I am wondering if something like the Blender Open Project model (see: Elephants Dream, Big Buck Bunny, Yo Frankie! and Sintel) would work. This are projects produced by small teams and in a relatively small amount of time. And the results are incredible. Of course the teams behind these projects consist of professionals. Furthermore these projects are produced in a real studio, and not over the internet. And lets not forget that the Blender Institute backs up these projects both financially and organisationally. That means, that this model is probably not interesting for lone-wolves and unorganised teams. But it might be of interest to competent teams that know what they are doing. The hardest part will be the beginning, though, as its unlikely that people will sponsor a project created by unknown people.
