 I've never stood in line for an iPhone or anything else before but I plan
 on
 at least 'trying' to get an iPhone 4 tomorrow. My limit on trying is going
 to be getting to the store two hours before opening. It's not likely going
 to be enough. I'll be reading a book on my 3G while in line.

 Of course, this insanity is inspired by our shared passion of owning a
 decent quality pocketable video camera and bare bones mobile movie studio!
 At least I'm not like the dude who started camping out 1 week ago. Bloody
 hell.

 I could have pre-ordered the phone but I was worried that delays would make
 it better to chance a walk-in approach. At first, I thought my strategy was
 vindicated as reports rolled in after the pre-order period saying that
 people who had pre-ordered might not get phones until July! Subsequently,
 confirmed reports contradicted that early news saying that some of you who
 pre-ordered your iPhone are actually getting theirs a day early, TODAY!

 If you're one of the lucky few who get a unit today or tomorrow you know
 we're counting on you to post the first video to the group. :-)

 Myself, I'll be going to either an Apple store at 5AM (two hours before
 opening) or my nearby ATT store. I can't decide which I think will be more
 likely to have a unit. Good luck on your own iPhone 4 hunt.

 Good luck tomorrow

Re: [videoblogging] Stock/Royalty-Free Music sources

2010-04-16 Thread David Lee King
For me, the primary source is ... my Mac.

I just use iMovie/garageband, and either use one of the royalty-free tunes,
or create my own using loops.

Not quite what you were talking about, but fits well, I think.

[videoblogging] external hard drives for editing?

2010-04-16 Thread David Lee King
I'd  like to move to doing more editing of videos and music off of an
external hard drive... I've used LaCie drives for that before, and that
seemed to work ok. But wanted to find out you amazing video peeps suggest -
what would you buy/what do you use?

Thanks!

Re: [videoblogging] Check week at blip.tv

2010-04-09 Thread David Lee King
Don't know about the partner thing, but I've been running my measly blip
account with ads, and have google's adsense and the Amazon affiliates thing
going on my blog.

It pays for my web hosting, and for buying pro accounts in all my various
social media endeavors - gotten checks from all three companies before
(amazon more consistently than the other two).

So it's worth it for me, anyway!

  I don't know about Blip, but as I've mentioned before, I'm a Youtube
 partner and I certainly make money from it, as I do from Google ads on my
 blog site.
  I'm not allowed to say how much, but it's not insignificant. Not
  enough to live off to be sure, but I've only got several thousand
  regular viewers.
  If you extrapolate, and my audience increased say 10 fold, I could
 probably do it full time and make a meager living.
  I know another video blogger who has roughly those audience figures, and
 he has mentioned that within the next year he might take it full-time if
 growth continues.
  I just hit my first anniversary video blogging too.

 It's been good to hear your past experience. I believe blip focuses on
 ads INSIDE the video (either pre-roll, mid-roll, or post-roll)...not
 sure if Youtube does this. Ive wondered if people are out off by ads
 in videos they watch. Text ads on the page seem easy enough to ignore.
 Is anyone here a blip partner?

 Does Youtube or blip make you sign a exclusive contract with them...or
 can you put the same content in both places to collect two checks?
 Just wondering how all this plays out.

 Dave, huge congrats on the first year anniversary.

Re: [videoblogging] Microphone hiss, need advice...

2010-02-13 Thread David Lee King
What hiss? Not listening closely, but I have the macbookpro cranked, and I'm
not hearing hiss.

Or make sure you're not sitting close to a heater or a fan, or other just
... room stuff that's making noise, maybe?

Basically, I'm not convinced that your hiss problem is with the mic - I'm
thinking it's more environmental (or the volume of the mic wasn't up loud
enough to cover the hiss - but then again, I wasn't bothered by any
noticeable hiss).

Hope this helps!

 Hello gang,

 I noticed a microphone hiss in the last video I made (
 http://bit.ly/dzPTGe ). If you listen closely wearing headphones while
 watching this video you will notice a hiss that is very annoying..

 The mike I used for this vid is Electrovoice 635A(B).

 I was wondering if anyone can recommend a hissless mike that is
 unidirectional (captures only the talker not the background) with XLR input.

 Any help is truly appreciated..

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Non-XLR hand held Microphone

2010-01-29 Thread David Lee King
Power to the mic - depends on the mic. Yes if your mic is a condenser mic
and needs phantom power, no if it's a normal dynamic mic (like a Shure SM-57
or 58).

 Your right, the camera has a 1/8 jack not a 1/4. I always get confused on
 the sizes.

 The bhp link for the XLR-1/8 adapter cable would work for the physical
 connection but don't I also need to supply power for the Mic?

 The H4n looks like a really cool device, but it is also bigger than my
 whole camera, doesn't really have the news reporter look and at $300 is a
 bit out of my budget. I'm just doing video blogs here, not remaking the
 Blair Witch Project.

 Someone linked to the AudioTechnica website but I'm not sure what they were
 exactly trying to link to.

 Ideally I would just like a handheld mic that plugs directly into my
 Panasonic TM300 that provides acceptable sound.

Re: [videoblogging] MPEG Streamclip Replacement

2009-12-13 Thread David Lee King
Cool! One thing that mpeg streamclip will do that handbrake won't is allow
you to edit the original video into chunks first. If you know you're not
planning to use the whole thing, it makes sense, and speeds up the whole
process.

But sure - if you're doing the whole thing, handbrake is a great option.

 I've finally found a replacement for MPEG Streamclip which I've been
 using to convert my final HD MPEG2 blogs into MP4 for YouTube and
 iTunes.
 MPEG Streamclip was painfully slow, taking well over an hour to
 convert a 10 minute 1280x720 clip.
 I'm now using Handbrake:
 http://handbrake.fr/

 It's open source, seems to have all the features of Streamclip, and a
 similar easy to use interface. It also comes in a common line version,
 and has Windows, Mac, and Linux versions.
 Has easy to use default settings, so I don't have to touch anything
 except the bitrate for iTunes (I use 250kpbs). And it does web
 optimised progressive loading MP4's too.
 Handbrake is about 4 times faster, giving me 10fps processing instead
 of around 2-3fps.

 Seem like a great upgrade from MPEG Streamclip.

  The idea is that a videoblogger could make a living from just 1000

  what can an artist do to escape the long tail?
 
  One solution is to find 1,000 True Fans. While some artists have
  discovered this path without calling it that, I think it is worth
  trying to formalize. The gist of 1,000 True Fans can be stated
 simply:
 
  A creator, such as an artist, musician, photographer,
 craftsperson,
  performer, animator, designer, videomaker, or author - in other
  words, anyone producing works of art - needs to acquire only 1,000
  True Fans to make a living.
 
  A True Fan is defined as someone who will purchase anything and
  everything you produce. They will drive 200 miles to see you sing.
  They will buy the super deluxe re-issued hi-res box set of your
 stuff
  even though they have the low-res version. They have a Google
 Alert
  set for your name. They bookmark the eBay page where your out-of-
  print editions show up. They come to your openings. They have you
  sign their copies. They buy the t-shirt, and the mug, and the hat.
  They can't wait till you issue your next work. They are true fans.
