Mogulus: Live Broadcast

Mogulus has one of the best concepts I've seen so far in broadcasting video over the internet, think YouTube only with better, more professional content. Anyone can launch a channel on their website is the great thing about it. To do that, it offers two memberships: free and pro. Plus, for people who like what they see on their website, they have a great selection of jobs. Below is a quote for their website on what they are all about.

"Mogulus is the most powerful live broadcast platform on the internet. Producers can use the Mogulus browser-based Studio application to create LIVE, scheduled and on-demand internet television to broadcast anywhere on the web through a single player widget. Our service comes in two flavors Free (ad-supported) and Pro (white-label, no-ads, pay for usage). Unique features include the ability to mix multiple live cameras, imported videos clips, and overlay graphics.
With Mogulus, producers can broadcast live from a mobile phone; use a customizable flash player with integrated chat; and develop a branded channel page on Mogulus.com that incorporates interactive chat."

The Suso Project is a Stroke of Pure Genius!

The Suso Project is one of the most exciting things that I've learned about in a long time. Months ago I was checking out blogs and I came across a mention of Suso in a post and it was so interesting I had to check out their site. They basically create a forum for people to ask for help and offer help with projects that need launching, it provides such a great opportunity to collaborate with like-minded creative people. Suso Project allows a person to post their project and call for collaborators. Very simple, very easy. Bringing people together to collaborate is not a new concept but the way they do it is very novel, exciting and fresh. Below is an excerpt from Suso's website, they sum up beautifully what they are about. Pure genius, enjoy!
"The SUSO Project is the result of a simple idea: Bring creative and determined people together to create something amazing. People with unlimited imaginations and skills who come from everywhere, making the project's collective thinking uniquely global. Basically, we want to create a social network for thinkers and doers.
The dream is to grow The SUSO Project into a creative network where the user’s imagination, creativity and knowledge is multiplied through collaboration with others. We want it to be a place where a variety of creative skills and passions can collide to make 'stuff' happen."

Become An Expert on MonkeySee.com and Host Your Own Internet Show

MonkeySee.com not only gives filmmakers a chance to practice their craft, it also has opportunities for budding TV show hosts as well. They call these "experts" and they have two levels of expert status. One is a basic expert, who may upload their videos made at home and showcase their business or hobby and they can be amateurs. The second level is featured expert, these people produce professional quality videos and receive premium placement of their videos. An account and upload capabilities are free for both levels. Both are unpaid.

MonkeySee.com Filmmaker Program

There's an interesting website called http://www.monkeysee.com/. It has a vast How-To video library that is completely free to view. Topics range from careers and education to health and fitness. All the videos that are on the site are independently produced for the experts that appear in them. It allows people with a film production background to create videos with a nice pay rate per project. The pay ranges from $200-$500 for simple video creations and up to $2,000 for more complex videos. In this poor economy, this site can offer opportunities to earn a little pocket change or a serous income for highly motivated videographers. Aside from earning money from the videos, a filmmaker would also be able to build their professional network as they work with all sorts of different experts, which may even lead to a full-time job for the lucky ones.

Welcome to Comm Creatives Blog

The Comm Creatives Blog is an online career guide for people who are just starting out in the communication arts field. It was created as a guided project for a graduate level course that I am taking while still an undergrad in New York Institute of Technology’s Communication Arts program. It was started in early January 2009 as the spring semester gets underway.

The blog will feature emerging talent in the field and highlight the unique problems they face and the opportunities they have. The goal of the blog is to build a career information resource to provide communication arts students and recent grads with career information straight from the young professionals in the field as they are beginning their careers and creating the news and innovations that will change the field.

When the semester is finished, it is my hope to continue the blog and eventually become a trusted source for communication arts career information and industry resources.
