So I’ve decided to start sharing more semi-raw footage from the documentary on the web…It helps me to measure the value of content as I get feedback from others, and it also helps other people who might be struggling with their weight…providing some inspiration (I hope) and some good quality info.

Revver is kind of like YouTube, except for it does stick ads on to the end of each video. The idea is that people who post good content will be rewarded when viewers watch the video and subsequently click on the ad at the end. While we are against having sponsors for the film who might dictate what the film is ultimately about, the Revver model might allow us to raise money to ensure we can complete INSPIRED at the quality level we envision.

So while it’s not exactly “selling out” to corporate advertising, it kind of is. We’ll give it a try to see what kind of ads they stick on the end of our videos, and go from there…if it ends up being a bad idea, we’ll stick to traditional fundraising methods!

We can’t really urge anyone to click on the ads, but we would love for you to share videos with others by sending links and adding the videos to your blog if you find them interesting!
