Re: [videoblogging] who is waiting in line tomorrow for a new iPhone?
not waiting in line, I don't think, but I'll probably order one online in a week or two, afteer I drool over iMovie for the iphone for a little bit :-) David Lee King davidleeking.com - blog davidleeking.com/etc - videoblog twitter | skype: davidleeking On Wed, Jun 23, 2010 at 10:57 AM, Julian Seery Gude jul...@exceler8.comwrote: 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.

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

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

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
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).

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. - C. Thomas [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] MPEG Streamclip Replacement
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.

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. Dave.

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. http://tinyurl.com/32zzlp [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
