[videoblogging] milkweed media design
Hey all you videobloggers, I've been running into several of you here at SXSW -- it's great to see you again, new city, new conference. Many people are saying to me how's the teaching going? and I'm realizing Oh, right, at Vloggercon in June, I was talking about teaching vieoblogging at Temple University -- so I got known as the videoblogging professor. Hm. Yeah, I'm not doing that anymore. Yes, for those of you who are interested, I taught videoblogging (officially!) at Temple's film school, and I have all kinds of resources / my syllabus / my students work online at: http:/teaching.jensimmons.com/videoblogging Please feel free to mine that work from those years of my life to help you in your teaching I like seeing the ideas and effort continue to have a life, even as I no longer place my energies on that. Instead, I've been creating interactive multimedia projections for live performance (Violet Fire: a multimedia opera about Nikola Tesla, and love conjure/blues, a filmic installation of the performance/novel by Sharon Bridgforth), and researching / shooting for new film (a feature-length experimental documentary about english colonialism / societal trauma, the personal impacts / injuries in our lives, and the possibilities for healing). To pay the bills, I've expanded my freelancing life into a business with a name, and launched Milkweed Media Design. http://milkweedmediadesign.com SO, if you are looking for a web designer or need some CSS help or want a fabulous template for your wordpress or blogger blog or could use some professional coaching for marketing your site... shoot me an email. I love to create beautiful sites that are beautifully coded as well. I hand-code everything using webstandards / strict xhtml / css positioning (if you know what that is). I've been part of the videoblogging community since late 2004 / early 2005... have lots of experience explaining complex technology to people who previously had never heard of it (and do for my clients all the time)... I'm a filmmaker who's used the internet to distribute films since 2000 I built my first website in 1997. I wrote my first computer program in 1982 (go BASIC and Turbo Pascal). I designed my first poster (of like 800 print design things) in 1989. And mostly, you can just go look at my work at the Milkweed website And by hiring Milkweed, you are helping to support an artist to create her own work, while getting her to help you create yours. Ok, enough self-promotion. Thanks for listening, and see some of you today and tomorrow at SXSW... and the rest of you online.

[videoblogging] Re: Search results return correct URL but..
Some of the links do the same thing for me on a Mac. I am therefore presuming that there are some bad pages on that site, which cause a redirect, rather than it being malware installed on your computer. I guess scriptologist gives free blogs to people and some of these people have put evil ad code on their free blogs, because they are spammers. Personally I dont like Norton Enterprise many of their other solutions because they seem to slow down the computer way too much and arent updated quickly enough, so I prefer something like Grisoft's AVG. And Spybot sd is a good free program for clearing out spyware/adware etc (but not viruses). But like I said I dont think you've actually got an infection thats causing this problem, I think its a problem with that site.

Hi, First time poster with a query. Is there any software/website out there that will enable you to upload to multiple video sites in one go? I've used Vidmirror but you still have to manually upload each one. Blip.tv is great at crossposting but, from what I can tell, will only crosspost to a blog and iTunes. I'm working in OS X. Any info, suggestions, etc. much appreciated bobby

[videoblogging] Question - what's best platform for community....
Hi guys, Am working to develop a new vlog - with extras - and we want to make sure it's community friendly. We're thinking about 3 video episodes a week, and the extras would be things like written reviews from guest writers, articles etc. Plus we really want to get as much involvement as possible from visitors, and this will grow with the site. I usually use Wordpress, but am worried if we put up too many posts, some good stuff will get pushed off the home page too quickly. Organizing by chronology only might be really limiting. Would a CMS like Drupal be a better way to go? Does it even work with vlogging? Or is there something more suitable? Anyone have any comments about Brightcove or Splashcast? I am just starting to spec it out, and while I thought Wordpress would do, I am thinking we may need more portal or magazine style. But I dunno, Any and all suggestions, or things to consider or watch out for, are welcome.

Steve Glad to know it was not a virus especially because you guys were nice enough to take a look. I prefer something like Grisoft's AVG. And Spybot sd is a good free program for clearing out spyware/adware etc (but not viruses). I agree on slowing down the system. That and turning it on and off when I use one of my programs, it's always been better safe then sorry. And the updates ... I have until recently been exclusive Mac and Norton stopped providing support. Next stop is at Grisoft's AVG website. But like I said I dont think you've actually got an infection thats causing this problem, I think its a problem with that site. Appreciate your trust and taking a look at the problem.

I've just started to play around with it and it looks promising. It allows for audience members to leave audio/video/text comments anywhere on an episode's timeline with links to external resources as desired.

Re: [videoblogging] Question - what's best platform for community....
Irene, Crowdabout take your Blip feed (or any feed with flash flv files) and create a profile on the Crowdabout.us site with all your videos on it. You can then use their timeline-based commenting. So you can't host on your own domain, though you can embed their player in your blog. Hopefully they will be releasing a larger embeddable player which includes some more of their cool commenting features. And you can subscribe to feeds of comments on each video. So if you were to use Crowdabout for stimulating your social chatter, you'd really have to get people to go to the Crowdabout site. Which would preclude the addition of text articles, etc to your blog which you said you wanted. I don't know if you've looked into social networking kits like Vox and Ning - i haven't, but they might allow you to do some of the stuff you want. Keeping content refreshed and not letting good posts get pushed out purely because of chronology is an old problem. I'd be interested to see what you decide.

Re: [videoblogging] OH HELL!!!
Sorry to hijack your thread. Horrible, horrible etiquette, especially if this was your first post. My response before editing was totally topical: joking about your spinning looking like my panning, and that we finally posted something 'good', but rejecting that because of the possibility that it might be thought that I was implying that your video was not. I also typed my entire reply before half the video downloaded; freaking cel phones... Anyway, sorry for the Seinfeldian aside, but I felt really bad about hijacking the thread, so I thought I'd comment. I'm not sure what the pretext was, but it looks as if you just started spinning the camera and let them do their thing. If that was the case it is interesting that the boys chose to express those things. It's funny how hackneyed rebellion has become. I also didn't care too much for the burst of violence. I guess this is just the hippy in me, but I really wish that were not part of their physical vocabulary so easily expressed and mimicked on film, and it was contagious. Standard stuff from boys, I understand, but it still disappoints to see how easy it is for violence to spread. I also found the peace signs juxtaposed with this rage to be interesting. So I guess your video led me to believe that things are just about like I thought they were, even on a mountaintop.

Re: [videoblogging] OH HELL!!!
I kind of figured that I was going to get the namby pamby label with the analysis. It is soft You can call them 'power moves' and all, but they were punches and kicks, and punches and kicks are gestures of violence. I think they are emulating what they see on TV: punchy, kicky violence, some irreverence, and thankfully they did something that is out of character on TV, and that is to speak for peace. I also really liked it when the camera stopped on the one boy when he was giving the finger. He looked as if he had just gotten caught. It was an interesting video.

[videoblogging] Re: Question - what's best platform for community....
Hi Irene, we'd be delighted to have you as one of the earliest users of the CrowdAbout site! It's early yet, but we already have some cool new ideas (thanks in no small way to contributors like Rupert and Scott!) such as adding images in posts. If you decide to give it a try, drop me a line using the contact form on the site: I'd love to see your content, and be of help with using the site where I may. But in all matters of creative uses for time-posts, I'll defer to Rupert, who is already distinguishing himself very nicely... Best, Carter Harkins http://crowdabout.us --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Irene, Crowdabout take your Blip feed (or any feed with flash flv files) and create a profile on the Crowdabout.us site with all your videos on it. You can then use their timeline-based commenting. So you can't host on your own domain, though you can embed their player in your blog. Hopefully they will be releasing a larger embeddable player which includes some more of their cool commenting features. And you can subscribe to feeds of comments on each video. So if you were to use Crowdabout for stimulating your social chatter, you'd really have to get people to go to the Crowdabout site. Which would preclude the addition of text articles, etc to your blog which you said you wanted. I don't know if you've looked into social networking kits like Vox and Ning - i haven't, but they might allow you to do some of the stuff you want. Keeping content refreshed and not letting good posts get pushed out purely because of chronology is an old problem. I'd be interested to see what you decide.

[videoblogging] Re: flash video
Hi Daryl, Not sure what you mean by using navigation buttons... In my experience, after testing the newest flash encoder (On2 Flix Engine with Sorenson encoders) used by Blip.tv and others, I have to say, I don't see any real disadvantages to Flash anymore. There was a time when the Flash video output looked awful, but it's getting to the point that I can't tell what's what except by the player that opens to play it. Oh, and the slightly smaller file sizes of Flash videos. Plus, there are a whole host of services popping up that make flash even more attractive for embedding custom players on your site, mashing up the video and adding metadata layers. Now, if only the portable device manufacturers would get on the ball. I'd love to load up a portable media device with a bunch of flash video from YouTube, Revver, Blip and others...

[videoblogging] Re: OH HELL!!!
I find it interesting that you saw the punches and kicks as violent, but not giving the finger. I think the whole thing is indicative of how so many people these days feel absolutely nothing at all, yet attempt to act as if they do feel something. There's a lot of weird behavior in videos that has no connection to anything at all. I'm talking about grown-ups. These were just kids hamming it up for the camera, and you kind of expect them to do anything when it's their turn to 'perform'. It's always interesting to get other people's perspectives on things. like how some people think squirrels are food. -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Ron Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I kind of figured that I was going to get the namby pamby label with the analysis.
