Next best thing Jeffrey! But hardly the same, as you very well know. Thanks. Miguel. Fear not, Miguel! You can attend virtually, which I know isn't the same but it's the closest thing to coming. A lot of people just couldn't make it this year. For the Saturday sessions, we're streaming the entire event and will be using the chat as a projected backchannel. Raymond and I are also putting the finishing touches on the Sunday Vlogging Heidelberg session, and we're coming up with ways for remote participants to play along. Stay tuned. I'll be posting more information here later this week. And if anybody has any questions about Vlog Europe, please feel free to mail me or Raymond. Bonne Soirée de Paris, Jeffrey

Hi, I am in need of your help again. I was wondering if a few folks could send me (off-list to [EMAIL PROTECTED]) a general idea of the range of prices I might pay if I wanted: 12 five minute video podcasts created (one camera shoot, interview / head talking directly to camera type of podcast). Of there would be some editing involved, but not too extensive). Also the opening sequence the intro would need to be created which would be used for all of the podcasts. The opening would require more editing and some creative work. The raw footage of the video would be shot in one day (9-7pm) in your studio or on location (in a classroom). I do NOT plan to commit you to this price, I am just in the planning stages and am interested in understanding what would constitute a fair and reasonable offer for this type of work.

Re: [videoblogging] Rates for 12 vodcasts... Need your help...
1. 9-7 is an awfully long shoot day for interviews 2. in your studio - if that means a studio set up for shooting - treated for sound, lights, etc. - you should pay an additional rental fee for the studio. 3. Rates for producing vodcasts are no different than rates for producing any other video or film. 4. For a one-person crew doing this sort of thing in SF, expect to pay from $400 to $1200 and more for one day, plus materials, depending on the person's experience. Equipment rental is usually extra, and a ten hour day may mean overtime fees. 5. Same rates for editing. 6. As most vloggers can testify, one person can get amazing results, but two or three (adding sound and a grip/lighting person) will bump up the polish significantly if you can afford it.

Hi Lisa, Not quite sure what your intention is here. are you soliciting estimates for a project? Estimates vary widely depending on what you need done, and where you are located, at the very least, it entails a few phone calls to get a real sense of the job . I think if you are looking for estimates for a video shoot, then you should contact video producers in your area and ask them to send estimates. You can find many talented video producers at www.mandy.com thx, eric. www.choplogic.net

This thread may help you to see things from the perspective of the people you will either hire or how to price yourself doing the work. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/message/61522 You could approach a video production company for pricing. Your local phonebook is the easiest to research from. Look under Video Production, Motion Picture and Photography. On the web... A google search will provide a lot of info for rates and so you may not need to speak to anyone to get ballpark numbers. This approach will give you a pretty wide range of prices and services.

Of there would be some editing involved, but not too extensive). Do them yourself for free... visit http://freevlog.org to find out how. Whether you have a PC or a Mac, you probably have access right now to the tools you need to make a video of that type on your own. Also the opening sequence the intro would need to be created which would be used for all of the podcasts. The opening would require more editing and some creative work. The cost of getting an intro done depends on the amount of work you're doing vs the amount of work the person you're hiring is doing. If you're creating the elements and doing the pre-production and figuring out the script or flow of the video, you just need someone to technically make it happen. The less you're bringing to the table, the more you're going to be charged because it's going to take much longer for someone to make something up from scratch. Your best bet there is to have video clips already selected and stills already selected and titles already selected and sound bites already selected so the process goes as quickly as possible when you find someone to do this for you... Assuming you don't decide to do it yourself. The raw footage of the video would be shot in one day (9-7pm) in your studio or on location (in a classroom). 12 5-minute videos = 1 hour's worth of video. You need to script it as well as possible and practice before going to the shoot so you have it down. Assuming an hour for lunch, 9-7 is a 9-hour day, which means a 9:1 shooting ratio for a talking-head video. Unnecessary. Set up a camera yourself on a tripod or use a webcam/iSight and film the clips at your leisure. Use whatever editing package comes with your computer to select what you feel are the best takes, and THEN take that to someone to get edited. I do NOT plan to commit you to this price, I am just in the planning stages and am interested in understanding what would constitute a fair and reasonable offer for this type of work.

[videoblogging] Re: Live!
Yeah, lots of quirks in VJ software, and a lot of fun. Lots of non-live preparation required to do something amazing live. Ive always had a fascination with the idea of video instruments, with video being created and manipulated in the same ways as music; mixing, sampling, sequencing, and synthesizing. Online flash-based video mixers are a place to start for people just looking to dabble, theres quite a few but off the top of my head: http://www.onyx-vj.com/ http://www.flxer.net/software/ be warned that one infuriating thing about quite a lot of VJ software is that it often doesnt handle sound fully, as many VJs are doing visuals in time to music in clubs etc. Some software does output sound live, but doesnt record it. Anyways, now that flash is supporting h264 I expect we may see even more of these sorts of apps in the online world, and there is quite a lot of common ground between flash vj apps and online flash video editing apps, there may be great things to come in future. If I ever get good enough at flash, I hope to do something that allows remixing and resequencing of clips that originate from an RSS feed, so I could do some strange remixes of my blog archive. Not sure if this will work, but it will be fun to experiment. Anyway thats drifting away from the topic of doing video live, it just uses some of the same tools as some live video performers might.

And so much interesting stuff in between. IT's kind of hard to point to resources about performance cinema generally because there are so many types, and they each have their own independent culture, dialog, community, etc. As for software programs allowing one to mix and edit live, there are oodles of them, but as the VJ market drives them they often have infuriating limitations (along with amazing possibilities) - for example, I use modul8 quite a bit, chosen primarily for image quality and speed, but in order to get a clip to play once and then stop not on a freeze frame but end on black I have to either make a special version of it with a black frame at the end or be very quick with a fader or button on a midi controller.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Live!
A tip for anyone who starts to explore the non-flash software: use photo-jpeg (at 75% or higher quality) as the codec for the video files. Frame-based codecs are much easier on the processor, and photo-jpeg (though some prefer apple motion jpeg A or B) has emerged as a good balance between performance and quality. Temporally compressed codecs don't work too well, and h.264 is particularly tough for more than a stream or two. I hate the banding photo-jpeg creates but there isn't a viable alternative yet. If you like programming or scripting, the two most popular choices for building your own setup are Max/MSP/Jitter (www.cycling74.com) and Isadora (don't have the URL handy - it's marketed by a live performance group that uses it in their performances). Some contemporary live-cinema performers who come to mind that you may want to explore: Sue Costabile Miranda July Laurie Anderson Nate Boyce Zoe Beloff Wet Gate Scott Arford Nate Boyce Potter-Belmar Labs/Future Worker Girl There are also many theater and dance companies doing really interesting things with live video.

The device builds on the existing know-how attained through the development of CDs and DVDs, extending it so as to write layers upon layers of stacked information. This quantum leap in storage capacity (viz., equivalent to 200 DVDs on a single disc) will allow it to offer a unique and exceptional solution for the personal video recording, high-resolution TV, and archiving markets. The product itself will look and behave very much like the familiar removable optical devices; the disc itself is 12cm in diameter and made out of an inexpensive translucent polymer.
[videoblogging] Re: Live!
Oh I cant stop waffling on this topic, just a few more things: Live video can be incorporated into the mix. So you can have a ombination of live feeds from 1 or more cameras, and pre-recorded clips, mixed together in various ways, with various effects. Can be used for anything from crowd shots to a theatre group using such things for live special effects with clever use of screens projection. Live puppetry is another fascinating field that has yet to get far on an affordable level. Fairly crude avatars in virtual worlds, and other forms of machinima are currently whats accessible to people, but there are some limitations, a lot usually isnt done live. There are a few people working on affordable realtime 3d model control, but this stuff geets complex, fast, I have lost years of my life trying to explore the 3d aspects of realtime visuals, and largely failed. (Pilgrim 3D R2 and Touch Designer would be examples of realtime 3D apps, windows only unfortunately). The idea that Ive had i my head for years, and not been able to get close to yet, is to make vlogs using realtime tools to keep the process fast, try to get 80% there live and not have to do too much post production. Show would involve 3d characters in scenes that are setup beforehand and reused, with some of the animation being pre-done and some being controlled live. Live video, or video clips, would be mapped onto the 3d characters face. At this rate I'll achieve this goal by 2045 ;) Meanwhile on a much simpler and more accessible level, I seem to recall seeing a Steve Jobs Leopard preview where they've added various realtime effects to iChat, which could be the start of something interesting or may remain a limited novelty.

Re: [videoblogging] Live!
Thanks Brook, I will both programs you mentioned Mark Brook Hinton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Live Cinema has a long and rich history. Currently there are many filmmakers who perform, to one extent or another, their works live, in forms ranging from performance/theater incorporating film (Miranda July probably being the most generally known) to VJs and related laptop-virtuosos to multi-projector performance using actual film. And so much interesting stuff in between. IT's kind of hard to point to resources about performance cinema generally because there are so many types, and they each have their own independent culture, dialog, community, etc. As for software programs allowing one to mix and edit live, there are oodles of them, but as the VJ market drives them they often have infuriating limitations (along with amazing possibilities) - for example, I use modul8 quite a bit, chosen primarily for image quality and speed, but in order to get a clip to play once and then stop not on a freeze frame but end on black I have to either make a special version of it with a black frame at the end or be very quick with a fader or button on a midi controller. And no timecode-accurate markers, blah blah blah... but this type of software is getting better by the minute. VDMX5 is currently in public beta and looks VERY promising: www.vidvox.net Brook ___ Brook Hinton film/video/audio art www.brookhinton.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] - Park yourself in front of a world of choices in alternative vehicles.

Thanks Steve, I've saved all the emails from this thread for future resource Mark overlander.tv Steve Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Ahh I remembered what I was thinking of, its not online but rather an app: http://www.neuromixer.com/product-avdrum.php# I recommend watching the demo video on that page to get an idea of just one possible technique, in this case with clips of video treated like audio samples, and then sequenced or triggered live using midi equipment, or both. The control aspect of a VJ setup is interesting. A lot of software supports midi, so we are talking about lots of interesting audio hardware, from keyboards to drum machines to sequencers,. Game controllers can be setup to send midi instead, so you could use steering wheels, joysticks, wii controllers, etc. Or just a keyboard and mouse. Brook's advice about formats is very good, depending on what you are trying to do, this stuff can take a lot of power, so optimising clips to be used live is an important part of the art.

[videoblogging] Re: Live!
around the 27/8/07 Steve Watkins mentioned about [videoblogging] Re: Live! that: Ive always had a fascination with the idea of video instruments, with video being created and manipulated in the same ways as music; mixing, sampling, sequencing, and synthesizing. David Wolf (who has just submitted his Master's here at RMIT) has made 'vidgets' that he conceives of as video instruments. all of his stuff has been available online (the more recent ones are all made using Quartz Composer and then XTools to add an interface and make them cocoa apps).

[videoblogging] flash h264 3D test
Ive been messing around with papervision3d stuff for flash. This rather pointless demo will only run if you have the flash beta player installed, as the video is a h264, and it will probably use too much cpu: http://www.unquack.com/testing3d.html It uses the same 960x540 h264 video as my previous tests, though performance is way down due to the 3d stuff. I am going to experiment to see if there is a useful way to use a little 3D when making a flash vlog/blog viewer, well thats the plan anyway, I have to learn flash actionscript from near scratch so this project will probably take me too long, lets see if I stick to it for once.
