This provides some perspective and a good counterpoint to the "all you need is a video camera" attitude seemingly prevalent everywhere *except* with creative professionals. Unlike a short film, a video series (web or otherwise) needs to be sustainable for the long term, which means relying primarily on volunteers isn't practical - something this second generation of web series producers obviously realizes. What would you estimate the per (New Media) Minute cost to produce and distribute your series is, factoring in your hourly rate, plus those of your technical staff, time for writing, research and marketing and (approving all those facebook requests), and some allowance for video equipment and space, etc? Cheers! -Sean Hi Daisy,
