Re: [videoblogging] Local Vlog screenings (was: Weekly Video Conference)

[pepa]

i'm just in this moment making a dvd. tomorrow i'll project it in playa
ancha, my old neighboorhood here in chile. i'll screen local videos (
http://playaancha.blogia.com) and also from pixelodeon (something like 20
minutes in total this time). it'll be the first part of a videoblogging
workshop.
btw: one of the videos i plan to project is from a man in de neighborhood. i
asked some months ago on the street what he missed in playa ancha, and he
said: a film theater. "we had one, the odeon, but that's years ago". and
this neighboorhood has almost 50% of the population of the city valparaíso!
my idea is to learn people how to vlog so we can screen our own videos.

Interesting.  However... Charge WHOM? :)

I guess it just seems "backwards" when I compare videoblogging to
television work.  In television, a production company wants a show
made, so they hire people to work on that show.  In videoblogging, the
videobloggER wants the show made and (for those who want to monetize
their podcasts) wants someone to pay them to do it.

It seems like in the television senario, people get paid for services
rendered and bringing their specific expertise to the table, and in
the videoblogging scenario, it would be doing someone a favor to
'give' them money for what they're doing.  It's like how you see those
notices that some show was funded by a grant from whatever foundation
and the generous support of "viewers like you". :D  Without
philanthropy, lots of videos would never see the light of day.

youre talking about this projector: lumenlab.com
$500 with $300 bulbs (usually hundreds of bucks).
But i say be resourceful.
either the space you use will have a projector, or someone you know has one.
dont spend a dime!

again, play to the audience.
we'll all list a bunch of videos.
make a DVD out of the ones you like.
Press play.
enjoy.

again, the dream would be that people come, enjoy what they see, learn
to make their own, and then the screenings become all local
videosand lots of local discussion.

i was thinking about exactly this yesterday while having a look at  
the new Youtube UK site.
it's something i'd love to do.  i think it's the most effective way  
of reaching out.
the idea of organising it effectively and regularly in london daunts  
me, though.
like you say, that's the challenge.  i'll ask around for some help.

its difficult to attract people to talk about "videoblogging" (geeks

But everyone will come watch a cool screening.
Then they might be interested in joining in.

Ultimately, itd be great if videos were all local.

Re: [videoblogging] Local Vlog screenings (was: Weekly Video Conference)

[Kath O'Donnell]

video volunteers in india do this sort of thing - the community (usually
women!) make video magazines and take them to the villages and show them on
outdoor screens (usually) - so the videos can be seen by around 1 people
per month. topics are generally community issues & things people want to
share with others. they are on the net too but more people in the villages
see them at a screening as internet access is less accessible.
http://videovolunteers.org/

indymedia often have screenings also - usually activist based films/videos,
some have been downloaded off the net or distributed to other collectives
via dvd/downloads. same for festivals - arts/music/film festivals - small &
large.

also the pecha kucha nights and dorkbot nights sometimes show videos
(sometimes synced to music too). they're cool get togethers and happen in
many cities/countries & are for people to show off/share their
projects/work.

you can always hire a projector for the night if the expense is too much to
purchase outright.

also, at zine festivals/stalls and markets you can often pick up/purchase
dvds/vcds of people's movies. another option for people's videos if they
want to move past the internet. (it removes the vloginess though)

Re: [videoblogging] Local Vlog screenings (was: Weekly Video Conference)

[Michael Sullivan]

yeah i've wanted to do this.
every so often, i research the latest video projectors and read about
affordable innovative ways to pull off mobile screening events drive-in
theatre on the go...  rooftop events etc "bring your own video".

this would make for a great how-to video.  something freevlog could produce
to show how to do EVERYTHING from tech to event coordinating.  though its
not that tough really.

last week, the csa farm project (poughkeepsie/vassar college) had an outside
movie night featuring shorts about food, politics and culture.  actually,
these are the videos:
http://www.mediathatmattersfest.org/mtm_good_food/
it was great... done right at the farm and they provided drinks and deserts
(like fresh picked strawberry shortcake).  they just tossed up a white
background on a fence and used a projector and dvd player.

curation def would make things interesting, like pixelodeon.  i would
probably incorporate curators.

this might be a good thread to talk about video projectors and other
equipment to make these screenings as good as possible for a reasonable
investment.  I've seen low level projectors at $500 with $30 replacement
bulbs that can vary in quality (both how they are built and the input/output
specs) and i've seen crazy shit for over $3000 and really nice screen
products (though a good white sheet is often good enough).

any input on hardware?

then there's the whole presentation.  could just run software like veohtv on
a laptop, or actually produce a "show" presenting the videos.  it could get
really interactive.  submit/share curated video feeds.  if you can add in
internet connection, then that brings the whole networked meatspace to
fruition.

this is what vloggercue will be like again.

[videoblogging] Fwd: Looking For Bloggers To Write About Online Video

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Saw this on BusinessofVideo.com (via VlogRazor.com )...

http://blog.streamingmedia.com/the_business_of_online_vi/2007/06/looking_for_blo.html

An opportunity for someone maybe...

--- BEGIN ---
=Looking For Bloggers To Write About Online Video=

Ok, so I'll put my money where my mouth is so to speak. If you are
interested in doing a blog about some facet of the online video
industry, we'll setup the blog for you, drive traffic to it, promote
it on StreamingMedia.com AND sell sponsorships and ads on the blog and
split the revenue with you. All you have to do is blog, which is
enough work by itself. I'll even blog with you on your site to start.

We can get you the traffic if you can provide the content. While I am
open to all ideas, in particular I want to start blogs on enterprise
video, mobile video, webcasting and P2P video. I own domains already
like p2pvideoblog.com, enterprisevideoblog.com, webcastingblog.com
etc... and you can use one of them if you so choose.

So that's about as easy as I can make it. You'll get a login to
TypePad and can just blog, we'll do all the rest. If you are serious
about it, please contact me <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>.

Something about gathering a group of people through media screenings that

true.
i guess i wanted to keep it as easy as possible.
many of the videos played at Pixelodeon were pulled off the web...and
they played fine.
Im thinking we just start by listing a good selection of videos on the
wiki...and then its up to each person to download and edit into a
screening. we can all pick different selections.

in the end, getting the video is easy.
Organizing an event, finding the venue, promoting it...thats the challenge.
hell, do it in your backyard with a project, white sheet, and BBQ!

Good question.
I don't know.
The internet is so vast and there are several vlogs that have a big
following.

What might be cooler, but more work, is to do a sort-of Pixelodeon thing.
People curate an hour of videos and either they or someone else collects
high-res versions, edits it together and makes a DVD of it. Then we can
trade DVDs by mail or SpinXpress. And the curator can maybe make an
introduction video to put the whole thing in context. It's like Pixelodeon
to go!

The thing i liked about Pixelodeon was that we could bring in new
people because they just had to come watch videos...which then gave
them reason to talk to people. Helped provide context to all the crazy
conversations vloggers have.

what if we did local vlog screenings.
this group could help provide a list of videos from all over, then
anyone could hold a screenings in their town. Invite the public.

I know lots of little cinemas and media spaces would jump at a chance
of a programmed evenings of web videos.  Just takes a little hustle
and time.

The good news is...all youd have to to is arrange a venue (should be
free) and download the videos from the group's list (free).

once people see all the cool stuff being made, then they'll want to know how to.
we could use our wiki to list.

[videoblogging] Re: Most famous vblogger

[missbhavens1969]

Segmented fame. I like that! I'd rather 10,000,000 people watched
1,000,000 different videoblogs than 10,000,000 people watching the
same 100. Or something like that. My math is off-- just work with me
on this one. You get it, though, right?

I don't know what an STC conference is, but being known to 20,000 tech
writers is hardly impressive in the vast scheme of things. Millions
upon millions of people don't know who Ze Frank is. Or any of us here. 

There is no "most famous videoblogger". I imagine that declaring one
(or even trying to) on this yahoo group would result in THE longest
"define videoblogging" thread of all time! Feel free to have at it if
y'all must.

Personally, I mustn't.

hugs,
Bekah

[videoblogging] Re: Most famous vblogger

[Steve Watkins]

Maybe fame is very segmented these days. In an era where the mass media isnt 
quite so 
mass, and the rise of the long tail, there is less collective recognition of a 
limited set of 
people who are the megafamous.

Its probably easy to overstate such things, but I guess it would potentially be 
especially 
true of something like videoblogging, compared to traditional sources of 
megafame like 
television, which will have a very slow and painful decline (or rebirth 
perhaps), rather than 
their fame vanishing overnight.

The generation gap, in terms of certain elements of shared culture etc, has 
never been so 
big as it is now, Id guess? It wasnt like this when things like music were 
passed mostly 
person to person, folk-tastic. I dunno how things will pan out with this stuff 
and the 
internet, whether it will make everything more folksey and human again, whether 
it will 
send fame on a shrinking path, a race to the bottom where more people become 
famous 
but to less people.

Will we reach a time where it is accepted as totally normal to have a fairly 
small number of 
viewers, and everyone can still thrive on this, rather than the exception of 
the highly 
viewed 'famous people' being seen so often as the goal and anything else as 
failure? Easy 
to say but this then ties in with ideas about how much people 'deserve' (or 
need) to get 
paid to vlog sustainably.

I dont ever know how a question like 'who is the most famous xxx' can be 
answered. 
There cant be one definitive answer, normally. And with something like 
vlogging, someone 
could be famous for some other reason and then happen to do a videoblog. And my 
mum 
doesnt know any videobloggers, none of them are famous to her. But in other 
segments of 
society there are some famous vloggers. Fame eh, has anybody seen any 
videoblogs that 
say anything profound about the concept of fame? Right now Big Borther is on UK 
TV, ugh 
a bunch of people getting famous by being on tv, sometimes strangely 
compelling, 
usually a talent-free zone, yet people feel like they get to know these 
characters, creating 
a strangely intimate sort of fame? Either way if you urinate in the shower on 
big brother, 
you'l get a lot more fame than if you urinate on youtube. But then again the 
downside of 
attention may be felt as everyone youve every known are tempted by bucks from 
the 
tabloids, who wish to print all about your past in the papers. Some people do 
well on fame 
and others are destroyed by it. So perhaps Im glad it doesnt come easier to 
most vloggers, 
I would find it very painful to see some of the unfortunates whose fame 
experience led to 
horrors in their life.

[videoblogging] Macbook vs MacBook Pro re. wifi?

Count me in as one of those still deciding which to buy. But one thing not 
mentioned was wifi reception of each. Rumor had it that that MacBook wifi 
reception was great. Any proven tests confirm which is better?

[videoblogging] Re: Footprints in the Snow - New videoblog/documentary project - HELP NEEDED!!!

[Steve Watkins]

I like the aims of this project a lot. Would like to see more detail, 
unfortunately dont have 
the skills you are seeking myself, dont know if those who might, and would be 
interested, 
would also like to see more detail about the stuff you will be confident 
handling yourself, 
and how you've come up with that figure for budget, more details of the Sweden 
trip, etc, 
before committing themselves.

Are ou a student at the university? Perhaps you'l have greater chance of 
finding someone 
to help through the university itself, and the collaboration will also work 
better due to 
being local?

Alternatively, have you thought of trying to make your project part of 
something bigger, 
for example a site that encouraged other people to contribute videos of 
themsleves 
travelling in a manner similar to what you are going to do yourself? Or is 
there any form of 
inter-university network that could be utilised, why milit it to just the uni 
you are at? 
There must be some channels of promotion that are geared to the uni setup, and 
some 
enthusiastic members of uni's willing to help out?

I like all the sustainable-related vlogs and blogs and stuff that have emerged 
in recent 
years. I would dearly like to be a small part of some collaboration or 
community site or 
network of such things. I do not know how much scope there is for this stuff, 
how many 
people have time or interest in approaching that stuff from this angle, how it 
would work, 
or any specifics. And apologies if this seems like hijacking your thread, 
please disregard 
this chain of thought if it is a million miles away from anything you can 
envisage for your 
projects future.

As for how to raise more money for your project, does the money youve already 
gotten 
from the Uni impose any restrictions on other sources of funding, methods etc? 

I dont fly but I must admit that just like with driving (I dont and cant), its 
not just for 
environmental reasons. I never enjoyed flying and Im a chickenshit about it. 
Apparently 
computers are at least as much of a carbon burden as flying is, so thats one of 
the areas I 
have left to tackle in my own personal carbon footprint reduction mission. I 
was talling to 
my mum about going on a ferry and/or train-based jurney sometime, and I think I 
saw a 
programme about slow travel on the BBC a while ago. I find it all rather 
compelling. 

One thign Ive noticed during my 5 or so years of inaction, thinking and not 
doing, about 
sustainable and energy-related vlogging and the inevitable changes in human 
behaviour 
that lay ahead, is how far things have moved, not so much in terms of action 
yet, but it 
terms of how much the issues are covered in the UK media. 

For example things are already reaching near saturation point on certain 
levels. Its all 
farily superficial so far, and now we see a fair amount of non-productive 
greenwashing 
emerging, as well as some good stuff from grassroots, some companies, some 
larger 
entities, some governments. Based on what Ive seen, there is a real need now to 
take it to 
the next level and get down into some detail a bit more. There are a lot of 
humans who 
are skeptical, want to do nothing, or at least nothing that actually impacts 
them, but there 
are definately people who are convinced, and want to do more. They are already 
doing 
stuff that has been widely publicised or gradually brought in as an available 
service (eg  
recycling), but they dont think things are moving fast enough, and they want 
practical 
information, help and encouragement, do do even more, to go way beyond the easy 
and 
superficial things, without totally killjoying their own lives.

Well vlogging, blogging & other web stuff is already proving itself able to 
provide for these 
people, theres some great stuff out there that I tip my hat to. I hope its just 
the tip of the 
iceburg (no pun intended), and as I was saying earlier I hope more sites emerge 
that can 
focus these issues to a collaborative network of interested people.  I have 
made only a 
token gesture in this area myself so far, playing with drupal and doing a few 
shoddy short 
videos of how much electricity some devices use. If I dont do more than this 
soon then I'll 
find it increasingly hard to justify myself being worth the food I eat lol.

Anyway good luck with the project and oops for me waffling off all over the 
place as usual.

hey beth--

i like the idea of a videoblog showing "slow travel".
i assume i got to fly everywhere, but id like to be convinced otherwise.

youve been on this list enough to know that you got to do it yourself.
make a blog for the project, shoot and edit the videos, commit to a
schedule, raise money from the community.

In the end, im sure youll even have enough for a documentary...but
thats really out of the scope of this group. i think many of like NOT
having to think of long works. we'd never get anything done.

I encourage you to check out our new project: showinabox.tv
Sounds like your project is perfect.
we're pimping out a wordpress theme, plus customized plugins, to help
creators get help to do ambitious videoblogging projects.

The big highlight of the project will be the new Pledge Drive that
will let you set a monthly financial goal youll need during your
production. People can then use Paypal to pledge money in a one-time
payment or automatic monthly payments. We've been using an initial
version of it here:
http://havemoneywillvlog.com/2007/02/06/lives-in-focus-family-life-behind-bars

anyway...im a big believer in momentum and just getting started.
a little each day and youll do it.

[videoblogging] Re: Mac Questions

[Steve Watkins]

Cool, I forgot to say that I stuck 2GB of RAM in my macbook to be very happy 
with it, and 
also use an external monitor for doing stuff where the built-in screen doesnt 
seem big 
enough. I like how small the macook is, helps me to bother taking it places, 
but I must 
admit the 15" LED backlit macbook pro does seem a bit tempting, doesnt seem to 
weight 
much more either.

Just to clarify further on my earlier point, since I dont want to overstate the 
3d aspect of 
getting the right machine, or cause you to make the wrong choice...

If you think you might be a heavy user of the full Final Cut at some point, the 
Macbook 
Pro is worthy of consideration. In previous version of final cut studio, it was 
probably 
'apple motion 2.0' that would make the most use of graphics hardware, and have 
higher 
requirements for operating at a decent speed, than other apps in the suite.

Now with Final cut studio 2, not only does Motion 3 now do more 3d stuff to tax 
the 
graphics card even more, but final cut pro 6 makes use of such hardware to do 
the funky 
stuff mentioned on this page:

http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/finalcutpro/effects.html

So people who wanted to do that stuff or make use of motion 3, would be the 
sort of users 
that a standard macbook would probably not be enough for. By the sounds of it 
this wont 
be much of an issue for you but I just wanted to clarify that stuff again in 
case my words 
about 3D were misleading, as this use of 3d graphics cards for non-3d things 
like realtime 
effects & filters, has been gradually happening over this century, and now its 
used in lots 
of popular relatively high-end creative apps.

So maybe its hard to be totally sure about your choice of macbook until you 
have seen 
quite what level of software you will need to run to do everything you need to 
do. But if 
you are reasoably confident that final cut express is the most you would need, 
I gues the 
macbook choice is safe enough.

Cheers

actually that's what ended pulling me into the whole vuze world. They
host the file and keep the seeds active. Atleast from everything I've

All I know is that Joost has made me start searching for a way to get
high quality content out there. And it seems like the industry is

Hello Brian,

It's been a little while since I looked at the BitTorrent protocol,
but I'm fairly certain that you can track downloads pretty easily and
accurately using BitTorrent.

So, there's no problem with stats when using BitTorrent.

[videoblogging] Re: Mac Questions

[Laura Moncur]

Thanks to everyone! That really helped me a lot.

Since I'm not doing any 3D rendering, just straight video, it looks
the the normal MacBook with as much RAM as I can get will be the best
for me.

I'm going to try out iMovie and see if it's enough and then move on to
FCE if not.

Thanks again!

Re: [videoblogging] Mac Questions

[Kary Rogers]

Hi Laura,

The standard answer is: it depends.

If this is going to be your primary or only workstation and you are  
doing fairly serious production work, then go for the best you can  
afford.  You'd have to bump up to the $1300 MacBook to get a DVD  
burner and the integrated graphics card is not officially supported  
for Final Cut Studio 2.  It might run it, but I imagine not very  
well.  Add $700 for the Pro and you get

-a better graphics card (shared video memory vs 128MB dedicated VRAM)
-double the memory (1GB vs 2GB) with a higher capacity (2GB vs 4GB)
-(barely) faster CPU (2.16GHz vs 2.2GHz)
-more screen real estate (1280x800 vs 1440x900)

Is that worth $700?  It depends =) If you are doing simple movies for  
family and friends, probably not, a MacBook would be great.   But if  
you're doing heavy lifting with video and this was going to be your  
only video editing work station it would be worth it to me.

Only you can decide if iMovie or FCE is enough for you.  iMovie comes  
with it so try it out.  You can do a lot with iMovie but it is pretty  
basic.  I started with iMovie and after pushing it as far as I could  
I went to FCE.  Now, I'm really starting to eye Final Cut Studio 2.

Peace out,

[videoblogging] Re: Mac Questions

[Steve Watkins]

Good advice that. Ive only got the normal macbook myself. Specifically in terms 
of the 
nvidia chip, it really depends if you are going to be running any apps that 
make good use 
of such graphics power. Traditionally this has meant programs that use 3d in 
some way, 
although these days the lines are blurred a little more, because more and more 
apps are 
able to use the power of the graphics hardware to do a load of useful 
operations, rather 
than the cpu having to do them. So for example final cut might use decent 
graphics card 
to do some of the rendering of video effects. 

But CPUs are also a lot faster now, even in the much cheaper macbook, so I have 
found 
the normal macbook to be quite adequate for everything I need to do. I do like 
to muck 
around with 3D and games, so in an ideal world Id have gotten a macbook pro, 
but they 
are such a leap in cost, I cant quite justify it.

Cheers

[videoblogging] Re: Mac Questions

[Bill Streeter]

Final Cut Express is really very good and a good place to start. You 
might want to check to see if Apple is still offering the deal where 
you get FCE for $100 when you buy a new Macbook or Macbook Pro. 
Thats a really good deal--that is ... if they are still offering it. 

The biggest difference between the MacBook and the MBP is the 
graphics card which is usefull when doing stuff in programs like 
Motion where a lot of the video rendering is done by the graphics 
card. If you aren't doing a lot of work that requires Apple Core 
image processing then a Macbook with FCE will do you just fine. 
Apple says that Finalcut Studio isn't compatible with the Macbook 
but thats mainly because Motion won't run on it. Most of the other 
programs in the package will run just fine on the Macbook.

The MacBook uses VRAM that is shared with the system's memory, so I
would consider maxing the RAM on the MacBook. Otherwise, the Pro has a

a winner.

Rendering time depends on different things, the processor speed being
one of the important ones. Any new computer with a Core 2 Duo chip
will speed up the process.

Start with iMovie and see if it meets your needs. It worked great for
me until I wanted to layer video tracks, so I bought FC Express. For

I haven't done that with Dragon*ConTV because my webhost, like many out

I think it's a great way to spread content, but I am not sure if you can
properly track downloads from BitTorrent. That might be an issue for some

[videoblogging] Mac Questions

[Laura Moncur]

I am switching from my PC to Mac and I'm trying to decide if the new
MacBook Pros with the NVidia video chips are worth an extra $1000.
Have any of you noticed a big difference between the MacBook Pros and
the normal MacBooks?

It takes forever to render a DVD on my PC using Adobe Premiere
Elements and I'm hoping to streamline the process.

Additionally, is Final Cut Pro worth the extra $600 or should I just
go with Final Cut Express or even iMovie/iDVD? I am having a hard time
justifying the expense to my husband. Can you give me any ammunition?

[videoblogging] Re: Most famous vblogger

[Bill Streeter]

I think Markus was talking about Times person of the year issue where 
they named the person of the year as "you."

Are your friends familuar with YouTube? That's videoblogging. When you 
talk about things like "most famous" etc. Those are hard things to 
quantify. There are Videobloggers like Zefrank who is very famous in 
some circles but is virtually unknown in others. And he never did put 
his stuff on YouTube and yet the most popular YouTubers probably get 
way more views than he ever did--and it's very likely that few on this 
list had ever heard of them. What I'm saying is "fame" is relative. 
Some of us are "famous" to a few--which sounds like an oxymoron, but 
it's true in a way. But thats the world we live in now--even 
conventional definitions of what seem like simple things like "fame" 
don't really mean anything anymore. So what I'm saying is that your 
question isn't an easy one to answer. To someone not familuar with 
internet video none of us doing this is famous in the least.

[videoblogging] Posting Torrents of your vlogs / video podcasts?

[vveerrgg]

Hi guys,

Have any of you experimented with releasing higher quality versions of
your shows on the torrents?   Is that even on your radar?  I've been
trying to find out info via Twitter.. nobody is responding.

I recently posted all my episodes to http://vuze.com  and have had
slow but growing traction with it

What I did notice is that there wasn't alot of good content there...
and since we all are making content and trying to get it out there..
thought it might be a space to promote to...

right now i've only promoted the stuff I've put out in my podcast..
going forward I'm going to upload the higher quality versions of my
episodes so ppl can watch em on their tv etc...

thoughts? opinions?

btw. my show is the Lx7 Podcast (http://www.Lx7.ca/?q=episodes)

That sounds so worthwhile - my sister refuses to fly because of the

Just a thought for funding - if you work out which trains/boats you
would use for the trip, why not try approaching the companies to
sponsor/fund you? Would be great PR from their point of view and your
small budget would only be a drop in the ocean (excuse the pun...)

Good luck :)

[videoblogging] Footprints in the Snow - New videoblog/documentary project - HELP NEEDED!!!

[beth_tilston]

Hi all,

I want to take this opportunity to introduce my new 
project `Footprints in the Snow'.  Footprints in the Snow is going 
to be a videoblog and finally a half an hour-ish documentary looking 
at how to travel without flying.  It's mainly aimed at the staff and 
students of Sussex University (this is because I am getting a lot of 
funding from them) Though it's aimed at these people, my aim is to 
give it a much wider audience. 

The project has got three main aims:

To provide resources – I would like people to feel confident that 
they have the resources they need to choose not to fly as often as 
possible.  For example, the documentary could provide the addresses 
of invaluable online resources such as The Man in Seat 61 
(http://www.seat61.com/).

To inform – Footprints in the Snow should provide clear reasons for 
choosing not to fly, or choosing `slow-travel'.  To this end it will 
feature interviews with environmental organisations, slow-travel 
connoisseurs and staff and students who have chosen not to fly.  
Real facts about how flying damages the environment should be given.

To provide examples – Myself and a friend are going to travel to 
Sweden via train and boat as a demonstration of slow-travel.  While 
we are there, we will visit some areas of outstanding natural beauty 
and some green initiatives.

You can get loads more information at the project wiki: 
http://footprintsinthesnow.pbwiki.com and follow the action on the 
videoblog: http://ftprintsinthesnow.blogspot.com.

I wanted to bring it to the attention of the list, because if I talk 
about it then it makes it real and it is less likely to crash and 
burn.  At the moment, this project is just me, and it's starting to 
become obvious that there is no way on earth I can do it on my own.  
I need some help.  The biggest help that I need is someone with 
experience to act as a overseer or producer.  This is going to be a 
videoblog, but also a documentary.  I don't want the production 
values for either to turn out to be a pile of crap.  So, I need help 
with editing, distribution, a whole bunch of other things (please 
see wiki).  I still have to find almost £1000 (I don't know what 
that is in $) funding.  I will probably get another couple of 
hundred from the University, and then hit local ethical business for 
some more money.  I'll also install a donate button on the blog.  I 
need help with other ideas for funding.

Well that's it in a nutshell, I hope that there's people out there 
with ideas who can help me.

Thanks.

[videoblogging] Most famous vblogger

[oovooworld]

Hi,

Just a random question to throw out there as I was trying to explain
vblogging to my friend the other day...

who would you say is the most well known vblogger out there - the best
person to direct them to? I'm quite interested too!

Thanks everyone.

That is such a great idea! Respect to you for your work.

Any idea if there are any Greek language video teaching courses on the
web?

Well it's possibly a mac thing.

I took a look at some operator11.com stuff - the image quality is definitely
starting to (ahem) move in this field.

That is weird, I have been using the player on a few computers and browsrs
and they aren't crashing. They did upgrade the Mogulus Player and embed code
so see if it still crashes. It's now in 1.1 Beta.

How about bundling your vlogs into a series and setting your own price?
We're trying to set this up to fly at Kinooga. Take a look:

[Jeffrey Taylor]

Just out of interest, here's AFTRA's (American Federation of Television and
Radio Artists) interactive rate card:

http://aftra.com/member/interactive_rates.html

I am of the opinion that every time a videoblogger charges less than the
rate card, they screw things up for people in AFTRA.

Cheers,

[videoblogging] Best entry-level low light dv cams

[randulo]

Hi,

I bought a Canon Optura S1 last year and other than this one thing, I
think it's great for my uses. I like the "auto-backup" aspect of tape
(at least for a year or more before the actual tape begins degrading)
and also the non compressed video. This camera actually does decent
stills for the web, but the video recorded to memory isn't very good.
Low lighting performance for stills is as poor as it is for video.

What recommendations do you have for a similar-sized tape based DV
camcorders that perform well indoors? There are many photo gear sites
that compare cameras, what are your suggestions for sites where you
can see the same scene recorded with DV?

Re: [videoblogging] just say hi to everyone and introduce my invitation video
