Re: [videoblogging] Re: VlogEurope 2008 date and time suggestion
Who needs coffee when you wake up to Gena and Mike wanting to come to Vlog Europe? Yay! The good news never ends. Hungary is not on the Euro, so it's still relatively affordable for Americans. Watch for flight sales and book then. Prices from the US to Europe seriously drop when one flies after October 1. My advice for anyone coming is to fly into a major European hub (London, Paris, Frankfurt, etc. etc.) and check http://whichbudget.com to see which budget airlines fly to Budapest. Budapest is also within easy train distance to Vienna, Bratislava, and is a bit longer to Munich. Train tickets can be VERY cheap, but you have to book upwards of three months in advance to get the omg-I-paid-so-little fares. More soon.

I was so hoping to go to this but wouldn't you know it I had a speaking conflict.

I am so glad you had such a great time Schlomo; I only wish you had travelled with me in the late 80's when I was a fitness trainer setting up exercise programs in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka.

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?

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.

Re: [videoblogging] Plugin for Video Comments
Sweet work David, Jay and everyone who worked on it. Now all we need is 3rd party services, i.e. aggregators and meme trackers to start tracking video comments as well as simply RSS feeds. This has long been one of the biggest failings of aggregators. it' not just about the RSS... it's about the conversations at the end of the permalinks... AND it's about other bloggers and their blog posts referencing each other. As people such as David, Jay and the Show in the box team build more value into the comments hopefully others will stand up and take notice. Conversation tracking, meme tracking, or social aggregation. There are many names and many approaches to exploring what is I personally think is a whole new frontier beyond the diggs, facebooks, twitters and myspaces into a much more organic and natural social space. These aggregators will make 1.0 versions of aggregators look one dimensional. And they are. Examples of 1.0 aggregators - bloglines - google newsreader - various software aggregators: itunes, fireant, miro, newsgator, netnewswire, vienna Examples of experiments in conversation tracking are - co.comments.com - cocomment.com - Megatite - Commentful, commentful.blogflux.com And a couple of Meme trackers - megite.com - techmeme.com There' probably a bunch I don't know about or am forgetting about. I have yet to see a RSS / blog aggregator that also tracks users comments well. But there are a few out there who's names I can't remember yet. I think the one web-service in this space that is best positioned to start tracking video comments and memes across the vlogosphere is mefeedia, but sadly though i've pushed and pushed it hasn't happened yet. Consider this another suggestion.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: VlogEurope 2008 date and time suggestion
Budapest does not seem to me to be the most accessible european city from the US. While it's true that the only direct flight I can see from the US to Budapest is from NYC (with Malév). Budapest is very accessible. These cities are the major European hubs: * London * Paris * Frankfurt * Amsterdam Fly into one of those and connect on to Budapest from there. Which one depends on your airline of choice (if you're a Star Alliance kind of guy like me you'd likely fly Lufthansa or United through Frankfurt or Munich and then to Budapest from there -- if you enjoy the hell that is British safety regulations you'd fly through London). The online search tools should find these connecting flights for you automatically. Remember to leave some room in your first European Union airport for clearing customs.

Re: [videoblogging] travel vlog email list?
a few travel vloggers and i have been kicking around the idea of a travel vlog email list. this list would be dedicated to people who travel around producing DIY content. i'm primarily talking about gap year, round the world, developing nation / rural vloggers. if there are any of these type of vloggers on this list, can you email me privately to continue the debate? maybe try this guy: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/bristol/7217788.stm Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790 Professional: http://ryanishungry.com Personal: http://momentshowing.net Photos: http://flickr.com/photos/jaydedman/ Twitter: http://twitter.com/jaydedman RSS: http://tinyurl.com/yqgdt9

Id love to say yes, but as 2008 has so far had more failure than sucess for me, I wouldnt bank on it. Ive aready failed to meet people in London that I really wanted to, and Im nearly 3 weeks behind with semanal already. And I spent all of Saturday trying to make 3d hands for a virtual puppet, only for me to realise after I finished that Id inadvertently created hands that looked like they were groping breasts! Doh! Hows it going with that site that enables people to have advanced shares in indie video and thus fund the production? I dont seem to be able to remember its name, argh, but I am interested in the concept. Lets just hope my brain isnt 100% wrong and its not even you that's involved with that site, thus making me a complete babbling idiot, continuing a trend I was hoping to end this year ;) Cheers Steve Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Jeffrey Taylor [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: And you're coming, Steve.

[videoblogging] Re: Plugin for Video Comments
Yeah good stuff that plugin :) As for those thoughts on the future, interesting stuff. I think the net is still largely conflicted over these things right now, many issues get involved, ranging from how sites/services try to make money, control over content, social networks that are still walled gardens at their core, many sectors converging on the same space, etc etc. On the plus side, its possible to imagine a future where things like microformats, openid, opensocial, are taken further. Before we know it there could be established ways for more sophisticated structures of conversation to be interoperable, where people could have more control over who they use to host different parts of their online existence, and where companies can compete and consumers have choice, without a big mess, or data being held hostage. As for aggregators, I struggle to get excited about them for anything other than episodic video or podcast consumption. There are probably ways to present conversations other social elements and relatioships, in really appealing ways, that would give people more reason to look to an aggregator for this stuff, but I dont see it too often. I'll get excited again if the aggregator becomes the central hub that is a beautiful window onto our personal net lives, and can handle rich and varied data,content,relationships etc from a variety of sites services. But right now the popular social networks occupy this space, they want to be the hub, and whilst the door is ajar somewhat since the move to common API's for app developers to harness, there are still battles ahead, such as control over people's social graphs. The road ahead is complex but will lead to lovely simplicity for the masses in the end, I clearly and dearly hope. Babies that are being born right now need never experience the clunky and segregated nature of sites, services types of communication paradigms that spread so many of us so awkwardly over the net to date. Maybe part of the problem, and the solution, is that humans are used to things happening in a certain physical place. The web of today lets us listen and yell here, there and everywhere, but in a pretty disjointed way. The gaps between here, there and everywhere need to be shrunk :) Cheers Steve Elbows --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Mike Meiser [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Sweet work David, Jay and everyone who worked on it.

You crack me up, Steve. There is no success or failure here. Just buy a ticket to Budapest when it suits you and just show up. The rest will just unfold. We're giving you almost ten months notice for a reason, mate. We don't bite. As for Kinooga, I ended my involvement with the business late last year. I remain firm in my belief in empowering people of all shapes and sizes to make their own media of all shapes and sized, and in spreading out the wealth made from that media. But in the case of Kinooga, however, it became apparent that what was a good idea wasn't going to pan out. I've moved back to marketing consulting, working to have big brands treat people like human beings and share the wealth. I write about it at http://organicconversations.com , and will be writing more after this clusterfu** of a January turns into a more zen February.

[videoblogging] Feeling vindictive...
Where does one go to vent when the talent in your project screws you over? Does anybody run some kind of shitlist website for unreliable actors? And I mean vent in a name names kind of way. I don't want anybody else to get boned by this performer who was a repeated no-show over several weeks, was horribly late when she finally did show, and then - after a half hour of mulling over wardrobe and makeup - drops this bomb five seconds into the first shot: I don't think I'm right for this project. I realize you get what you pay for - in this case, nothing - but this person had the better part of a month to bow out of the project. And like a sap, I let myself get strung along that entire time. Oh well... fool me once, shame on you; fool me seven times, I'm just a big ol' retard. However, that realization does nothing to sate my appetite for sweet, savory VENGEANCE. So if anyone knows of an L.A.-based acting board where I can go write something I'll eventually regret but that will feel oh-so-good in the short term, let me know. Chris

Dina P. wrote: Richard brought up a point about using two mics at once into the same camcorder and frequencies. How can I use two mics at the same time then? Anybody that does this on a podcast, how do you deal with that? I do this all the time on my videocamera, but I bought my wireless kit with this in mind. Two approaches ... 1. Buy a wireless mic kit that has a dual-channel receiver and two wireless mic transmitters. This is not cheap ($600 and up for a kit, my Azden kit cost $800 but I consider it a worthwhile business investment). The receiver will put out stereo audio on an 1/8 cable that attaches to your camera's mic input jack (left is channel A, right is channel B ... assuming your camera has a stereo mic input). Each transmitter can be tuned to a separate frequency, and the receiver can be tuned to match. 2. You have two wireless microphones with two separate transmitter/receiver pairs. Each transmitter/receiver pair is tuned to a unique frequency (either pre-set or configurable, depending on how much you spent on the kit). You then run the two wireless receivers into a 1/8 Y adapter attached to your camera's mic input ... again the idea is to get one on the left channel and on the right. Option #1 is more flexible, easier to handle and (of course) potentially more expensive than Option #2. Option #2 gets you into more funky adapters and the weight of an extra receiver, but might be cheaper given the number of entry level single-channel wireless mic kits on the market. -- Brian Richardson - http://siliconchef.com - http://dragoncontv.com - http://whatthecast.com - http://www.3chip.com

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Plugin for Video Comments
It's not that complex though to track comments. You follow the permalink. You parse the page one time... you look for the comment RSS most platforms have them now. You display all or part of the comments in the aggregator... maybe as trackbacks, you just take them into account in the aggregator as ranking info, display them with the other comments and on site activity... maybe you simply say 8 more comments at joevlog.com. This last idea in particular is a personal favorite of mine because it simultaneously drives traffic back to the vlog while adding value to the aggregator. There in fact may be packages / API's out by now on for tracking blog comments... there are certainly meta standards, at least one documented micoformat for comments. There are of course potential partners. I've chatted with the guys at co.mments.com. They're huge potential for them to licensce their technology. It actually makes much more sense then running a single webservice for them... because obviously mefeedia and other specialized aggregatory communities don't compete directly or even indirectly. But... partnership is probably not necessary... because like i said... comments are very widely standardized around blogging packages these days. Of course there's still cooler things... there's tracking... which posts/ blogs are linking in the content to which posts. It's meme tracking... like techmeme.com and megit.com. Tracking the conversations in the vlogosphere. All that data is already in mefeedia's DB... all that need be done is to process it. The combination of these two types of tracking could light a fire under the vlogosphere and of course it's implied that it'd light a fire under the webservice that did such a thing just like it's done for companies like techmeme and dozens of others. What's more... it's organic unlike digg... and embraces an open ecosystem unlike youtube.

They're not French maids, but don't hold that against them. ;) Anyway, thanks for letting me vent... Chris

Cool.

It appears to be the url to the page where you can make a comment. So... Basically we have the start of a potential working ecosystem. The next question is who else supports this? Wordpress? Blogger? Moveable type? Feedburner? If not already a part of Wordpress could it be implimented with a plugin or added to an existing plugin from SIAB or that which david meade just created? Will have to do more research. -Mike On Jan 31, 2008 12:16 AM, Sull [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: and i just checked blip feeds and... good on them ;) it's in there.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Lav mic, thanks two different frequencies?
A reminder not to buy wireless products with frequencies solely in the 700 block; it's going up for auction February '08 and heaven knows what'll be done with the 700 range by Google or the like.

How can I use two mics at the same time then? Anybody that does this on a podcast, how do you deal with that? I do this all the time on my videocamera, but I bought my wireless kit with this in mind. Two approaches ... 1. Buy a wireless mic kit that has a dual-channel receiver and two wireless mic transmitters. This is not cheap ($600 and up for a kit, my Azden kit cost $800 but I consider it a worthwhile business investment). The receiver will put out stereo audio on an 1/8 cable that attaches to your camera's mic input jack (left is channel A, right is channel B ... assuming your camera has a stereo mic input). Each transmitter can be tuned to a separate frequency, and the receiver can be tuned to match. 2. You have two wireless microphones with two separate transmitter/receiver pairs. Each transmitter/receiver pair is tuned to a unique frequency (either pre-set or configurable, depending on how much you spent on the kit). You then run the two wireless receivers into a 1/8 Y adapter attached to your camera's mic input ... again the idea is to get one on the left channel and on the right. Option #1 is more flexible, easier to handle and (of course) potentially more expensive than Option #2. Option #2 gets you into more funky adapters and the weight of an extra receiver, but might be cheaper given the number of entry level single-channel wireless mic kits on the market. -- Brian Richardson - http://siliconchef.com - http://dragoncontv.com - http://whatthecast.com - http://www.3chip.com Yahoo!

You can buy a mini mic mixer: Azden CAM-3 Mixer http://www.azden.com/shop/customer/product.php?productid=93302cat=3page=1 You can get them for $45 on ebay. I've got one and it's great for any mic. It handles up to 3 mics, is tiny and takes no batteries.
