[videoblogging] Fwd: The Indie TV Movement is Here
We have crossed a milestone with this weekend's announcement that TiVo has entered into an agreement with the popular web show Rocketboom. Finally a model for independent television is upon us. Right now the television shows are developed by a handful of trusted writer/producers in Hollywood who have become trusted enough to pitch there show ideas to the Networks. They've gained this trust by working on other television shows or by being incredibly success in another medium such as film, or books, or porn. If you're not one of these trusted people, the networks will not talk to you about your ideas. These pitches are then considered by the network suits and a few are chosen to be turned into full fledged pilot scripts. These scripts are then read and fewer still are made into actual pilots and then the best pilots make it to air where most of them fail to generate the 8-15 million viewers required to stay on the air. In the last year with maturity of mRSS and the wide dispersal of high-quality digital video production tools, video podcasting has exploded. For the new kids on the block, video podcasting allows programs like iTunes and FireAnt to automatically download video content. It's like signing up for a season pass on TiVo. Once you find a podcast you like, you can tell these programs to always download the newest content when it appears on the net. That's the groundwork, and now with this TiVo deal you can add that same sort of functionality to your television set through TiVo.Great. But how does that change anything? Well, it changes things because it gives TiVo an incentive to make other deals with indie producers so that they can distinguish themselves from the generic PVR boxes more and more cable and satellite providers are giving to their customers. It also will allow for a model where indie producers will have incentive to create longer DVD-length pilots for their shows on the cheap. Why go to a big network that's just going to shit all over your idea when you can produce your own content the way you want it and then take it to the network when you have built a following through TiVo and iTunes. If you can prove your show is being watched by a million people, you're getting close to what the average viewership is on basic cable. How will the producers make money? Subscribers, DVD sales, and small interactive ads for the people who don't subscribe. The subscribers is a simple extension of how people pay for cable today. ESPN gets around $2.50 out of your monthly cable bill to support it's programming. That works out to $30 a year and about eight cents for each day's Sports Center. If you charge people $5 or $10 a year to subscribe to your entire archive and get extra content and early access to your new shows you should see a fairly sizable subscriber base (10%-ish). It's important to not that you still give away your content freely on the net and TiVo, but you just charge a reasonable fee for subscription and you treat your free customers with respect. The market for DVDs is impressive. Sales of TV show DVD is very strong, and it costs under $2 to physically produce a DVD. Add the usual bevvy of special features and DVD only content and you should be able to sell enough discs to recoup your costs with a healthy profit. Advertising. Again this should not be intrusive. But a simple ad at the end of your content will bring in enough money to fund the project and not be annoying to the viewers. And this ad would not appear on the subscriber's content, this would only be for your free viewers. So that's where the money comes from, but where does the content come from?On the indie film front, one of the most innovative companies in film is InDigEnt. They produce films for $150,000 where everyone on the crew gets paid $100 a day and then receives profit participation when the film sells. This is the model for how indie television should be made. A typical network pilots costs in the millions of dollars, cable a little less. 15 indie pilots could be made for each network pilot. And the indie pilot would be a lot longer than a network pilot.If you look at shows like the original BBC series The Office, the first season consists of six episodes, with a running time of around 170 minutes. The show did a second season and a few specials in Great Britain and was developed into a full fledged American sitcom too. Indie Television would do the same thing. We'd create 90-120 minutes of original content that would be divided into weekly episodes. Episodes would be from 5-15 minutes, released weekly for 10-20 weeks and then sold as a DVD. Successful shows would have multiple seasons and have the possibility of moving up to a bigger network if the audience is there. Projects would have budgets no larger than $150,000 for an entire season with everyone paid the same and have a share of the profits (the more involved you are the bigger the percentage). And the copyrights and intellectual property would

Re: [videoblogging] What camera should I ask Santa for?
Hi Lisa! I'm glad you asked that question. I get it all the time. I hope we see a really good response from the group. When I tell people that I use my Canon S400 for video they are usually surprised. I really like being able to drag the video clips to the desktop without having to deal with tapes. The quality though is not as good as my Canon GL/2 and when we watch on TV, you notice a difference. It's pretty good for web video though. One good thing about miniDV tapes is that you always have a backup of you do not reuse your tapes. I'd look into one of the cameras like the Canon SD400 or SD500 for a portable, Flash based camera. Other than that, I'd like to hear about people's suggestions for a miniDV camera from maybe Canon or Sony.

[videoblogging] Re: What camera should I ask Santa for?
Although I loove my camera, I DO regret not simply getting a decent still camera that shoots short movie clips. In the videoblogging world, three minutes is plenty, although the 3 shooting limit does restrict you if you want to keep shooting all day and edit stuff later! It would be perfect to carry around all the time to capture quickie moments (DAD IF YOU ARE READING THIS THAT IS A CHRISTMAS HINT) I bought a Canon Optura 60, which doesn a billion things I don't need it to do, nor have I really read the manual. It shoots, I can work the zoom, it has a nice motion stabilizer. Prices vary wildly: It hovers in the $650-$850 range. I ended up with a large package deal full of stuff (some of which I also don't really need--but then also extra tapes, battery, case, speedy charger, memory card, card reader, longer warantee) for $850 and there a $100 Canon rebate till the end of the year. It's the only video camera I've ever owned so I can't compare it to anything. I think you may be better off with your good still camera than a too-low-end DV camera-- image-quality wise.

[videoblogging] Re: What camera should I ask Santa for?
Yeah I think that's one of the Euro cousins of my little Panasonic PV-GS70. Which was the first sub-$1000 3 chip that Panasonic made. They now have a line of them the 75, 150 and 250 (I think). I love mine. It's not real good in low light but the newer models are better. I got mine used on ebay for about $600 but I bet it's cheaper than that now. You can get the 150 for about $450-500 from a reputable dealer. It also shoots MP4 video to an SD card if you need it too, so that would be good for a vlogger and save some bucks on tape. But the camera isn't Macintosh compatible for reading the SD card (works fine for tape). So you would need a separate card reader for it, which is not a big deal. It's kind of the best of all worlds, it's small, shoots good quality video, has good manual features, and can record to a card or tape. I also have a wide angle lens attachment for it which is very useful. I've also shot with a Panasonic DVX 100a, a Canon GL2 and an Canon XL2, all of which are excellent cameras but kind of over kill for a video blogger. Plus they are very expensive. And in the case of the XL2, size is really an issue--it's just too damn big!! But all of these would be great choices if you ever planned on making broadcast quailty video.

It has lots of good thing to say about the videoblogs (like mine :) ) it references and generally makes videoblogging sound like this new and exciting thing that's happening - which I certainly think is true. There is one subtle point that they hit on a number of times in the article that I think is off base. And the NY Times isn't the only one to this, it happens in almost every article written in the mainstream press. Some quotes from the article: What makes Rocketboom so different from most of the other video blogs, or vlogs, that have popped up in the last year or so is that the daily episodes are consistently entertaining. Many of the world's other vlogs are closer in form to diaries or home movies - with all the tedium that can imply. Most of the vlogs are quite boring So here's where I think they miss the point: The value judgement of consistently entertaining or boring is holdover from commercial TV or film where everyone's goal is to be entertaining to as many people as possible so that they can sell advertising or movie tickets to recoup the enormous costs of production and distribution. While this might still hold somehwhat true in the context of talking about Rocketboom, it's not relevant to the vast majority of videoblogs. It's personal media. For the most part videoblogs are narrowly targeted to a small audience who I'm sure finds them consistently entertaining. They are not necessarily meant to be or try to be entertaining to a general audience. And because, unlike Rocketboom, an episode really only costs $20 or more likely $2, they can afford to be specific in what audience they aim for. To be clear here, I'm not saying that I personally think that every videoblog out there is fantastic (my tastes aren't THAT eclectic). It just doesn't matter whether I think of them at all. What matters is that they can videoblog for what ever reason they choose to - to keep in touch with friends, document their lives, whatever. That in and of itself is a powerful thing. They don't have to be everything to everyone. The beauty is they can just be what they are and you can freely pick and choose the ones that seem to be made just for you. There are already enough people doing it that I have about 80 videoblogs that I personally subscribe to that create more

From tiny video diaries to heavily produced shows. You decide which level you're going to play at. You rebuke Indie film -- and sure a lot of it is self-absorbed claptrap, but does that mean you only accept summer blockbusters as truly great cinema? Or do you reject all films? What I'm describing is way for people like me who want to be in show business. This is how to get to the business part using these tools. To recoup $150,000 you need to sell less than 10,000 DVDs. And with the other revenue models you should be able to break even even if it's not a hit, and be comfortable if it does strike a chord. -K --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Christopher Weagel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Dec 12, 2005, at 5:54 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All it takes now is someone with a little money and vision to really start doing it.

Look at some of the prior posts on here about multiple enclosures. That's like saying Microsoft Word has not been widely adopted outside of Microsoft. Are there competitors? Sure. Can it be easier for people to find and subscribe to feeds, absolutely, but right now FireAnt and iTunes use mRSS. Done and done. To the best of my knowledge iTunes only supports their own RSS extension, not Media RSS. Don't get me wrong, I like Media RSS and was pretty active when the original spec was being formulated, but it hasn't gotten wide adoption (yet). Video podcasting does not apply to products like fireAnt that allow the blog and feedback that makes a videoblog. You're right I did not address the interactive potential of video blogging. But Video Blogging is still a push media much like television. Part of the attraction to video blogs is the responsiveness from the creators of the shows to the audience. Emails and comments can be incorporated into the next show. Try emailing your favorite show now and see what happens. E-mail is the two-dollar whore of interactivity. Videoblogging is not a push medium (if it was it would not be blogging), and you have to stop thinking of interactivity as 'flying pigs' and Other Stuff You Can Click On. There are other types of interactivity. In the most basic form video is placed on blogs. Viewers click from blog to blog and connects the pieces into wholes. Doesn't work on tv. Here and following is shown how to fit into the current model of one way television communication, rather than the disruptive change of incorporating the ability of linking and comment response in blogging. The one-way non-interactive large audience broadcast model hasn't evolved, just opened up to more people with less resources. Yes, exactly. This opens up creation to practically everyone. I still think we're in the middle of evolving the model of how interactive the media can be, but I've seen studies and heard anecdotes that people want to be engaged and told a story -- the dislike too many options or adventures to choose from during an actual story. 30 minute videos don't work well on the web for a reason. The computer is an interactive experience - if you force tv on it it gets really boring really fast. Videoblogging isn't about copying the tv concept to the web. There are over 22 million blogs tracked by Technorati. People do want to create content that fits into an interactive enviroment and they do want to consume it because it is valuable. It's not tv, and if you try to force a tv concept on it you will fail. Adapt video to the blog concept and you will succeed. - Andreas -- URL:http://www.solitude.dk/ Commentary on media, communication, culture and technology. Yahoo!

What *I* like about it is that I *don't* have to do it the hard way! I like the linkubator tool ... but is there a way to make it just give me the clicky-tracks so that I can see how it was done? (especially the image overlay part) Linkubator creates SMIL files. They're text-based, so you can just open the file in a text editor (Notepad will work fine) to see what's going on. The details are probably a little bit too technical for this list. You can email me off-list if you want to know more about the format. It's pretty simple. But back to RB, yeah I like the clicky-ness of it. It would be cool to see a little RB rocket in the corner as a visual cue that the video is clicky or something. some sort of click me rocket. This would indeed remind Tivo viewers that there is a whole interactive thing goin' on at the website. Personally I would probably send a non-clicky version to the Tivo (with URLs shown at the bottom. Old school.). If nothing else because there's nothing more frustrating than the promise of a link you can't click. I just think of how annoyed I get whenever I click on a dead link. :o) One of the advantages of Quicktime is that you can have the video as the base track and then dump other tracks on top of it (links tracks, bugs, flying pigs etc.).

[videoblogging] understanding stats....
okay. i'm confused about the stats on videoblogs and am hoping someone can explain it a bit more to me. we use blip.tv to upload our media. on their site, i can view how many people have viewed each piece. then, we have feedburner as well. why are the two numbers s different? for example: on blip, one episode mov/windows combined shows over 2000 downloads but the feedburner feed only shows around 150 in a 24 hour period. even considering that there could 150 for 3 days running (how long it's been up for), it still doesn't add up to over 2000 viewers. this is where i'm completely baffled. can anyone explain this to me in layperson terms? thank you! share http://www.rocknrolltv.net Yahoo!

These scripts are then read and fewer still are made into actual pilots and then the best pilots make it to air where most of them fail to generate the 8-15 million viewers required to stay on the air.In the last year with maturity of mRSS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MRSS Media RSS has not been widely adopted outside of Yahoo. Look at some of the prior posts on here about multiple enclosures. and the wide dispersal of high-quality digital video production tools, video podcasting has exploded. For the new kids on the block, video podcasting allows programs like iTunes http://apple.com/itunes and FireAnthttp://getfireant.comto automatically download video content. "Video podcasting" does not apply to products like fireAnt that allow the blog and feedback that makes a videoblog. It's like signing up for a season pass on TiVo. fireAnt, mefeedia, etc. allow linking and response, unlike TiVo. Once you find a podcast you like, you can tell these programs to always download the newest content when it appears on the net.Again, this is only the distribution aspect, not the interaction and response capabilities in blogs. That's the groundwork, and now with this TiVo deal you can add that same sort of functionality to your television set through TiVo.Great. But how does that change anything? Well, it changes things because it gives TiVo an incentive to make other deals with indie producers so that they can distinguish themselves from the generic PVR boxes more and more cable and satellite providers are giving to their customers. Here and following is shown how to fit into the current model of one way television communication, rather than the disruptive change of incorporating the ability of linking and comment response in blogging. The one-way non-interactive large audience broadcast model hasn't evolved, just opened up to more people with less resources. -- Enric http://www.cirne.com Determine the Media It also will allow for a model where indie producers will have incentive to create longer DVD-length pilots for their shows on the cheap. Why go to a big network that's just going to shit all over your idea when you can produce your own content the way you want it and then take it to the network when you have built a following through TiVo and iTunes. If you can prove your show is being watched by a million people, you're getting close to what the average viewership is on basic cable.How will the producers make money? Subscribers, DVD sales, and small interactive ads for the people who don't subscribe. The subscribers is a simple extension of how people pay for cable today. ESPN gets around $2.50 out of your monthly cable bill to support it's programming. That works out to $30 a year and about eight cents for each day's Sports Center.If you charge people $5 or $10 a year to subscribe to your entire archive and get extra content and early access to your new shows you should see a fairly sizable subscriber base (10%-ish). It's important to not that you still give away your content freely on the net and TiVo, but you just charge a reasonable fee for subscription and you treat your free customers with respect.The market for DVDs is impressive. Sales of TV show DVD is very strong, and it costs under $2 to physically produce a DVD. Add the usual bevvy of special features and DVD only content and you should be able to sell enough discs to recoup your costs with a healthy profit.Advertising. Again this should not be intrusive. But a simple ad at the end of your content will bring in enough money to fund the project and not be annoying to the viewers. And this ad would not appear on the subscriber's content, this would only be for your free viewers.So that's where the money comes from, but where does the content

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Fwd: The Indie TV Movement is Here
Joshua Kinberg could probably address the usage of media RSS bettter. I have a feeling that the person misused the term Media RSS. I don't think they were referring to the Media RSS specification developed collaboratively by Yahoo! and others. I think they were simply referring to the process of syndicating media via RSS. Unfortunately, MRSS as a spec is not flourishing and I haven't seen all that much commitment to it even from Yahoo! It really shows the power of developing supporting software when it comes to propagating adoption. The iTunes spec is a lump of steaming turd. But because it is supported by iTunes creators bend over backwards despite the annoyance (there is very little in the iTunes spec that isn't already in RSS to begin with, or had started to gain traction because of the groundwork done by Yahoo with MRSS... reinvent the wheel much, Apple?). If Yahoo! had developed, or helped develop technology to publish MRSS and made that easier, then we probably would have seen more adoption... maybe we still will see this, but it seems to have been stunted a bit. -Josh Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Fwd: The Indie TV Movement is Here
However Media RSS wasn't designed to replace or embellish what we the public know and love as syndication and distribution (at least from what I read at the time, and from the design of the schema). It was designed primarily for the more traditional meaning of syndication, large media outlets pushing media streams to affiliates, which includes program guide metadata. Think broadband TV providers digitally pushing content to an affiliate station. I really think it was designed to accomodate both. -Josh On 12/12/05, Richard Bennett-Forrest [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Joshua Kinberg could probably address the usage of media RSS bettter.

[videoblogging] Teaching seniors videoblogging
Hi everyone, I've been toying with the idea of being a volunteer trainer for seniors who want to learn to use computers. However I'm not sure how much time I can commit to being a trainer. After emailing a secretary of one such clubs, they've suggested giving a talk instead on certain softwares (e.g. using photoshop or word). I would like some feedback on what you think of this idea? I've been tossing the idea around but don't really know how to go about it. Cheers, Joan http://rantingsofjoan.blogspot.com YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group "videoblogging" on the web.
