The Future is On Demand

            Many of the blogs that I have written have talked about live streaming video over the Internet.  This is something that is still on the leading edge of Internet video.  YouTube has finally developed platforms that allow producers to stream video live.  What should excite everyone is where this technology will lead us.

            There aren’t many live stream service providers out there.  Most web video hosting platforms like bright cove and others are way too expensive for the average person.  But the time is right for the professional video content producers of every level to stream to their hearts desire.  The few platforms out there are starting to make a connection with TV manufacturers. 

The SMART TV’s are making it possible for television owners to view these live streams on their TV sets.  This is breaking the rules of the old traditional broadcasting model used since the 1950’s where only a few companies could afford to broadcast programming to massive audiences.

Many of the LSSP’s also offer the ability to save recordings of the live projects allowing viewer to view the streams at their leisure.  This is fantastic.  The great content created by independent producers is available for the masses to view on their television sets when they have time to view it.  This technology can only get better over time.  Many producers will fall short on the audiences they reach.  A select few will capitalize on their streams and make decent money, but everyone who sticks with it will find what works and goes after it with passion. 

This blog is designed for those aspiring producers who have the passion and energy to do the work that will get their projects out there.  There are plenty of resources out there for you.
