> Don’t let its simplicity or niche use case fool you, ReelSurfer has a lot of potential in its ability to transform everyday consumers into video creators, curators and mashup artists.

Most consumers usually need some sort of motivation (i.e. impressing people) to create something.

What kind of rewards will Reelsurfer give these creators in order to motivate them?

viewcount would seem to me to be a tried and true motivator, especially for creators, no?

For the reel contest itself, the reward is a meeting with an investor.

Can this be used to edit together custom porn clips?

Presumably. If you can create a mashup on startup advice for the contest from the audio track on porn clips. I suspect you would have a good shot at winning the contest.
