[videoblogging] Rode Video Mic

2007-09-11 Thread Michael Verdi
I've been using the Rode Video Mic on my Canon HV20 for a few weeks
now and I really like it. Yesterday it dawned on me that because it
supplies it's own power (via 9v battery) and has a 1/8 mini plug I
could probably use it as a computer mic too. So I plugged it into my
MacBook Pro and found it works great for recording a voice over or a
screencast.
Thought that was a cool tip.

[videoblogging] 2 resources for Citizen Journalist

2007-09-11 Thread Jay dedman
The word citizen journalist has always bugged me a littlebut I
guess the idea is for regular people to use journalistic techniques
when telling stories about the world around them.

What's interesting is when professional journalists use blogger
techniques in their reporting.
Its a nice give and take.

here are two resources for groups/people who want to act more like
journalists online:

this is an interesting question.
I dont think ive seen anything like this.
iTunes might be the closest where you can watch a preview of a

Hello,

What you are looking for is usually called Video on Demand... and is
often shortened to VOD.

Although the search engines are quote spammed when you search for any
of those terms.  But you might find something.

My advice for you would be to try to avoid licensing costs or
lock-in for whatever you use.

You could go with a the free and open source WordPress
http://wordpress.org/ software to get what you want -- to get your
turnkey system.

(NOTE... I'm talking about the WordPress software found at
http://wordpress.org/ ... not the free hosting site
http://wordpress.com/ )

You'd need a custom WordPress plugin (to take care of handling your
paid users)... and if you want your own look to the site... a custom
WordPress theme made.

And that's it really.

If you'd like a list of companies that do that let me know.

Given that your manifesto is about less, not more, perhaps you have all you
need at this juncture?

I would add a satellite phone or satellite internet connection, but I don't
know how remote you plan to get, or how often you will be returning to areas
of cellular coverage or available WiFi hotspots.

In our RV, we have a satellite internet receiver, a GPSr (which works in
amusing ways), two cell phones (ATT-- I would recommend getting 2 cells on
different networks, so you have the broadest coverage), and the usual
complement of laptops and cameras. But then, we're not doing a 1-year
journalism exercise, so our goals and needs are different.

when Ryanne and I travel, we always realize we can always pack less.
Especially since we live in the US where it's just the land of
abundance. You can get anything you need anytime you want it.
Sometimes cheap, or even free. (craigslist/freecycle)

I encourage you guys get some kind of production workflow.
its so easy to record record recordand get far far far behind in editiing.
So keep it simple...go out and record a story in a small town. Make
sure you edit it the next day.
nothing slows us down more than a backlog of projects weighing on the mind.

Re: [videoblogging] I invite you to have coffee with dougri and a special project in Cambodia

2007-09-11 Thread Jay dedman
 I just wanted to share my daily vlog with members of the group showing
  a project just completed in Cambodia. This project began with the
  Vloggercon t-shirts donated to the Sharing Foundation in Cambodia. Beth
  Kanter does volunteer work with them, and talked about wanting to bring
  videoblogging to Cambodia. Actually a total of seven camcorders and ten
  digital cams were donated to this project. I had assumed that the three
  Hasbro Vcams I donated were the ones given out at the Camodian bloggers
  summit, but i was mistaken. Jay Dedman and Ryanne Hodson brought four
  video cams to the Sharing Foudnation on their recent trip to Cambodia.
  Beth Kanter acquired three more vcams for the summit where she was
  doing a presentation. This story is just to show the power of the net
  and what four individuals can do. We have given these young people in
  Cambodia the 21st century version of a soapbox to spread the word of
  their various causes and issues.  So please join me for a cup of coffee.

Doug does this cool thing where he make a short video each week on
Youtube to talk about things he likes. It's doug who found the small
50$ Vcams that we took to Camodia.

Actually, this video is a nice continuation of a story that stated on this list:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ggnL-hDLcew
We sent some old Vloggercon t-shirts to some students in Cambodia.
Ryamond, the boy king, said you should send the cameras instead!.
good idea.

So a series of coincidences happened where we could actually visit
cambodia and give the students the cameras that Doug bought. Beth
Kanter visited right after us and did a whole workshop at a Cambodian
blogging conference.

Now we have some Cambodians videoblogging.
Beth, can you share some of the links?

Pro's and Con's to DIY. Big on list is reliability and liability. How
much time you want to put into it vs turning it over to someone else.
Do you want a turnkey solution? The preview to be nearly impossible to
download? Are you looking for Learning Management System
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learning_Management_System#LMS_platforms
 to accompany your videos? In other words will a student complete
these training videos to earn a certificate or some other accreditation?

(*Disclaimer: -  One of my friends/business relationships uses SIMPLY
DIGI.COM's service. I do not make any money, points or kudos)

They are happy with SimplyDigi's service (used for the training videos
and testing for each level of the course completed).
Student response has been good to excellent (depends on age).
Easy to use and navigate as a newbie. Nothing flashy or fancy. 
http://www.simplydigi.com/
http://www.simplydigi.com/products/lms/index.aspx
...A Learning Management System LMS / LCMS handles and controls the
delivery of self-paced, instructor led, e-learning courses. The LMS
lets you publish courses and place them in an easy to use online
catalog. Learners log into the LMS with any browser, select courses
from the course catalog and take them. The LMS tracks the learners
activities, providerships, professional licenses, progress, compliance
with course assignments and much more. The LMS provides online reports
for each course and learner yet is inexpensive and provides the
essential features you need

We shot a simple/straight forward video intro for each course. Another
company produced a Power Point slide show that is the course material.
That PPT was transfered to Flash (pause, rewind, take a break and come
back later or another day). It is secure, allows for a teaser video
and I believe you can customize it to your hearts content to get it to
do what you want.

They do the billing, you do the billing? Lots of questions.

If you just want to password protect the videos to sell, then another
one stop solution to look into is Google APPS
http://www.google.com/a/. You can set up a membership and do some
clever stuff with their other offerings (Google Video, Checkout,
Picaso, GoogleTalk, Orkut).

A while back Amazon had something that looked promising. I cannot for
the life remember what it was called (if it had a distinct name) but
the obvious advantage was a potentially higher ranking in a web
search, a established and secure checkout, and it did provide a
preview. It may have been called Amazon Author (for self publishers).
 If it comes to me I'll post it so that everyone can see it (unless
someone knows and can save me now!!)

There are a few other sites that also might be of use. Jonny
Platinum Goldstein uses http://Operator11.com and that might work.
http://Blip.tv or http://Spinxpress.com could also be a solution.

GoToMeeting is more along the lines of a web conference but (I
believe) there is a way to archive/sell video access.
https://www.gotomeeting.com/

Plenty of other ideas will be shared. If you want to know more about
how we used Simply Digi contact me off list.

2007-09-11 Thread bordercollieaustralianshepherd
Contrary to how or what I have said before (ie... spend your money at
small businesses). In traveling situations it is a good idea to use
things you can buy EVERYWHERE (or just about) Radio Shack for example
is in even the smallest towns. Truck Stops are YOUR FRIEND. Want to
have inexpensive lights? Take a stroll in a Truck Stop's big rig
accessory section. Most everything is 12VDC or 24VDC. Trust me, would
I lie to you?

Wheels Wheels Wheels!!!

Didn't see anything in your video to give me a clue to what you are
hitting the road in. Assuming it is a van (even a mini or SUV) there
should be a way to pack this or similar Handtruck.
http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=37520
I added two additional wheels in the center of the axle. Two reasons
(maybe three) stability, redundancy, and it looks cool. To separate
these two inside wheels I cut a piece of copper pipe (It don't rust).
It works great to haul stuff (saves your back) and as a impromptu
dolly. You need to decide if you want to use a foam fill or carry a
patch kit, or spare tire, and a air pump. When using it as a dolly
(One person stands another push/pulls) you will want to let a little
air out to make a smoother move. There are folding Hand Trucks. If you
go with a cheap one, buy from a company you will be sure to pass often
(lowe's etc) and return it the moment it even starts to look shaky. Or
splurge and go with something like this
http://traveloasis.com/karhds.html 

Charging and electricity.
A inverter is a major help. You can pick up cheap ones that plug into
a cigarette lighter or get a heavy duty (8amp or better) that will
require some electrical work or a pair of jumper cables.
http://tinyurl.com/yufg4s Harbour Frieght is this example. Grainger
or even Lowe's might be worth a look. Pawn Shops occasionally have
inverters. Radio Shack is of course on the list.

A spaceblanket... not just for survival ... it makes a great reflector.

A CB radio. Seriously. If you have the time to hunt there are some
handheld two ways or buy new. Grabbed this from PriceGrabber
http://tinyurl.com/3y3zfm

A etching tool. Mark every piece of gear.

Waterproof dufflebags. More a luxury item, but it sure takes the worry
out of life. Better solution is cases. Pelican
http://www.pelican.com/  makes nice stuff. Think stacking on that
dolly. Think stacking everything!!!

Really small cooler (never transport beer or liquor, especially across
state lines, not joking, if you are stopped it could get you in deeper
doo doo). Fill it the night before or the morning of with just enough
to make the day. On the passenger side floor is good easy access/footrest.

Strapping it all down.
My one eye friend Tom recommends Ratchet Straps. He don't like bungie
cords ... Eye wander why.

AAA or some other trip/safety service, but you should have a road
emergency kit. Up to you, but if you plan to visit the entire 48
contiguous states you will either plan to have it all or modify it as
you make your way across zones. Snow, water, heat yada yada yada.

Which brings me to clothing Tough to do what I am about to
suggest, maybe. No more then 10 days of change in clothing.
Packing smart is not easy, you will get better as the days get behind
you. Pack clothes in days and split them in to at least two bags for
each of you (four total). Roll your stuff, it packs better/tighter.
Use some kind of color codeing if everything is the same (black
waterproof bags/cases). Or tags. And put your name/phone # on as much
or as little as you want. Buy Polar Fleece (new or second hand)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polar_fleece and similar (NEW)
synthetic undergarments. EASY TO CLEAN AND DRIES FAST! (WARNING---
This stuff does melt when exposed to flame or intense heat).

Sleeping Bag rolls up around foam mat. It is a puzzle. You'll start to

Shoes that are comfortable and a second pair. Socks that wick moisture

All this can be stowed in places you seldom look anyway, under seats.

They mixed some YouTube vids in there, too, but they gave good time to Jay
and Ryanne as well.  I had just turned on the tube and they were in the
process of going to a commercial, and they led with an image of Ryanne from
her (and Jay's) famous series of loverly videos.  So how 'bout that, huh?

In Eagle Rock (where they filmed Reservoir Dogs) they have a old movie
theater, the Eagle Theater, which may be available for rent.  I think it may
still be owned by Fred Eric, who also owns the hipster cafe Fred 62 in Los
Feliz:

Eagle Rock is located between Pasadena and Glendale, right on Route 66.
Nice WiFi coffee shop right up the street, some good restaurants including
the Best Pizza in L.A., Casa Bianca (where they call it a pizza pie).

It's a fairly large theater, seats at least 200, I would think.
