Animators Lead the Online Video Revolution, Television Pioneer Fred Seibert
Acclaimed for his work as employee #1 at MTV where he was creative director and later as president of MTV Online, president of Hanna Barbara and the force behind the revitalization of Nickelodeon, Fred Seibert has been on the forefront of several chapters in the (r)evolution of television.
These days he's building a diversified network of community-generated online video programming at a company called NextNewNetworks. He holds the title of creative director. In March the company raised $15 million in a second financing round from Goldman Sachs and Velocity Interactive.
There are 16 shows. Barely Political is probably the best know these days, particularly for its "Obama Girl" sensation.
Fred came by the Beet.TV studios earlier this week to talk about Channel Federator, the online network for animators he started some years back. He explains how animators were the among the first to embrace the online medium way back in the 90's.
Although just a few thousand animators upload videos, the clips are getting 3 million monthly views on the company's site and through extensive syndication onto many sites including YouTube, Blip.tv, MySpace, Viddler, etc.
(NextNewNetworks uses TubeMogul, an awesome service, to syndicate its clips to multiple sharing sites -- as does Beet.TV)
Fred is busy planning for the company's second annual animation awards which will take place in New York on June 4. Check out the nominees and their really cool work and cast your vote! The awards event will be presented online on June 10.

Dispatch from Hollywood: Product Placement in Online Video Works
Here in Hollywood last night, I caught up with several of the creative leaders in independent online video. I interviewed Miles Beckett and Greg Goodfried, producers of lonelygirl15, Tim Street of French Maid TV and Hayden Black of Good Night Burbank.
Hollywood As each of these producers seek a growing audience, they are monetizing their content through product mentions and placements integrated into their shows. We will publish these interviews over the next few days along with other material from Digital Hollywood.
One of the the biggest creators of online video is the New York-based NextNewNetworks. The company has 15 separate episodic programs. They are extremely popular on YouTube, sometimes registering as the most popular channel.
Fred Seibert is the creative director of NextNewNetworks. Fred is a television pioneer who was the creative director of MTV. He says that his company is finding success in sponsored programming.
Since advertising around online video is still in its infancy and most ads don't travel in viral videos, making ads part of the content is a solution that is working well for these innovators.

Barely Political has Unexpected Hit with Obama Girl
Ben Relles is the founder and producer of Barely Political, a spoof on politics which has hit it big with the Obama Girl sensation. This clip has had nearly 9 million views on YouTube. Looks like Obama's progress towards the Presidential nomination puts Ben on a winning ticket.
Earlier this year, Relles's company was acquired by NextNewNetworks, a company that is assembling and launching a number of serialized online video shows.
I interviewed Ben earlier this week at the Streaming Media East conference in Manhattan.

| Saul Berman at Digital Hollywood - 288 sec Friday, May 16, 2008
Creative Producers will Grab Advertising Dollars with Original, Sponsored Videos
From small online videos content producers such as EQAL and NextNewNetworks, to giant ones like Yahoo!, the marketing messages of sponsors are being "baked" into original productions. These messages range from product placements to branded characters to stories about a particular product or service.
As online video advertising is in its nascent stage, sponsored content or "advertorials" are
a big trend and away to make money. This theme was repeatedly mentioned to me by several independent producers I spoke with in Hollywood last week. I will be publishing several of these interviews over the next few days.
In a sense, Madison Avenue is moving to Hollywood as the creativity of independent filmmakers is being sought by marketers who had only relied on their advertising agencies.
At Digital Hollywood last week, I interviewed the head of IBM's entertainment and media consulting group Saul Berman. He talks about the impact of digital media on the entertainment industry. He says that Hollywood has to change -- that it has been way behind the curve relative to other major industries. Saul references this recently released study about the imperative of change in his comments.
