[videoblogging] Re: Introducing a new concept in feature film blogging
Did you visit the blog? It's very simple I give people three choices and they vote. Having a lot of production experience I have a plan which I'm certain will work. If you're interested then I'd advise subscribing to the blog to see how it progresses.

We've put that idea into overdrive. I hope you will join us? Or perhaps you can advise us on how to reach our targets?

We're all forced into HD. But now with this 21.1 megapix Canon shooting HD, it becomes really something. Anyone any comments on this quite exciting camera? That small it offers really new ways of shooting, and imagine what happens if you put a professional lens on it. Shout it out!

[videoblogging] Re: Introducing a new concept in feature film blogging
Hi Christian, I expect there will be a lot of sceptics... The project wouldn't be successful without them. I suspect you haven't been to the blog because it's simply a course of multiple choice questions in order to format the script then the subscribers get to choose from three possible candidates for each part of member of the cast etc. It's really quite simple. As for the theme of the film (it's central issue), we are actually voting on that now. Why not subscribe and have your say? You'll see that there are three provocative choices to make. Also the dice man the book is all about leaving choice and decision to the roll of the dice. So all in all I don't identify with your scepticism and am sure that with a little more knowledge you'll feel more positive. Thanks for you comments.

I don't mean to pour cold water on this as a production methodology, but I suspect that one of the narrative pleasures of feature film is precisely that the audience is *not* involved in its creation, that they derive pleasure from abandoning themselves to a narrative crafted by someone skilled in doing so. A great film starts with having something to say. This is not to say that I don't think your idea will work (and indeed I don't think my opinion has consequence for the videoblog format either) but I am skeptical that it will work in the way that you think. Good luck with it nonetheless, and I'll be interested to see how it progresses. Christian
Re: [videoblogging] Canon EOS 5D Mark II
The QT list I'm on, is getting some excited reaction: == BIG GIANT WOW!!! Harry you don't even know the half of it This camera has caused such a stir around the world in a matter of a couple of days that CANON had to shut down the HD Streaming samples because it exceeded their servers. The footage samples (if you can find any) are RAW from the camera with no color grade. Straight QT encodes to H.264. This will tip the scales of power into the hands of the creative. The body is $2700 then you and start snapping on some great Canon lenses. For the first time true depth-of-field in an affordable HD VIDEO CAMERA. AND I QUOTE as seen on the canon site: DUE TO HIGH DEMAND OF VIDEO CLIPS WE HAVE EXCEEDED OUR DOWNLOAD CAPACITY.

that's my favorite quip from a friend describing our work. anybody remember Al Goldstein from Screw Magazine? i worked for Midnight Blue way back in 1980 for a month or so, was hired to'co- direct' after alex bennet left. seems the other 'co-director' was not consulted on this, i didn't last long. anyway, al, to whom anyone who is showing anything anyone else might find objectionable owes a debt given his First Amendment victory, al is destitute and looking for work.

Re: [videoblogging] Canon EOS 5D Mark II
I'm really excited about it. Have you seen this video, by Vincent Laforet, shot using the Canon EOS 5D MKII DSLR? http://blog.vincentlaforet.com/2008/09/22/without-further-ado-reverie/ He has some nice lenses on there. Apparently, it has a Mic In. So perhaps you'd be able to mount a Rode videomic on the top - you'd definitely be able to feed in a lapel mic. Also out is the Nikon D90 which shoots 24fps 720P. No Mic In. Christian Payne at http://ourmaninside.org has just got one and will be vlogging with it, so you can check it out there. Meanwhile, here's a Gizmodo sample of D90 video: http://tinyurl.com/3vpoxm If I had the money...

Re: [videoblogging] Canon EOS 5D Mark II
That should have been http://ourmaninside.com/ not .org and if I'd visited before linking, I'd not only have got the URL right but I'd have seen that his D90 video review is already up. Pretty impressive, since I think he only got it yesterday. Here's the review: http://ourmaninside.com/2008/10/10/nikon-d90-video-test/ He's not part of this list, which is a shame because he's a pretty amazing guy - you may know him as Documentally from Seesmic or Twitter or Qik. He's a professional citizen journalist and photographer in England. Worth subscribing to. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv On 10-Oct-08, at 9:35 AM, Rupert wrote: I'm really excited about it.
