Can you believe YouTube recently celebrated its 8th birthday? The worlds of online video and content creators have come a long way in such a short time–and we’re just getting started. Ask business author and one of the pioneers of video on the web Gary Vaynerchuk and he would say, “This thing, the Internet–it’s a baby. We’re just 15 minutes in…”
Everyday close to 100 hours of content is being uploaded to YouTube every minute accompanied by billions of views. It’s never been easier to make a video thanks to the help of the iPhone, other mobile devices and DSLR cameras. Now YouTube (aka Google) is taking it to the next level and creating incubators like the new Youtube Space LA to nurture and train up-and-coming YouTube stars to help them hone their video-making skills, build vibrant communities and possibly reach SuperTuber status.
SuperTuber is a descriptor that may or may not stick, but it’s an easy way to describe those who have achieved super-subscription and view thresholds like The Fine Brothers
, iJustine, Jenna Marbles, Smosh and more. There are several notable producers of film and TV, as well as Hollywood talent focused on building their own channels or MCN’s (multi channel networks) that all hope to make it to that level. Youtube Space LA was bult to to help them – and the next Fine Brothers, iJustine, Jenna Marbles, and Smosh – get there.Watch the video featuring YouTube Space LA’s Liam Collins and Kathleen Grace and let’s get Behind the Brand to try to crack the code on making entertaining sharable content.
