[videoblogging] Re: Hey PodTech - What's up with Lan's image?
After looking at the poster, I'm wondering if it doesn't fall into the fair use category. It was a faded background image and it wasn't the only photo on the poster. Don't let this go to court, Lan. You might lose everything.
[videoblogging] Mac Questions
I am switching from my PC to Mac and I'm trying to decide if the new MacBook Pros with the NVidia video chips are worth an extra $1000. Have any of you noticed a big difference between the MacBook Pros and the normal MacBooks? It takes forever to render a DVD on my PC using Adobe Premiere Elements and I'm hoping to streamline the process. Additionally, is Final Cut Pro worth the extra $600 or should I just go with Final Cut Express or even iMovie/iDVD? I am having a hard time justifying the expense to my husband. Can you give me any ammunition?
[videoblogging] Re: Mac Questions
Thanks to everyone! That really helped me a lot. Since I'm not doing any 3D rendering, just straight video, it looks the the normal MacBook with as much RAM as I can get will be the best for me. I'm going to try out iMovie and see if it's enough and then move on to FCE if not. Thanks again!
[videoblogging] Re: The Shallow Nature of Video Blogging
Okay, I'll bite. The reason our small glimpses into our lives are just as important as the carnage that is happening in Iraq is because it's all HISTORY. Five hundred years from now, historians are going to be looking at our vlogs trying to fathom what life was like during our time. We are going to be the journals that document ordinary life just like Jane Austen's writing documented Victorian England. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Shannon Noble [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: You know, sometimes I look at my own expressions and the content of my work, as well as many others here, and think how shallow and meaningless much of what we do is. We put our own meaning on it as it really has none of it's own. It is all enculturated. We make it up for or own selves to get what we want from others.

[videoblogging] Re: MGP and The Shallow Nature of Video Blogging
In answer to your questions, I think Michael Verdi has an excellent site teaching beginners how to vlog http://freevlog.org/ He really taught me how to get my video on to the web without using companies like YouTube that own a piece of your copyright when you upload them. I watched a panel at SXSW that talked about how to add video to your weblog, but the panel didn't teach us much. The website did, though. It's a little Mac-centric, however. All the comments in this group are. Since 80% of the market is PC (I'm guessing on percentages, but I know it's a majority), you REALLY need to have someone who can teach people how to do things with a PC. I struggled for a long time and did some reviews of video-editing software for PCs: http://www.gadgetspage.com/audio-video/ver.html Maybe these resources can help you. Good luck, Laura Moncur --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Aldon Hynes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I've been fascinated by the discussion about 'The Shallow Nature of Video Blogging'. Enric asks what this has to do with videoblogging. I think that is a very good and important question. Personally, I want people to view my work. I want them to think that I've said something important. I want to change peoples lives through my work. (Granted most of my work is still text based and isn't really life changing. That is part of why I come here to learn from some of you.) I guess my reaction is something like this: If a videoblogger posts a video of a tree falling in the forest, and no one watches the video, does it matter? In light of all of this, I would like to take Enric's question to return to talking about technique, method, and related activity. What technique's and methods are going to help me produce videoblogs that people won't dismiss as shallow? I have a very specific motive in this. I am convening the citizen filmmaking track at the Media Giraffe Project summit at University of Massachusetts, Amherst on June 29th. I am looking for the videos that illustrate the depth and beauty that videoblogging can provide. I'm looking for people that can help others improve their craft. So, let me ask you a favor. Can people on this list nominate people and videos that I can contact? ** Who are the best people to introduce others to how to make online videos? Here, I'm looking for real nuts and bolts stuff here. Who can speak best about different cameras? Who can speak best about different editing tools, etc. ** Who are the best people to introduce others about making animations? Here, I'm looking at various styles, Flash, Machinima, 3D animatios, AMVs, etc. ** If you could attend a master class on film making, aimed at videobloggers, who would you want to teach the class? ** Who are the best people to talk about getting videos distributed online? Here, I'm thinking about the people that can talk most intelligently about pros and cons of different services like YouTube, Blip.TV, vSocial, ClipShack etc. I'm also thinking about the best way to get other people to find your videos. Thoughts about sites like current.tv etc. Finally, I'm interested in if anyone is doing stuff with bringing the best of video blogs beyond the web, for example to public access TV. ** Finally, what are the best videos out there? Please let me know your thoughts on this. Don't be shy. Feel free to nominate yourself if you think you have something special to offer.

[videoblogging] Re: clean wiki for Vloggercon
I looked at the wiki for the events. It would be really helpful to the people from out of town if the addresses for the events were included. For example, I have NO idea where the Apple store is. According to the rumors in SLC, there is an Apple store on every corner in San Francisco just like the churches here. Are we supposed to call the names of the people on the wiki to RSVP? Should there be an RSVP thing on the wiki?
