Have Camera Will Hire (and make money!)

New Media It’s the age of content and everyone’s got an opinion. But if someone has a video camera and a high speed connection, even a quick tutorial of Windows Movie Maker will have you think of falling in the steps of Spielberg. If you’re wondering where the Pakistani video content is going, run a search for ‘videos’ about anything on Google, and you’ll see – they’re everywhere!

With Content Management Systems such as WordPress, Drupal and Joomla, embedding video is really a lot easier. With the number of websites creating a more Web2.0 flavor, it’s been interesting to see the number of videos that crop up on a daily basis. And we’re taking into account more than just the traffic you see from the locals on YouTube or Google Video. In working with the concept of vertical content aggregators, vortals such as vidpk.com are increasing in popularity with every upload.

Most cell phones have video cameras in them which allow people to capture moments and video blog them through GPRS. The ‘Click. Done’ concept introduced into the local market by PixSense perhaps hasn’t had as much justice done to it as it deserves. A solution that allows the photograph albums to be updated through GPRS as a background operation, being minimally taxing on the phone’s resources, should have been promoted in a more creative manner than it was by telcos.

With an ever increasing demand for people to create fresh content, the freelance offers are already in play. Believe it or not, it is possible to make your camera help you earn your living while serving the local market.
