We've used this in our theater for at least 15 years, maybe longer. We use it internally with just company members and invited friends and we also have an ongoing performance series called W.I.P. (Wednesdays In Performance / Works In Progress) were we do the shorter version with the audience after the performance. Also, Jen Simmons and I used this with high school students when we ran a media program together. - Verdi -- http://michaelverdi.com
[videoblogging] Re: Interested in a critique group
OK. Sounds like some folks are interested, but I guess we have to clarify how this would go down. I'm a biz reporter, so all of the videos I'd be sharing are public domain and I could just shoot out a link. Sounds like some of you need to keep projects out of the public domain, so we'd need another format for those. And sounds like some of you already have good ideas on that, so it shouldn't be much trouble. Oh. And here's what I do. I write a weekly column called On The Cheap, featuring reader tips to save money. Then my colleague April Bartholomew and I make a video to correspond with the column, which appears on the web page. They fall in the silly/stupid category. We've been at it for nearly a year. But we work at a newspaper, so we're looking to expand our peer group to include folks with more experience in online video. And hopefully, we'd bring some value to the group, as well. But you might doubt that if we watch our videos. So how bout getting a roster of folks who are interested going, and then we can work out the logistics based on everyone's needs? Sounds like David and Adam are game, and Adam has ideas for a format for this. And Rupert, maybe participating in the group will inspire you to get back in video-making mode. A few people can be enough to get it started, and then we can see if this snowball grows. And thanks for all the feedback and advice on groundrules.

What about a web portal, based on WordPress and only accessible to members? Using Kaltura (see my post from earlier today about testing), one could login into the members only critique site, upload their video, and all members could critique using WP threaded comments, or even an integrated forum ( SimplePress forum plugin integrated with WP posts nicely). It may sound like overkill for this use case, but might setup a nice framework for a larger video critiquing community. If anyone is in agreement, I'll work it into the Kaleura test site I'm setting up... Adam W.

I participated in the group that Verdi started. It was a great experience to have my peers critique my video. I'd be all up for it if we got it going again.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Interested in a critique group
Here's the process we used http://www.communityarts.net/readingroom/archivefiles/2003/10/toward_a_proces.php Actually it was only steps 1 - 4. We use this at my theater in the process of creating a work but it can also be used on completed works if you think of the feedback as stuff to consider the next time you start a project. - Verdi On Wed, Jun 3, 2009 at 8:05 PM, David Howell taoofda...@gmail.com wrote: I participated in the group that Verdi started.
