Thanks! The product is designed with a couple nice little ratchets in mind. People see videos they like, then recognize they can participate. When they participate they invite their friends to watch them - it's instinct. That's the first cycle. The second cycle is that when people don't see a video on a topic they like, they can create one - and invite their friends to contribute. Success is premised on growing the user base through those two cycles, and then selling things like premium editing subscriptions for people who create a lot of content.

This is the part that would worry me regarding scaling: "The pieces get plugged in to the appropriate areas, combined and narrated into beautiful product that you can share on all your favorite outlets" Who does the combination and narration? The quality of the final movie is going to be a strong driver perception of your product - how do you ensure the quality stays high as you grow? Is it the users that do the narration? That might make it easier, but then your value proposition drops since they could use iMovie, right? I think it's a cool idea though; definitely sounds interesting.

  "Narrated" might have been an inexact choice of words. Most of this will be webcam and mobile footage - what will drive much of the quality will be the words that are said and how they are arranged in sequence, both before and after production. So - narrative just means that unlike a shared photo or video album, or slideshow, there's people talking and it makes sense...

  I fixed the wording to make it a bit more precise, thanks.
