I've reverted to calling it NaVloPoMo because after all the umming and ahhing about names and last year, we came up with VloMo, which just didn't have the same ring to it. Given all the things going on in my life, there's absolutely no way on God's Earth that I'm going to be able to make a video every day in November. And I know a lot of you will feel the same. Which got me thinking about ways to make it work. Of course, if you want to go ahead and do one video a day every day in November, that's GREAT. But in addition, I thought maybe instead of 30 people all trying to make 30 videos, we could collaborate - 30 videobloggers each making just one video. Some of the best stuff that came out of the first Navlopomo in 2007 was when people started responding to and remixing each others' videos. So... How about this? You choose a day in November - and on that day, you have to make a video inspired in some way by the previous day's video. A big linear game of videoblogging Consequences. What do you think? Are there 30 people out there who are up for this? If you're up for it, reply here. Rupert http://twittervlog.tv

So I bought the HD100 (long story, that) and I've got all this footage and I've been editing in iMovie '09 (which, incidentally, I hate so far)and I've got these finished several projects and I realized that I'd been working with the same export setting forever, and now I'm going to have to change them. Or, at least, I assume I do. AT any rate, this computer is new and I don't know what settings I had on the old one anyway.

[videoblogging] Re: we should all enter this one
Yeah. This comes up all the time in my house: the relationship/lack of relationship between class and artsy as a label. Oh, yes. So familiar. This is the conversation that comes up when my artsy fiancee gives me (reasonably good-natured) grief about not understanding whatever artsy static he bought from Aquarius Records that he likes to pretend is music, or an artsy painting painting I don't get or a sculpture I just plain don't like. Suddenly, in his eyes I'm put in the category of The Masses (that's the term I use instead of mainstream or normal, by the way). The Masses watch movies that star The Rock. They listen to Z100. They shop at Wal-Mart and buy all their clean CDs there, too. They subscribe to Us magazine. Now, I don't actually do any of these things, not that there's anything really wrong with them (except for movies with The Rock. That's truly unforgivable.). But I get pissy about it. I'm being categorized and i don't like it. So I do it right back, and call him a snob. Why? Because he's a snob. An artsy snob. Artsy people watch 2001: A Space Odyssey over and over and over and when you ask questions about what the hell is going on, they roll their eyes. They really dig Duchamp. The only good music is music that absolutely no one else is listening too. I could go on. But why does my fiancee the Sensitive Artist hate the artsy label? Because he is, in fact a blue collar and normal person who got in many a nose-breaking fight in South Boston as a youth for being so artsy. Fair enough. There's a lot of crossover between artsy and The Masses. Mr. Artsy recently rented Night at the Museum and no, I'll never, ever, EVER let him live it down. I think he's even claimed he thought it was a documentary. As humans (and more specifically, I think American humans have a worse time of it) our brains jump to labels. We label, we classify, we file, we pigeonhole. Makes things easier, and frequently it's just wrong. But it's better to try and make a go of it with air quotes, than not.

(correct me if I'm wrong and putting words in your mouth, David.) However, I agree with Cheryl ... I don't see what Charles said as all that bad ... I like artsy stuff and I wasn't insulted. There is a reason the term artsy has common use (and it DOES have common use). In terms of film/video, I have believed that the term artsy is used because it's generally describing a subset of stuff out there that is often outside of mainstream consumption/expectation ... perhaps normal is a poor term to use for mainstream but cut him some slack ... he did quote it - which has the generally accepted implication of for my lack of a better word - and he has since apologized for not having a better word for it. It's the nature of the human brain to classify and categorize and label ... Charles didn't create the distinction of mainstream or artsy ... and he's hardly the first to recognize it.

Are you freaking kidding me? Very few! You know why? Because very few people saw it as Steve Zadi getting beat up. Cheryl was very clear in her intention to start a conversation regarding transparancy, asked for something to be clarified and GOT IT. Nothing wrong with that. What's wrong with a passionate conversation? In fact, Steve and Zadi themselves were the ones with the MOST mature reaction in the end. Others got all playground defensive (hey, man, leave my friends alone!), some got off track entirely, some got it and some didn't.

Despite PodTech investing hundreds of thousands of dollars in this community. Tonight it's not about PodTech, but Zadi has invested tons of hours in this community and has evangelized it on many a stage that I've witnessed. So, where are the ones who stood up for her today? Not many. A community becomes how it treats its leaders. This one isn't well. what potential should we have? I don't know anymore.

[videoblogging] Re: Bored
Little bekahvoice piping in to add her two-cents. I only ever really post here in moments such as these. These interesting discussions (I use annoying airquotes because not all of them actually ARE interesting...not to me, anyway)that devolve into defensive weirdness and name-calling and mudslinging and text-just-sometimes-doesn't-work-misunderstandings and personal bitchsessions do not bother me. They aren't as entertaining to me as they used to be because I'm trying SO incredibly hard to decrease the snark in my life (my own snark that is. I'm trying to get more sincere as I age so I don't end up crabby and bitter and more wrinkly). However, these out-of-control threads serve to remind me that everyone on this list is human. Human beings saddled with all the faults and foibles that go with not being a chimp. Go to the zoo and check it out. Chimps fling poo. Humans vent on internet message boards. That's why you'll never see (hear/read) me saying take it offlist or go blog it or this has nothing to do with videoblogging. Sure, it has something to do with videoblogging. Not the way *I* videoblog, because in this case I couldn't give a shit about getting 250K viewers fast. If I did, I'd have gone topless long ago. But it matters to some videobloggers whose motives differ from mine. Doesn't make my motivations any purer or better or more sincere. It just is. The fact that the 250KMahalo thread turned into something wholly else only says one thing to me: people care about videoblogging (or their Video Product) so much that they are willing to make total asses of themselves in front of a great deal of people. They are willing to jump clear over the generally accepted social fences that hem them in and go. To. Town. To this I say go for it, kids!. Human beings, remember? That's what we do. We get mad and defensive. Then we take it to the keyboard. That being said, let's revisit my prior point about motivations and all that. I'm not in this because I want to make a career out of it. I could mudsling and name-call 'till I'm blue and I'd have literally nothing to lose. Someone on this thread mentioned that all this silliness was sort of neat and New Media Cool: you won't see Rupert Murdoch having open discussions like this in a public forum (or non-forum, in our case). Well guess what? That's because it's wildly fucking unprofessional! See, I get to swear like that because I have nothing to lose! I'm NOT a professional! Get it? If y'all want to be the kings of New Media (or even the jesters) and usher in a New Age y'all should reflect a little on your behaviour. I mean, is this really how people want to conduct themselves at the dawn of The Big Paradigm Shift? Jesus, I hope not.

[videoblogging] Re: video blogging / facebook / myspace / you tube
God, is this ever disturbing. And dumb. I get that your company wouldn't want its confidential information spread around the internet; that makes perfect sense. I work in a hospital. 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.

Hey, John, When I started videoblogging I was using a Canon Optura 60 mini dv camera that I loved. Took terrific video, but it was too big and bulky to use for anything other than major events. It was great for parades but there was no way I could whip it out at work. For ease of use the Sanyo Xacti gets my vote. I have an older C6 version, but the new ones have bigger brighter screens, are better in low light, seem more rugged and take better video. They aren't exactly cheap, but they get the job done and I think are well worth the cost. Plus they're downright teeny and can go everywhere with you.

[videoblogging] Re: Loren says this group should be ashamed
oh, this is just beyond retarded. This whole shebang. From soup to nuts. Sure, I watched the original video in question. I even watched some prior posts to figure out if there was some kind of supporting context. Like every episode I skewer a different group and I'm totally not funny about it. I didn't really see evidence of that, so I simply directed myself to the comments section and basically called him an as*hole. He lowered himself, and so did I. For the record, I think part of the trouble with all of this is that he's interpreting the word racist as if it only refers to the type of people who put burning crosses on people's lawns. It doesn't. Clearly this is lost on Loren. I don't believe for one second that this was an experiment. For him to post that racist bulls*it then wait around to see people's reactions and turn around and say haha! See! You fell into my trap! is both juvenile and insulting. And he's calling folks who didn't think it was funny pathetic? He's bitching about no one emailing him? He's so proud he started the conversation and is pissy about no one emailing him? Or making a response video? I briefly considered making one, then I realized that making a video where I say hi, Loren, remember me? I called you an as*hole? I STILL think your an ass*hole is totally without value. It does nothing for me, and he couldn't care less. Why should I bother? He can whine all he wants about no one else having balls but him. The balls to do WHAT, exactly? Post drivel? He can bitch about everyone on this list being all talk, but does he have any real suggestions? No. What the hell is he talking about, anyway? This was no sincere apology. If it was, it wouldn't be stuck in the middle of a rant about f-ing Facebook widgets (did a Facebook widget drown his pet kitten? He has a lot of rage about widgets). The only thing more vile than this whole Black Tech Blogger Internet Opera bulls*it were all the as*kissing comments that accompanied it praising him for his passion and for being oh-so-edgy. People think the guy's being revolutionary. They like this ass and seem to believe he's got important stuff to say. Well, they can have him. Maybe Facebook widgets drowned their kittens, too.

Now personally I have a trackrecord of talking about groupthink here, and sometimes going against the grain. I therefore share some of his concerns about this stuff, but I am rather unsure of the specifics of what he was trying to prove, Im not sure Ive learnt anything new so I resent his suggestion that he has proved something to the gullible herd. He talks of the potential of what social media could really be used for, but doesnt go into any detail, so I am left guessing as to whether he means the same sorts of things I feel are possible, and often complain arent really happening. Persoanally I freely admit to having no balls, and of being mostly all talk, and rarely making videos, so those complaints dont bother me, but are probably unfair to a lot of other people here. And I think this whole thing was a pretty crappy example of groupthink. Not everybody here has expressed the same opinion by a long shot, and I think there have been much better examples of groupthink in the past. The best examples of groupthink Ive seen are when everyone jumps on a bandwagon and starts attacking something without learning the facts first, its happened here to one degree or another in the past. But the thing with Feldmans video was that watching the video was about the only fact available. I take his point that maybe some people could of thought to ask him, if they wanted to form their own independent conclusions, but with something like this does someone really need to do anything other than watch the video to form an opinion? I would guess that not everybody here wants podtech to censor him, I certainly dont, and therefore I dont think its a great example of groupthink at all. Especially as numerous people have made lengthy posts where they ponder his motives, whether he was using it to make some other point, so how can he claim that everybody fell for it? Just because the group may seem to Feldman to be one large mash of people with a collective stupid brain, doesnt make it so, if he is too lazy to look at the subtle differences in peoples opinions then pah.

Now this is changing because of PVR's and tv on demand/iptv set-top boxes, and of course the internet. But that doesnt mean that the internet will be as friendly or desirable to advertisers. The more it starts to resemble TV, eg mass audiences and lots of safe, controlled, professional content, the more the existing advertising business with its billions of $ will be interested, and will switch over. Now thats where I assume many of the $ we see on these charts that predict future internet ad spend, will come from, if it comes at all. And that may happen, but its certainly not the world im interested in. Its still msotly the same players, its really TV on the internet and it turns out that doesnt actually offer me much more than TV by radiowaves, cable, satellite. I guess I just expect that if most of the viewers cash go to the internet, all the existing producers of TV shows will go to the internet, although I suspect that whatever the technology, really huge audiences are a thing of the past because there is always so much more choice to fragment the audience. On a wider level I think humans, society economy have exceeded their own limitations when it comes to scale. Many of the different challenges that humans face over the coming century will be about scale. We've achieved many things that would not be possible if it were not for the absurd scale they have been conducted on, largely powered by the industrial revolution and its fossil fuels. But it doesnt look like its sustainable unless the sci-fi mineral mining multi-planet humanity becomes a reality at some point. So maybe the solutions are all small, local, primitive compared to todays giddy heights, but sustainable and less of a house of cards.

Hmmm...I don't have this problem. When I connect the camera via USB and choose card reader from the menu on the camera itself it opens iPhoto automatically and tell me I have X-number of items to import (it also shows up as a volume on my desktop, but I ignore it). There's a checkbox that asks if I want to delete items from camera, I always leave this checked, and then when I click import it double-checks. Do I REALLY want to delete all items from the camera? Yes, yes I do. And it does. Poof. However, this creates a different problem. There's a copy of the videos in the iphoto library, which is fine, but then have to import them into iMovie (also fine, doesn't take long) but that means I have two copies taking up space on my hard drive. Then even when I edit the clips the bits I delete are hanging around the iMovie trashcan taking up more space. There's probably a fourth copy hanging around someplace, too, just for kicks. I manually delete raw footage I don't want to keep from iMovie and I also have to delete clip-bits in iMovie that I don't use, as well as empty my iMovie trash. Since I'm not the kind of videoperson who takes oodles of raw footage and keeps it for an-as-yet-to-be-revealed purpose, this works. I only back up completed imovie projects as well as their little compressed Quicktime friends (and the rare what will I do with that? footage.) and then leave the original clips in iPhoto.

Hey David, I use an Xacti C6 and every video I have past May '06 was shot with it in 640x480. I bought it in the interest of stealth. Even though I loved my mini DV camera, It was impossible to just whip out at a moment's notice. It has been collecting dust ever since. I have guilt about that. I avoid low light situations entirely because it just comes out lousy. My only real beef with it is that the internal mic picks up sound off the motor (is it a motor? I don't know. Something moving inside the thing that clicks and whirs). It drove me bats for awhile, but now it's something I've just accepted as the trade for such a teeny camera. Another thing I've accepted is that because of the placement of the mic, when I'm pointing the camera at something other than myself and I'm speaking, I have to either adjust my voice (something I rarely remember to do) or fix the audio later because it's considerably louder than my subject (assuming that my subject has the gift of speech. This has not been a problem with plants). Also, taking stills can be a bit of a pain (life's not all video, you know!) because the darn thing's so small that it's hard not to move the camera while pressing the button. Or I just have unnaturally strong thumbs. It fits in my jeans pocket on days off and it fits in my shirt pocket at work. That's all I could ask for. I would very much like a newfangled waterproof one, but can't justify the purchase. I would certainly buy another Xacti without reservation. I've been happy with it.

So, I was wondering if some folks with various models of xacti (or similar form factor) cameras could reply here with which model you use, and a link to an example video. I'm basically trying to see the actual end result video from the various models. Indoor lighting vs outdoor, color quality, etc etc etc But if you want to include other information such as battery life / gripes /etc that would be most welcome as well. :-) I've read on this list that some people are disappointed with the sound these cameras capture ...

[videoblogging] Re: The History of What My Dog Can't Hear
Well, I was under the impression that musicians/bands covering a tune for a recording would certainly need permission on the assumption that money would be made from the sale of the album. But every band in every live concert I've ever seen has done at least one cover (always my favorite part of a show...you can't judge a book by it's cover but you CAN judge a band by it's covers) and I can't imagine they sought permission first. Oh well. There must be some sort of if you're already famous you can do a cover of my famous song clause. In the meanwhile, I'm going to brush up on my piano skills. I've always wanted to use Song for a Future Generation by the B-52s. Perhaps I'll cover that. bekah ps: David, my fiancee informs me that we no longer say bastard red-headed step children.

A friend of mine wrote an essay on music a couple years ago called The History of What My Dog Can't Hear: http://www.geartekcorporation.com/texts/essay2.html The essay is about changing the way we perceive music, and accepting it as something that is not ownable: The ownership or authorship of anything is a deception, surely. But I take no issue with the ownership of objects in the world, like a broom or a drum for example. Music however, is a thing not in the world, and the present deception of its ownability places limits on our consciousness. My motivation here is not to sell iPods. If this near biblical manifesto-mill can be accused of having any agenda at all, it is merely to assist an already rising consciousness. Neither are these paragraphs commandments or a bugle call to what we need to realize or do. We didn't need to be able to hear tone in music or need to be aware of its color - it's just the way music is happening to us, rising on a path like the moon.

[videoblogging] Leaving Blogger permanently for WP . Need advice. Ecto users?
Sick of all this headache. Willing to pay cash money for a modicum of stability and heaping platters of sanity. I've been wrangling with this crap too long. Of course, I should have made this decision before two days ago BEFORE I switched to New Blogger because there apparantly isn't currently a mechanism in place to export everything from NB to WP anymore. Super! New trouble is, I used to manage posts with ecto, but now that I've made the switch, only 25 posts are archived instead of all 125. Super! (oh, and they're in completely the wrong order and there are scores of posts missing, but that's another story) Before I do anything drastic I want to at least find a way to save my 125 old posts.

Is this how you two communicated when you used to work together? Jesus--no wonder things didn't work out. But if you want to stop having to defend yourself, stop reading!

[videoblogging] The One That Pushed Me Over The Edge (was The Shallow Nature of Videoblogging)
Ahhh, yes. That was it. That was the one. I knew it would happen sooner or later. The message thread that might finally shove me clear over the edge as far as this board is concerned. I used to consult the board a lot. There's lots of handy info and tons of cool people who want to help out. Sometimes there's some neat heated debates going on, but too frequently there are just bitchy, snappish back-and-forths, wild oh, but it's so hard to interpret what you really meant in print! Oooh, isn't text just so ineffective?!-type misunderstandings, snippity-do-da's and one-line zingers that clutter up this space and make it feel like a high school..no, wait: a Junior High School cafeteria. Wait: An All-Girls Junior High School Cafeteria (yeah, and that's not sexist. If anyone here has spend any time around 8th grade girls you know what I'm talking about here). I go away for the weekend and come home to quicky scroll through the messages and find this half-baked, faux-profound, vlogger-baiting bullshit? An I'm so shallow, you're so shallow, too thread? Why would anyone want to participate in that? That didn't feel like an invitation to a conversation about the meaning of meaning, and the subsequent posts sure didn't read like productive conversation and I'm damn surprised so many people joined in the non-fun. ...making salad ? ...takes a meaningless swing. ? ...casey only stepped in to make a point that casey exists ? I feel like we've got this message group chock full of people who have are hell-bent on communication via videoblogging or otherwise and yet I look at this board and I'm astonished at the consistent lack of communication! I don't feel the need to defend my apparent lack of depth to someone who asks her questions in some bizarre haiku-ish format just because she saw a video that made her go oooh and she realized that so many other videos don't make her go ooh, and I'm not posting this message to prove I exist. What are you getting at? I post therefore I am? Take that desperatly-wishing-to-be-existential, cranky, vague, meaningless thread about meaning and cram it. You know what? Kiss my vlog-ass. Ponder that. I've hit my message-board wall. And, no...I won't likely vlog about it. It would probably end up shallow since all we're really doing is attaching meaning to meaningless things in order to get what we want from others.

[videoblogging] Re: Do you remember your first time...
It's funny...I take my camera absolutely everywhere in hopes of catching a moment, or meeting someone I simply *must* get on camera, and in then end, I rarely shoot videoblogs in public. And when I do, they are all at major events (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Mardi Gras) where whipping out a camera isn''t given a second thought. In New York, where pretty much everyone is a little bit wary, I'm more intimidated about filming. Here in New Orleans, though, the whole vibe is a little bit more out there and people are far more open to talking to you out of the blue. But I'm trying hard NOT to look like a tourist, so, yet again, my camera spends too much time in my purse. Turns out I'm awfully shy. I can film myself in all sorts of circumstances, but I can't seem to make the leap to public vlogging even though it was my original intent for my videoblog in the first place. This will change eventually--I'm already a little bit tired of filming myself. I spend a considerable amount of time alone anyway--I took up videoblogging partly to get myself out of the house, see new things and look at my world a different way. I wanted to play tourist in my own town (NYC, where I don't feel one bit like a tourist and don't care about looking like one if I whip out a camera).But one look at my archive tells me that I haven't changed at all. I've simply *documented* my spending time by myself. Still learning, Bekah ps: the first time I took the camera to the streets that wasn't a calendar holiday was to film the sad dead Christmas trees that lined the streets of the city at the end of January.

My point was not that Kevin would have hesitated to do this because of a sense of community or sense of belonging (though given what Jen has said about how her students don't perceive their audience, perhaps he would have). My point is that he didn't have some lesson to learn by posting it, unless he has never ever been in an online community before-- these stupid hoaxes crop up frequently, in one place or another. But this guy didn't approach this as a hoax to fool ANY community. I didn't see any PayPal button for donations in his memory. It was an assigment. I don't think there is any reason hor him to feel defensive or to feel that he should join this list and explain himself in any way. Here's what Kevin has going for him in terms of this community: 1) He doesn't seem to have set out to deceive anyone except the hapless visitors to his vlog. He didn't promo the video here or hype his death movie. 2) Jen posted QUICKLY to dispel the idea of his death, so the speculation did not get out of hand. 3) We've all been young and foolish. Or old and foolish. In any case, should he decide to join this community, I doubt he's going to get cold-shouldered just because of this particular stunt (see item #1 for the main reason why). 4) His production values of his work are decent, and we can all appreciate well-edited videos. 5) A sizeable handful of people respect him more for this stupid prank because they think of it as art, than they would have if he'd just posted a video showing his real life. --Stephanie Again.

There is an assumed contract between the blogger and the audience that what's there is in some way or another real. This is especially true in video, which is easy to manipulate but seems so real. Contract? What assumed contract? There is no contract. There is no contract whether it is video, text or photos. This is the internet. There can be no assumptions. I WISH there was an assumed contract between a blogger and their audience. I like to *think* that I have created such a space where what little audience I have feels that what I present is honest and real, but there's no way as an audience member that *I* assume that the blogger/ vlogger I'm viewing has done the same. I don't think this makes me someone who lacks trust, I think this makes me a conscientous consumer. I take what I see at face value and if it ellicits an emotional response--then that's what it does. I rather hope that it does. When a blog is fiction, it's best to identify it as such. I agree with you, there. More importantly is when a blog blurs the line between fiction and non-fiction. For instance, when Kevin uses his real name but vlogs his fake death. That's not right, somehow. I pretty much agree with you there, too. Somehow, the idea creeps me out. You are fascinated by the reactions because you were not manipulated. Kevin is your student and you know he's okay. Ahhh...but I'm fascinated by the reactions, too and I wasn't manipulated, AND I don't know this kid and I wasn't entirely sure he was okay. ... Hopefully nobody had the opportunity to lose sleep over this. I might, just because it was all sort of creepy. Not because my emotions were manipulated or I was deeply worried about whether it was all real or not ... But one might ask: has Kevin never been in an online community before? Does he not know about this kind of BS and how little it's appreciated or tolerated on the net? And are we seriously still exploring this as if it were somehow new? This isn't new-- Look, I don't think a sense of community would stop someone from posting the kind of material that this guy posted. In fact, if it had instead been someone from this list, someone we all knew who posted this, and called it an experiment or called it--look out!-- art there would be a lot less outcry about it. It may have even gotten heaped with praise and called innovative. This wasn't BS: this was an assignment.

[videoblogging] Re: another FAQ from a newbie
I'll throw in my 2cents re: miniDV loading placement: muy importante! I have the Canon Optura 60, which I do really like (not 3ccd, tho), although my big beefs with it is that there's no Easy mode (all those features are overkill for me) and it's size. Don't get me wrong, it's pretty darn small, but it's not like I can toss it in my purse and take it around town. I've spent my non-existent tax return on a sexy, teensy camera I can pop in my pocket for on-the-fly videoblogging--something I absolutely can't get accomplished with the Optura. Unless you've got a lot of other things in your life that you can use a decent videocamera for in the event that you get too frustrated with vlogging (kids parties? Dance recitals? Weddings? vacations?) I'd stick to a nice digital camera that takes video. I've only had the new camera for three days and I'm still messing with it, but there are other vloggers out there who use it (or some version of it) and like it. Sanyo Xacti c6--very good price on ebay and seriously: sexy as all get out. bekah -- http://missbhavens.blogspot.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, David Meade [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Well I'll make the disclaimer up front: It depends on your budget but ... If you want to go with a real video camera (instead of a digital still camera that also takes videos), you'll get better quality video (and likely sound). If you can afford a 3CCD camera, they are usually somewhat better in low light, but even 1ccd cameras are leaps and bounds over digital stills. Try and find a model that you can easily plug a mic into if you so choose. In my opinion, you should try and pick a model that doesnt require a base station to connect to your computer but rather has a Firewire port on the camera itself. (although if your model saves to an SD card this may not really even be an issue) If your looking at a model that uses miniDV tape, take note where the tape goes in ... some models are designed such that if the camera is mounted on a tripod you cant get to the tape door anymore. A recent thread showed that a number of people in this group are happy with the Panasonic PV-GS150. I have that one and have been quite happy with it ... Also consider how often you'll be taking it out and about with you and how you'll shoot things, some interesting form factors out there now. - Dave On 4/12/06, Mark [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Im sure that this question has been asked 1000 times but here it goes, I am just starting out and have searched all the sites on Vlogging to find out the best starter videocamera, most people say oh anything will work or as long as it uploads to a computer its fine I would like to take this seriously and if I start with something cheap and get to frustrated I might give up... so can anyone tell me the model that they use to shoot with?

[videoblogging] Re: Simple Question
My feed actually isn't sitting there unclaimed...the videos of mine that I found in Veohville were culled from other people's unclaimed feeds. They aggreed to remove them individually via their permalinks (they were gone in a day). I have no idea how it can be prevented from happening again...am I supposed to check Veoh regularly and have them removed each time? That's kind of annoying.

How: Post to the videoblogging group under this subject line that you're going to participate, with a link to your vlog. I'll try to set up an RSS webpage with all the week of vlogs. Anything else? Since it's the week of vlogging dangerously, try to do something risky or different from your routine and vlog it. Maybe it's talking to a stranger, or sneaking a camcorder into a store with NO VIDEO OF THIS PREMISES ALLOWED. Maybe it's subverting the dominant paradigm, or perhaps it's risking your very soul by buying into the paradigm for a day. You decide the file format, server, etc. This is just a challenge to get your out there and videoblogging! What if I fall behind? Post twice the next day. Will you help me? I'll post a Vlogging Dangerously suggestion each day, in case you need inspiration. I hope you don't, though! We're all creative people!
