Interesting ideas, Tim. I don’t think the Vince McMahon distribution method can translate online just yet, but I’d be interested to see someone try.

It would be great to know how many ‘Date My Avatar’ (http://news.tubefilter.tv/2009.....s-youtube/) downloads The Guild sold. And what if they would’ve made the video only available for a price? Would those 5.5. million views on YouTube translate into enough paying audience members to fund a few episodes? Or a whole season?

I’m also not sure if comic books or card games can fund a web series, but maybe things like sewing machines can (http://news.tubefilter.tv/2008.....e-ships/).

Looks like transmedia is going to play a big role in entertainment moving forward. I think the interesting thing will be seeing which media buckets work best to promote and increase sales of other content.

Right now we are giving away a lot of video for free but where is the line drawn?

Producing and distributing a digital graphic novel is a hell of a lot cheaper than creating a weekly web series but can you sell enough PDFs to finance your online video extravaganza? I don’t think you can yet. I am curious if you could create a low cost weekly show – say a video blog – that would be given away for free to build an audience a promote a pay-per-view video.

Could we use the Professional Wrestling model of creating an audience around a free story then building to a pay-per-view climax? I think we are close. We just need a break through web video hit that becomes a household word.
