Hooray for Hollywood

Scott Kirsner on CinemaTech (here):

"I think we're seeing the emergence of professional content online that will challenge user-generated content -something I started talking about late last year. This doesn't mean user-gen video is going to disappear, or that we won't see user-generated viral clips continue to circulate -- just that the professionals are now serious about trying to reach viewers, build long-term relationships, and make money on the Web."

And he closes:

"I don't think we've hit an inflection point yet for professional video content online.

But it could be close."
