Note: this one is graphic intense and takes a while to load, but the result is crazy!
Editor’s note: This is the fourth in a series of posts by guest writer Ashkan Karbasfrooshan
.Previously, he wrote about the State of Online Video, 12 Surprising Things Holding Back Online Video Advertising, and Context is King: How Videos Are Found And Consumed Online. In part 4 today, he examines where he thinks the sweet spot is for making money in onljne video. Karbasfrooshan is the founder and CEO of WatchMojo.
In Search of Profits
Ten years ago, web companies didn’t generate much revenue. These days, web companies are some of the most profitable around. Online video is where the Web was ten years ago: in investment mode as video companies that are generating high revenue are not necessarily the most profitable.
Are those companies suffering low margins because they’re investing in the future or are they fundamentally lower-margin businesses?
Ad Networks Are Low Margin Businesses
This week, video ad network Brightroll raised $10 million from Scale Venture Partners. Ad networks aggregate audiences and sell ads to marketers, sharing the proceeds with publishers/producers. Scale’s Rob Theis’ argues: “the most strategic Internet investments are those that compete not with other Internet businesses, but with the much larger amount of money still being spent offline.”
Brightroll’s CEO Tod Sacerdoti added: “I think by this time next year the majority of the top five to ten video properties by any measure will be aggregator networks. The best example for this is display advertising.” Indeed, networks have an unmatched ability to scale but can also crash to the ground awfully fast.
The low margin is the least of their problems; differentiation and defensibility are. Blue Lithium and Right Media hit jackpots by selling to Yahoo! But those who didn’t sell (Tribal Fusion, Valueclick) suddenly found themselves under pressure from search advertising on performance and video on branding.
Content Networks Have Little Differentiation
Similarly, aggregators gather videos from content providers, sharing ad revenues. iFilm (sold to Viacom, renamed Spike), Guba, Grouper (sold to SONY, renamed Crackle), Revver, YouTube (sold to Google), Veoh, DailyMotion, Metacafe, Viddler, blip.tv, are all vying for content, audiences and dollars.
YouTube is master of this domain. Hulu is giving YouTube a run for its money, but the business model is anything but certain and its long term exit strategy is murky (Disney, News Corp. and NBC Universal/Comcast are shareholders but also competitors).
Ultimately, ad and content networks operate in a high-risk, winner-take-all game. For publishers, it’s a lower risk world. Consider the two acquisitions News Corp. made in 2005: Rupert Murdoch paid more for IGN ($650M) than for MySpace ($580 million), but MySpace’s subsequent growth made him look like a genius (for a while). Today, MySpace is searching for its raison d’etre while IGN treks along as an unstoppable force in its sphere.
The Myth of Hyper Distribution?
In online video, producers are agnostic to distribution channel or platform. To reduce risk, they diversify distribution, but the jury’s out on whether hyper distribution bears fruit. Hyper distribution refers to syndicating one’s content as broadly as possible with little or no restrictions.
When it comes to generating revenues, is hyper-distribution wise? Not according to Chris Pirillo, a prosumer video producer who leverages video to promote his empire but only counts YouTube as a commercial platform: “YouTube offers the largest audiences and generates most the revenue. If you’re not YouTube, you have challenges in creating value for content producers”. If that changes, look out for Freewheel, which according to CEO Doug Knopper allows “media companies and content owners to be able to monetize their video libraries across multiple channels and devices”.
Advertisers Follow Audiences…
Ex-Disney CEO Michael Eisner doesn’t pretend to know how the industry is going to play out, but he’s got no doubts what the end result will be: “I don’t know if the growth in content made for the Internet will be evolutionary or revolutionary, but it can’t not happen: a death march has been going on for other media who are in trouble because there is a more efficient way to share content around the world with the Internet.”
Business Models Take Time to Develop
Eisner made his fortune in television. One VC who’s made his online has another opinion. In Fred Wilson’s influential 2005 post “The Future of Media (aka Please Take My RSS Feed)”, he suggests to:
1 – Microchunk it – Reduce the content to its simplest form.
2 – Free it – Put it out there without walls around it or strings on it.
3 – Syndicate it – Let anyone take it and run with it.
4 – Monetize it – Put the monetization and tracking systems into the microchunk.
In theory, in the future when video streams monetize the way search queries have (whereby a search query is always associated with some kind of paid listing) then perhaps Wilson’s thesis will prove right. But in practice, at least in the five years that have passed since the post, it’s been a recipe for financial disaster.
Hyper distribution is great for promotional purposes but not necessarily for commercial purposes. Marketers do pay more attention as an audience grows, but they also pay a premium for scarcity and exclusivity.
This is the fundamental conundrum facing new media producers who rely on hyper-distribution to build brands and audiences but who weaken their pricing power and ability to secure guaranteed dollars by giving away their videos. This can work if you can build ad-supported businesses, but that takes time and money.
Today, a few new media producers have managed to build ad-supported businesses, namely Revision3 and Next New Networks. But between the two, they have raised over $30 million in venture capital. Most producers don’t have that luxury. For those others, I recommend creating content that other media companies will pay for, to buy them enough time to build a syndication business and eventually, a fully ad-supported business which commands the large ad dollars.
An imperfect but useful analogy I use is the banking model, where retail, corporate and investment banking fees can create a large business.
This diversified strategy provides:
The reason why I place content producers in the highest Profitability circle over time in the first chart above is because only they can build such a business. (The Profitability Index represented in the chart takes into account operating margins and total return on investment, including likelihood of a liquidity event). And, yes, I am completely biased, since this is the kind of business I am trying to build with WatchMojo. Aggregators and networks are solely advertising based businesses; just ask YouTube who generated $10,000 in a paid model test, even though it can generate billions in simpler ways. Video advertising will be a bigger business, but not necessarily a higher-margin business.
Video will be Everywhere: on all Websites
Video on the Web is no longer just about entertainment. It is also about marketing, instruction, and conveying information of all kinds.
Video will be Everywhere: in Ads
Videos won’t simply be on all websites; video ads will converge with rich media and display banners. Publishers and ad networks will swap out low yield ad placements for videos that sell at a premium. Rupert Murdoch is right to say that there isn’t enough advertising to make all publishing online profitable, but if you insert a video-enabled ad where a display banner exists today, maybe it will become more profitable, as video rates tend to generate a tenfold premium over display banners. Of course, the flip side of that argument is that if video ad inventory lost all scarcity as display banners have, then it rates would also see a steep drop.
Video is the Anti-Search
Google’s dominance of the Web today stems from a perfect storm. Search benefitted from low expectations. Whereas Google’s competitors threw in the towel to focus on portaldom (or outright handed them the business), online video companies’ war chests seemingly have no bottom as they wage the war for the online audience.
With YouTube being a unit of Google, it’s hard to compete being a pure video aggregator. Those who have tried are flailing badly. Yet video’s expectations have always been high and will only get higher.
History Repeats Itself
Video will follow search in two ways though.
Search is software and Google is the only successful ad-supported technology company. Video is media, which has a natural disposition to embrace ad-supported models. As such, advertising will monetize video streams. In fact, as large ad agencies and marketers shift online, they’ll embrace branding campaigns and push video advertising could eventually top search advertising. Once that starts, online advertising will surpass television, it’s already happened in the UK.
Search for The Leading Ad Format
Everyone agrees that video advertising will be huge but what will the prevailing ad format be?
Stakeholders are obsessed with finding the ad format likely to follow television’s 30-second ad spot and search’s paid listings.
What might lead the way?
Pre-rolls are the equivalent of pop-ups (and mid/post rolls the equivalent of pop-unders) in that users hate them, but unlike pop-ups, I actually think pre-rolls won’t disappear, mainly because
However, there will always be properties which will forego pre-roll revenue to improve the user experience in order to build audiences, and all else being equal users will migrate to those sites. So I’m not sure the pre-roll will remain all that ubiquitous. The other problem with pre-rolls is lack of attention. When a pre-roll starts, I tune out and look for my headphones or go grab a coffee.
That’s why I like the contextual display banner (and not necessarily the companion banner). A companion banner comes bundled with the video pre-roll, but sits alongside the video A contextual banner comes without the pre-roll. Whereas most banners disappear quickly next to text with one downward scroll of the mouse, alongside a video player, that banner becomes quite valuable and top-of-mind since people are just staring at the video.
We’ve also seen the rise (and fall) of overlays, which is basically an expanded Picture-in-Picture (PIP) format; we know how that fared.
Of course, content producers are also salivating over branded content (more than product integration and product placement, the brand becomes central to the story) or outright sponsorships.
Finally, there’s the Web’s favorite offspring: the viral video. Viral video is not an ad format, of course, but it is not quite branded content nor is it supported by ads. As these become more common, achieving success with content alone becomes a sure-fire recipe for failure. All content will need to be supported by a media buy or some kind of promotional push. After all, on TV you spend millions creating an ad but you need to buy media spots to promote it. It’s not going to be that different online. Yes, it’s a meritocracy, but it’s a loud, cluttered one.
KISS: Keep It Simple Stupid
There won’t be a single dominant ad format but the holy grail will prove simpler than expected. It always does.
Remember Don Lapre’s infomercials? He would go on and on about placing “Tiny Classified Ads” in newspapers. I never thought much of those ads until Google’s adoption of (essentially) little text ads next to search results led to their explosive growth.
Sometimes in business, the solution is simpler than you can imagine.
小蓓前几天晚上问我:你前几天去银行的时候和苗苗到底说了什么?
我一脸疑惑回答道:啊呀,我说的是在太多了,怎么了?
下午苗苗要让我给你买糖吃,我说妈妈身上忘记带钱了,等晚上再说。小蓓一脸坏笑的问我:你知道她接着回答了我什么?
回答什么?我蛮有兴致的问道
她回答我,妈妈,没带钱没关系的,只要和机器做好朋友就行了。小蓓边说边笑的不行了
哦,我想起来了,我也笑的不行:对对对,那天他看我在ATM前取钱,她问我在干什么,我回答她:爸爸和机器在交朋友啊,当我们成为好朋友之后,机器就会吐出钱来了呀。
敢情她用在小蓓的身上了。
下午陪苗苗一起泡澡,她指着我腿上的毛说:爸爸,这是什么呀?好长啊。我说不好意思的反问:苗苗,你说这是什么呀?
过了一会儿,她边把水泼在我脸上边说:爸爸我知道了,这是脚上长头发了。
晚上,小蓓在她床边讲故事,说完了海绵宝宝之后,她煞有介事的说:妈妈我也给你讲一个故事,好吗?小蓓点头示意。苗苗说:妈妈我给你讲一个腿上长了什么的故事。小蓓一脸迷惑的问:长了什么呀?你猜猜看呀?苗苗一本正经的回答。
正当小蓓一头雾水,苗苗把小腿从被子里伸了出来说:你看啊,长了什么呀?小蓓看了半天没瞧出什么异样,于是问道:长了什么呢?
长了头发呀~苗苗指着自己腿上的汗毛说:长了和爸爸一样的头发呀。

规定太多“不准”都没法解决问题时,很容易让人丧心病狂嘛,于是只能倚仗强权和势力允许什么“准”了.当准许什么都没办法控制的时候,那么接着的就是獠面青牙的撕破脸皮的灭杀。“小样,你是哪根葱!”
咱们举个例子,例如:一家人围桌吃饭,小孩玩心难抑,东拉西扯,不好好吃饭, 作为家长都会先禁止:别钻台子底下,别舞筷子,别把饭搞得到处都是,别…面对孩子一而再三就范,家长就会失去耐心,露出狰狞面目:你丫给我吃饭.
其间的潜台词就是:灭了丫的,随时随地哦
美联社报道,参议院民主党第二号人物、伊利诺伊州参议员Dick Durbin要求30家领先的技术、互联网和通信企业提供在华运作和人权政策的详细信息。
收到询问信函的科技企业包括了苹果、Facebook、Twitter、亚马逊、eBay、AT&T和Verizon,要求它们提供在线业务的信息,以及它们保护人权、言论自由和隐私的计划。AT&T和Facebook表示它们将会在2月19日最后期限回复询问。Twitter在中国没有办事处,但表示很乐意分享它对于审查问题的观点。苹果没有发表评论。Durbin表示他收集信息是为了准备有关Google在中国所采取行动的听证会。
由于社交网站的兴起,社交网络研究过去几年也有许多令人惊讶的发现。与1980年代的“小世界网络”不同(多数节点彼此不连接,但可在几步内实现接触),现代网络中的个人是随机的、不受任何规则管制的连接形成网络。在一项新的研究中,波士顿大学的研究人员分析了谁才是社交网络中最佳的信息传播源(预印本)。
他们观察网络中谁起着枢纽作用,即他比其他人获得更多连接,因此在传播信息或病毒中起着重要的推波助澜作用。他们的发现与常识并不一致。也许你会认为社交网络中的名人显然受到最大的关注,那么他或她在信息传播中的影响力显然也更大。其实不然,信息的最重要传播者不是受人簇拥的骄子,而是网络中的边缘人物。

YOUGOTNOPROOF~~
呵呵,A different sort of “White House” resident will be getting some play in Times Square this month, even though a controversial outerwear advertisement in which a certain Leader of the Free World was featured is due to be taken down. Its replacement — a new and edgy ad from AMC — features Walt White, the chemistry teacher turned drug kingpin from the network’s Emmy Award-winning series Breaking Bad, the third season of which premieres on Sun., Mar. 21 at 10PM | 9C.
Decked out in black jacket against the backdrop of the Great Wall of China, series star Bryan Cranston dresses things up with the latest in gas mask headgear, the most critical accoutrement in the drug-making biz. The tag line on AMC’s version, “Getting Away With It Since 2008,” references the first season the series debuted.
“Breaking Bad’s Walt White is Mr. Chips, but he’s taken a wrong turn along the way and turned into Scarface,” says Charlie Collier, President of AMC. “This was an irresistible opportunity to get attention for a critically acclaimed and award-winning series.”



下载了许久的兰道纪录片:押井守:赋妄想以有形NHKハイビジョン特集映画监督。刚才抽空看了。

片名应该取名为《押井守2.0 赋妄想以有形》似乎更为恰当。
印象最为深刻的是他对在《空中杀手》中需要制作出“静止中运动”的描述是对动画叙事手法的创新。当时看的时候,能感受到角色之间细微神情的流露,以为就是停顿的效果,原来是押井守把人在最为无意识下做出的小动作(掩饰神情的动作等等)通过动画呈现出来,淋漓尽致。
他提到的那些关于创作动画片的“美的统一论”和动画必须具备的“真实现实感”也很切合自己对动画片的期望。
喀麦隆对押井守有几句评价,从我的角度是这样理解的,押井守,他是一个违背了基本好莱坞商业电影工业制造流程,在优先考虑叙述他自己的世界观为主要创作核心理念的同时,却又能在商业上成功的一位日本导演。
呈现一个完整的世界观,向观众呈现一个自己眼中的完整的世界观。
真狠!
