[videoblogging] Mike Hudack
Hey everyone, I recently posted a video interview with Blip.tv's CEO, Mike Hudack. For those of you who haven't met him in person - he's charming, well-spoken and on-point. I thought this list might have a particular interest in seeing the interview. You can check it out at www.pathbreaker.tv. Here's to meta-media - a leader in the democratization of media on what it's like to do what he does. Enjoy. ~devon -- I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets. Bread does not nourish me, dawn disrupts me, all day I hunt for the liquid measure of your steps. I hunger for your sleek laugh, your hands the color of a savage harvest, hunger for the pale stones of your fingernails, I want to eat your skin like a whole almond. I want to eat the sunbeam flaring in your lovely body, the sovereign nose of your arrogant face, I want to eat the fleeting shade of your lashes, and I pace around hungry, sniffing the twilight, hunting for you, for your hot heart, like a puma in the barrens of Quitratue. - Pablo Neruda http://www.karenscape.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Introductions: the birth of my videoblog.
Hi everyone. I've been around the group for a while, lurking, posting every once in a long time. I set up a videoblog a few months back but couldn't get the technology right so i went back to the drawing board - this time with Shane and Roxanne (www.barefeetstudios.com and www.beachwalks.tv) at my side. They've done a really wonderful job for us. (Thanks guys!) Now, we've gone live (www.SexWithDevon.tv - fyi - there's some explicit content) and posting on this list is like a Southern belle coming of age and having her coming out debutante ball - it just has to be done. My girlfriend and i (she's usually behind the camera) do a weekly show - although we posted a bunch of videos right away so there are a few shows already up. Honestly, most of the technology conversations on here are pretty well above my head. My real passion and interest is in behavioral technologies, evolution, and how the nervous system functions. Which is how i got into talking about sex. Whenever i did lecture-performances at colleges on co-creating reality or quantum hypnosis or exquisite decisions i'd get like 12 people in the room. But sure enough, when i titled it, The Best Head Ever i'd get a packed room with hundreds of horny kids. Anyway, there's no official introduction to the videoblogging group on the site, but having these thesis-long digests in my inbox every day for something like two years has been the driving force for me to get up a videoblog of my own and participate in the conversation and the redefinition of media. Thanks for the inspiration. And thanks to Mike Meiser who's been telling me to get involved for years. Cheers to you all, Devon p.s. I'm new to this medium in every way. I feel like a pubescent teenager and I have no idea what format the show will ultimately take. All i know is that i love doing this and i want to do it more. So, please, any and all feedback is welcomed. And if you have a link you think i should put on my blogroll, please send it my way. Best to you all.
[videoblogging] Re: another video contest: How Do You Make Safe Sexy (Planned Parenthood
Funny, i actually just began a special kids portion of my video podcast. I recorded the first one last night. It's about what it's like to have your hormones kicking in. I'm really blown away by how poorly our public education educates our children on sex and safety. Hail to videoblogging. Now maybe we can begin getting good information out to younger humans that are being blocked from it by educational bureaucracy or religious myopia - or both. Now all i have to do is get my site working so i can actually have this conversation the way it should be had - as a video. thanks for the heads up Deirdra. -devon -- Devon White Toward a full cultural climax c| +1.845.702.7151 e| [EMAIL PROTECTED] w| www.YumFig.com (m...) w| www.devonwhite.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Re: What Makes a Show Great?
Wow, this whole thread couldn't have come at a better time. After lurking on this list for probably a full year and being encouraged to get involved by Mike (Meiser) in the video conversation, i'm finally taking the plunge. And, without any experience in the medium, nor with coding, making video, using audio equipment, acting, directing or being on camera - there are just so many things to consider that i know that i don't know to consider and to go ahead anyway and just do something to find out how it feels. This is very cool and it's really great to have a community of people that are so passionate about it already deeply involved in the conversation - so i can eavesdrop. And now i'm working on setting up my own video, learning how high my production values are, and how far i am from meeting those values, but wanting to have the conversation anyway. So i've opted for what i now realize was a kind of complex videoblog format because i like how RocketBoom is set up. Then we had some serious over-modulation on the audio of a performance i did and then casted. And then we tried to make a professional looking background and spent like four hours trying to get it set up, and then didn't really have anything inspired to say, and when i did, our professional background fell down. Now we're using a black sheet. I feel like a teenager fumbling around with a bra clasp. This is so exciting! I love the wild world of video blogging - not knowing what the hell to do, and simultaneously trying everything, making decisions, realizing that my tongue shouldn't go that far into her mouth and hoping that i can recover quickly enough that she doesn't scrap the whole mission - that she'll keep kissing me long enough for us to be really connected again - cause i know that's when the magick happens. ...which is what a good show is for me...it's about creating the magick. Inspiring someone - just for a second, so that they resonate at the deepest levels with who they are most... The more engaging it is for the people i'm conversing with (whether that means fun, funny, weird, dazzling, quirky, whatever) - the more of a connection it really creates. And, for me, my casts are (or will be when they're working) a conversation, so a good show will be a good conversation and a good month will be all about how well it engages and grows with my audience - whether that's two people or two thousand. And ultimately, for purely selfish reasons, my good show will be about how many people walk away with something valuable for themselves - and getting everything that hinders that to be gone from my blog. So, as i continue down this path, carving out more time in my day to watch (and steal from) your videos, reading these posts, and realizing in greater and more meaningful depth what kind of relationships transparency, video and this group engender, i wanted to say thanks to Jay and whomever else set this list up, and to pay a little tribute to a group that is pioneering some significant part of the future of communication. So, thanks. Off to edit some video so i can post it when we get this damnable RSS feed working, -Devon -- Devon White Toward a full cultural climax c| +1.845.702.7151 e| [EMAIL PROTECTED] w| www.YumFig.com (m...) w| www.devonwhite.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
