[videoblogging] Introduction SXSW query

2007-03-07 Thread Tamara Krinsky

Hi all: 

I've been lurking on this list for almost two years, occasionally 
posting a comment when relevant, but mainly just coasting along for 
hte ride. I thought it was finally time to go public...I'm going to 
SXSW for the film/interactive conference at the end of this week and 
wanted to find out if anyone else was heading down to Austin...then I 
realized I've never actually said an official hello to the group! 

I first became acquainted with this list when Current TV was doing 
it's talent search, back in the days when it was inDtv. Someone 
turned me on to this group, and it's been amazing reading everyone's 
posts. Thanks to all for sharing their knowledge and insights. I have 
learned a lot from reading everyone's comments as I've come to play 
more and more in the new media universe. 

A little about me...I'm an actress  journalist. I've spent the past 
several years programming for film festivals, and thus have spent far 
too many hours in a small dark room watching many, many movies. In 
May 2006 I started working for a new site called iklipz.com, which is 
a video-sharing site specifically aimed at independent filmmakers. 
Given the type of site I work for, the recent YouTube/MySpace thread 
was especially interesting.  

I've been producing  working as a correspondent for iklipz,  a lot 
of my segments can be found at www.iklipz.com/TamaraKrinsky. I don't 
consider this video blogging, as the segments are very Entertainment 
Tonight-esque, but they're fun and I've gotten to talk to some great 
talent, so check them out if you are an indie film fan.  The benefit 
of working for the site is that it has given me the opportunity to 
learn a lot and finally acquire some new media making tools, which I 
hope to put to use videoblogging when I return from SXSW. 

If you're going to be down in Austin, please give a shout. I've never 
been to this particular festival and would love to hear more about 
navigating it from anyone who's been. 

Cheers,
Tamara Krinsky

That's genius, David.  So the fact is, you CAN just use an ordinary A/ 
V cable, but Apple have switched the cables so that you have to plug  
the red cable into the video socket and the yellow into the audio.   
Just so they can sell overpriced proprietary accessories that do  
exactly the same thing, but with the cables switched.  That's a cheap  
trick.  I like Apple less and less every time I read about them, and  
I used to be a huge fan.

Liberté, égalité, fraternité.  Whatever.
It's depressing.  Even more depressing that a country as big and rich  
and 'free' as France can take such a huge step towards state control  
without anybody hearing about it.  You will be all right in the US.   
Your current administration would have loved to pass a law like this  
if it could have, of course.  But it can't without a massive debate  
about the first amendment.  We're not lucky enough in the UK to have  
a written constitution, or anything concrete that protects freedom of  
speech or of the press.  It's all about public approval and press  
power here.  Using 'happy slapping' as justification like the French  
did, is a typically cynical and depressingly successful way to bring  
the public with you on bad law.  Hopefully, the press here would  
fight something like this.  But you never know.  We've had some bad,  
bad laws passed here since 9/11 with barely a murmur from the press.   
Like it being a criminal offence to express any protest within 1 mile  
radius of the houses of parliament, effectively killing  
demonstrations and dissent in the center of London.  Many people have  
been convicted, just for exercising their democratic right to free  
speech.  So, you never know.  Got to use our voices and the internet  
if it starts to happen here.  Pity the French didn't do the same.

The French Constitutional Council has approved a law that
criminalizes the filming or broadcasting of acts of violence by people
other than professional journalists. The law could lead to the
imprisonment of eyewitnesses who film acts of police violence, or
operators of Web sites publishing the images, one French civil
liberties group warned on Tuesday.snip

David,

The deal is that my iPod is broken.

I used to watch from the iPod all the time.

I want to know how to watch form the mac directly to TV.

Anyway, Bill's thing appears that it will work.

And I appreciate your response anyway :)
