I'm a bit embarrassed to say this is research for a final project in an information architecture class. The makers of a small, independent film focused on events surrounding a middle school, urban kid want to develop their original concept into an educational series -- but in a participatory fashion. They would like to encourage kids (likely through educators) to learn about film and contribute original footage. Anything beyond this basic concept appears to be the stuff of research and imagination. I though to reach out to the the video blogging community on grassroots projects that might offer insight.

Finding classroom appropriate videos would mean a lot of YouTube slogging through um, yeah, whatever... type videos. Start with skateborders and go from there. That is part of the key to finding content. What would the students want to see? After eliminating the first and second things coming out of their mouths you could find gems. The costs has dropped dramatically. Yes, still expensive for a school district cramping for funds but editing software is already on the computers for Mac and PCs. There are inexpensive web camcorders between $50 - $100. You don't need anything else but time. On the education vibe: The projects can be teacher initiated or as part of an overall educational program. Because kids are involved many of the projects are behind school district intranets. There are a few video projects that are on-line but tend to have older students as participants. It helps to look for the teachers as creators/initiators in order to find the projects or dive into the educational non-profits that showcase these type of projects.

Re: [videoblogging] Videos of Difficult Filming
Hi Patricia, We had this happen in Red Square in 2002: http://theball.tv/2002/blog/2002/04/11/dodgy-dealings-in-red-square/ The video has the Russian soldier asking me to stop filming in it. You'll have to click the link for the video, which will launch a popup video player. Bear in mind that this was pre-RSS and our first attempt at what would later be called a videoblog. shameless plug The latest videoblog is underway at http://theball.tv although the videos, because of the nature of the trip, are seriously lagging behind the text entries - and, of course, reality. Footage has to be couriered from Africa to LA, where it's being edited and will soon start to appear on http://theball.tv/2010/videos/ via http://theball.blip.tv/ /shameless plug Best wishes, Christian On 9 Mar 2010, at 18:34, Patricia G.

Hi Russell, On 10 Oct 2008, at 08:14, thegeekfactory wrote: 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. I have been to your site, and indeed it is a simple system. However, if it were simple to get people to give truly valuable input, then this format would have been an industry standard long ago ;) 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. Please understand that I don't feel negative - I'm skeptical, that's all. I have tried my hand at numerous interactive film projects (and processes) over the years and have rarely found one that produces as engaging an end result as a more traditional production. It seems that passivity is the preferred option for the majority of audiences. It could even be argued that it is the restriction of choice and access that piques an audience's interest. Celebrities very rarely hang out with their fans, for example. On a related note, I'm sure many videobloggers will confirm how difficult it is to get even close family members just to subscribe to their feeds let alone watch them. I dunno, perhaps there's something to be learnt from this. It's more than 20 years ago that I read the book, but IIRC, the protagonist himself ultimately admits the limitations of slavish adherence to the dice-rolling habit. I did enjoy reading the book though, and I hope you enjoy the process of carrying out your experiment just as much. Cheers, Christian

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.

Exciting that this kind of thing is possible so easily. You can only see it on YouTube - here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VtQg_LCq_T8fmt=18 Nice one Rupert - an entertaining example of what used to be called interruptible video back in the last century. Interruptible because it's only interactive in the sense that we choose the next narrative snippet. Unfortunately, when done poorly, this narrative form picked up the moniker irritainment, since the main attraction of video/tv/film is that we surrender our decision-making faculties to the film-maker and enter into a trance-like reverie - and the requirement to make a decision at each step interrupts our involvement in the film's world. As you probably also discovered, making these kinds of films quickly leads us to the garden of forking paths as Borges described it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Garden_of_Forking_Paths In my experience, this makes narrative resolution extremely difficult. Of course, many videoblogs have no resolution, so perhaps this could work for such open-ended narrative structures after all. Look forward to your further experiments! Cheers, Christian

Im not sure whether I should be trying to get a solution from wordpress, vPip, showinabox, or mefeedia. The vpip feed validates but with a few recommendations, the wordpress feed fails validation. Neither Wordpress nor vPIP are being kind to you. Neither is giving you a safe feed. By safe, it's generally meant (quoting Mark Pilgrim from way back in 2003) safe to consume with a browser-based RSS reader. Here are his recommendations: * Strip script tags. This almost goes without saying. Script tags can be used by unscrupulous publishers to insert pop-up ads onto your news page. Think it won't happen? Some larger commercial publishers are already inserting text ads and banner ads into their feeds. * Strip embed tags. * Strip object tags. * Strip frameset tags. * Strip frame tags. * Strip iframe tags. * Strip meta tags, which can be used to hijack a page and redirect it to a remote URL. * Strip link tags, which can be used to import additional style definitions. * Strip style tags, for the same reason. * Strip style attributes from every single remaining tag. My platypus prank was based entirely on a single rogue style attribute. http://diveintomark.org/archives/2003/06/12/how_to_consume_rss_safely Of course, few feeds do actually stay within these guidelines. If I were you, I'd dive into the vPIP code and strip out the onclick attributes because the vPIP script is not included - and as a result they are redundant. It shouldn't be too hard to alter the atom:link href either, although I've not looked at vPIP's code for oooh a long time. I'm surprised that Mefeedia aren't parsing feeds to strip (at least some of) these tags out, but FWIW, the vPIP feed works fine in iTunes and NetNewsWire here on my Mac. Cheers, Christian

Hi Charles, I think if we accept that the author's wishes can be expressed in a license, then we can automate it. I don't disagree with this - was merely pointing out how big that 'if' can be. I happen to see the noble pursuit of the general purpose machine-readable license as just that - a pursuit. Just look at the divergence of opinion expressed here to see how far we are from a satisfactory solution that everyone respects. Ultimately, machine- readability is also communication - and as I suggested earlier, that's what's lacking in most disputes. Christian Yahoo!

I'm a little ignorant of the way all this works -- just started and a partner is doing the technical matters -- but can't the video producer just decide to rebroadcast and point the RSS feed at an old piece of content, thus re-syndicating it? Sure, you could republish the same content on the same feed, but that's not quite what I was pointing out - my videoblog from 2002 has been and gone. I'm fine with that, because it was meant to have a beginning, a middle and an end. If I were to continuously loop the content on the RSS feed, however, people would be jumping in at random times. They might unintentionally start to watch from the middle of the story... (Aside: yes, my videoblogs do have a narrative that spans the episodes. This alone sets them apart from the canonical form that Rocketboom et al represent.) I've got round this issue to a certain extent by offering feeds which have a timestamp that is generated by my feeds page. If people subscribe manually using this feed address, then I can indeed serve up a feed of the archived content, based on the subscription date. A problem arises, however, with portals such as iTMS etc. They only have the facility to register a single feed address, so that option becomes impossible. My only option is to register the complete feed so that people can choose the video episode they want to see. Again one runs into issues - apps like FireAnt will go ahead and download all 85 files unless instructed to do otherwise! The above only really scratches the surface of why the current canonical form of the videoblog raises problems for many content producers - there are many others I'm sure, but these are already enough to cause me concern about the assumptions implicit in it.

I agree - well put, Ryan! One one hand, those paradigms have merit, and definitely help folks new to podcasting/videoblogging get a handle on what we're doing. But I definitely don't think we're specifically trying to do the same old thing -- many of us just start with the conventions and formats because we're familiar with them, because some people expect them, and yes, some people like them. Again, I agree - and this is why I've been arguing that video-blogging aggregators ought to offer a number of different ways of approaching the material. Content flagged through RSS seems so transient - there is very little emphasis on what happens once the content drops off the end of a feed. Archiving is one thing, but wouldn't it be great if we could re-run the video-blog/podcast? Current thinking of the way RSS aggregators work favours the kind of show that, ooh say, Rocketboom produces - but is not necessarily appropriate for a multitude of other types of content.

And though I was thinking multimedia, the path of least resistance with the current tools led me to a video blog. Nothing wrong with that. But it's not a multimedia blog. Yes, indeed, Josh! That's was exactly the point I was trying to make - although I'm not claiming to know what a multimedia blog is. At best, I'd say that I'm trying to explore the parameters - in the hope that, out of my experiments, and thos eof others, something coherent takes shape. Like you, I'm here because I want to be aware of the development of blogs with media other than text as the entry point to the material. For example, take a look at my post called Annotation. http:// more3.blogspot.com/2005/11/annotation-roll-um-easy.html In this post, I took an MP3 of a song I like, imported it into a movie, and used the titling capability (of iMovie) to present a textual commentary about the song that runs as the song plays. Sweet! It's encoded as video, so of course the search engines have no idea what's going on in the clip. Another file format would allow the underlying MP3 to expose it's metadata--when you search for this song or the band, search engines could find the post. Similarly, another file format could expose the text in the titles sequences that I used (as a hack) to provide commentary. And perhaps another format still might give some sense of the synchronisation of the text with the music. Some of the single words you use on-screen would carry far less meaning without the music that's playing at the time they're being displayed. I suppose SMIL was intended for this kind of thing, but it does not seem to have been widely adopted. The point is that if we were really building a storytelling medium, we would conceive of the building blocks in a different manner. But the video blog--as cool as it is--is only secondarily a storytelling medium. It's early days for all the varieties of the blog format (I read somewhere that, even now, only a small percentage of the population knows what a blog is) and it's my hope that exploring the boundaries of the form may lead to something that does allow us to tell the stories of the future in ways which go beyond the current hype surrounding one form or another.

[videoblogging] My hellos
Hi List, Okay, so now that Duncan has partially introduced me, I guess I ought to say hello properly. I've really enjoyed the energy of the group since I've subscribed - it feels like something important is developing, even if none of us quite knows what. My primary interest for being here is to find ways to steer a project that I've been involved with to a form more amenable to subscription in the way that video-blogs are. I struggle with the canonical video-blog - defined, I suppose by the current crop of vlog clients. To a certain extent, a vlog 'is' what we as viewers experience of it. A little history: in 2002 I 'kicked' a football from England to the World Cup in Korea and Japan. We kept a blog during the journey consisting of equal parts text, image and video in any given post. The project homepage can be found here: http://www.spiritoffootball.com The 2002 blog is here: http://www.spiritoffootball.com/2002/blog/ The 2002 'film' is here: http://www.spiritoffootball.com/2002/video.php What attracts me to the vlog form is the prospect of using it for future trips and the episodic films that get made during the course of it. It would have been great if client apps like DTV, iTunes and FireANT had existed back then. What puts me off is that those client apps do not do justice to the variety of media that can be combined in any particular post - they concentrate 'too much' on the video. I realise that statement may sound paradoxical, but I don't really want a single medium to dominate the delivery of my digital stories. I tend to agree with the view that all 'traditional' media have become simply 'content' in the digital realm. Moreover, a story can make much more creative use of those media than the 'one-video-per-post' vlog form and RSS2.0 spec currently allows for. I look forward to taking the journey towards that important something with all you splendid folks...

Re: [videoblogging] Re: My hellos
On 14 Nov 2005, at 18:48, Steve Watkins wrote: Greetings, welcome, thanks for the intro :) Cheers Steve - a warm and thoughtful welcome! The way I see it this problem comes from the fact that videoblogging is sort of using technology that originally caught on for podcasting. Yup, that seems like the root of the issue to me too. It's both the strength and the weakness of the vlog form as defined by video+rss. With the Spirit of Football, I've been looking after a video-blog for almost four years. It has 70-odd entries totalling almost two hours of video vignettes which were added over a four month period in 2002. As you can imagine, I've had a lot of time to contemplate the latter stages in the life-cycle of a blog - what happens to one when it falls silent. The Spirit of Football is perhaps unusual for a video-blog in that the story has a beginning and an end - most vlogs seem like Finnegan's Wake to me - beginning and ending in mid-sentence. To complicate matters, it's also episodic on a larger scale than the single post - it happens every four years. I've been wondering - how can I share my expired video-blog with other video-bloggers through the apps that they are (becoming) accustomed to using? After all, it *was* a video blog once. There is an RSS 2.0 feed available for the 2002 blog, but what's the point? It will never change again. I could provide an XML file with the entire blog history, but that wouldn't replicate the experience that I like most about the vlog - the excitement of the intermittent appearance of content when I launch my client app. Furthermore, nothing seems to resist meaningful searchability like video. All blogs generate archives, but I have yet to see any system that adequately archives video. I suppose I'd just like to see some joined-up thinking about the life-cycle of blogs, whatever the flavour. I think of podcasts again when I think of the possible workarounds. If I did a podcast I think Id be quite happy if most people were just gtting it via aggregation and the only regular content they got from me was this. If they want a fuller experience or to give feedback or whatever, they go to the website (after theyve learnt from the podcast that theres something theyre interested in in this entry/episode). These are good times in many ways. People have (sort of) accepted that a blog/podcast/vlog has a certain form and their proliferation is partially due to this emergent consensus. Which is nice :) If I was doing a blog that regularily made use of multiple entries per post lots of mixed media, maybe I wouldnt look at full content aggregation at all, just a feed without enclosures. My inclination is to allow as many different ways of accessing the material as I can - throw 'em all into the mix and see what emerges. I imagine that the RDF/RSS and other metadata specs will evolve - along with the capabilities of the devices and software that are designed to read them. I look forward to reading about many of those developments right here.
