Very interesting possibilities for the future...

I think that there is a lot of merit to this article. Be it "unconventional", video is going to go through a (similar-to-iTunes-with-music) revolution. I just had a coworker show me some footage of his vacation to Jamaica that he shot with his new GoPro3. I mean sure, it had normal issues (no stabilization, etc.). But he shot footage in the ocean, tons of other stuff, and most of what's wrong in time could be fixed with processing power (auto-stabilize, white balance, etc), especially as camera resolutions and sensors improve.

My point there is that making nice quality images is not so difficult anymore. Telling a good story is STILL and will remain an art. But even then, that art is becoming more affordable and more accessible than ever before. The more affordable/accessible, the more common and less specialized it becomes. I don't see the big studios going away (Avatar won't be made in a 18-year-old's basement), but the Juno/indy style movie is only on it's way up.
