[videoblogging] Re: Thoughts on Google and Video
Thanks Julian!
I think it was Bill Gates who first envisioned the idea of web-connected TV,
writing about it in his book The Road Ahead. He predicted that people will be
able to chat with TV show hosts through their connected TV's. Microsoft went
ahead and implemented WebTV back in 1998 or so. However, it was too early for
an average consumer to catch on, and plus high speed internet wasn't there yet.
The project flopped.
As time goes by, more and more I realize that coming up with the idea first
isn't as important as executing it when the time is right. Looks like Google
feels that pulse now deciding to give it a whirl with Google TV. This will be
great for independent show creators who make their episodic shows for the
online audience. Roku had a chance to make their platform universal like that,
bringing both the creators and the viewers. But I guess it would be harder for
them to compete in this arena now that Google TV is coming to town. Roku's
approach to creating an online show isn't user-friendly for the show creators,
making them hire programmers or tech gurus to get the show on the air.
Sincerely,
Renat Zarbailov of Innomind.org

[videoblogging] Re: external hard drives for editing?
If you want portability of editing on a laptop I'd suggest avoiding external hard drives altogether. Nowadays laptop hard drives are pretty big allowing videographers to work on the road. Of course depends on the scope of your projects, if they are not that huge, go with the laptop drive edit. Possibility of losing data because you accidentally moved the laptop pulling the USB cable of the external hard drive is much greater compared if it was hooked to a static workstation.

[videoblogging] Re: Microphone hiss, need advice...
That's true, there was some room radiator hiss, but beyond that the mike still has a hiss, trust me. If I were to do a recording comparison test between the 635A(B) and my Zoom H2 or Rode NT1-A the results will clearly show that the 635A(B) has a hiss. So the fact that there is a hiss from this mike is not debatable. My question is if there's anybody who can recommend a unidirectional mike that comes closest to the crystal-clear sound of either Zoom H2 or Rode NT1-A. Any help is truly appreciated!

You're welcome Carlos, If you are in NYC, I suggest you pay a visit to Sam Ash store in Times Square. I had an XLR to 1/8 cable custom-made there using the highest quality cabling and plug. They solder the whole thing in front of you to your own cable length spects. One caveat though, when they first soldered it I discovered that the mike started playing only one channel (either left or right, i forget).

As someone else mentioned you only need power for a condenser mic that does not have an internal battery option. Ideally I would just like a handheld mic that plugs directly into my Panasonic TM300 that provides acceptable sound There are many dynamic mics that will work. There is a class of dynamic mic called eng (for Electronic News Gathering) that are especially well suited for this type of application. Some of these include: Electro Voice RE-50 Shure VP-64 (this is the one I use) Electro Voice 635a (note: the RE-50 is basically the 635 *inside* a special housing to minimize handling noise) I'm happy with my VP-64 but if I would buy another mic I would get the RE-50.

Just because it is omnidirectional does not mean it will capture all the unwanted background street noise. Sensitivity is also an issue. When your mouth is a few inches away from the mic it and the background noise is both much lower in volume and much farther away .. you will hear mostly your voice. Remember, the RE50 is can be seen daily on TV someplace in the country being used by on-the-street newscasters. If it wasn't good TV newcasters wouldn't be using it.

[videoblogging] Re: Wireless Microphone
Richard, BH used to be the best when it came to customer service. I live in NYC and my last trip to the physical store location yielded in losing trust in this store. I even asked for the manager and he never came to hear my concerns, they sent a security guard to tackle the issue. And you know what was the issue? They did not let me into the store because I had my folding bike (Strida) with me. A week or so prior they did let me in with this same bike as long as I had it checked in into the bag check room. So sharing my experience with this community that BH has become a horrible place to spend your hard-earned money I think is beneficial to everyone here. After all, going to another retailer when shopping online is only a click away. I am not in any way promoting Sweetwater, far from it, but they had a live person call me on the phone as soon as I placed an order to make sure my camcorder will be compatible with this wireless mike system. After the sale I had a question and I called them back and the rep was very kind to walk me through the process. This is what customer service should be like.

I have a consumer Sony HDR-XR520V camcorder which has a mini mike jack. It's got an sony active-shoe approach to attaching accessories to it, with a slide-out cover. So what I did is I snapped that cover out, it sits on metal rails, and screwed in a regular flash shoe taken from an old still camera on top of that cover. I then grazy-glued that cover back to the spot where it should be when closed. Now the Sennheiser receiver slides into that shoe perfectly.

[videoblogging] Re: OMG I'm so excited to be here + feedback much appreciated
Welcome to the gang Kristin! I am going to give constructive criticism; 1. Site layout gets 4 stars. Why? Though the interface is clean and direct, the nav buttons below the video are not consistent/on par with the rest of site's buttons. 2. Presentation's content is interesting but lacks energy and spontaneity (acting skills?). 3. Audio is terrible. Consider getting rid of the echo your first priority. It makes you sound very unprofessional. Suggestion; clip-on lavaier directional mike. 4. Video graphics and story inbetweeners need more innovation and pizzaz. Consider hiring an innovative artistic video FX artist to create the shell of your show. You can learn to do it yourself but it will take time. 5. Why use Vimeo for video hosting? Youtube has smartened up in video quality and even offering HD, plus the visitor-base with youtube is way higher than with vimeo. 6. More episodes link leads to a page that has no TV box around the latest video and the eye is confused where the latest episodes are, wanting to find the below that video but then noticing the iPhone. To tell you the truth I thought it was an ad, like in Pandora. You should use the TV box as your user interface and perhaps use the right side, where the TV dials are - right below them, for inclusion of More episodes thumbnails. Over the years of videoblogging this is what I learnt; The show to be success must have a host that is charming with great acting skills, smart and spontaneous, happy-go-round type with his own original style. All that without great zesty content is nothing to make this work, and it must be consistent in every episode. Audio must be pristine, I am not even taking about the video... And of course the show must have a very good video editor/FX artist that is not afraid to innovate. The site of the show must be designed in a user-friendly and themed approach to make it memorable to the end-user. It must contain only the things that are functional and useful, hiring a talented graphic designer/wp theme guru is a must. I hope this helps Renat Zarbailov I N N O M I N D.
