[videoblogging] Solar Video Kit project (beta)
I've been noodling around for the last year with designing rugged self-contained, solar powered, on-camera training, video blogging kit with off the shelf products. This has entailed finding the right solar battery chargers that fit inside, or glue to, Pelican cases that hold Flip type low budget cameras. I've also made a non-language specific training video for video blogging basics and devised a simple hack-technique for getting the training video onto any camera for playback in the viewfinder, sans computer. I'm really not sure exactly what to do with this obsession, except of course put it out there as a DIY project and see what happens!

Here's the DIY site, in beta, feedback welcome: http://www.solarvideokit.com Interesting project, but I'm not sure how practical it is. For less money you could likely forget the solar panel and stock up with 100 (or more) alkaline AA cells. Also, as far as I can tell, the Flip does not take external memory cards .. so that when the camera is full you have to upload the video to a computer or stop shooting no matter how charged your batteries are.

Re: [videoblogging] Video Editor urgently needed for Utopian Road Movie
It seems the title of project has invite such insurrection and I happen to agree with you Rupert. Seriously, this is the requirement: ...good experience editing feature length film/video, and have worked in both genres of documentary and fiction. You are open to experimental forms of film, collective working methods and share our anti-capitalist politics. Experienced in Final Cut Pro is required. If you can speak Spanish and/or French this is an added bonus as parts of the film are in these languages. Yes there may be someone for whom this is a good fit, though the odds are very long. I mean, how many have experience editing feature-length films? Wow.

Re: [videoblogging] Solar Video Kit project (beta)
Hey Caleb, I read about the Solar Kit yesterday. It's great that your project caters not just to the technology, but to the education on its possible use as well. This is perhaps the Achilles' heel of projects such as the OLPC. It's far more sustainable (i.e. long term) to move into solar, especially for third-world countries where access to batteries isn't just costly, but difficult. My only question is, if this is a self-sustained videoblogging kit, how are users suppose to know or have access to Internet-connected computers to upload their file? Internet cafes? This part seems missing, which makes me wonder if sending them an old Nokia camera phone with 3G connectivity would be more viable. :) Kevin Lim Cyberculturalist http://theory.isthereason.com This email is: [ ] bloggable [X] ask first [ ] private email locator: ╔╗╔═╦╗ ║╚╣║║╚╗ ╚═╩═╩═╝
Re: [videoblogging] Wireless Microphone
We've used the G2 version ($500 new way back when) and it is a work horse mic. It has survived nearly 4 years of continuous use out in the salt and sea - all we have replaced is one $18 cable. It works as is and the extra block connects to most wireless handheld mics and we have even connected this to my apple laptop to get much better quality sound live-streaming. It is a work horse!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Brief history of video compression
And I was just thinking, online video really doesnt seem to be suffering and kind of hampering at this stage. Wherever you look there is a web video show and theres more content every day than one can reasonably consume. Is there an area of web video you think is particularly lacking? Totally agreed. This is good perspective as we talk about barriers to entry into web video. There are more and more people putting the pieces together and creating online video shows. More and more people are posting little clips, especially when some crazy event happens. But I still the barrier when it comes to sharing/collaborating. Having taught a number videoblogging workshops, usually each person must find their own specific workflow depending on their computer, OS, browser, and camera. I can try to explain how to videoblog, but it is still difficult since there are too many if, and's and but's. I want the experience of creating a video to be as easy as writing a text document. Cut/paste, email and collaborate withe ease. The software is just built in like text editing. If you have a little time, this is a nice video starting to lay out the dream: http://openvideoalliance.org/why-open-video/?l=en Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://momentshowing.net http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Mystery
As I have replied to Jay on twitter, the project is still in it's early stages and a little more about the reasoning of it can be found at http://alpha.publicvideos.org/about Such a great project. Kudos. Regarding Chrome vs Safari vs FF3.5 vs FF3.6 and their support for HTML5 Video tag, they behave slight different on their interpretation/implementation of the spec, Safari and Chrome will autobuffer regardless if you used the autobuffer parameter or not, (and chrome will not display the controls until video fully loaded, which sucks), FF3.5 does not support the poster attribute and does not update/refresh the player upon changing the source element via DOM… among other small things. Firefox 3.6beta looks great though, and have an option to play in fullscreen :) Do you know of Firefix will eventually support the creation of a poster image for a video? Does it seem as if the browsers are slowly moving towards working the same? I had to tweak my code a little bit in order to get the behavior I wanted on this 4 browsers, and I still need to add the necessary flash/quicktime fallbacks in place, but overall I am excited with the awareness about the importance of open formats this new html5 push is promoting. Yeah, this is a barrier we need to get over. We shouldnt need all these fallbacks. So frustrating. Since Google bought On2, it would be huge if Youtube eventually using Ogg/Theora in html5 pages. It'd set a huge precedent. Jay -- http://ryanishungry.com http://momentshowing.net http://twitter.com/jaydedman 917 371 6790 Yahoo!

Richard Amirault N1JDU http://bostonfandom.org Thanks. My target has been institutions who went to pay for a kit, give it to someone, but get it back with video they can use for marketing themselves and their programs. I've been testing this with a college kid now. My thinking is that they will fill the camera, with good clips, deleting the rest, and then either upload to YouTube or some other service where we can get at them, or snail mail it back to the college. If they snail mailed it in the case, the institution's media folks would look for a good YouTube clip or two for the foreign exchange program web site and save the rest for the student when they get back for their report. The one student who's using it also loves the idea of green solar powered video in terms of being cool too.
