at how you too can get paid for your YouTube video. Will look at search ranking (inside YouTube and at the search sites), backlinking, advertising, production workflow (HDV focused).

While getting a rich production deal from a studio is the dream of most filmmakers, the incredible migration over to online video cannot be ignored. The biggest of the online video sites, YouTube, already has a mature partner program that pays the most viewed "partners" fat money. I'll go over how various filmmakers got to partner status and how fat their checks are. I'll also cover how your video can rise above the ranks (legally) and get the kind of traffic that is required for partner status.

If you'd like to know a little more about me, I'm a graduate of the USC School of Cinematic Arts and I've worked on the lots of Sony Pictures, Warner Bros., Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures. I know how unprepared these guys are for the coming digital revolution and I believe that YouTube is going to be the next big distribution mechanism (and that it will continue to take market share from linear networks, theatrical and home video).

If you're really interested in the subject and can't wait for SXSW you could read an analysis I posted on one of YouTube's rising stars here:
