I think that's a core problem in this and other "new media" groups ... the concept of "professional" is somehow skewed by how the content is delivered. The NBC station in Atlanta sent their news anchors home with video cameras to tape how they spent their holiday. The videos are unpolished and look like many "personal" vlogs out on the Interweb's tubes. Are they not "professional" anymore? They're online, but hosted by an NBC affiliate. The camera work is not professional, but they're funded by a "mainstream media outlet" ... Very fuzzy line here. Dragon*ConTV is non-commercial, but we try to be as "professional" as possible making the content. Do we cross into the evils of commercial media once we purchase a good camera, some wireless mics & 3000W of 3200K lighting? I like entertaining videos, good videos, well-produced videos that still have some personality intact ... and I don't care if they come from YouTube or the CathodeRayTube :) -- Brian Richardson - http://whatthecast.com - http://siliconchef.com - http://dragoncontv.com - http://www.3chip.com
