New York Times Magazine posted an in-depth look at some of today's online or web auteurs. Among the videobloggers featured are ZeFrank, Ask a Ninja and others. The thrust of the article is that these videobloggers are emerging because the other channels are in a sense breaking down. Shows like Ask a Ninja are turning out to be more profitable for filmmakers than traditional methods. You might have heard it all of this before in condensed form. But the actual article makes for much more of an interesting read.
