Hi everyone!
I’d like to introduce you to the brand new Metacafe Studio, a great new section of Metacafe’s site dedicated to our amazing community of video creators. The Studio gives us a chance to showcase your original work and your fascinationg stories. It’s also a place where all video creators from first-timers to established professionals can pick up great tips, find resources, and share advice for future projects.
Don’t worry – all the Producer Rewards features you’re used to seeing under the Producer Rewards tab are still here – but with a twist. Now you’ll have more stats and more exposure!
For example, you can still see the Top Producers list, but now you can choose if you’d like to see the top producers of the week, month, or all time. You can sort them by earnings, number of videos submitted to Metacafe, and the average rank.
We wanted to give you, our amazing video creators, more exposure, so we will now feature a different producer every day, including a link to the Producer’s page – so don’t forget to spiffy up your profile with an avatar, a quote, and a link to your website.
The Spotlight section specifically was created to give all of our video creators more exposure. Here you’ll find some of Metacafe’s favorite Producer Rewards videos and interviews with some of Metacafe’s video creators. This section will also feature video news, updated daily, tips and tools of the trade, and columns by your favorite producers and industry leaders. Here you’ll find information like what type of music can be used for Producer Rewards.
In our Resources page, you’ll find everything you need to get your video off the ground, including links to stock media, software, and product reviews that will help you choose the best resources to fit your particular needs. We know that you don’t have Hollywood budgets, so we made sure to include a lot of free sites as well.
Ever wanted to shoot a video outdoors, but couldn’t get the lighting right? How about that awesome ”Pleasantville” or “Sin City” affect where everything is black and white except for one color? Well, here’s an extra something you won’t find on any other video site: The Metacafe Production School. In this section you’ll find tons of tutorials about everything related to video production from the most basic, such as camera work and movement, to the more advanced topics like lighting, sound, and editing.
We created this “studio” FOR you, and we want to see YOU be a part of it. If you think you can contribute to any of these sections, email us at studio@metacafe.com and show us what you’ve got!

QUOTE(Mr.Illusion @ Jun 20 2007, 04:34 PM)  Is this suppose to be the June 17 changes? Yup, we had a few things to smooth out so we waited til today. I hope you all like it. If you have suggestions, please let us know. As for the Featured Producer, it's more or less random. We're not playing favorites here, don't worry. But every so often we'll choose someone we think isn't doing as well as they should -- someone deserving of a little extra exposure.

Wow! There is a ton of info on that resource page. I feel overwhelmed...  ...not enough time to go through it all. AHHHHHH!!!!! But great job, Talia, Assaf, and the rest of you at Metacafe. I think I know where the Big Wigs at Metacafe are trying to head with this site. Will be interesting to see where it ends up in 5 to 10 years with more and more people heading to their computers at night for personalized entertainment... p.s. yea! I made the monthly top earners tab.  Now if I could just finish the video I've been working on for 2 months...
