Video Moguls Are Born on IndyMogul

IndyMogul bills itself as the first network for the YouTube generation. ????





They put it that way: “Who are we? Well maybe we can answer that by saying who you are. You’re someone who wants to do more with their camera than just shoot home movies. You're an Indy Mogul.”

Their premiere show “Backyard FX” runs every Monday and is hosted by zero-budget wizard Erik Beck. (Now that IS the kind of budget we appreciate!) Erik shows you how to create special effects the fun and cheap way, and then subjects you, his siblings, roommates, puppets, and who knows what else to his creations. Each week he takes challenges and suggestions from his viewers to get those latent creative juices flowing without making your wallet sweat.

No matter what level you're at, you can become a part of Indy Mogul. Send them your footage, an original special effect, or simply record your thoughts on a webcam. Whatever it is, they want to see it, hear it, and put it on the site! They even have a monthly episode dedicated to content your fellow creators have submitted.
