I wonder if you have taken into account all of the time and energy that goes into making a vid. Watching hours of footage, then capturing it, then editing it. What content do you know and enjoy well enough that you are willing to put in that time and energy?

I am not trying to put you down or discourage you, I am genuinely curious as to what you think you could make a vid out of and how you feel about the commitment you are making.

I think that your post is true and I hate when that black screen with white letters comes up. But I think you bring up another point that was part of the reading this week in regards to social network storydwelling. When Facebook (FB) stalking, which I never do eghhem, but I can comment on what I’ve heard. As you go through someone profile, browsing wall posts, albums, and links to things people share with them you start to create a narrative of this person’s online persona, which hopefully is like their offline persona. FB is a great example of a way to monetize this arena as well, as it has become highly successful with gaining an audience that advertisers and companies would love to divert users attention to their products.

Get at me, WEEZY BABAAYYY

I agree that Gossip Girl understands and molds its creative product to the tastes of a younger generation. I would take the knowing consumer discussion in paragraph 2 a bit further and add that many GG regular customers watch mainly to see what the characters are wearing. Some may watch in hopes of buying or manufacturing similar ware, while others gossip about this red dress or that mauve jacket to gain pleasure through consumerist interaction that does not involve actual spending, but instead spiritual, vicarious spending.

Go for it! What source material are you thinking of remixing? I’m always an advocate of anything trapped in the closet…

Amen. i like you’re point there. It’s like that jay-z line “you wrote a hot hook, i wrote a hot song” or something like that? please, correct me if i’m wrong…..!

….cause we just remixin here. But I think we’re arguing the same thing. Problem is my sarcasm has difficulty coming out in text. We can’t put a ceiling on intellectual property, doing so is artistic socialism (a phrase i borrowed from colbert). what i am saying is that there needs to be a rubric, a sense of order or at least some sort of across the board rules. this is for BOTH the joe six pack viders and the cigar smokin’ balding men at desks’ benefits.

Wow, that was pretty good Raj. I don’t know where to start. I think that saying this is artistic socialism isn’t the necessary way to approach this new medium of sharing. Since we have seen that Op-Ed’s or video sharing has occurred throughout the ages and now it is only a ‘problem’ because of accessibility and dissemination. Just because we can all easily see what one could have labored over for hours making a vid and see it instantly do networks get all up in arms. I think that if people are making good material and not getting paid for it than the people at the networks better make better pieces of work or be fired because they’re getting replaced by the dude that can make better pieces than him. Let’s be real television is made up of remixes and if people can make money off of doing these nifty videos or do it for fun that be and let be.

Don’t be made because you made a hot show and I made it hotter!
