[videoblogging] Scooter Helmet Cam
I went and got myself a Kodak Zx1 last weekend. Ended up mounting it in my motorcycle helmet for making vlog posts while I ride around Victoria on my new scooter. Paid $170 Canadian for it. Anyone that's wondering about the quality, well, it's pretty decent. Even on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/davidhowellca I'm pretty impressed this little camera did this well. Oh...and I guess this means I'll be vlogging again ;) David http://disposablemedia.ca http://davidhowell.ca
[videoblogging] Re: Scooter Helmet Cam
the helmet is mounted inside the helmet. I was planning on making a quick video showing how I did it. Basically, it's being held in there with Velcro. The small size of the camera makes it a lot easier to do and it stays put of my line of sight.

[videoblogging] Re: Which cheapo Mini HD Camcorder would you buy today?
I just recently bought the Xacti CG10. It's a nice little camera. I shot my latest video on it - http://www.disposablemedia.ca No filters on that video and the audio is as is. Only thing I did with it was cross-fades. I'm not a fan of the Flips. Hate the brick style form factor. The pistol grip on the Xacti is great though. If you're going to edit the footage you shoot in FCP or FCE from the Xacti, you have to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec first. I think iMovie can edit the files without doing anything to them.

[videoblogging] Low...low...low budget filmmaking
From what I understand, this was made to test out some post production techniques and became something more. http://www.purchasebrothers.com/Purchase-Brothers-v2-hl1.html The Escape From City 17 short film series is an adaptation based on the Half Life computer game saga by Valve Corporation. Originally envisioned as a project to test out numerous post production techniques, as well as a spec commercial, it ballooned into a multi part series. Filmed guerrilla style with no money, no time, no crew, no script, the first two episodes were made from beginning to end on a budget of $500. This really interests me as I personally am wanting more and more to branch out beyond my self-imposed 5 minute rule and explore longer form films online.

Here's the link to the camera I bought http://tinyurl.com/9ce6jc Surprised to see that it's now $199. I paid $99 when I got it. I had originally bought the HD700 from Amazon. Was a little bummed when I got it as the LCD screen had a number of dead pixels and there was a white spot on all the video I had shot. I might have just got a bad camera though. Returned it and saw the HD100 for $99 at Walmart and figured, for that price, I'd give it a try. It has it's short-comings. You have to be patient with it and really plan out your shots. It has slow autofocus and not the greatest in low light. No stabilizer. Ect...etc. For $99 and an HD cam, cant really go wrong. I really appreciate the comments on the video!

If you haven't seen his recent video shot at English Bay in Vancouver with it, you should check it out - some of the shots are stunning. Admittedly, most of the imagemaking is done by the person making the image, not the camera... but anyway, he said he got his HD100 at Walmart for... $99.00 Maybe he was yanking my chain. $99 for an HD camera that shoots stuff that good. Must have been a clearance sale or something. Or a mistake.

Other people claiming to be members of Anonymous told NBC11 that the actual number of Scientology protesters worldwide will not reach 300,000. The actual number of people who show up for the rallies could be much less, they said. The group members said out of the 24 time zones, there are 17 that have Churches of Scientology.

[videoblogging] Re: HV20 Camera Noise
Hey Josh...not sure how much help I can be with this as I dont have an HV20. That sure is a really bad whine noise you have going there. Do all HV20's make that same noise when using the onboard mic? That's nasty! I've been pretty lucky that my onboard mic on my cam is actually quite good. Granted, I rarely, if ever, use it. I am always using my Rode Videomic with my camera. If I am not using my Rode, I dont really use the audio that my cam captured. The Rode is a great mic however, it's big. When people see me with my cam, it's the first thing they notice. It can be a little intimidating having this big mic on the cam I guess? No matter to me though. The sound I get from it is fantastic. I use it mounted on top of the cam and also use it mounted to the side on a bracket that I attach to my cam. It never fails to give me nice audio. If a Rode is something you are interested in, and the HV20 has a mic port (I cant imagine it wouldnt) then I would recommend it. It's not that expensive. If I remember correctly, it's around $115? Hope that helps.

And obviously, when the room is quiet the auto-gain ettenuator makes that noise even louder. I have used lapel mics to get rid of the noise and that works great, but I want a solution for when I am just filming other people and things. I thought about getting a shotgun mic but I am not sure if it would help as much as I want it to. so I am asking these questions: - does your HV20 camera make this much noise? - what do you do to stop the camera noise? - what kind of shotgun works well with the camera? -- Josh Leo www.JoshLeo.com www.ultrakawaii.com www.WanderingWestMichigan.com www.SlowLorisMedia.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Both are pretty gross. And here's my question to the group: When does community-based advice to peers end and when does free consulting to professionals begin? Or, in other words, when do we start devaluing our own experience and expertise by giving it away gratis to people who could afford to pay for it?

Thanks for the compliments Brook :) You are no slouch in this. You are creating wonderful videos yourself! It appears that the NaVloPoMo'vians are all breaking out of those molds and experimenting with new things. Here is something that I find troublesome... There are so many fantastic videos being created for navlopomo and the majority of them are being hosted on Blip. I just went to the Blip front page and I see not a mention of any NaVloPoMo videos on the front page. Nothing. I see that Cooking with Jack Black is a hit though. Wow. Really...just...wow. It saddens me that Blip has gone the way of promoting Internet TV as their base and bypassed the independent videobloggers who, were really the ones that got them the attention when they first started up. Oh sure, occasionally Blip will feature a non internet television creator. The ratio is very lopsided though. I'm sorry Blip. I really don't want to point fingers at you but...you are the ones that host my videos. I chose you then because I believed in what you were doing...back then. I'm troubled with what you've become.

You are correct. I will email Blip and see if they would promote NaVloPoMo. I dont know if anyone has actually emailed Blip about this? Your advice is well taken. Personally I dont see WS as a show. It's not...hmm...glossy. It's not produced. It's not trying to mimic television. I guess it could be classified as a show but no way would I ever call it Internet TV. I look at the work that you guys are doing coming more from the Independent or alternative side of doing things. With all the so-called shows being created, WS is a breath of fresh air. You arent trying to make a series. I suppose it's all in how one perceives the work that is created. Maybe my perception of what you guys do is wrong? I dont know?

The strike is on, Writers Guild of America spokeswoman Sherry Goldman told AFP. The strike deadline was a minute into Monday in each US time zone, meaning writers in New York City were the first to walk off their jobs, according to Goldman. An 11th-hour negotiating session was held with the help of a federal mediator Sunday, but it broke down without achieving any results. Members of the 12,000-strong union plan to begin picketing Monday morning at major studios in the Los Angeles area and outside NBC studio at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan. The first casualties of the walk-out are likely to be talk shows, soap operas, and comedy programs that rely on fresh scripts. Major motion picture studios and television programs typically have stockpiles of scripts that can insulate them from feeling the effects of the strike for a year or longer. Writers want a greater share of residual profits from television series sold on DVDs and money made from programs shown on the Internet, cellular phones, and other new media outlets. Producers acknowledge that online viewing is increasing and promise to study the issue, but argue that it is too early to say how profitable it will be. Writers are determined not to repeat a mistake made decades earlier, when they underestimated how lucrative home video sales would become and settled for a contract that gives them just three cents of each DVD film sale. The biggest sticking point is new media, new technology, Goldman said after the strike

[videoblogging] Re: video blog, the term of choice
Apple only included YouTube into their applications because YouTube is the largest video site on the planet. They arent stupid. They know where the people go. I put my videos up on YouTube over a year ago. Currently I get more than a 100 times the views on my own site over YouTube. Why is that? I'll tell you. The majority of people going and watching YT videos dont want to see the sort of work that I do. Plain and simple. They want to see some kid falling off a roof or surfing on the hood of a car as it rolls down the street, a cute kitten or some guy crying to the camera about how mean people are to Brittany Spears. To be overly general, the majority of YT *is* a bunch of kids making apparent funny/slapstick/talking head* videos. People love YT because it's the new America's Funniest Home Videos. I personally have never had any amount of success on YouTube other than a video I shot of my television screen with a news report of the bridge collapse here in Minneapolis. Do I hold a grudge against YT? No. There are some good videos there. I hold a grudge against MSM promoting the hell out of YT and ignoring the independent people. Just recently the local news here did a report of people from Minneapolis that are getting famous on YT. So sad when there are so many independent people here making online media that were completely passed on by. I bitched about it to the reporter that did the story. His response was that's what his producers wanted. To the MSM, videoblogging, vlogging, vidcasting, online video, whatever you want to call it, *IS* YouTube. Now, will I put any more videos on YT in the future? I doubt it. I went, I saw, I tried...*meh* I'm done. At this point, I don't want to be YouTube famous. I'll stick to the tried and true method for me of putting my videos on my own site and doing whatever I can to promote people that are the independents.

The biggest issue I really see it as, is that some serious artist's haven't figured out how to promote on YouTube to get that mass exposure and substain it. I've talked to a lot of local filmmakers here, and most of them try YouTube, they will put up a trailer or something and it goes no where and then they see what is popular and go well, youtube is just a bunch of kids, talking into a camera and cat videos and dismiss it and then dismiss the idea of online distrubution. THAT is the attitude we need to work on, you can't do a fly by, there is no magic pill, it's hard work to make good stuff and get it noticed, but it's always been hard work, so Heath http://batmangeek.com http://mobilevlog.blogspot.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Rupert rupert@ wrote: Yeah. I agree. It's the term that people understand. You yell vlog or video podcast, people go Huh? What? You yell video blog, you got a panic on your hands on the fourth of July. However, David Howell was raising concerns the other day on Twitter about the connotations of the term. The general public knows the word, and they *think* they understand it... BUT they think solely in terms of Youtube, and the picture that comes into their mind when you say 'video blog' is that of a person droning into their webcam at great length about what they've done today. People aren't aware that video blogs and user-generated (sorry) online video comes in a million flavours. That's a barrier which stops intelligent and creative people being aware that there's challenging, varied and engaging new content online by independent vloggers, artists and filmmakers. At best, they know about the big name shows. And soon, they'll be spoonfed commercial 'channels' via things like Joost and Windows Media Center. As a community, we now need to put as much (if not more) effort into evangelising about the content as we have previously put into evangelising about the technology

[videoblogging] Re: Explain Word Press and plug ins for Video Blogging
I am not about to go into Wordpress and all of it's functions and plugins. That would require the better part of a month explaining it all out. However, you dont really need any plugins with Wordpress to use it as a videoblog. Knowledge of linking a video is all that's really required. One superb plugin that many of us do use is Enric's vPIP. http://www.vpip.org Blip.tv has it's showplayer that many use as well. Also, the Wordpress based Showinabox is being developed for videobloggers to use. http://www.showinabox.tv I personally use Showinabox with vPIP.

Just wanted to follow this up and put some closure on, what this thread kinda derailed into for me. First, thank you to everyone for your words of wisdom, ideas, offerings, sympathies and opinions. It means a lot to me to hear back from all of you that have contacted me in some way shape for form this weekend. Too many people to list so a big y'all is just awesome! from me to you. I spent this weekend talking with my wife and thinking about everything that happened last week at work. Realizing that I have to do what is best for me, I've made the decision that I am going to be leaving my job and begin freelancing full-time. I could stay, let them fire me and fight it but to what end? I dont want to be there. Why fight for something like that when I can spend my creative abilities on something more productive. My wife would know best that I am not someone that likes to have things dictated to him and loves to get in and battle it out. However, this is a battle that I have no interest in participating in. So, cross your fingers for me. Here we go taking that big step off the cliff!

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.

Gena, so very few want something different these days. Most are content with the usual stuff (garbage) found on YouTube. I find it disheartening that there are so few interested in content that may be regarded as alternative vlogs. Trying to reach out to those few is a lonely task. 1 hit here. 1 hit there. Very few return. I do cherish those that come back again and again though. Those that return are generally people that I now call friends. It may just be my form of an alternative vlog that people dont find interesting? I dont know? If I knew that, your post of When to let it go... would be easier to answer. Regardless. My employer found my sites yesterday and I've been informed that if I want to keep working there, I needed to remove them (my sites). Strict corporate policy of no blogs. Yes...I know I know. It's not a blog. They dont care. It's close enough to being one. I guess I will be making my decision as to what I am going to do over the weekend. I cant afford to be jobless and my site doesnt earn me a living. Any ways...yeah. Go the Social Media way and not have a site or have your own site and run it the way you want?

[videoblogging] Re: video blogging / facebook / myspace / you tube
Ok. I work for a company where I am privy to vast amounts of personal and financial information for both individuals and enterprises. My assumption is that they dont want that information to be published on blog sites for anyone to see. So, to guard against that I guess, they say the employees arent allowed to have blogs. A rather archaic method, to say the least, of preventing an information leak on such a grand scale that a blog would provide. Personally I think it's just a way for them to get their rocks off in thinking they have full control over our personal lives. I in no way understand why their rules are thus however if I break those rules, as it states in the policy I signed, I would be dismissed from my position. Again. I take full blame and am taking the weekend to decide if I really want to work for a company that treats it's employees this way. I cant afford to be unemployed however this might just be the kick in the arse that pushes me into the freelancing world full-time rather than evenings and weekends.

Hey Daryl, I couldnt agree more with you. I am at the point where I will probably shutting my site down and not bothering any more. I've spent a massive amount of time trying to promote my site to no avail. I think it's time to stop banging my head against the wall now. I think these social media sites are great and I do spend a fair amount of time on them myself. True. The user population on social media sites can tend to be, umm, odd.

Every frikin' time - I have internal callouses to buffer the injury but that is a form of my pain that isn't appropriate to share with this group. Maybe I should, but you'd witness a few howls of it is not really related to videoblogging, take it to your blog/vlog. Most of the comments here are what I would expect, was it funny? Did it deliver? The content is seen and not seen. The 'isms are hard to deal with if you don't have to deal with them all the time. We can peep around them and look to other things but the elephant is still in the room. I don't have a choice. It is a consistent aspect of my life that I have to navigate. And so when I see something like this and I want to respond in this group there are constrictions. I have reams to say this video yet I don't want to promote this person's video. I may change my mind. Probably will now that you brought this up cuz I don't want what I first posted to seem to be as acceptance of the content of the video. He has the right to make this video. I have the right to view it and make my feelings about it know. I have to defend his right to make the video because I passionately believe in freedom of speech and expression. That right doesn't stop if I don't like something and want to prevent it being seen. Watching a video that reduces women to sexual appliances that can be tracked for profit hurts. Not to mention the perpetual view that a fractional segment of the African-American community is being represented as how all of us behave, no matter what we do, which seems to be limited to sex and drugs. So that is the reason that there are no Black Tech sites or African-American tech writers? Which is not a true premise to begin with. And for the record, I do not use the N-word or support its use. Thus, my constant change in the name of the video to a term used to describe a person appearing to be of Caucasian decent who is attempting to imitate and affect behaviors of what he or she believes to be Afro American-centric in nature. I'm not trashing anyones comments about this, I want to make that clear. Rupert, I seem to be on a rant and a lot of stuff is coming to the surface. I'm going to go beat a rug or something.

Well, while I use the Rode VideoMic and love it, I've heard a lot of good things about the Technica. My issue with the Technica is that it doesnt have a shock mount to absorb any bumps or vibrations. Also, the cable is 3 feet long. You are going to have to wrap that up somehow or have it dangling from the camera when mounted on cam. My only advice is to find a brick and mortar that has both mics in stock and bring your camera in to test them out.

[videoblogging] Re: My new video obsession....
When I had my Powerbook G4, now Lea's pride and joy, I used a Logitech Communicate STX. The cam is about $49 US. I used a couple plugins to get it working like a champ in ichat and skype. When I get home, I'll fire off an email to you with what it needs to get up and working.

It's like the iSight was built for you, Schlomo. Very few people could make films as entertaining as that with their MBPs. I bet no one else's MBP iSight videos will get shown at Pixelodeon next year. And it feels different somehow that it's on Facebook... sorry - the Facebook. Nicer forum for it than just a mass video sharing site or a blog. (that reminds me - I saw on Viddler they're giving away iPhones to people who make 30 second MeToday videos this month.) What you say makes total sense to me - the immediacy and satisfaction of it. It's been low maintenance creative fun for me to snap stuff, cut it occasionally in the phone and just send it off. You only have to worry about what's in front of the camera - you haven't got half your brain in the future, thinking about downloading, compressing, uploading, posting, etc and whether what you're shooting is worth the effort down the line. So it just frees you to just Do Stuff. The little creative muscles need flexing as well as the big ones. Not that mine would be as fun as yours, but I'd love to be able to do it. God DAMN, i wish i could afford a Macbook Pro (the phone i use was a free upgrade btw, and the phone plan is pretty average - all data goes via regular wifi). I am in webcam hell with this Powerbook. The other night i had to use my big old XL1 DV camera as a webcam for the flashmeeting - and then it ran out of battery. And I'd left the power cord somewhere.
