Just who is Jacob Latimore? If you’re a young R&B fan, you might already recognize him from his days touring with Mindless Behavior and Diggy Simmons. But the rest of us are about to hear his name a whole lot more as he shares the screen with the likes of Jennifer Hudson, Forest Whitaker, Angela Bassett, Tyrese Gibson and Nas in Black Nativity, which hits theaters on November 27. What’s it like to have your first big starring role at 17 in a movie with Oscar winners as your supporting cast? Well, that’s just one of the questions we have for Jacob when he stops by our Very VH1 Spreecast on Tuesday at 3 p.m. Et. You probably have plenty of your own questions too, which is why you should join us, sign in and ask him yourself. If you have a webcam, you may even get to talk to him face-to-face (well,...

Despite being an avid fan of One Direction and Selena Gomez (and their ilk), I’ve never heard of the boy band Mindless Behavior. Yet they have a new Blu-ray that chronicles their “rise to stardom.” With cameras following them around on their most recent tour last summer, Mindless Behavior members Prodigy, Princeton, Ray Ray, and Roc Royal perform to swarms of pre-teen girls and give interviews about their exciting lives to director Steven Goldfried.
The group was formed in 2008 by old friends Keisha Gamble and Walter Millsap, who wanted to capitalize on the growing boy band trend (after receiving a mandate from God in a dream, according to Walter). They gathered together the aforementioned boys—now in their early teens—based on their aptitude for rapping and dancing. Through a little luck, some efficient marketing, and two years of practice, the group released a full album in September 2011, while...

"Manage change by provoking it." Alexander Manu , Keynote Speaker, Stream Conference 2013. If there were one line I could repeat about the mood at the inaugural Stream Conference from Brunico, this would be it. I have no illusions that the world of traditional "filmmaking" and the digital arena are converging so I try to attend as many new media and advertising conferences as I can. The panels are interesting, but I most enjoy mixing with the other attendees to get a boots on the ground perspective from the digital trenches.
Stream bills itself as the "world’s first marketplace and conference for Internet TV originals...bringing the independent production community together with the leading Internet TV development executives, media agencies and brands to network, do business and learn how to work together more effectively."
A very ambitious mission for a first-time event. I have to give them credit though, the Brunico team (responsible for the venerable RealScreen and KidScreen conferences) had quite a line up of speakers and execs for the panels and speed pitch sessions offered to attendees.
A few takeaways from Stream:
"You can distribute your content if you believe you can." Alexander Manu, Keynote speaker, Stream.
Billed as a "provocative author, speaker and leading practitioner in the field of strategic foresight," in all honesty Alexander Manu provided one of the best keynote presentations I've heard in years; on the level of Ted. More than a couple times I shared a Mind=Blown moment with fellow attendee Will Keenan from Maker Studios as Manu discussed his research on behavioral space and the changing context of content delivery and creation. Manu posits that "the transformation from linear to Internet TV is not a tactical challenge, but a strategic one." Hmm... See what I mean? The audio is available free here.
Most of the following panels were excellent and featured high-level execs from the likes of Yahoo! Inc., Paramount Insurge, Wme, Funny or Die, and others; with titles such as, "Agents and Managers for the Digital Age", "Meet the Newest Heavyweights to Enter Original Online Video", and "The Art of the Syndication Deal".
However as an active YouTube creator I was most interested in what the heavyweights from the McN (Multi-Channel Network) panel had to say.
Moderated by Drew Buckley (COO Electus), the panel featured Barry Blumberg (Evp Alloy Digital/President Smosh), Brett Bouttier (COO Awesomeness TV), Sarah Penna (Co-founder Big Frame), Aaron DeBevoise (Evp Machinima), George Strompolos (CEO Fullscreen), and Chris Williams (Cdo Maker Studios).
The debate rages over what these new entities "MCNs" really are and what they bring to the content table. Some are essentially aggregators of similar YouTube channels that make it easier for audiences and advertisers to find similar content to enjoy or a particular demographic to target, and others have morphed into neo-traditional entertainment content production studios. What I found most interesting about this panel was that while it was supposed to provide insight as to specifically how MCNs make money for their content partners, it morphed into a discussion of how these studios are working hard to actually move their content Off YouTube, or at least develop content that lives in more traditional spaces than YouTube exclusively. This was literally on the heels of a fascinating blog post by YouTube personality and entrepreneur Jason Calacanis decrying what he called the unfair business relationship between Google and it's content partners. Read his post here and feel free to give your two cents' worth below!
The MCNs understandably have to walk a fine line, but they all admitted to also be working on taking their content to other platforms and/or traditional TV, if not off YouTube altogether. Lucas Shaw has his own thoughtful take on the McN's discussion here.
I think a diversified strategy usually tends to be best anyhow, but in the end good content will always win. If one platform or distributor doesn't want it, keep shopping it until you find the right home for it. We use YouTube to study the market, create interest, and even make some money on the side. Our Ouija movie I Am ZoZo was essentially incubated on YouTube and we made changes to the film's script based on the demographic and viewer interaction we were seeing on our viral video.
Even while admitting that they are always trying to diversify, Barry Blumberg Evp of Alloy Digital and Smosh made a pretty simple argument in favor of staying with YouTube on some level, "Say what you want, but YouTube doesn't want to own your content like the TV networks do." A powerful distinction! With YouTube rolling out subscription channels and continuing to work on it's VOD service I wouldn't count them out as a viable long-form distribution platform. When you factor in the cost of hosting and streaming your own video content and creating a massive user-friendly social network, YouTube's terms hold their own against any broadcast deal (last time I checked NBC wasn't handing out advertising rev-shares to indie producers. or letting them own 100% of their content.)
Random quote for thought: "DVDs are still the biggest moneymaker," Brett Bouttier COO, AwesomenessTV on their DVD release of the "All Around the World" concert film about boy-band phenoms Mindless Behavior. It's true, DVDs are still hanging around so don't give up on them yet!
Interesting startup of the day:
There are a million new services popping up promising to help filmmakers get distribution or providing some automated service that is supposed to streamline the insanity of film production. As a habit I make it a point to try out most of them if for no other purpose than to see what these services think I need. As a "music licensing and technology company that provides creative music licensing solutions for all media" music licensing service Audiosocket seems to have great potential for indie filmmakers and established producers alike. I sat down with toppers Jenn Miller and Edward Averdiek and posed a couple of questions about their new service.
Zack Coffman: How can your services help producers and content creators deal with the conundrum of music licensing?
Jenn Miller: All music is pre-cleared for any media, so you can quickly and easily find and then license music to meet your needs at the click of a button using our technology.
Zc: What kind of music do you have available? There are stock libraries out there already. What makes Audiosocket different?
Jm: Our curation strategy is what differentiates us, we have a team that scouts emerging artists using blogs, venues and festivals to find great acts. As well, we just partnered up with Cue Songs, a company founded by Peter Gabriel and Ed Averdieck, to bring their well known artists to our roster of great indie artists! Their music will be available this fall.
Zc: Is it affordable?
Jm: Yes. We strive to get our artists paid fairly while using a fresh perspective on what licensing rates should be based on where their media is being used. No one will pay even $100 for a track being used for a personal video of their kids playing soccer to share with friends and family. But they're very happy to pay $2. Likewise, a wedding videographer will not pay $100 a track for a single use when they may make $500-$2000. We understand that and have priced these licenses accordingly.
Zc: What about syndication, copyright notification systems and Content ID?
Jm: Our licenses can cover all web media, just make sure you get the right license. We're also in early beta with a license identification technology which authenticates a license across the web. It will call back a license from anywhere on the web, validating its clearance rights so for those using the system, your work will not be claimed, taken down, contested, etc.
Zc: How did Audiosocket come into being?
Jm: While running an extreme sports organization, I was clearing music for these films by famous artists when I discovered a much easier approach. Instead of trying to track down and get return calls from dozens of rights holders in a timely manner within a fixed budget, I started working with my now business partner, licensing music from touring bands he'd booked for shows at one of his venues. My clients got affordable music from the freshest emerging artists and their movies helped propel these bands careers. And my job of clearing content was simplified. Win-win-win. So my business partner and I, on a whim one night over margaritas decided to start Audiosocket.

New York — In just four years, Justin Bieber has gone from fielding innocuous questions about his haircut to denying that he's in desperate need of rehab. Bieber's grown up and into tabloid territory, with his recent troubles making some question whether he's just the latest teen star gone wild.
In what could have been his worst week ever, the 19-year-old pop star struggled with his breathing and fainted backstage at a London show, was taken to a hospital and then was caught on camera clashing with a paparazzo. Days earlier, he was booed by his beloved fans when he showed up late to a concert.
Those incidents come after photos of Bieber appearing to smoke marijuana hit the Web, and some headlines have suggested that the ultra-popular star is going through a famous Britney Spears-style meltdown.
Others suggest he's struggling with a more common condition: being a teenager.

Fans showed off their Mindless Behavior at an event for the music group over the weekend. There were a total of 19 arrested at a mall in Chicago after an Mindless Behavior autograph session got out of control.
The two-hour meet-and-great for Mindless Behavior, a "family event" attended by a group of around 1,000 people -- primarily mothers and girls, ended at around 4 p.m. Chicago police tell Wbbm that a group of "older youths" entered the mall at around 4:45 p.m. and started "yelling, running and using foul language" and generally wreaking havoc. That evolved into fights breaking out and vehicles being vandalized, with security guards unable to contain the situation. It got so bad that the bus service had to be temporarily suspended around the Ford City Mall.
"We were lucky we had Chicago police on the premises. They observed what was going on. It was their directive to close the mall early,...

Katy Perry brought two of her best accessories to the 2013 inauguration: Her striped Rodarte coat, and her boyfriend John Mayer. The jacket came from the Rodarte Fall 2012 collection, and Perry complimented it simply with black sunglasses and a fedora.
This more subdued fashion statement is a marked contrast to the outfit she wore to the Kids' Inaugural Concert over the weekend. There she donned a very patriotic, pin-up inspired outfit replete with stars, stripes and a top hat as she performed for Michelle Obama and her daughters Sasha and Malia, as well as other military families.
"I'm very proud to be here and to see the Obamas and the Bidens here for four more years!" she said at the concert according to the New York Daily News. Also performing at the event were Usher, Mindless Behavior and Far East Movement.

Washington — Usher sang "Yeah!" Katy Perry donned star and stripes for "Firework." And a ballroom full of lucky kids got to rock out with Sasha and Malia Obama at Saturday's Kids' Inaugural Concert, a star-studded event that honors America's military families.
"Now, inauguration is a pretty big deal," first lady Michelle Obama, who hosted the event along with Jill Biden, told the assembled families at the Washington Convention Center. "But I have to tell you that my very favorite part of this entire weekend is being right here with all of you." She paid tribute to the sacrifices that military families make, including their kids.
Pointing out that such kids often attend six to nine schools by the end of high school, always having to be "the new kid," she said being a military kid meant "growing up just a little faster, and working just a little harder than other kids.

HollywoodNews.com: Beyonce seems like a pretty kind person, which is exactly why she will step up if someone says something she doesn’t agree with.
Beyonce recently made a point at the Bet Awards after one member of the group Mindless Behavior insulted Lauryn Hill while presenting, states TMZ. “You sing Bad … like Lauryn Hill’s tax accountant bad,” the member said, referencing her recent issues.
However, when Beyonce ended up winning that award, she made sure to make a point in her speech: “I want to thank all the talented R&B women that came before me like Lauryn Hill and Mary J. Blige.”
She reportedly then cleared things up backstage: “I just felt [the diss] was wrong.”

Stands to reason that a YouTube channel will soar up the charts the week it launches. Teen channel Awesomeness TV, which kicked off last Thursday, did that in a big way in our tally for the week ending June 27. Powered by a slate that includes talk show Imo and a series, Mindless Takeover, about the boy band Mindless Behavior, it rocketed 69 places to No. 8 with 1.5M views. But The Warner Sound recorded the biggest gains in views: It was up 4.3M to 9.8M, knocking Sourcefed out of the No. 1 spot for the first time in the six weeks since we began our YouTube rankings. The top 10 channels accounted for 58% of the total views. We saw the usual shuffling within that group, but with Motor Trend making room for Awesomeness TV by dropping two slots to No. 12. Others gaining views this week include The Thrash Lab (+821,758 to 990,257), Numberphile (+542,465 to 636,459), Mondo Media...

Samuel L. wasn't in attendance, but "The Avengers" star sent a pre-taped message promising that the show will be "too big to miss.

The fans have spoken. After two weeks of intense matchups and more than 12 million votes, Westlife have come out on top in MTV's Battle of the Boy Bands. The Irish boy band easily defeated the Jonas Brothers in the final round, with more than 70 percent of the final vote. It was a hard-fought finale with both bands' fanbases tirelessly voting in the hopes of giving their band the championship, but in the end, the international firepower of Westlife was too much for JoBros fans to handle.
Westlife may not have been favored to win this competition, but from day one they proved they were fighters and were out to make a statement. They got everyone's attention early on when, amidst accusations of cheating, they fairly beat out fan favorites the Backstreet Boys in the first round.

It was a highly unpredictable first round of MTV's Battle of the Boy Bands, with perceived favorites Backstreet Boys and 'Nsync out of the competition.
Irish boy band Westlife ousted Bsb, and British group 5ive took out 'Nsync by an extremely thin margin.
Many other matchups went down to the wire, including New Kids on the Block, who narrowly avoided an upset by Take That. O-Town received a late rally from their fans, giving them the edge over the Jackson 5. New boy bands like One Direction, the Wanted and Big Time Rush will move on to the next round, but, as you can see, it seems as if no one is safe.
So who remains in the competition?...
