[videoblogging] Advice about Lavalier mike
Following Kent's advice on the importance of audio, I am looking for an affordable leveler microphone. I bought some audio equipment in the past, and got a bit burned with buying things that were not exactly what I need. For a set of a news room, outdoor interview and such, I thought of buying the following microphone: AUDIO TECHNICA ATR-35S Lavalier Microphone It is relatively cheap, wireless is not a must, and I read good reviews about it. Did anyone here buy this microphone? Do you have any other recommendation for a lavalier microphone? Thanks!

[videoblogging] Re: Advice about Lavalier mike
Any Lav will do, especially if you're using noise reduction before final output. The only goal is for the mic to pick up the subject's sound without picking up too much (or hopefully any) of the other person's sound so there's no 'bleed' between the channels. Make sure there's enough play in the cable so the subject doesn't pull on it, causing the mic to move, introducing obvious noises into your audio. MOST importantly, monitor the audio with headphones AFTER the final output. If you have two mics plugged into a mixer plugged into a miniDV camera, attach your headphones to the *camera*, not to the mixer. You want to know EXACTLY what's going on tape. That's because the mics are VERY sensitive to movement, which you won't hear through the air. Movement of a lapel, playing with a tie, putting a hand over the mic... It won't mean anything to you, listening through the air, but when you try to edit, you'll wonder where all that annoying scratching came from. -- Bill http://billcammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Kfir Pravda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Following Kent's advice on the importance of audio, I am looking for an affordable leveler microphone.

Hey Kfir In case you are ordering that lav online or by phone, it is not wireless. It has a cord/cable. Good mic for under $50.00 (US). There is good info if you search the messages. Under $100.00 the choices are few. $100 - $500 and you have a better selection. The other day I was looking for an answer and ran across this company Gemini Sound (geminidj.com), they do DJ gear. Some of the options Gemini - http://www.geminidj.com/ux16.html Nady - http://www.nadypro.com/cat_wireless_microphone.cfm Shure - http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/Products/index.htm Azden - http://www.azdencorp.com/shop/customer/home.php?cat=29 Sennheiser - http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/category.asp?transid=cat50 AKG - http://www.akg.com/ Telex - http://www.telex.com/ Big tip - You want more than one channel. Deciding between UHF/VHF will depend on where you will use it most often. UHF is good if you are in several different cities. You or others around you will have more wireless mics on at the same time or there is a lot of radio signals around (stations, dispatching etc) VHF is cheaper but the down side is every one likes cheap, so you may have others on your same freq. TV signals and other stuff is on VHF too so cities and towns (metro areas) are not the best place for VHF. If you are out in the country or suburbs there might be less interference. Used is a good option. If you locate a good source (ebay is always worth a shot) look for a deal on a wireless system with a Lavalier and a handheld mic. You will be glad you have it. --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Kfir Pravda [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Following Kent's advice on the importance of audio, I am looking for an affordable leveler microphone.

Re: [videoblogging] Re:Miro
One line occurs to me as I read through all these. VIDEO WANTS TO BE SOCIAL. I'd challenge the Miro people to make it more SOCIAL of an experience. I think the move AWAY from the permalink button back to the website, and toward obtuse interactive favoriting system is what causes Miro to be so disconnected. Not going to go into what I mean by social. But I will say... VIDEO IS THE NEW PHOTO. Think flickr. Video does want to be social. -mike mefeedia.com mmeiser.com/blog On 9/28/07, Patrick Race [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I love the idea behind Miro and I'm very supportive of the project but I'm like Bill.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Powerupload (was Uploading videos to multiple sites)
It seems to have worked well, and distributed our video across 20 or so different platforms, including the ones we were previously uploading to by hand, Blip, Vimeo, Youtube, Google, Yahoo, etc.. The downside is that each *upload* costs $0.99, not each video. So if you wanted to upload a video to all 50 sites they support, it would cost 50 bucks. Pretty pricey, but a useful service.

Hey guys, I missed the NME, but spent the weekend finishing off the sites etc. ChannelFlip.com and its shows (Unwiredshow.tv, PlayDigital.tv, Discusshow.tv) are now up and running in 'beta' form - IE, no animations and snazzy lower thirds, editing is a bit rough, sites need tidying up. But, on the plus side, it seems that things, you know, work. We are shooting on a regular schedule now and will have one 5-min ep of each show up three times a week. Thought you guys would be interested - more episodes to come on Wednesday and Friday. Cheers, Wil.

[videoblogging] Re: Video commenting system for Wordpress
Another option for those interested in video commenting systems for Wordpress is Revver's new plugin for Wordpress. The plugin enables video responses to your posts, and your subscribers are automatically given a Revver account when they sign up and post video responses so they earn (and you earn as a sharer on their video responses). The plugin also allows you to upload videos to Revver directly through your blog (+ auto-publish upon video approval), and manage your Revver account and videos all right from your blog More info and example sites are here: http://one.revver.com/go/wp/ -unclealex [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Dennis Poulette [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just installed riffly wordpress plugin on my vlog can you go check it out and see if it works with your webcam?

I want you to shoot a video starting off with This one time at Podcamp... and tell me about an experience you had at a podcamp event. I don't care what size or specs they are. Send your clips to clintus at idoitdigital.com by Monday 10/08/07 to insure your story makes the promo. And if you have nothing going on that weekend, head on over to podcampaz.org and sign up for a session; either as an attendee or a speaker.
