This is the investigation, analysis, and dissection of the top youtube content providers defined by those with the most subscribers.
http://www.indietalk.com/showthread.php?t=44191

The intent is that by understanding what elements go into the concept, design, execution, and promotion of market valued content that we ourselves may adopt some of these practices in developing our own content.

Why would we want to do that?
Why would we even care?

For my own reason -
From the light research I've conducted in crowdsourcing at the beginning of the filmmaking process and the marketing and promotion of the completed film products the key is to come to the table having already cultivated a following.
> Cold calling for fi$cal attention is grossly ineffective.
> Bring an interested crowd to your crowdsourcing campaign.
> Bring an interested crowd to marketing and promoting your finished film.


I would like to see some of the reasons others here at IT are interested in top youtube content providers.
Zen Steve?
Lucky Hardwood?
Icba Pictures?
Paul Griffith?
Any one else?

Agreed, there must be clearly defined roles. As far as actors go, I have contacts in both Chicago and Nebraska. Currently, they are all doing either extra work (Chicago), or working day jobs on the outskirts of the industry (Nebraska).

The comedy series will be using the Chicago crew. Most of them are working improv, stand stand up, or sketch. At least two of them are on the Extra circuit, having been in Boss, Chicago Fire, and Formerly the Playboy club. They want exposure.

In Nebraska, I have theater actors, and people with short film experience.


As far as organization and structure. Let's get a definitive list of ALL the initial players and what content they will be bring to their individual channels.



I can do bi-weekly Action with a 13 episode Arc. Each bi-weekly episode will be less than 5 minutes, but more than 3.

I also have green screen and a small basement studio that can be used for a 10 minute Bi-Weekly review show.

I'm quite patient. I'd rather take the time to set things up right and have a clear and concise plan in mind to make it a success. Rushing and pushing to do something fast on the risk of losing something or someone is typically a bad idea. If you're going to lose someone which would force you on a time table clearly too small to make it work well, is a recipe for disaster. I only like to move fast when I see an opportunity and have a winning plan to take advantage of that opportunity. It doesn't have to be a perfect plan, a decent plan with a decent chance of success.

To be successful, it's going to take a lot of work from everyone, and I'd rather be fairly sure we're paddling in the right direction, rather than buying a ticket on the Titanic.

I also value and prefer balanced teams. I'm not even close to the point where I think we have even half of what we need to make this work. In my opinion, we need a clear "Captain of the ship" or at a minimum, clear people in charge of the specific important areas. If that makes sense? I'm not talking about only people who agree with me either. I also value smart people with opposite opinions too.

There's a TV show floating around at the moment. Viral Video Showdown. It's a reality style show that pegs groups against each other to make a video to go viral within a particular time table. I've only seen a few episodes so far (for some more to watch, maybe tomorrow) and you'll see the kind of groups that dominate the youtube space. They've got teams that cover most areas. Writing, acting, camera, directing, producing, editing, sfx etc. The teams lack a marketer, but for this show, they don't need (or even want) one.

Unless we've decided to do animation, we're going to need actors. AFAIK none are in this thread. Does anyone have decent access to (preferably free) actors? I currently don't have anyone who I'd be confident to be able to rely upon. On top of that, most actors (or other key people needed to make videos) would get mighty pissed off if they're working for free without a slice of the action.

Locality can also become an issue. Most of us are spread across the universe. It's going to make it difficult to pull off with that issue.

I'm definitely in, but don't rush it. I'm not interested in something that I see will become a sinking ship, and rushing in is going to be a fast track for that to happen.

Also, what roles is everyone interested in? Personally for me: Marketing, Producing (organizing), Editing would be my strengths. Writing second drafts is something I'm ok at and I'm trying to get motivated to learn sfx software with a keen interest in compositing, while I'm a fast learner when motivated I'll be green for a little while.

Everyone else? Roles?



I'm not but I'm sure I can figure them out ;)

I'm going to have to nix the automotive content channel because I do not want to appear on screen as myself due to employment reasons. One of my two primary contributions will be a show with a stripper that talks about what's current and trending. She will also do interviews with content providers and I may have her take on a series of demographic driven events. The other is me in a costume doing firearms, prepping, outdoors, and manly tutorials. I'll also be doing interesting things with weapons and preaching the gospel of personal responsibility. I will have a conspiracy theory segment with my younger brother who is (unfortunately) very active in the conspiracy community. The first show capitalizes on the demographics of adolescents and perverts. Those are two huge populations on the web. The second show appeals to the demographic of firearms enthusiasts, preppers and conspiracy nuts. This is also a very large group of online consumers.

Yeah, this unnamed group project isn't ready to come out of the oven just yet, but the more than casual interest is clearly present.
Frankly I'm surprised at the intensity of interest.
Seems I pricked a boil ready to pop.


I've been looking at business organizational material throughout the day to find one that I feel best suits this still coalescing group and the one that consistantly strikes me the most appropriate is organization by funtion, especially the non-profit organization lead by a board of directors rather than a single executive director.

More and hopefully better examples to follow:
http://www.tutor2u.net/business/organisation/structures_intro.htm

organisation_function.gif


Because my primary interest is for each of us to LEARN how to develop our own content I think it's important that individuals in different roles share what they are doing with the whole body of the collective group, rather than working in a hole where everyone becomes an expert at becoming one trick pony specialists.
Thus - the preference for the BOD organization by function model.

I'd be interested in the HR aspect: orientation, training/coaching to group standards, QC sort of stuff.


First - Welcome aboard, Pepper Jack! :yes:

I mean if you were to work together wouldn't it pretty much be limited to things you can do across the web. Almost always. I imagine there will be very few fellow ITers meeting to produce on a regular basis.

Everyone would essentially have to have their own production going on. Almost. In addition to producing your own show or shows of content many of us will be pulling double duty managing different aspects to the group project, sometimes multiple roles. Not only will there be the central youtube channel(s) but also a central blog or webpage + other social media venues.

Then the marketing aspects would be the whole group working together to promote the content. Exactly. What we learn for marketing for the group trickles down to each of us on our own channels.

To me it seems the hardest thing is getting out constant content. I was thinking that too, until Sweetie educated me otherwise.

So when you have a combination of 10 different production groups working together, even though you won't all be posting onto the same channel, it will still give easy content, that you don't really have to think about to make, to the main hub. Five bucks says you're almost right. There will probably be a lot of chaos and pandemonium going on behind the restaurant's doors to the kitchen where the customers don't get to see what goes on.

I also already have a website with a blog up. Fantastic! You're ahead of some of us.

I got the twitter and facebook and all that crap for my channel. I'll be setting that up myself fro my own channel this coming week!

My stuff isn't great and doesn't have a ton of followers but I can help set one up at least or if anything my blog posts can help add to the content of the main site maybe. Fine, but that's why we're all here working on this together

I could start writing about your guys stuff. I'm game.

I mean even though I basically have 0 following right now. Which is where everybody begins. We're here to learn to develop what we DON'T have, not develop what we've already mastered.

I like where you guys are going with this and I'd like to be a part of it, if it's available. Throw your hat in. There's plenty of room at the table.

And as I said in my last post I am going to try and get content out every week. For example just yesterday I released my first stock video pack. It isn't really anything special but ykno it's something to put on the channel and a reason for people to possibly find my website. Excellent. Something is better than pie-in-the-sky plans.
What's better, a sh!t cr@p terrible film or a wonderful screenplay collecting digital dust on someone's hard drive?
You're already ahead of most.

I am going to try and keep an eye on this thread and post here a bit more so I don't have to read 2 pages every time to catch up. Please do. Otherwise I'm jut going to have to come harrass you to join later, anyways. :)

Social media stats:

My own experience shows that FB references to a (web) site leads all others combined. Twitter is next. Reddit is potentially huge, even out performing Facebook on some days, BUT they absolutely hate spam, blog spam especially. You'll have to figure a way around it. Google+ is so-so, down there with tumblr, but worthy of your time. Stumbleupon is below that. Digg has declined considerable. Everyone else is even further down, and may not be worthy of your time in the beginning.

A blog is absolutely necessary. The internet and google loves blogs. post a link to your daily blog on the many groups in FB you belong to is a great way to get attention out of the gate.

Carry on!

Spot on.


So any ideas on names for the group? I can lock up a domain if we have any suggestions.


I would also suggest we clearly define a set of goals for the site that we all agree on. A basic mission statement.

Something like, and hopefully much better than, this:

Serve as a platform for content creators to showcase their work, find their audience, and improve their craft.



What are the roles that we need to cover?

  • Board of directors / overall management
  • Technical / Site Management
  • Marketing
  • Community Management
  • ????

Who is interested in what?

I imagine that this will generally break down into a small group of people managing it with a larger community of just participants.

If you dare to consider making regular content you know where we are. :)
Thank you for the five star rating!
I try to identify potentially useful avenues of research - and share them!
Yeah, running all four of those threads followed by the state film tax credit/rebate investigation was a bit of work. Whew!

Fellowship of the Filmmakers!
NEW! --> Filmmakers Network
Nah, I really don't know how you guys feel about doing this.
Option A is to create a name which consumers will identify with - The prefereable option.
Option B is to create a name which identifies us by our affiliation as filmmakers, which has more and more drawbacks the more I think about it.

I would also suggest we clearly define a set of goals for the site that we all agree on. A basic mission statement. I'll start investigating mission statements and vision statements, parade the results here, and see what you guys wanna nudge individual items one way or another.

Something like, and hopefully much better than, this:

Serve as a platform for content creators to showcase their work, find their audience, and improve their craft. Yep. Those sort of goals

What are the roles that we need to cover?

  • Board of directors / overall management
  • Technical / Site Management
  • Marketing
  • Community Management
  • ????


  • Content/Production management/organization
  • Talent scouting for expansion beyond our kernel of ITers
  • Finance - We gotta figure out what we're going to do with any ad revenue from the operation of the central YT site + web page/blog site. (Proper thing to do is figure a little kickback to the people that brought us to the dance: IndieTalk.com.)
  • Research & Development - data collection and analysis of individual and group metrics along with cultural trends by region + revenue. (Commercial art and fine art ain't the same thing. Headzup: I'm shoving for commercial art d@mn near every time.)
  • Purchasing? Does the central channel or web/blog site have a need for any purchasing? Paid advertising, maybe?
  • NEW! --> Merchandising - Someone needs to travel across everyone's individual channels looking for and suggesting ways to turn film and music content into merchandising opportunities.

ALSO: We need to identify similar roles for the central web/blog page SEPARATE, but match-step coordinating with, from the YT channel.
Thus, there are plenty of positions to go around for credit and experience.
I really want to make these professional, credit worthy roles. No token anything.


Who is interested in what? As stated above, I'm interested in the HR part, screening candidates, orienting new members, training and education, etc functions.

I'll likely get the ball rolling for the R&D part and be looking for someone to apprentice on that to hand it off to, but if someone else wants it - great.

And I nominate Lucky Hardwood and Sweetie to BOD positions.

I imagine that this will generally break down into a small group of people managing it with a larger community of just participants. Definitely.
To carry it a step further, in keeping with my personal group project goal, is to create an active apprenticeship in each department.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're all going to learn more and more about the other departments, but handing off responsibility to another is a step above just learning.
Furthermore, it creates ongoing opportinity for new participants to have an item on a resume for experience.
I really don't want to see anyone getting entrenched in a position in perpetuity.

Finance - If there are any earnings from advertising on the main site - it goes to cover base expenses (site costs, lucky / main show content makers, etc) and then I think it should almost act as seed money for other projects - almost like a grant? That could be for great sites like IT or a community member project, etc. Make the main site / channel a non-profit venture to help get people moving in the right direction. I don't think there will be any significant funds in the near future to have to disperse, but defining the purpose now is the right idea.


I actually really like Fellowship of the Filmmakers or Fellowship of the Filming. Campy but spot on.

The name of the group will be a minor thing from an audience attraction standpoint compared to everything else that has to happen in that space. What it will do is attract content creators to seek out the site.

I was thinking this would start out using a FREE blogging service, like google's blogger, which has nice youtube+blogger cross advertising capabilities.
Later, when the consumer demands warrant it, goto a legit webpage requiring site costs.
What are "content markers?"

That's a really nice idea.
Annually or semi-annually a % accumulated is awarded to a peer-reviewed project proposal among competing members. Nice!

Yeah, this is where my heart is, too.

Because the purpose of the ENTIRE project is for each of us to be incentivized to develop our own individual revenue generating channels and blogs the centralized channel&blog forms a clearing house distribution hub directing attention TO individual channels&blogs.

Neither the central channel nor central blog should be a regular consumer's terminal destination.
No, no, no. Not good. Not good.
Think airport or train station. Not Disneyland/Times Square/Las Vegas.

As such, operating it with a non-profit approach (net gains are reinvested into growth [FYI: non-profit DOES NOT mean "no profit") continually shunts attention elsewhere; ideally the channels&blogs of the group/network/fellowship.

Yes.
If it becomes a way to make money in of itself it will no longer serve its purpose of spreading views over everyone's content, very good point and I agree entirely.
The idea for a grant is a nice one but I don't think it will create healthy competition because people will take it too personally. Either no money, or all shared, I think are the best options.

As for what I can do on the main channel, I can write a couple of tracks that play behind the review show if needed, an intro too. That's something I'm willing to do since it benefits everyone.

As for a name, "Filmmaker's Network" doesn't cover enough ground. I named my channel "MetalRenardMusic" and I regret adding "Music" on the end now. Because of having that on there I'm doomed to only having music content when I'd be more than happy to provide a larger range of videos. Of course I can very well upload different content since the main focus will remain my music, but all the same, a name like "filmmaker's network" will severely limit your market and options.

I propose something with the word "Creative" or similar in it. You can then put in the description more detailed information.
Personally I've only scored a handful of films/videos, I mostly deal with game music, so you'd be excluding my audience from the very beginning and I have the largest number of followers (as far as I know) in the group at the moment.
Not a great move...

While you guys are hammering out the specfics of how everything will work, I think I will put together a basic idea of what type of content and operational duties each of us could possibly have.

So far there have been 12 indietalk members mentioned for possible content or involvement in some fashion. They are (in No specific order):

Rayw, Zensteve, PaulGriffith, Mckinise, Miken, Sweetie, Lucky Hardwood, MetalRenard, icba pictures, GuerrillaAngel, JoshL, pepper jack

Below I am including the following four categories:

Group Channel Role: Official title/duties (TBD)
Group Channel Show: What show/Shows will you be bringing to the Collective?
Single Channel Show: What shows will you be bringing to your single Channel?
Operational Impact: What skills can you provide the group?

Oh, am I am throwing a couple names out there: Film Artistry Collective and Filmcredible
The URLs are open, and the youtube names are open.

Group Channel Role: TBD
Group Channel Show: 10 minute bi-weekly review/promotional show
Single Channel Show: Bi-weekly Action Adventure
Operational Impact: SEO, Marketing, Content Management, Organization and Management

Oh, and I have the ability to get us a small facebook like social network going to use as the main website, complete with blogging and film uploads.

Understood, MetalRenard.
"Filmmakers" in the name definitely does limit, if not outright discriminates to little benefit, the range of content both provided and searched for by others.

I like both "Creative" and "Collective", but we wouldn't want to use those together:

Also a title that has a cool abbreviation would be nice. "Ministry of Mastery" is a bad one for example, because it becomes "MOM". hahaha
"Graceful Gang" on the other hand becomes "GG" which is a good one.

True.
Meaning "Aggregated Artists" (AA) is a no-go, and names such a "Bright Mob" (BM), "Productive Union" (PU), and "Fantastic Marvelous Leadership" (FML) are probably also not the best.

How about "League of Member Artists Organization"?! :lol:

I was thinking this would start out using a FREE blogging service, like google's blogger, which has nice youtube+blogger cross advertising capabilities.
Later, when the consumer demands warrant it, goto a legit webpage requiring site costs.
What are "content markers?"

Content Makers of the main show. So if Lucky is the one making the main news review show, some of the revenue generated should go there.


We could just all agree that we won't serve ads on the main channel or blog.
