Not sure if the just announced YouTube video awards means more that some nice buzz, but the reality is that YouTube is changing. It is becoming a platform for serious content producers who have been leery of the site in the past.
The new channel strategy, where a producer can organize clips in one area, is gaining increased interest. We spoke with Brad Inman, who heads he Emeryville-based TurnHere. TurnHere is a sort on Internet film studio that draws on a group of talented independent vidoegraphers to make videos on all sorts of subjects — mostly travel at this point. The company is privately funded with a recent investment by William Randolph Hearst III.
Brad’s very enthusiastic about his company’s YouTube channel.
In this interview, he speaks with my colleague David Kavanaugh, a very talented young videographer who shoots and edits much of Beet.TV’s snazzy videos.
By the way, Beet.TV has a channel on YouTube too. I suppose we should apply for a YouTube Award?
