Re: [videoblogging] Forum software.

2008-08-22 Thread Jay dedman
 So I'm wondering if anybody knows which open source forum software I
 should be using to run a private forum. Ideally, I'd like to
 pre-approve email addresses, so there isn't much hassle to sign up for
 friends. But if I don't know you, then you get hassled.

its not open source, but i really like http://www.lefora.com/ because
its so easy to set up an old school forum.
Making it private is easy.
The guys that make it (the Meebo dudes) are good in my book.
always respond to questions through their support.

As Adam said, Wordpress has several open source options if you dont
mind installing stuff on your own server.
we use bbPress.org for http://showinabox.tv/forum.
like wordpress, you just install free plugins and themes that are
available online.

Interesting because many of us have always imagined that younger

Seems that CBS is using Wordpress(I think) to create their different

[videoblogging] Re: CBS videoblogs

2008-08-22 Thread Bill Cammack
Interesting (if you're into those kind of behind-the-scenes-ish
shows), well done and EXPENSIVE.

I watched episode 10.  Towards the end, one of the actors throws this
lamp and the camera spins to show where it landed and you can see the
boom operator AND the second cameraman.  So that's at least three crew
members and two actors being paid for every minute they filmed that. 
Not to mention, that's the guy from Superbad, so he's obviously in
whatever union.  Also, pre-production, direction, editing, etc.

I like the format, although internet-wise, I could have stood for that
episode to have been THREE episodes because it's so slow, but if you
can get people interested in the behind-the-scenes lives of your
characters, I can see shows of this type being the next step in both
the evolution of youtubeish I'm sitting in front of my webcam
talking videos and the 'descent' of MSM into the web video space.

[videoblogging] pouringdown on PBS?

2008-08-22 Thread pouringdownpix
hi all

i certainly don't have the one to five million views per video of some
of my esteemed list-mates. or the costumes. and sadly, i don't try for
more than one emotion at a time. that's hard. sometimes, though, i try
to show exactly what i'm thinking. very briefly. and sometimes, when
i'm sort of lucky, it works. and this has given me great happiness. 

and sometimes in that happiness i remember the revolution at the heart
of this stuff. put out in the world what you wish to see. consume what
you wish to consume. if you wish to emulate other media forms, if you
wish to simply make homemade versions of the stuff that's already out
there, more power to you. but, i have a suspicion there's something
more interesting to get at. 

which brings us, finally, to the point. i'm trying to get at
something. and it might make it onto pbs here in new york. 

so go here

and if you like it (some of you know it already) please vote. and
maybe, just maybe, this tiny video will elbow its way onto the

 Likewise I don't edit as I want to keep the limited picture quality as

[videoblogging] Use WGBH's b-roll for your election video

2008-08-22 Thread WGBH Lab
Hey everyone,

I know there are a lot of folks on this list who seem to be working on
politically-themed content, so I wanted to let you know about
something I've been working on that might help you all out a bit.

I work for WGBH, the PBS station that makes Nova  Frontline. For the
past month or so I've been pulling footage from the WGBH Archives --
stuff that's related to the election, like b-roll of Washington DC and
election newsreel footage -- and I've been digitizing it and
categorizing it and whatnot. Anyway, now it's all online in high
quality (640x480) and free to download from the WGBH Lab website. It's
available under a Creative Commons license so you can't sell it or
anything you make with it, but you can do pretty much anything else.

http://lab.wgbh.org/sandbox/election

Anyway, I just thought that might help out! This is only a small
sampling of our Sandbox of many different types of clips, but this
just seemed especially relevant right now. OH and let us know if you
make anything cool!
