 then simply stop posting or disappear.
 I'm amazed at the large percentage of people who I
 subscribe to at
 various sites who literally go 6 to 9 months without
 posting one new
 video and the equally large number of users who
 simply no longer exist.
 Do some research of your own.  Check out other
 videos by a user,
 look at when they joined  how many videos they
 post.
 Most people do it on a whim, get no response  lose
 interest.  In
 fact, consistent posters who have real video skills
 frequently go for
 weeks/months between posts.
 So this 10 million figure is totally misleading. 
 Sometimes, people
 make their videos private so only certain people can
 view them.  I
 suspect a disproportionate number of people posting
 videos on the
 Internet are teenagers who have grown up in the new
 video age.  They
 are the ones who appear to have made MySpace so big.
 Actually, the number of serious content producers
 are few and far between.

Miss B...
Great reply as always...
I work in a med lab twice a week and everyone I work
with has seen or even been in a video or two of mine.
My boss has watched some and of my stuff, and even
asked his boss if we could do a short documentary of

was very surprised...we haven't actually made the

 God, is this ever disturbing. And dumb.
 
 I get that your company wouldn't want its
 confidential information 
 spread around the internet; that makes perfect
 sense. I work in a 
 hospital. Pretty much all patient information is on
 computer, and 
 it's against the law (and morally inept) to share
 it, but my company 
 is too slow and sprawling and stupid to even think
 of removing email 
 applications from the very computers that store that
 information, 
 much less putting a 'no blogging' clause in our
 policy. I'm on one of 
 those computers right now. 
 
 I'd get it if your contract had a 'no blogging about
 work' policy. In 
 my heart of hearts I'd know that it was simply for
 liability purposes 
 so they could cover their butts if some of their
 info got loose. But 
 even then, it seems like such a sad and desperate
 idea. No blogging? 
 Isn't this some sort of information systems company?
 How is it that 
 they don't know how anonymous the internet can
 really be? If you 
 wanted to you could be b/vlogging about all sorts of
 work-related 
 things and they'd never, ever be able to find you.
 Now, if you did it 
 FROM work, perhaps...but from your own home? It
 seems desperate 
 somehow. And Josh has made such an important point:
 why blogging? 
 What if it were something else? Under your contract
 could you not be 
 a freelance writer (I use writing because their
 policy doesn't seem 
 to take video into account) for a magazine or
 newspaper? What about a 
 neighborhood gazette? Pennysaver?  What if you
 independently 
 published the journal you'd been writing in a green
 Trapper Keeper? 
 Would that be okay?
 
 I'm just sick at the idea that you'd be forced to
 stop posting videos 
 because of something this dumb. I totally understand
 if you do stop, 
 but yeesh. What's the world coming to? I guess I'm a
 little naive, 
 but I find it quite shocking. You don't even vlog
 about work!
 
 Also, it scares me some. I DO vlog at or about work
 occasionally. 
 There's the odd video and then there's a seperate
 blog that's only 
 about hardcore hospital stuff. It's got several
 unpublished entries 
 lined up because I iz skared. The only related
 clause in my contract 
 states that I cannot talk to the media about any
 hospital-related 
 anythings. It doesn't define 'media' and is worded
 such that you walk 
 away from it with the impression that they mean
 when Channel 7 jumps 
 out from behind the bushes with a microphone to ask
 you about a 
 scandal, don't say anything!. Still, I worry. I'd
 love to know how 
 many people on this list work for companies with
 policies like this. 
 Is this common? 
 
 Whatever you choose to do, you've got my support.
 That being said, I 
 vote that you take it underground. Run off with
 Heath's idea, change 
 your name to Ethel Pettibone, do whatever you need
 to do. Just make 
 sure you let us know where to find your work!

http://reviews.cnet.com/Camcorders/4520-7607_7-1023271-1.html?tag=dir
 
 As always I want to stress it is not how much or how
 big the tool is
 what you do with the tool, or in this case,
 camcorder. What kind of
 vlogging are you interest in doing or trying? That
 will go a long way
 to helping you get the right equipment.
 
 If you want something that you can carry around on
 you every day and
 are willing to trade x amount of video quality for
 immediate capture
 opportunities then you are looking at the memory
 card camcorders. 
 
 On the low end look for brand like DXG. I have used
 one for about a
 year and it was a joy. People were not threatened
 and I was able to
 get candid shots. It was only for web videos, I
 can't port them to
 other uses. 
 
 Stay way from Aiptek and Mustek, pure crap unless
 you get a deal for
 $50. And even then you will have lost money.
 
 On the quality end of Memory Card Camcorders you
 gotta go with the
 Xacti, I think my next camcorder will be one of

 Panasonics. I have a GV-19 but if I had the budget I
 would have moved
 up the food chain to the higher priced units. The
 disadvantage is that
 it is bulky and mine is a sky blue. I can't sneak up

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Hard drives local storage question

2006-04-13 Thread Nathan Miller
Over a 1TB of logged and captured footage since I
started in July of 2005.
About 300 GB of videos/mine/and the videobloggin
communities..I have packed away...
And a bunch of rendered stuff that FCP pumps out...
I need to do some house cleaning... 
As for hardware...a few 250GB USB 2.0 drives (they
were on sale at Best Denki for 90bucks!!), three
Maxtor firewire drives, and some old 60GB drives I
ripped out of old machines...it is a mess...

 internal SATA drive
 that is 80% full and network (gigabit ethernet) 300

 actually a secondary drive in my sons G4 that I use

 Hello - 
 I noticed the thread on favorite vlogs going on and
 I wanted to take a
 minute to explain a little more about The Public
 Address Network (aka
 The PAN) , because it's a really good place to find
 new stuff to watch.
 I started it because I wanted to see all of my
 favorite videos in one
 place and I wanted to see them develop and bump into
 each other and
 pretend that that's what tv actually is.. could be?
 It's pretty much why I never have time to post here
 anymore.
 I am totally obsessed with it, consumed.
 You may even say in love.
 
 Actually, what we are doing is quite simple
 Adam Quirk ( http://www.bullemhead.com )
 and myself have teamed up with 
 some of the most amazing vlogger-artist-filmmakers
 and friends 
 ( http://www.thepan.org/contributors/ )
 to create this daily videopodcast/videoblog.
 
 Each day one of us pulls together a 15 min stream of
 videos from anywhere.
 Usually highlighting work from videoblogs as well as
 other video
 makers who may not have a daily feed of content on
 their site. 
 We also include all kinds of video oddities and rare
 finds from the
 depths of the web.
 We also make new things, just for The PAN audience!
 And there is MUCH more to come!
 
 So please, stop by, check out some links, leave us a
 comment or two.
 feel free to take borrow of our signature promo
 videos from the
 library ( http://www.thepan.org/promos/)
 and do with it what you will.

 What's the best procedure when reposting videos from

Re: [videoblogging] Re: What makes a good vlog?

2006-03-12 Thread Nathan Miller
What does make a good vlog?
Well, to me one thing is clear: if you love what you
are doing it will certainly show in your videos. 

If your friends are talking about your vlog at a party
something must be going right...

If the Apple store calls you up and ask you if you are
using Final Cut Pro and would like to give a talk
about the bloody program...

If you are meeting people online, developing this new
type of relationship with folks you have never met yet
you seem to share the most common interests
with...however they might live 7000 plus miles away...

If you yourself can actually see your vlog taking
shape, becoming something totally different from what
it was when you started making videos...

Time-video length has become a delicate thing for me
recently...7 to 10 minutes can be a lot to ask of a
viewer, however as long as you are presenting
something that is remarkable...and when I use the word
remarkable...I mean people will leave comments,
anyhow, thanks to Quicktime, you can jump forward if
you find the need...have yet to get a comment that
reads, Dear Mr. Bicycle Sidewalk, Your videos are too
long, please make them shorter!

 them regularly enough.
   If not, then I eventually take them off my main

   Oh, and I'd second the short = good comment.
 The longest vlog I
   subscribe to is Icenrye, and I have to say, I
 think it could be 
  about
   1/4 the length. Frequently, a lot of it (20
 minutes or more) is him
   just talking to the camera, which could be done
 just as well in text
   or even audioblog format on the site, and then
 save the video

   MB's for the stuff that's actual video. BUT, I
 keep it as an example
   of long-format videoblogging. Unfortunately,
 it takes a very long

  leave
   my downloads running overnight.

RE: [videoblogging] From China...

2005-12-29 Thread Nathan Miller
Greetings and Happy New Year!
Ok, I am in China, and have not been able to connect
to my server via my Powerbook...I am in the middle of
the country and things are controlled over here, yet
not really...h...'Can I get on the net at this net
cafe via my powerbookk...'I get this kinda punk rock
reply from the girl working the desk, like This is
China...and deal with it...and so I do...However on a
good note I have spoke at a University here in Wuhan
to over 500 students about vlogging...this is has been
great and even got some great footage...got a large
group of students to sing the Chinese national anthem!

I miss the vlogging community and once I return to my
home in Japan I will have a truck load of stuff to
post from China...

Everyone out and those of you who read this far...

Re: [videoblogging] Teach China!! Help!!

2005-12-21 Thread Nathan Miller
Ok, in a nutshell...
I will be speaking to students at Wuhan University
next week (Monday) about video blogging...Wuhan is a
city of 7 million, so I could be talking to a bunch of
folks...

I don't have much time...looking for some type of
READY-MADE 10 minute high energy intro to video
blogging, a rock n roll type presentation...

Of course I will introduce Freevlog and all the other
greats...however I want something
knock-down-drag-out...(lots of explaination in English
will not work...)

If you have this video please contact me!!
Thanks in advance!!

 Alright, here is a fairly accurate translation (in
 case anyone really
 cares):
 
 If you're a fan of U.S. independent bands, I
 recommend
 that you check out this Lo-Fi Saint Louis weblog
 dedicated to music and music videos. You can enjoy
 some
 thoroughly lo-fi music and live videos from various
 unknown garage bands. This site provides an easily
 accesible way to check out the current live
 performances
 of American bands that only play in small clubs (and
 some
 that might not even have CDs out). This is quite a
 worthwhile endeavor I'd say. You may even encounter
 some
 talent on the same scale as The Strokes or The White
 Stripes. The site also provides occasional write-ups
 on
 galleries and interesting buildings so if you're
 interested in art you should also check out this web
 log.
 
 That's it, I thought it was pretty cool getting
 featured like that on
 a japanese blog. I've been getting a ton of traffic
 from it.

Re: [videoblogging] Help with Wordpress and Dreamhost

2005-10-06 Thread Nathan Miller
This morning I woke and my vlog was gone!

Instead I had this:

Can’t select database

We were able to connect to the database server (which
means your username and password is okay) but not able
to select the vlogpress database.

* Are you sure it exists?
* On some systems the name of your database is
prefixed with your username, so it would be like
username_wordpress. Could that be the problem?

If you don't know how to setup a database you should
contact your host. If all else fails you may find help
at the WordPress Support Forums.

If anyone can help me out...

I have sent Dreamhost an email, however even after 15
hours they have not responsed!!


Hope someone can point me in the right direction.

What are the specs on your machine?
Have you tired converting the files using MPEG
Streamclip to DV or another format...then import to
FCP...
I think, however might be wrong...aiff sound files
work best in FCP and as for video, FCP can tackle
(almost) any format...

 I have a Sony dsc-t7 digital camera that also shoots
 video and I'd like to 
 edit the videos in fcp. The problem is that fcp
 tells me I need to render 
 the clips even though I've matched the codec/video
 and timeline settings as 
 closely as possible...
 
 Any ideas why this is happening?
 
 Maybe this feature exists and I just dont know about
 it.
 
 Figuring this out would help this long time lurker /

 Hi Frank,
 Great job.
 
 There were some very funny segments in there. Very

 In one or two spots I thought some of the vlogger
 dialog was 
 overpowered by the narration.
 
 On my Mac running Firefox, the video stops 3/4 of
 the way through. 
 Might just be a Windows Media Player thing...
 
 The link on your post to StockStock should be
