Everyone needs to thing about video in their business model.When I decided to “gift” this list. I checked to ensure the sites were still valid. In researching I came acrossa site that  showed almost 2500 video startups with an average valuation of 3.9 million!  Among the existing platforms were video companies specializing in monetizing, discovering, curating, advertising and marketing.  editing, processing, streaming, conferencing, animating, storytelling. collaborating, presenting, teaching, telepresence, interviewing, crowdfunding, monitoring, lifeblogging,  gaming, discovering, analyzing, broadcasting, distribution and streaming – (live, on demand, real-time, asynchonous, interactive, simultcast…  across all niches and sub niches.

VIDEO In BUSINESS

I started looking at video  for the creative cottage industry in 2006/7 and was able to stream video footage when my brother wrote one of the first video plugins for Mambo (now Joomla).  I remember really being discouraged when a  colleague told me then,  that video would never  “sell fashion”. Yet in  Feb 2011  I spoke at the first TV Goes Social event. . In the summer of 2011 I turned on a Mac and streamed an in house fashion show live from a Brooklyn Boutique. That came only by exploring “live video”  with other artisans soince 200 8/9. It culminated in 2011 when I helped dancers hack (DanceHackit)  together a live simultcast, asynchonous (we learned the lingo)  Improv, bringing dancers from 4 “hubs”across US, Africa, and the Caribbean dancing to  one track streamed via Skype, live, in real time, to viewers across the globe. Today  there is still a lot to  do, the possibilities are only limited by your imagination..
We knew it  could be done… the  challenge then and now is not just developing an ecosytem to sustain the shift but helping our creative BELIEF there can  be leaders witin this sector and giving them the tools and support to  build out! Since 2011 my focus has been on exploring what was needed to develop various aspects of that ecosystem.

When I  started compiling this list a lot of the companies I was familiar with those  I met circa 2009-11 at various NY  industry meeting, conferences and meetups were out of  business. Not because there concepts were invalid but the ecosystem needed to support them  did not exist! Even today  you’d be surprised how many video ‘experts” have no idea of the scope and potential and with Android Tv set to be on TV sets by next year… well! 

Here are few of my  favorites that no longer exist! 

  • www.constellation.tv a virtual video cinema for indie films – scheduled life stream of indie films that  could have been be viewed virtually with frinds/audience across the globe. 
  • Www.VYou.com their video selfie platform  took you inside the creator’s space… 
  • www.Vokle.com live broadcasting  station think talk radio with video. 
  • www.turntable.com lifestreamed  concert  platform 
  • www.Shelby.tv Shelby TV took videos from across the web and organizes them based on the user’s preference
  •  We all can still benefit from these concepts.  So how do we make “potential” part of our culture. 

 

ADAPTING AND ADOPTING  technology in to your workflow. 

I am surpriesed how many, even video professionals are  NOT  AWARE of the inricacies and opportunities. Video is not just for marketing. it is one of our ESSENTIAL  digital communication tools

Our Fashiontech Openlab is really  a creative tech opportunity as we will explore the pros cons how to and impact of these technologies on our business models. Just in video alone the core basic types, one needs to simple grasp is the type of videos that can be created, be they;-

Interactive – #connected – #adaptive- #haptic (think – medical & sex industry ). As well as 

Review, Testimonial, Viral, Video blog. Experiential video (think creative/sensory videos)

Can the customer seethe info across all their devices and what is the workflow needed to achieve the desired result!

Apart from  “Making and Marketing” there is the hosting, encoding, transcoding. tracking, distributing. All before you  can consider :-  “is it worth the expense” or rather how can we realistically adopt new technologies.
