After reading all these posts in one fell swoop, I've the idea to come up with something -- together, that is -- that will help those that find it difficult to find the time or energy or what to participate. Videoblogging Week seems to be all about helping vloggers and would-be vloggers get going, by encouraging them (us) to post anything at all, once a day for a week. I agree with Ryanne: It's a challenge, a pain in the rump (but a good one), but one I look forward to. I participated last year and had a blast.
Still: It can be a bit *too* challenging for *everyone*, so I propose we come up with a way to assist those who desire to participate but just can't come up with the time to encode their videos and upload them, especially if they haven't much experience in these tasks in the first place. Why don't we have some of those Flash videoconference sessions that week, as well? Like one every day or something, in order to enable those who want to participate to say "hello" on camera; they'll be recorded, of course, and the resulting video will be available online. I feel that those Flash sessions can help a person break through the shyness of being on camera (if one makes it to the videoconference, that is). Now, for those without a webcam or camcorder that can be used for this, I propose we come up with something else. Anyone have any ideas? Remember, this is intended to make it as easy as possible for those without the time or energy to post the video. Perhaps a video relay? Everyone record their video and then hand it off to someone locally who has the time (and energy) to encode/edit/upload/vlog the video? Other ideas welcome and appreciated...
