[videoblogging] vlog research - low income/urban
Hi, I'm researching a topic that has to do with encouraging kids from low income and/or urban landscapes to express themselves with video. This could be both singly or as part of an educational program. I vaguely remember a few years ago a number of interesting projects that focused on videoblogging from both within the US and also less developed nations. Can anyone point to such projects/sites -- or does anyone know how successful such efforts have been? I'm imaging that a significant challenge would be funding such an effort and also giving access to cameras and editing software to the kids. Lisa
Re: [videoblogging] Re: vlog research - low income/urban
Very helpful pointers, Gena and Jay. I'm a bit embarrassed to say this is research for a final project in an information architecture class. The makers of a small, independent film focused on events surrounding a middle school, urban kid want to develop their original concept into an educational series -- but in a participatory fashion. They would like to encourage kids (likely through educators) to learn about film and contribute original footage. Anything beyond this basic concept appears to be the stuff of research and imagination. I though to reach out to the the video blogging community on grassroots projects that might offer insight. Certainly, not only questions concerning IA (scenarios, design, etc) important, but also questions such as feasibility, cost, etc. Lisa On Sat, Apr 3, 2010 at 10:04 PM, compumavengal compumaven...@earthlink.netwrote: Hi Lisa, Kids and teens are creating video content independent of school. Finding classroom appropriate videos would mean a lot of YouTube slogging through um, yeah, whatever... type videos. Start with skateborders and go from there. That is part of the key to finding content. What would the students want to see? After eliminating the first and second things coming out of their mouths you could find gems. The costs has dropped dramatically. Yes, still expensive for a school district cramping for funds but editing software is already on the computers for Mac and PCs. There are inexpensive web camcorders between $50 - $100. You don't need anything else but time. On the education vibe: The projects can be teacher initiated or as part of an overall educational program. Because kids are involved many of the projects are behind school district intranets. There are a few video projects that are on-line but tend to have older students as participants. It helps to look for the teachers as creators/initiators in order to find the projects or dive into the educational non-profits that showcase these type of projects. Edutopia http://www.edutopia.org/video and http://www.edutopia.org/digital-generation where you can find examples of education based video projects that involve students.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Flash video not suitable for iPhone, Apple CEO says
Flash video looks great on my Archos 605. Drop it in and it plays. Lisa On Thu, Mar 6, 2008 at 8:27 PM, Steve Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Technical and business reasons both seem plausible. One technical reason would be that iphone UI is smooth because it uses hardware acceleration. Not trivial to allow flash to take advantage of that, or multitouch etc. And looking at how much cpu flash uses on the desktop, and previous experiences with flash on other mobile devices, its easy to imagine very poor framerates and quick battery loss. So Apple wont want things to run badly on its flagship mobile device, so they will stay away from flash unless the performance lives upto what people expect = not easy. Im convinced theyd rather not have flash than have flash at crappy framerates. Business side, I dont know what their relationship with Adobe is like, seems these days that they are not special friends, and also probably the kind of control-freakery Apple want to exert over what apps can run on non-hacked iphones ipod touch's, also plays a part. If the overriding urge for flash is because of video, then the gradual move over of a lot of flash video to flash h264 video will ease the problem, it isnt that hard to make a player that will use flash to encapsulate a mp4 in the browser on desktops, and embed the same mp4 directly for iphone browser playback, automatically. The iphone SDK announcement was interesting today but anybody who probes deeper isnt allowed to talk about the details, so we'll have to wait some months to see what apps come out, and how restrictive Apple are about sorts of apps (as they are acting as gatekeepers over what can be installed).

Re: [videoblogging] Re: amateur review of the flip video camera
Ha! Plastic coffin. How true! Now that I've got a Nokia N95 my poor flip cam is sitting in the dark waiting to be picked up again. But I was happy to use it on a canoe trip a month ago and it did a great job even in the little waterproof pouch I had. I did a video comparison of the flip with the RCA small wonder and the flip won hands down. The RCA has the very nice feature of SD expansion but the video quality is poor and the software does not exactly run off the camera as advertised. You have to install a couple of dependencies first. Here's the comparison. http://blip.tv/file/274232 http://blip.tv/file/274227 Lisa -- http://lisaharper.org On 8/4/07, Ryan Ozawa [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I was curious about the Flip Video as an cheap, easy option to let my kids do the video thing, but never got around to picking one up.

No instructions, no practice. And I was impressed -- again remembering that it's a $130 gadget. Heck, its ability to capture ANYTHING at night was surprising. For a while I was flummoxed to not find a single administrative menu on the thing (I can't turn off the cheesy beeps)... but then I realized that's exactly why this might work for kids, grandma, or the wholly impatient YouTube fan itching to get SOMETHING online. The hardest part of getting started was getting the thing out of the darn molded plastic coffin it came in. The hardest part of using the videos it recorded was... well, using a Mac. It comes with stuff for Windows, but to use OSX video tools takes some hacking. More hacking than I had patience for. So I just ran the Flip Video software under Parallels. I used the Movie Mix tool, strung together 25 clips, and voila: http://www.lightfantastic.org/imr/extras/videoblog/archives/2007/08/bon_dance_by_fl.html Not sure if I'd have bought one (over the nearly comparably priced low-end Xacti, which has more features), but I love it given the price I paid!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Amanda on ABC is not a vlog
My point is there is a reason for all the constructs in vlogging. And that point is accessibility and usability. I could give a crap less about what people want to call it, but without many of the core fundamental features in a blog like permalinks, and an archive it'll be hard to get and retain regular viewership. Hmmm. Time will tell. And technology will evolve whether we're involved or not. Lots of people don't know what permalinks are. But they know they can subscribe for things in iTunes and see previous episodes listed in iTunes. Show notes? It won't be long before subscribers start asking for them. And things will happen. Once you involve the general public, you also involve decision-makers in the general public. They won't act, until they understand...

Re: [videoblogging] Video Nation: Agency Finds A Majority Now Create Their Own Video, But Few Post Them
Okay... this is cool, but... what about the problem with bandwidth? Is the overall throughput on the global internet actually increasing and can it meet the demand?? I, for one, am stuck with relatively slow speeds at home. There is no cable or DSL available so I don't subscribe to videoblogs, it's too great a burden on the pipe. Uploading video is a pain unless I find time to do it at work. Bittorrent has been incredibly useful. But it's akin to snail mail given I've downloaded some stuff that's taken weeks. Psychologically, I'm happy with this arrangement -- it's not supposed to be fast. Some of the folks I know who are relatively untech-savvy -- have the same problem with getting video on the web. Capturing is not a problem. Editing doesn't go beyond trimming and is not difficult learn. But putting clips on the web takes them a whole lot of time because of low bandwidths. So, in my mind, there is a process here that is long and difficult -- not actual steps in and of themselves. Where I see a potential gain is the ability for the device (in the field) to actually background transfer media to some website where users can edit, post, etc. So, imagine a cellphone where data transfer does not impede other functionality on the device. A kind of bittorrent queue. By the time the user is home and ready to review and edit videos, they are online and the effort is now relatively small to edit, delete, share, etc! Of course, you still have the b/w problem at home for loading but quite frankly, I can see a technological solution here, too... previews and edits could be made on thinner media (smaller data rates, frame rates) -- and even the ability to torrent down the user's inbox so it's resident on the home machine with the ability to sync edits Lisa http://lisaharper.org On 12/1/06, Deirdre Straughan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Video Nation: Agency Finds A Majority Now Create Their Own Video, But Few Post Them by Joe Mandese, Thursday, Nov 30, 2006 8:00 AM ET IN A FINDING THAT UNDERSCORES the potential of a vast, untapped market for user-generated video, new research conducted by interactive agency Sharpe Partners indicates that more than half (54) percent of adult Internet users currently create their own video offline, but only 11 percent actually upload it to the Internet. That margin, says Sharpe, represents a significant opportunity for software and system providers to help facilitate the migration of a burgeoning consumer generated video marketplace online. It also suggests an even more profound fragmentation of the video marketplace is looming than many industry experts may have predicted. One of the chief reasons for the disparity between producing and posting video is the difficulty consumers said they have with the process. The study, which was conducted online by Harris Interactive, surveyed 2,125 U.S. adults between June 29 and July 2, and found that more than two-thirds of those who create their own video found it difficult to edit their content due to the lack of consumer-friendly software. Clearly, given easier solutions, consumers will be far more likely to edit their videos, said Sharpe CEO Kathy Sharpe. And those who edit their video are presumably more likely to share it with others, which will expand this market even further. *Joe Mandese is Editor of MediaPost.* http://publications.mediapost.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=Articles.showArticleHomePageart_aid=51868 -- best regards, Deirdré Straughan www.beginningwithi.com (personal) www.tvblob.com (work) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] Re: youtube has video comments
Hmm. Right... I've been learning about these. Thanks, Enric. So does this mean that a re-mix is not really a downloadable movie but simply something like a playlist that references parts of different movies hosted on these sites?

Re: [videoblogging] The Nata village videoblog, Episode 3: Nata clinic.
Thanks, Jon. I really enjoy following your videoblog and find myself referring it to others. Good luck to you... this is an outstanding use of technology that both supports the good of a community as well as educates others around the world.

More than 12,000 people rely on the services of the clinic. The clinic also oversees the three remote health outposts of Maposa, Manxotai, and Sepako. The outposts are reached by dirt/sand track and the farthest is 36 miles away. The clinic is so busy that it is often referred to as a hospital. The closest general hospital is 60 miles away and the closest surgical hospital is 120 miles away. The clinic consists of two main buildings. The 1st building has two consultation rooms, one room for wound dressing changes, pharmacy, and an office. The 2nd building consists of a 3 bed ward, 2 bed delivery room and a 4 bed post delivery/recovery room. There is also a trailer where the PMTCT (Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission) Lay Counselor performs pre and post test counseling for HIV/AIDS and the nurses collect blood for the CD4 (T-Cell) count of HIV infected patients. The compound also has four houses where some of the nurses live. SPONSORED LINKS Fireant Individual Typepad Use YAHOO! GROUPS LINKS Visit your group videoblogging on the web.

[videoblogging] TechCrunch: Motionbox best online video sharing so far
This is moving us toward the idea of high granularity of videoblogging that Adrian Miles talks about. http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/04/02/motionbox-best-online-video-sharing-so-far/ To get what Motionbox is doing, take a YouTube and add a ton of really great editing, mashup and deep tagging features. Like YouTube, Motionbox transcodes files to flash to reduce file size and standardize viewing. But they also store the original files and allow you or those you authorize to download those files and/or purchase DVDs with the files. -- Lisa Harper http://www.midatlanticdogs.org http://www.lisaharper.org http://lisah2u.suprglu.com - sites and feeds Yahoo!
