The creators of Blair Witch are at it again.

What a great idea. I signed up for a free pass to the first webisode. Subsequent ones are 99 cents a piece and you know, with enough people paying 99 cents a pop the filmmakers could really be onto something here. It's cheap to produce this kind of thing, especially for web, so they stand to make a lot of money if they can pull this off. The spinoff potential, DVD's, books etc is quite good too.

If the video for each webisode is presented (streamed) in such a way that you have to be at the site to view it they may beable to prevent the amount of pirating that Hollywood's more mainstream biz is grumping about now. Of course where there's a will there's a way, but not everyone will be savvy enough to rip them off. If the product is good enough after the first, I would pay, and I'm good at finding stuff 'for free' on the web.

I think I'll pay close attention to this and see how it develops, but I have ideas how I could utilize this for my stuff.
