In Episode 5 of the podcast, we talked about democratizing content; that is, the ability for the average person to make and distribute their work at much more reasonable costs than in the past. In the podcast, we talked a bit about crowd-sourced content.
Actor Joseph Gordon Levitt has started a thing called Hit RECord, an open collaborative production company. (Okay, so Hit RECord has been around for several years, but it’s now opened up to YOU!!!) It’s a site where you can share your music, photos, written ideas and see if others want to jump in and do something together — or totally remix it all. Things that rise up and pushed to some level of commercial success see a 50/50 split of profits among the site and the creators involved. A neat idea worth checking out…especially now that it’s going to a variety show on cable.
