Right now our culture is in the middle of a huge video revolution. The lines between content creators and consumers are quickly blurring. People are becoming less dependent on their cable and satellite subscriptions and more dependent on web content (you’ve heard the buzz words like cord cutting and TV everywhere). At the same time, armed with iPhones and iPads, consumers are beginning to get serious about shooting, editing and sharing their own movies. Small businesses are getting in on the act as are countless nonprofit organizations. Increasingly, TV and video consumption is getting social. People want to share what they are watching with their friends and see what videos their friends have discovered.
