Abstract

Systems and methods for facilitating collaboration between video creators/publishers and users in need of video creations and/or publication of videos are provided. A profile component receives and stores profile information regarding video creators. A video request component receives a request for at least creation of a video, the request indicating one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the video. A search component responds to the request and searches the profile information in connection with identifying one or more of the video creators that can create the video based on a correlation between their respective profile information and the one or more characteristics associated with the video creation.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a memory having stored thereon computer executable components; and

a processor configured to execute the following computer executable components stored in the memory;

a profile component that receives profile information for a user, the profile information defining at least characteristics associated with video creation capabilities of the user;

a video request component that receives a request for creation of an original video, the request indicating one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video; and

a search component that queries a forum and determines whether the user is suitable for the creation of the original video based on correspondence between the one or more characteristics of the request and the profile information for the user.

2. The system of claim 1, further comprising:

a communication component that facilitates communication between the user and an entity making the request in response to a determination that the user is suitable for the creation of the original video.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include at least one of:

a number of actors to be included in the original video and a description of actors to be included in the original video.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a product or service to be identified in the original video.

5. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a setting to be included in the original video.

6. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a time frame for the creation of the original video.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a desired duration for the original video.

8. A method comprising:

receiving, using a computer, profile information for a user, the profile information defining at least characteristics associated with video creation capabilities of the user;

receiving, using the computer, a request for creation of an original video, the request indicating one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video; and

querying, using the computer, a forum to determine whether the user is suitable for the creation of the original video based on correspondence between the one or more characteristics of the request and the profile information for the user.

9. The method of claim 8, further comprising:

facilitating communication between the user and an entity making the request in response to a determination that the user is suitable for the creation of the original video.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include at least one of:

a number of actors to be included in the original video and a description of actors to be included in the original video.

11. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a product or service to be identified in the original video.

12. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a setting to be included in the original video.

13. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a time frame for the creation of the original video.

14. The method of claim 8, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a desired duration for the original video.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer program instructions that when executed by a computer cause the computer to perform steps comprising:

receiving, using a computer, profile information for a user, the profile information defining at least characteristics associated with video creation capabilities of the user;

receiving, using the computer, a request for creation of an original video, the request indicating one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video; and

querying, using the computer, a forum to determine whether the user is suitable for the creation of the original video based on correspondence between the one or more characteristics of the request and the profile information for the user.

16. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, the steps further comprising:

facilitating communication between the user and an entity making the request in response to a determination that the user is suitable for the creation of the original video.

17. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include at least one of:

a number of actors to be included in the original video and a description of actors to be included in the original video.

18. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a product or service to be identified in the original video.

19. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a setting to be included in the original video.

20. The computer-readable medium of claim 15, wherein the one or more characteristics associated with the creation of the original video include a time frame for the creation of the original video.
