Re: [videoblogging] Streamy disaster
very sweet! rox is a powerhouse for sure! as usual we have a fundamental divide, which is that no matter what we do, things cost money. right now, its very difficult to raise money from companies unless they feel they are going to get a return for their money. clearly, they thought they were going to get a bang for their buck in LA with celebrities involved,etc. based on last year's event, they should have since it's expected that a 2nd yr event is usually an improvement upon the first. the types of successful events i see being organized right now, like my friend Brian Zisk who does the MusicTech summit, are ones with good sponsors and panels, etc. Brian is doing one in 2 weeks called The Future of Money in SF. I think as far as online video goes, I can't offer a sponsor right now any quick or easy or flashy answers, since the road to happy destiny in our case is a slow and trudging one of just doing one episode at a time, like ROX has been doing and all of us here. We can offer everyone an enteraining community event where we recognize each other's achievements and talents, dress up and have a hell of a party. But that's what I've been saying since 2006.

Mark: Disrespecting the audience is a clear problem, I agree. If you are going to make it R-rated, it's your choice, though you better pre- announce that. As a group, internet video has so much potential. But many of those who are inspired to take the lead on these things also seem to have serious issues with maturity and basic event promotion competence. I produced a podcamp here in 2008 - over 400 attended live and thousands more via livestream. There were no streakers or swear words and wow what a great time we had! Aunties were blogging by the end of the 2 days and our tag hit #1 on Twitter and Flickr - from a big crowd of newbies. We did no traditional marketing or advertising - all via social networks and WOM. So I know this can all be done using the tools we love and sharing the ideas we know are relevant and in demand. I detached from being part of the in crowd years ago, both because of the geographical isolation in Hawaii (I just can't drop in to the LA and NYC meetings and those crowds seem to forget there are others who don't show up in the F2F events) as well as not fitting in one of the mainstream categories. Surely our 4+ years, 760 episodes, nearly 3 M views, and literally saving a few lives has a place somewhere? :-) Often a big fail can open things up for enlightenment. I'm putting my vote in that direction. Now, onto brighter and happier thoughts!

The meat of the matter is that it showed the Hollywoodyist of the Hollywoodys, not the best web video. It was about commercial success and not creativity.

From all of the documentation and promotion I've seen this was their main purpose, and in that way they were successful. I'm an IAWTV member and voted for the streamys, tried to shift the focus ever so slightly toward creativity and away from mindless tv wannabe bullshit.

It will be *good* for the profile of web video, not bad. ...controversy drives box office success, mass media interest and general awareness. Hi Rupert: Just a few thoughts... There is a difference between manufacturing controversies, and playing off organic substance that happens to be controversial. The former has proven disastrous time and again, in part, because an audience knows when it's being manipulated -- played cheaply (and consequently react in the negative, sooner or later). Moreover, CREATING controversy for the sake of attention is no less a tactic used by countless street walkers -- and look how well THEY are respected from an industry standpoint. This begs the question: how do we in web media (collectively) wish to have the public and advertisers perceive our work? As credible and substantive, offering content unavailable elsewhere? Or as attention whores who will stoop to depths to attract eyes, with antics better suited for mud wrestling and porn wanna-bes rather than garnering profitability? 911 jokes... Mother Teresa jabs... (Chris Hardwick:) I have a finger in my ass. I am so looking forward to mouth herpes. Idiots pull pants down... And the hits just kept on comin, and coming and coming some more! ...controversy drives box office success, mass media interest and general awareness. Yet this year's Streamys did none of that, not even close! Instead the program showed a stellar way-ta-sustain the stereotype that web debauchery knows no bounds; nothing being off-limits. It showed potential advertisers and sponsors they are right to remain cautious of web-visual media. The event demonstrate how to alienate potential viewers with real spending power, for the sake of eye balls that mean diddlie to a balance sheet. The image this latest Streamy conveyed is unsustainable and weak, juvenile and short-sighted; pathetically misguided and woefully out-of-touch. Clearly devoid of seriousness, cutting-edge practicality, forward looking confidence or fostering broader mainstream financial patronage. It was an utter joke, and dragged all of us down with every awkward attempt at being slick -- rather than aiming for legitimacy! ...Good for the profile of web video, not bad. Hmmm, yeah, well you are certainly entitled to opinion. But considering mainstream media ignored the event, and independent web commentary has been widely negative. Your take isn't supported by the evidence. The inescapable truth is that the 2010 Streamys were total amateur night -- technical glitches notwithstanding. Now if the production's intent was to show industry immaturity, and a complete disregard for the BUSINESS side of the web video business? Then your perspective has a foothold, but not otherwise. Bottom-line, disrespect the audience and we'll get disrespected! That is; all the way to the bank where our accounts languish, because we're too cool to collectively admit error and do better.

And brought all his friends and colleagues... and their children?! WTF. And I can't agree with the It's terrible for the industry! people. It will be *good* for the profile of web video, not bad. I've seen enough intentionally controversial and offensive theatre in London and Edinburgh to know that controversy drives box office success, mass media interest and general awareness. Even if the show itself is a train wreck. So - it might be bad for the reputation of Tubefilter and the producers and the chances of getting sponsors for next year's awards - but not bad for web TV. More people will hear about web shows now - in the knowledge that there was a big Awards ceremony for them. In everything I've read, everyone's giving them a pass on the tech problems and castigating them for the tone. Come on. They should be more ashamed of the tech problems than the poor taste. I mean, they were obviously *trying* to be 'edgy'. They got what they wanted, like ego-crazed geek frat boys. The whole thing reeks of not enough women in charge. What a surprise. But surely the one thing that should have been *flawless* is the technical delivery. It's not that hard to get sound right. You just have to hire a live event sound engineer who knows what they're doing - and a live broadcast mixer director engineer who know what they're doing (I mean, it's LA, for God's sake). And do rehearsals and sound checks. And if you can't do proper rehearsals in the venue, don't use the venue. If they were expecting 750,000 viewers, it should have been ALL about the flawless live streaming of the content and perfect sound, surely - not about ohmygosh the Orpheum Theatre and the self-satisfied LA types in the room?

I remember the first Vloggercon in NYC in 2005 and the second in SF in 2006. My book is a nice how to guide for people starting out in online video. For some of us who have been putting video on blogs wince 2004, it's seems so easy now. When we started there was no YouTube, we were worried that our videos would get popular, because that would cost us money. Now we've got a myriad of free hosting solutions for have lots of great features. But there still are and will always be people starting out. That's where my book comes in. In the book I talk about choosing a camera, getting good sound and lighting, and how to conduct interviews. Also, how to edit and post, and how to go live. I've interviewed a number of Yahoo! videoblogging group members. I made a post today called, Where To Buy Get Seen. It's a very simple post showing where people can order the book. It's at: http://bit.ly/buy-getseen In addition to that the book has a website, http://stevegarfield.com/getseen Over there I'm posting video interviews that I made for the book and there are discussion forums for people who read the book who might have some questions.

Re: [videoblogging] Hello definition of videoblog
hi jennifer i am happy to help u as well i am not like steve or jay from 2004 but i am from 2005 lol (november, honestly) we are still producing it if u can imagine still wordpress plus blip.tv i have done many shows since then and just started a new one for an online newspaper in sf. irina slutsky On Sun, Nov 29, 2009 at 12:45 PM, Jay dedman jay.ded...@gmail.com wrote: I am excited about the discussions in this community and the potential of so many people sharing thoughts about this topic! My first questions to you are: - Does someone know videoblogs founded from 2000 on (apart from Steve Garfield and Adam Kontras), English- or German-speaking ones? You should look in the archives of this group, started in 2004. http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/videoblogging/messages/1?l=1 Here you will see how we were talking about videoblogs back then. Plenty of debates over the concept, term, and technical implementation. This is one of the frist messages of this group: (Peter and I) have had long talks about videoblogging and wanted to bring other people into the conversation. The ability to put video on blogs seems amazing to us, but there seem to be some obstacles. 1. Technically, the process takes too long.(capture, import, optimize, write some HTML, post). 2. existing servers don't allow much bandwidth and storage space. You'll either get screwed becasue too mnay people watch your posts, or you have to earse your archive video because youre out of space. 3. what is the language of videoblogging? is it little movies? or moments from your life? We believe that if we get interested people together, we'll answer all these questions. So this is the beginning. When this group started, there were only a few people who I found that were consciously posting video to blogs. Like Steve Garfield or Adrian Miles in Melbourne (http://vogmae.net.au/). Most people before 2004 seem to have posted video as an experiment as a one-off, were doing live video streaming, posted video to html pages (not blogs) so weren't easily searchable, or erased their archives. Here are some of the early folks in this group as seen from Videoblogging Week 2004. http://www.solitude.dk/archives/vog-week/ In mid 2005, Youtube beganso by 2006 there were tens of thousands of examples of videoblogs. - How do you define videoblog currently? (Mostly, I have the feeling the definition is blurred and quite a lot of different Web-TV-genres or types are subsumed under the concept of videoblog.) Ill let others jump in here. This is a well-traveled debate in this group that comes up every 6-8 months or so. By the way, I dont know many German videobloggers (maybe just Joel? http://joelart.blogspot.com/). In this group we have plenty of folks from Europe (see http://www.vlogeurope.com/) but no Germans. What's the state of videoblogging in Germany in your opinion?

Sounds fancy, don't it? But I'm writing especially to my J2000 friends to ask that you save the date for the release party next Thursday, September 10, from 7-11PM at Tattoo Culture in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. There will be food, drink, music -- a regular Greek bacchanal -- but with a monster 530-page, six-pound hardcover on black ink tattoos as the center piece. The book is the first in English on this particular style of fine art tattooing with over 500 photos from artists around the world. Because of its massive size, it also doubles as a free weight or device for home invasion defense. I'm trying to find alternate marketing strategies here as the publisher has set the price at $159 US. Perhaps, I'll just sell it as a coffee table rather than coffee table book. But then Ikea would undercut me. I will be selling my own author copies at a discount rate of $120, but really, I don't want my friends to feel any obligation about purchasing the book. Your mandate is simply to have a great time at my party next Thursday. For more information on the book, click here: http://www.editionreuss.de/pages/english.html?core=/pages/tattoo/black_tattoo_art.htm For sample pages, click here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/needled/sets/72157622026497187/ For more on the venue, Tattoo Culture, click here: http://tattooculture.net/ Much love, Marisa -- Marisa Kakoulas Lawyer.

Another great local vlog/network is Bill Streeter's Lo Fi St Louis at http://lofistl.com Similarly, he has a Ning network called The Circuit, which is art music based.

Finally decided to get off my butt and do something about it. But I need some assistance or guidance in getting started. I have been creating media for many years but this is my first attempt at producing my own. Not having a TV or radio background like many of the successful show creators out in podcastland, this is all a bit different territory. The show will be non-fiction local news/lifestyle to a niche audience. I hope to get local business involved in the show, and hopefully that may lead to sponsorship of some kind. In approaching potential partners and collaborators to the venture my concern is to not to look amateur or unprepared. I want to present them with a media kit of some kind, ideally a one-sheet outlining the show and a pilot episode. I don't know if this is typical, I'm just guessing. Can anyone recommend a good book, blog or other that serves as a primer on show producing. What kind of data should go into the one- sheet? How should one approach businesses and collaborators? At what point do I mention sponsorship; do I ask up front and risk a negative reaction? So many questions and not sure where to look for answers. If any one has any experience in this area I'd love the benefit of some advice. I'm not looking to shirk the groundwork, just need to be pointed in the correct (read: most efficient) direction.

The pilot episode shows how credit cards are related to the Pledge of Allegiance, Eisenhower, and the Interstate Highway System. http://tangent.ws The show is only half the news though. I'm also crowdfunding the production budget. I've split the show up into $10 shares, kept 51%, and am selling off the other 49% to individual investors. These investors will potentially profit from any ad revenue or licensing fees the show makes over the next 2 years.

Here's an interesting quote from the diary: However, with this morning's news, we now know what drove Bennett to sue a former friend and bandmate: the threat of overwhelming medical bills. Like many artists and countless others who do not pursue traditional forms of employment, Bennett lacked health insurance. At the time of his death, Bennett was suffering from severe pain, and though he desperately needed hip replacement surgery, he was concerned that seeking help would send him spiraling into crippling debt. Despite the claims of health care industry apologists, many people like Bennett are beyond assistance. Struggling to secure a steady source of income early on, musicians are often forced to choose between their vocation and health insurance when they're young, and by the time they get old, they typically find themselves ineligible to receive coverage under any plan whatsoever. Stories like this underline the desperate need for health reform that, at the very least, includes a public option. The United States needs artists and innovators who work outside the confines of the corporate safety net, and we should not be forcing them to choose between their health and the art that enriches all of our lives. Pause for thought, and when a videoblogger I know tweeted that s/he didn't have health insurance, I thought about how many people I know on this list, including myself, who don't have coverage at the moment. I don't want to get into political discussion about healthcare, but I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there's a way under the current system for people like us to bundle together and get lower rates on health insurance, or if there's any truly good, truly economical policy that freelancers/artists can buy? There's plenty of other places to discuss policy, but I just wanted to throw this out there in case there was a way a bunch of vloggers got together to get covered.

I know this is only tangential to it, but I think YouTube's hands-off attitude towards violent, threatening, prejudiced behaviour is appalling. It's a breeding ground for hatred, where people can get themselves more and more worked up, more and more entrenched in their hatred. With the tacit blessing of Google. Yes, people can shout back, but we've all been online long enough to know that freedom of reply does nothing to combat trolls and haters. It just makes them worse, gives them attention. The only answer is to shut them down. I don't know why more people don't turn on comment approval on YouTube, or just turn commenting off altogether. The only reason I can think of is that they don't know they can. And I just don't understand why the most popular video sharing site, potentially a place with great positive impact and opportunity, should allow itself to be turned into a big pile of shit. Is it any wonder Google can't make any money from YouTube advertising? Who wants to advertise their product next to all that? Google should get with the program and crack down. They could start by removing people's anonymity. Google should insist on identifying people by email accounts linked to Google accounts. And/or have comments set to moderation/approval by default. I don't believe this is a freedom of speech issue. To say that Freedom of speech equals being able to say whatever you want on YouTube is nonsense. Stopping abusive and offensive comments isn't against freedom of speech. Shutting down abusive commenters on your site isn't repressing freedom of speech any more than forcibly ejecting someone who comes into your garden and starts shouting at you and threatening you. If someone wants to stand in their own garden and shout and threaten, fair enough. That's freedom of speech. Within the bounds of laws on incitement to violence. One reason to do it is because a huge part of YouTube's audience are kids. Another reason is that it helped a psychotic continually abuse one of their users and get so wound up by doing it that he finds her and kills her. He may have ended up doing it to someone else offline - that's another issue. But there should be a team of people at YouTube saying In

hey rupert and all thanks for writing about this! ive honestly been too much up my own butt to write about it on here and i thought someone already did! so i dont know how much i told people, but i wanted to do something like this while i was at podtech, but as we all know, it didnt work out so i'm really glad that josh and jamison are organizing this i had NO idea who else was going to be a member of the academy until the list was published on the website last week, so i had no way to influence the membership list -- so thats a good thing to know since no one else did either :) its good to hear from josh that we can recommend members who we think should be on the list. i know i already have at least 5 people i'd like to see on that list, and only one of the people lives in the us. i'm very happy to see this organization take shape i'm happy to hear that it will become more international and representative of the web community. i also expect that documentaries will be a category next year? josh?

Let me try to address them: 1) Limit on numbers - We wanted to limit the initial numbers of the IAWTV so we could create a nimble organization that in its inaugural years is capable of getting a lot accomplished. That includes designing an organizational structure that will address a lot of the online video community's concerns. In too many instances we've seen fledgling organizations buckle under the weight of their membership before they were ever able to really get off the ground. I think we have a great core group that's a well-balanced mix of independent content creators, executives, agents, and other creatives who are invested in the industry and its future. In the coming months they'll shape the way the academy grows and the induction process for new members. That being said, I would love to see more independent content creators represented as the IAWTV moves forward and if you have any suggestions on the types of, or specific people you'd like to see in the academy, please send them over. 2) International - Agreed, there admittedly isn't a whole lot of representation outside of the US at this moment, but hopefully that will quickly change (in fact, we're building in support for non- English language selections for next year's Streamy Awards). Again, if Jeffrey or anyone else has recommendations for people who live outside the US who are dedicated to the space, please send those names over. 3) And to Jeffrey's point, ultimately the IAWTV is about providing legitimacy to and growing the web television space. I think an organization like this can have a much bigger voice than the sum of its parts and bring a lot more well-deserved recognition to the online video community as a whole, which I believe is good for everyone. Moving forward, I also hope the IAWTV is able to accomplish a lot of what Jeffrey mentioned: best practices and labor standards and providing guidelines and resources for emerging talent. We all realize the IAWTV is a nascent organization within a burgeoning industry.

In any case, I'm glad this is coming up. Commercial online video producers need legitimacy, best practice and labor standards in the face of traditional corporate hegemony. Traditional media execs needs to know that online shows are not cat pissing in toilet vids on YouTube. The community needs to develop guidelines, not a set of rules, that can help emerging talent create their own wins. And most importantly, commercial online video producers need to ensure that they're not relegated to being cheap labor just because they can do everything studios

Re: [videoblogging] Media Buying Agencies with their head in the sand, vloggers suffer as a result
maybe this is why i can't call payless shoes and ask them to sponsor my shoe show? lol i laugh, but its serious. why do you think they havent thought to reach out to us? On Tue, Mar 10, 2009 at 9:35 AM, Jeffrey Taylor thejeffreytay...@gmail.comwrote: I just came across an article from HuffPo about Media Buying Agencies. For those of you who don't know, Media Buying Agencies are marketing service organizations that works with media to sell ad space to clients. This service used to be handled by the advertising agency, but in the 80's and 90's Media Buying Agencies such as OMD/PHD, Carat and Starcom/Mediavest emerged, doing the media buying job cheaper for most clients. While one will see many traditional Advertising Agencies giving some degree placement strategy as part of the overall strategic consulting package, the actual buying transactions themselves are done by Media Buying agencies. Media Buying services are pitched just like creative services, with good accounts bringing in millions. And for the videoblogger intent on working with advertisers to make the Meida Buying Agency is THE gatekeeper. What's always struck me these past years is that the videoblogging community rarely discusses these agencies, focusing more on brands/clients themselves. In other words, I see many vloggers going to a brand manager for Acme Soap to go for ad dollars, failing to mention their Media Buying agency or Ad agency. What's even more alarming is that for-profit vloggers are not understanding that strategic planning for media is done up to a year or more in advance, and that plans that were less flexible due to ever-tightening client pending controls (e.g. purchasing department approvals) are air-tight now due to the economy. But the ignorance of content creators is just part of the problem. Media Buying companies should have been reaching out to us long ago. Instead of clinging for dear life to lucrative-but-dwindling 30 second broadcast ads and print media buys, Media Buying agencies should have set a rate structure and a buying system for online video. Anyone in online video should know the names of these agencies like they would any other big-name service, but it seems they don't care to know us, and we don't care to know them. I always wondered why, and I think I got my answer this morning: they're in a bubble. In my years doing ad agency work, I had come to the conclusion that businesses that do the business of communicating seem to have the worst internal and industry communications. Internally, most marketing services agencies are miry messes with many opportunities lost. such is the case with online video. This belief was underlined when I read Jack Meyers' HuffPo article ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jack-myers/media-industry-will-be-me_b_173377.html ) this morning. Not only does Meyers state that Media Buying agencies are just now getting the concept of corporate responsibility and transparency, but Meyers also shows that many at a recent association gathering believe this economy, rife with systemic problems, will turn around in a matter of months. Here's the money quote from the article: This industry is in crisis, but it would be very difficult to perceive that reality if you attended industry gatherings in the past few weeks and listened to most of the rhetoric. Companies remain entrenched in the security that as bad as things might get in our business, the basic status quo will survive. Keep on keeping on, managers seem to believe, and all will be well. Once the economy turns around in the next few months, most executives seem to think, our business will turn around with it. But that assumption is as absurd as believing the real estate market will recover and return to normal in the next few months. WTF? I have been constantly amazed that there have been no representation from Media Buying agencies engaging with vloggers from the beginning, carving out a new revenue source for themselves and us. While there may be a few contrary examples, the fact that many of us don't know how Media Buying agencies fit into the strategic marketing process speaks to their failure to engage with us. They engage with the revenue streams that they know, and dismiss emerging mediums as being too cheap or out of their realm for them to deal with. Because of this, both agencies and content creaters are finding themselves financially crunched. Until we leverage our way into the strategic media planning process and create industry standards and best practices that include engagement with advertising and media buying agencies and their clients during their strategic planning process, we can expect the same crumbs from the few clients that can move small amounts of unplanned cash to social media. In other words, until we get into their process, independent content creators can expect a laborious route to profitability from ad

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Micropayments (part 81)
this situation interests me greatly because i used to work for a newspaper as a reporter and i loved it i wrote about immigration issues in a small town in florida, a very conservative town that didnt like illegal immigrants but subsided on their labor, etc etc so the stories that i was able to report were supported by my salary, and the publisher didnt know what my editor and i had in store that day for the paper often, the readers and the publishers cried liberal bias but the stories were always corroborated by fact, etc etc here is the problem -- since i am the publisher and the reporter at GETV, i am only reporting stories that i think will get me lots of views (bear with me, since i know GETV is not a real news outlet, i'm just using it as an example -- especially since we are not really worried about the numbers) so even tho there are some stories, even geeky and funny stories that i'd like to report, if i think wow, thats so obsure i dont think i'll get any views on that episode so see the problem? this is why its important to have a reporter doing the story who knows and cares not about views or sponsors -- the story is the story and it gets done because its important and news worthy. editors are important because they provide perspective to the situation -- i WAS indeed biased in all my immigration stories since i am an immigrant, so the two editors who read my stories helped make the story more balanced and not quite so wacko liberal and i wanted them to be. do i have a solution? lets just say i was invited by columbia jschool to sit on a hand-picked alumni board to help with this problem -- we've only met twice, so of course we havent come up with any ideas, lol.

The hitch, so far, is convincing professionals to give their stuff away, to essentially join the open source movement. It's been painful so far - not much interest from big heavy hitters. Seems like the bigger challenge is finding professionals who love your specific community (dog training) and are good at making video. If someone is good at making video and doesn't care about your community, nothing in it for them. If they do care about your community, you could start teaching people how to make good video. Content is king, and there are a couple hundred people who are capable of delivering great instructional content. The video part has been a barrier to entry to them, but creating the content is not. Presenting quality information is not a problem for them at all. Getting the video online, and distributing it, is. I think I can make that happen for them, and the idea of teaching them how to make good video is EXCELLENT, thank you. It's going into the plan. I'm hoping that the economic downturn will change that a bit, getting people to think outside the traditional business box. I am also hoping that the economic downturn does not crash the entire net. I said something like this recently to a friend. The open source software movement rocketed into another stratosphere after the tech bubble burst in '99. You had all these out-of-work tech people with nothing to do. So they self-organized and made the stuff they always wanted to make. (this led to the Web 2.0 hype.) The same could happen for web video. Instead of video creators trying to impress the VC's and advertisers as they have been in the past several years, maybe we all just survive as we can...but make the most amazing videos we've always talked about. There's no money to fight over! I tend to agree with this, but if you look at what's happened to the open source movement in the last couple of years, you're starting to see them take off with the same kind of model that I'm proposing, and this is happening during a serious recession. They're giving away the essentials of their product, pulling people into the game, helping them create and manage content, and depending on the passion and success of those using their product to drive sales for more functionality and better services. Of course the scope and scale of the recession has ballooned and is sliding into depression, so that's definitely a problem, heck, it could be the death of the internet. But, absent that gloomy outcome, the model can be socially, creatively and financially rewarding. I've created some decent 'friendships' out of my website development. I get bartered help. I've 'donated' to get particular phrasings of applications that others have modified. I now know a handful of developers by name or screen name, and we're starting to develop an user's community that is both valuable and rewarding. It's not unlike what we have here, really.

Makes sense. you create the show and gather an audience on your own dime (blood/sweat/tears). THEN someone will come along and offer you a deal. This example though also shows that it probably helps to be a known personality.

Are you watching them now, all the time, while you prepare this? Because you should be. Look how silly the people in the show look. That's going to be *you* in the box. However justified you feel now - however ridiculous you think the opposition's correspondence is, you *will* come off looking bad, too. Perhaps shrill, irrational, emotional - you're obviously very upset about all this, to the point where you want to humiliate them publicly, and the show will play that up, and they will try to get you worked up in your testimony. Certainly, you won't get a chance to slowly and carefully lay out the correspondence to make your case on TV. All that stuff will be cut - it's boring. This is not paranoia - it's the way Reality TV really works. I have first hand experience from the production side. Irina just backed me up. Really - imagine how you'd feel about it if you get there and you're suddenly not winning as easily as you imagined (which is usually what happens in court cases, as in politics). Your ex-clients will have better lawyers advising them what to say. Most of the plaintiffs on these shows are made to look like fools. And it's not like you're a widow who's been wrongly evicted. As a videographer of models, your case is hardly going to tug on the nation's heartstrings. Finally - this I just don't understand - it seems you want to humiliate these people on TV, and yet you rejected Jay's suggestion to blog about your experience as public whining? You'd rather get 2 and a half minutes of supposed national broadcasting and totally forfeit control over how you look in public? And you're asking for advice on how to do this on the *videoblogging* list? The whole point of which is to reverse that power structure? And where is this going to go when it's been broadcast - once, during daytime, to bored housewives and students? Nowhere. It'll be broadcast and disappear. Do you even know how many people watch this show, and what the demographic is? Should your client really be shaking in their boots about being 'exposed' on this show? How many of their potential business partners are ever going to see it or even know about it? My point is, I just can't believe that you'd be willing to trade control of your image and reputation for such weak rewards. YOU have the power to make your own video about your case that will show up in all their search results if you do it right. YouTube and other video sharing sites are often heavily weighted so that they often feature in the top 2 pages for any search result. Make an entertaining video of the correspondence from *your* side. Humiliate them in a way that's viewable by all their clients, 24 hours a day 7 days a week via Google. Not once on a cable channel on a Tuesday afternoon in January in a place that's set up as a freakshow and then disappears for ever. That's all these things are - freakshows. And you're volunteering to be a freak? If none of this makes any sense to you, just ask yourself what the benefits of this are - if you take away the idea that it will drive traffic to your site (it won't) and your certainty that they will come off looking worse (they won't). It's all downside and risk. Except for a free trip to LA. If you count a trip to LA as upside.

[videoblogging] from david weinberger
Has the Internet been saved? When Stephen Schultze http://managingmiracles.blogspot.com/ stopped me in the hallway and told me that Susan Crawford http://scrawford.net/blog/ had been appointed head of Obama's FCC transition team, I thought I was being punk'd. It was too good to be true. So, Stephen and I went to an open computer and Googled. Yup. But the news was actually even better: Kevin Werbach http://werblog.com/ has been appointed as co-lead. I was giddy with joy, for two reasons. First, it just might mean that the Internet has been saved. There are many threats to the Net, and there always will be. But one is particularly nasty and urgent. The business model of the incumbent carriers in the US primarily telephone and cable companies focuses not on simply providing us with as many bits as we want, but rather on getting us to buy content and services from them. This makes it too tempting to them to tilt the market toward their offerings, and to optimize the system for the sort of content they provide (e.g., high def Hollywood movies), which means de-optimizing it for other types of content (e.g., YouTubes). This problem is exacerbated by the lack of a truly open, truly competitive market. Susan and Kevin come at these issues not as representatives of the incumbent industries but as Internet folks. They are, I believe, deeply committed to the spread of the open Internet. But, they are not ideologues. They are capable of listening, finding what's of value and what matters in views with which they disagree, and moderating their views. They are informed, intelligent, reasonable, and sweet. You come out of a disagreement with them feeling better about us all. Which brings me to the second reason I am so happy about their appointment. Imagine a government that values the qualities Susan and Kevin embody. Imagine a government that doesn't go for the lazy, safe wedge issues that divide us, but actually tries to find ways we can move forward together. Imagine a government that thinks not first about winning the argument but about how we can live together afterwards. Imagine a government that assumes our better natures. No need to imagine such a government. We just elected one. -- http://geekentertainment.tv [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

When I was filing the complaint I wrote down the home address of the defendant, though she emailed me her business one prior to that. The reason I wrote the home one is because we never conducted any business at the business address in Manhattan. So I figured, what are the chances that this address even exists if she so willingly gave it to me. Good thing as of Nov. 21st. it's still within 23 days since the initial filing, so I went back to court and updated the address to the business one. Now if she gets it by Dec. 1st, there's still time enough for the Judge Joe Brown producer to convince her to do it TV- style. Until Dec. 1st...

That has caused me to close my blogs amoung other things because what is right with the world is supposed to be what's write for me. The problem is that I live a life indoors. Part of that has to do with what I do in real life and part of it is that I'm not a social creature. I turn to blogging because I can express without the need to look a certain way, think a certain way, or have an expectation. The thing about blogging, podcasting and all that is that now that people have gotten some fame out of these platforms everyone is expected to do that or better. Anything less gets no attention. I say funk all that. I represent the real -- the economy as is. I don't have the money for fancy presentations, well edited blogs or podcasts, or anything else of the high-end nature.

Essentially all the time wasted trying to close things off from indie creators is also the big guys getting in their own way. It so bugs me that the BBC can do a wonderful project like Capture Wales, ( http://www.bbc.co.uk/wales/audiovideo/sites/galleries/pages/capturewales.shtml ) - where they went out an helped ordinary people to produce absolutely incredible (beautiful, fascinating, personal, wonderful) digital stories in one 8 hour work session, and then completely ignore the wider potential of that project. Not to mention they completely stuffed up how they present the project online - only Windows Media or Real Player formats, no feeds, no real podcast-able format offered. True, back in 2001, we didn't really have podcasting, but the project ran into Feb. 2008, with no effort I could discern by the BBC to take advantage of the emerging distribution models that would have been so perfect for this project, not to mention of enormous benefit to the public to have their own archive preserved in such an accessible way. I was lucky to meet one of the producers of Capture Wales at a Digital Storytelling conference in Sedona, AZ, where they provided me with a few QuickTime copies of some of the stories and permission to use them as in-class examples for my students, and also permission to reproduce the shoebox story process they came up with when the BBC cut their workshop time down from one week to one day. Ok, I've rambled off the original topic with my example. But damn. The Capture Wales UGC is so much better than the UGC these big guys react against and dismiss. They know this gold is out there and they don't care/produce drivel instead. That's why we need to be able to self-publish find our own way plus our own audience. I don't want to see that taken away.

for that to happen. What's to be done? At least a few things, I think: #1 Four years ago, I promoted the idea of saving up your coins for a year, buckling down, and investing in your own video company for a year. At the time, I thought a year would be enough but didn't understand how long it would take for a supportive marketplace to arise. Now, I'd say is an even better time to do it. If you can spend a year, starting right now, you may have an advantage due to a weak marketplace and the continuing growth in online audience demand. The market may be much stronger in a year when you are ready to monetize. If you can't do that, join another team who can. #2 Find the talent, dont assume you are the talent. This may be the biggest problem the independents suffer from. If you think you are really good on camera, there is probably someone who could do the job better. If you think you are a great story teller and that tons of people will enjoy your writing, you might be fooling yourself. Build a creative team of people who you think are better than you. #3 Start an iTunes/Hulu/Joost competitor. We know you dont need any overhead. A few talented programmers and UI developers should find a very open space. I remember before iTunes came out with their podcasting client, Rocketboom was getting slammed by literally 1000's of new and experimental audio and video distribution aggregators, most of which quickly faded away post-iTunes. It seems like there is room again for a new spirit and a better interface. #4 Be careful about the conversations you have: dont let this separation become more defined. Bring it all together in a way that people understand this is about democracy, choice and personalized content. This is where conferences hurt us if no one is there to discuss this. This is where Hulu viewers hurt us because they are closing their doors on things outside of their comfort zone.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Revision 3 cuts back on shows including Epic Fu
everyone accepts the reality in due time. While its easy to compete with CBS and Disney because now we use the same open distribution channels, it will be hard to compete with Verizon and Comcast, due to the amount of overhead needed to build out an alternative system. My hope is that a teenager will singlehandedly invent a new way to transfer data faster, without fiber - one that may cost almost nothing in terms of technological infrastructure.

We've always said that if it wasn't for the people in this group supporting us right out of the gate in June 2006, we wouldn't have ever made it past the first few months. So we really appreciate it. We were saddened to find out about Rev3's decision to make such wide and deep cuts in their programming and personnel, but we were not surprised. There were internal signs that they were going to need to make these kinds of moves, we just didn't expect them so quickly. What concerns me most of all is that we really need companies like Revision3 to succeed. The independent content creator, and in turn, independent production companies and studios, are really being overshadowed by the efforts of the Hollywood studios and entertainment conglomerates. For example, look at the lineups at Digital Hollywood and the NewTeeVee Live conferences -- there was a terrible lack of independent content creators sitting on panels alongside people from LucasFilm and Hulu. As for us, we are going to keep making EPIC FU on a regular schedule and distributing everywhere. We'll be with Rev3 through December, and after that we'll be on our own barring something unforeseen. There will be shows and companies that are going to go away permanently during this time, but hardship always brings innovation and creativity, so I hope we can all persevere and find a way to keep supporting each other. I'm personally looking forward to the next few months and assessing some new opportunities and ideas of our own. :) Steve --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com videoblogging%40yahoogroups.comvideoblogging% 40yahoogroups.com, Irina [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: shit i go visit my father in offline deep maryland for four days and just got back maybe i should have stayed off line grrr On Tue, Oct 28, 2008 at 3:29 PM, danielmcvicar danielmcvicar@ ...wrote: Steve and Zadi inspired me to make the crossover to the world of online video and I am always in their debt.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: In search of pioneering v-loggers!
ergo, i am the self-appointed spokesperson for the vlogosphere LOL i dont mind pointing out amazing ppl :) On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 9:14 AM, Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Yeah, I didn't mean to sound negative. The problem with asking people to contact you is that a lot of the people you need to speak to are quite modest, and wouldn't necessarily identify themselves as pioneers, or wouldn't answer a call for them to email you saying I'm a pioneer! - so the responses you get will be weighted towards people who are more comfortable with self-promotion. The idea of pioneers is caught up with some kind of idea of hierarchy, or an in-crowd, something that a lot of people here have tried to resist. Which is maybe why Jay Dedman, who was central to this group, said 'fuck pioneers' the other day. Quite rightly, he doesn't want to be seen as any more important, valid or influential than anybody else. One of the best things that happened to open it all up was the mass migration of people to Twitter and their willingness to follow and be followed by lots of different people. The social and content stuff happens on Twitter, while the technical, marketing and philosophical discussions happen here. So I highly recommend researching it yourself via the archives of this group. The group's wiki also has a historical timeline of who did what, when which is worth checking out, but is also skewed towards those who have entered their own details. http://videoblogginggroup.pbwiki.com/ Rupert http://twittervlog.tv On 21-Oct-08, at 8:45 AM, Irina wrote: i am very supportive of people's projects i will help you identify people if you'd like to interview certain ones just email me offline :) irina On Tue, Oct 21, 2008 at 8:38 AM, Richard (Show) Hall [EMAIL PROTECTED] richard%40richardshow.org wrote: Well, for me, I would have to say my wife is the only pioneer in my life On Mon, Oct 20, 2008 at 5:26 PM, Rupert [EMAIL PROTECTED] rupert%40fatgirlinohio.orgrupert% 40fatgirlinohio.org wrote: Was that a request?
