Gootube is the most popular video sharing site, so indie filmmakers flock it to it in droves. I ‘ve seen a couple of good shows on it, one is Ask A Ninja, the other is Chad Vader.
Now comes a service that could enable video content creators to monetize their shows. (I know Revver is allowing you to put ads but it’s not dynamic as far as I can tell.) Here’s the summary:
Just like how Google inserts dynamic ads into a web page, BrightRoll does all of the dirty work for inserting ads into video. The video publishers (that’s you) determines if they want the more lucrative (and more annoying) pre-roll/mid-roll or post-roll ad placement. The service doesn’t care what format you use whether Windows Media, Quicktime, or Flash though you will have to fill out a W-9 before participating.
You can read the press release for more details. It’s apparent it’s for US-based filmmakers though (that W-9 form goes to the IRS).
Revver’s ads are dynamically served inside of web postings and podcasts.
FYI…
Thanks Revilo. It makes sense come to think about it
