   Hi Roxanne:

 Radio Shack makes one that is very well-built in my opinion:
 (RadioShack Hands-Free Headset Microphone (model 33-3012 - about
 $20)). You may want to buy 2 just in case you have any problems.

 There are no integrated headphones, so you may instead want a
 Logitech that has the headset and mic.

 The cord is about 20 feet so that may be a plus for exercise. You
 will probably need to use the supplied battery-powered booster for
 the camera though.

 For $13 Radio Shack sells a wireless 900mhz transmitter. Not sure if
 that is reliable though.
 900MHz 8-Channel Wireless Audio-Link Transmitter is the name

 I describe the product Hands-Free Headset Microphone here in a pretty
 long tutorial: http://tinyurl.com/24kyyu

 All the best, and please share your experiences.

[videoblogging] Re: Video card needed for HD FCP or iMovie

2008-01-29 Thread adam mercado
Don't think replacing your video display card is going to affect your  
ability to capture video from your camera. The ATI display card  
handles playback display only. Unless you have something like an AJA  
or BlackMagic you wont need a hardware dependent codec. The hard  
drives should not have anything to do with this either. The Leopard  
issue I'm not sure about as I am resisting the upgrade for a while.

The Sony should capture basic HDV if I'm not mistaken so FCP should  
be able to capture this. I would reinstall FCP to try and reinstall  
the missing codecs. Could be a dodgy firewire cable too.

Basically start with the easy/free things first. Dont go spending for  
a new video card if this is not the issue.

good luck

Re: [videoblogging] Tokyo Video People 2008 - a great event

2008-01-29 Thread Jeffrey Taylor
Thanks for reporting on this, Schlomo. The thing I love about these events
is how the activities all cross-pollinate, there's elements of past events
in Vlog People and some new elements (workflow discussions) that we'll
definitely use for Vlog Europe.

So here's my questions for you or anyone else in Japan who feels they can
answer:

What, above all else, do you think motivates people to vlog in Japan?

Are there cultural barriers that the Japanese have to get over in order to
blog? Were most of the attendees from Tokyo, or were many regions of Japan
represented?

Beyond the most excellent and affable Tajee, do you see any individuals or
groups coming forward to bring existing videobloggers together and teaching
people how to videoblog?

   Hey all
 I just finished being a part of the first videoblogging conference/meetup
 here in Tokyo, Japan-- what an amazing group of videobloggers here!!

 What was good about it is that the first day consisted of talks around how
 to easily videoblog (not just youtube, but a variety of services), as well
 as some of the more popular Japanese videobloggers talked about their
 workflow. Some work in groups, others work solo. Some are richly edited
 pieces, others are talking heads... just like the rest of us.

 A couple of the presenters:

 Megwin, one of the most popular vloggers here, does so well that MTV Japan
 signed him up to do one video a day for 365 days. What I love about his
 stuff is that his comedy transcends language so non-japanese folks can
 understand him. Check him out: http://megwin.com

 Another is Tokyo Drift, which is a group travelouge type site. They all
 work remotely and use Senduit to exchange files and rough edits, then use
 a
 private youtube account to show the final edit so they can all approve it,
 then it goes live. They came to SF for MacWorld; I wish I knew that so I
 could have shown them SF as they have shown me Tokyo. They are here: 
 http://tokyodrift.jp/

 And that is just two.

 Video People 2008 had about 200 people in attendance! Much larger than
 they
 even expected; and the group was really into learning about videoblogging;
 many of them already have fledgling sites started.

 The next day, a bunch of us met up to do this Tokyo Hunt 
 http://dougajin.com/tokyo_hunt/, which was just a reason to go run around
 the city and videotape whatever. (My group went to eat Fugu-- which I've
 always wanted to do). Now we are all editing the footage to put up onto
 the
 site. Stickam.jp livecasted us. Pretty interesting.

 Anyway, I just want to shout out to Tajee for putting on an amazing
 event!!
 (her videoblog is here: http://amino-tajee.com/) She should be really
 proud.

 I'm coming back for next year, definitely.

 You can see some of my quick reports from here in Tokyo on my blog. My
 edited footage is coming up-- havent had time to sit and edit out here;
 too
 busy seeing the city!

Re: [videoblogging] Lavalier mic recommendations

2008-01-29 Thread Andrew Darlow
Hi Dina:

I just realized that you primarily wanted a lavalier mic. The info  
below was primarily tested with an iRiver mp3 player/recorder, but it  
may be helpful for your videos. Regardless of what you choose,  
consider the effects of wind noise when outside. I'm sure some of the  
folks on this list can give you suggestions for not just the brand,  
but the type of mic and windscreen to consider in those situations.

I have had good success with this Lavalier mic The Audio Technica  
ATR-30 Unidirectional Microphone (about $30)
(I also mention it on the same page I sent before- http:// 
tinyurl.com/24kyyu ).

And there's a section on that page about my thoughts on the Giant  
Squid products.

Not sure if the inexpensive ($13) Radio Shack 900MHz 8-Channel  
Wireless Audio-Link Transmitter wireless device will turn any of  
these into a good quality wireless mic, but someone else on the list  
might know.

All the best,

Andrew

Re: [videoblogging] Lavalier mic recommendations

2008-01-29 Thread Jan McLaughlin
First, it's about time you began to learn the joys of podcasting, Rox.

About time :)

As to mics / audio gear want to pipe in with this:

New gear is good.

But the same $100 you spend on a low-end new mic would get you two really
good high-end used ones. Lots of gear around the Interwebs.

Lectrosonics and Sennheiser are two respected wireless names in pro audio
circles.

Trim and Tram were / are solid choices for lavalieres. Add Sanken COS-11 and
Countryman B6, too.

Set yourself up with ebay alerts for those names like Lectrosonics
Wireless Sennheiser Wireless Trim Lav Tram Lav, etc.

When you get hits, go to the manufacturer's site and familiarize yourself
with each unit's specs. Contact me off-list if you have any questions about
the gear. Happy to make an email to a seller on your behalf if you wish.

You can likely get a $2,000 unit for $500; a $350 lav for $50-75.

Something to add into your thinking.

$100 each for a good wireless lav??  Ain't no such animal, sorry.  Yes, you 
can find some for around that price .. but they are little more than toys .. 
and unless you use them in a cornfield in Iowa (away from cellphones, 
computers, pager transmitters and the like) you *will* get interference.

ALSO, you said you want to get two.  Do you want to *use* both at the same 
time?? Into the same camera?  That may be a problem also. You'll need both 
on different frequencies that will not interer with each other, and two 
receivers, and then figure out how to combine the output of both receivers 
into one plug for your camcorder.

Sports footage always has the opportunity to be more dramatic and
impactful in slow motion, but you have to shoot it with that idea in
mind in order to get the best quality results. :)

If you end up using the footage regular speed, there's no difference,

Thanks Richard. Yeah, I pretty much was going to put that all in there, but
was struggling with the sample. I think the vocals are all sampled, so
that¹s a pretty big chunk.

But it may be best to contact the artist. I was just hoping to get this up
fast ­ before another Semanal week changeover. No such thing as fast

I do have some google ads on my site too, for whatever that¹s worth.

 myspace (assuming they don't have their own independent site). Also, the

[videoblogging] Re:Lavalier mic recommendations

2008-01-29 Thread Alli
Hi Dina,

I have been using a Sennheiser MKE-300 shotgun mic
with very good results for a surprisingly wide range
of applications.  I have found that it actually gives
me better sound isolation in all but the most extreme
of situations than the low to mid-range wireless lavs
that I have rented from various rental houses.  I know
that you are looking to go wireless, and for some
applications like long-range interviews, walking tours
or for movement instruction (like yoga) they are best.
 

I just thought I'd share with the list my pleasant
surprise at the quality of sound on this little mic. 
I spent a long time researching it and I thought that
if any of you are looking for a general purpose
external mic this might be one to take a look at. 
It's nice and small for compact camcorders (I use it
on my HV-20) and pretty cheap for a Sennheiser ($130
on BH). 

Cheers!

this is one of the problems with CC licenced stuff. another is

 I am an investigative journalist and the investigative editor of
 Wikileaks.

 I have funding to pull together an international team to write an
 unimpeachable out-of-country forensic analysis of the Kenyan
 electoral process.

 In Sept 2007 we wrote a report which led to a 10% swing in the Kenyan
 vote http://wikileaks.org/wiki/The_looting_of_Kenya_under_President_Moi

 Subsequently, from sources in Kenya and walk ins, we've released
 a number of other documents http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Category:Kenya

 The Kenyan political and economic situation is dire and will stay
 that way until there is clarity on the legitimacy or otherwise of
 the Kibaki government. Analysis by Kenyan civil society groups
 show the election to have been stolen by the Kibaki regime at the
 electorial commission level. However the message of these groups
 has been compromised due to the inevitable presense within them of
 ethnicities other than the ruling ethinic group, the Kikuyu, which
 makes up only 22% of the population.

 Authors should be seen as beyond reproach -- non-Kenyan investigative
 journalists, academics, transparency specialists or other notables.

 The time frame is two weeks. I'm looking for around 12 people.

 Please get in touch with me if you are aware of someone suitable.

 Julian.

I emailed the artist because yes ­ the sample was huge ­ it¹s the whole
vocal track! And it doesn¹t feel right to give just the end guy credit.
Though he did really make a nice tune.

The site has no info on how to credit these mashes­ it just points to the
creative commons page, which is pretty vague.

So we will see what he says.

I make piddles with the adsense. Most people are coming to see a nude photo
of Keira Knightley that I made a parody of. They are not even getting the

Robert's mic is indeed pretty amazing. The mic is so small, you can thread
it through sweaters and tape it in from behind for invisible micing.

As someone mentioned earlier, wind noise is always a problem.

But I'm not sharing that info without dinner  dessert.

Rox, how do you deal with wind noise on the beach?

[videoblogging] VlogEurope 2008 date and time suggestion

2008-01-29 Thread Raymond M. Kristiansen
Hey all,

Some of you might have heard of VlogEurope. If you have not, VlogEurope is
an annual informal gathering of videobloggers from Europe and friends from
outside Europe. It has so far taken place three times: September 2005:
Amsterdam, November 2006: Milan, September 2007: Heidelberg.

This year we were hoping to let VlogEurope take place in a more central- or
Eastern European setting, and after Loiez (www.loiez.org) suggested
Budapest, we thought: Yeah! Budapest fulfills our mentioned and often stated
intention to move things east, it is cheap to get to, cheap to be in and we
hear of many good times there.

The date of such a conference is always tricky. After requesting feedback
from our community, we concluded that October 18th and 19th, Saturday and
Sunday, are the best dates – with hopes that as many people as possible can
be in Budapest Friday night. October is in the climate-friendly autumn,
squarely situated between the summer and christmas'y travel plans that you
might have.

If you have any feedback on this, you are welcome to leave them on this
mailing list, join the Vlog Europe Yahoogroup (
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vlogeurope), leave comments on our blog entry
(http://www.vlogeurope.com/blog, or e-mail me or Jeffrey Taylor
(thejeffreytaylor AT gmail.com) personally if you have questions or comments

We'll be coming out with further details on what we ourselves envision the
event to look like within the next couple of weeks.

Be sure to get the word out to anyone and everyone who would be interested
in coming to the event!

Best regards,

Raymond M. Kristiansen

Re: [videoblogging] Tokyo Video People 2008 - a great event

2008-01-29 Thread schlomo rabinowitz
Good questions, Jeffrey.
I'm packing up for may last day out here; let me write a brain dump when I
get back to the states.

Tajee is also on this list; maybe she can chime in with her thoughts as
well!

I'm soo going to move here.

On Jan 29, 2008 4:20 AM, Jeffrey Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

 Thanks for reporting on this, Schlomo. The thing I love about these events
 is how the activities all cross-pollinate, there's elements of past events
 in Vlog People and some new elements (workflow discussions) that we'll
 definitely use for Vlog Europe.

 So here's my questions for you or anyone else in Japan who feels they can
 answer:

 What, above all else, do you think motivates people to vlog in Japan?

 Are there cultural barriers that the Japanese have to get over in order
 to blog? Were most of the attendees from Tokyo, or were many regions of
 Japan represented?

 Beyond the most excellent and affable Tajee, do you see any individuals or
 groups coming forward to bring existing videobloggers together and teaching
 people how to videoblog?





 On 28/01/2008, schlomo rabinowitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:

Hey all
  I just finished being a part of the first videoblogging
  conference/meetup
  here in Tokyo, Japan-- what an amazing group of videobloggers here!!
 
  What was good about it is that the first day consisted of talks around
  how
  to easily videoblog (not just youtube, but a variety of services), as
  well
  as some of the more popular Japanese videobloggers talked about their
  workflow. Some work in groups, others work solo. Some are richly edited
  pieces, others are talking heads... just like the rest of us.
 
  A couple of the presenters:
 
  Megwin, one of the most popular vloggers here, does so well that MTV
  Japan
  signed him up to do one video a day for 365 days. What I love about his
  stuff is that his comedy transcends language so non-japanese folks can
  understand him. Check him out: http://megwin.com
 
  Another is Tokyo Drift, which is a group travelouge type site. They all
  work remotely and use Senduit to exchange files and rough edits, then
  use a
  private youtube account to show the final edit so they can all approve
  it,
  then it goes live. They came to SF for MacWorld; I wish I knew that so I
  could have shown them SF as they have shown me Tokyo. They are here: 
  http://tokyodrift.jp/
 
  And that is just two.
 
  Video People 2008 had about 200 people in attendance! Much larger than
  they
  even expected; and the group was really into learning about
  videoblogging;
  many of them already have fledgling sites started.
 
  The next day, a bunch of us met up to do this Tokyo Hunt 
  http://dougajin.com/tokyo_hunt/, which was just a reason to go run
  around
  the city and videotape whatever. (My group went to eat Fugu-- which I've
  always wanted to do). Now we are all editing the footage to put up onto
  the
  site. Stickam.jp livecasted us. Pretty interesting.
 
  Anyway, I just want to shout out to Tajee for putting on an amazing
  event!!
  (her videoblog is here: http://amino-tajee.com/) She should be really
  proud.
 
  I'm coming back for next year, definitely.
 
  You can see some of my quick reports from here in Tokyo on my blog. My
  edited footage is coming up-- havent had time to sit and edit out here;
  too
  busy seeing the city!

Well, if you can stand one more crazy American in the mix I'd like to
try to make VlogEurope. This means I have to get a passport and stock
up on my Airplane peanuts. 

I don't think Southwest Airlines has flights to Europe and I can't fly
without my peanuts. You don't want me flying without my peanuts
either. ;-)

I don't know how much it will cost but I'm willing to jump over to the
