[videoblogging] Re: I'm Paul from MySpaceTV
Hi Paul, I can't find citizen journalism on MySpace. I followed your link. Had to sign in. Got sent to the home page... From there I did a search for citizen journalism in the search box and found nothing. Then came back here and clicked on your link again, but didn't get to a page with any info on it... Can MySpace highlight citizen journalism on the home page? Can MySpace allow people who are not members the ability to look at content without signing in? Let me know how I can easily take a look at what you are doing with NBC/MSNBC... I'm interested, but can't see it.

[videoblogging] Did you see my 82 year old vlogging mom on ABC World News
Hi guys, Did you see my 82 year old vlogging mom on ABC World News? She writes all about it on her blog: http://mymomsblog.blogspot.com/ They did an 11 minute interview with her, and on the segment she talks for :20 seconds. They also talked to her about her videoblgging, I Can't Open It, and her Yiddish Class, but in the end they just used those vlogs as b-roll Check it out. The interview as aired and my 11:00 minute behind hte scenes is on her blog... Thanks, --Steve
Re: [videoblogging] what will be the impact of voter generated remixes on the election?
thanks brook! your comments are inline with the general perception of how the short form will impact these campaigns. while the crazy ones (like me) think that there might be some type of measurable impact. over the course of the elections (since we're not just voting for president), i'm keeping track of some stats to measure the impact of shorts on the web. while i'm sure the highly negative videos might show a noticeable spike in the American Web demographic, i'm thinking that the positive videos will sustain a candidate (especially, when the candidates ask their supporters to make their own campaign videos and the campaign will pay for it to be aired locally.) btw, our friends at Wreck and Salvage have uploaded a few of their episodes ( http://remixamerica.org/members/wreckandsalvage ). we hope that you have some time over the weekend to upload some of your political commentary for the world to crack. lo noneck On Thu, Jul 3, 2008 at 6:55 PM, Brook Hinton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: What do you think will be the impact of voter-generated videos? worthless free opinion: I think the only factor that will determine whether voter-generated videos (aren't they all?) or remixes will impact the election is the videos themselves, which we can't know or really even analyze effectively until the election is over. If between one and a handful of people create something just stupendously persuasive, if someone breaks open an issue in a way no one has considered before, or something else along those lines occurs, there could be an impact. If someone makes a clever but misleading or dishonest but virally efficient piece of dreck that is the equivalent of a brilliantly devious unfair attack ad, it might also have an impact. Unfortunately, given the bias toward short form work (and viewing) on the web, the latter is more likely, regardless of which side it attacks or favors. But I suspect most of this work, including some really good work, will be preaching to the converted, and therefore have little short-term political impact. That said, I would love to see the unknown budding Errol Morrises and Chris Markers and Negativlands and Bruce Connors of the world make some noise in this area.

Over the past few months, the team at RemixAmerica.org have wondered the same. If we look at the Obama campaign and search YouTube, you will find - Vote Different, will.i.am's Yes We Can, Obama Girl, The Empire Strikes Barack, and Baracky - just to name a few. Yet YouTube's term's of service has already brought down The Empire Strikes Barack and Baracky. (btw, you can find them at RemixAmerica.org - but ask yourself how many others are censured?) So we at www.RemixAmerica.org are publicly beta launching to enlist your input. Over the past few weeks, we've dusted out the bugs, washed the windows, and organized the furniture for a little 4th of July celebration. If you have a few minutes this weekend, check out http://RemixAmerica.org - I promise you a treat. http://RemixAmerica.org is the new home for remixers and video remixes.

Through our American Playlist, we make it easy to combine today's political debate with America's great ideas and historical speeches -- from the Gettysburg Address to Kennedy's Inaugural to Dr. King's speeches -- we give you the power to remix America's greatest moments. Check out our blog for highlights, http://blog.remixamerica.org If you are a remixer, we would love to feature your work. Upload to http://RemixAmerica.org today, and we promise you an informed and engaged community. If you are a citizen journalist, cultural producer, community organizer, activist, volunteer, campaign worker and have videos to share, upload them to http://RemixAmerica.org. We want to explore the impact of video remixes around America. We want to hear your voice and see your thoughts. Also, we have noticed that there is no global discussion list for remixers.

[videoblogging] rchive.org now has an easy upload page
From Dean at Miro: http://www.getmiro.com/blog/2008/07/uploading-to-archiveorg-just-got-easy/ I'd like to spread this news in circles where people need free, easy, and non-commercial hosting for media. Now we just need Archive to add RSS, so stuff hosted there will aggregate nicely For the record: Ourmedia is a front end of archive.org.and has RSS feeds. Blip also will cross-upload videos to archive.org as well. But it's good to see the Archive improve. Just click the upload button in the upper right corner and give it a whirl.

[videoblogging] Re: question regarding green screen and zooming effects
The way to zoom images and keep them sharp is to use high resolution images. Even if you zoom them, they're still larger than the video's frame size, so they look crisp. So basically, make sure that you're using images that are way larger than your final output video size.

I'm curious if there is a tutorial for doing this using any Mac-compatible software. The green screening is easy enough, and I'm guessing that he used a green or blue cyclorama to get a seamless background, which I found to be very cool. My main question is with regard to showing screen shots or video of pages from software like Photoshop and then zooming into them slowly, while keeping them sharp.
