You are a gem. What an Unselfish reason to get involved in video blogging. You might want to take this idea to the guys that did goog411 or Viddler or Mogulus or Blip and get some help (dollars support). http://www.google.com/goog411/ Speech recognition already in their bag-o-tricks. http;//blip.tv There is a video interview (I wish I had teh link handy) where the CEO explains that Blip is not just a service but a active participant in the development of new ideas. http://mogulus.com/ This is a crazy idea, but I can imagine hiring a bunch of folks that can do ASL Interpreting and building a network of freelancers that do channel's on Mogulus. Heck I can imagine doing it on Blip etc... Mogulus comes to mind because (like some others) you can mix other souces in for a real time translation. http://www.viddler.com/ has a comments feature. Not exactly a way to share or do ASL the way I think you are thinking. So a Deaf Blogger posts and uses ASL, types a transcript (exact or rough) and then others (deaf and hearing) could comment. Just throwing out my NOT ASKED FOR for 2 cents ... no wonder so few answer my requests/questions ... :-) If I had the money I'd love to give it to you.

Thanks Marc. I am so pleased that this group is in existence. I live in the UK, and I'm no techie, just an end user who is really interested in how the net can be utilised better. Specifically on video blogging, this is just the thing that I've been looking for in relation to Deaf people. Blogging is a great tool, but it relies on written English / other written languages, which can make it inaccessible for Deaf people. For some time, I've wanted to see video blogging ... whereby the entries are simply videos, which inevitably are signed by the Deaf person. This would be a huge advancement in terms of Deaf people collectively having a voice plus empowerment. Traditionally they've been at the mercy of organisations, which = paternalistic. I like the idea how blogs can be individual yet collective / interelated, and an great opportunity to record grass root opinion. I am aware this would take up an enormous amount of bandwidth, plus server space .. so I question how realistic this dream is. Deaf people are starting to use web chat rooms such as camfrog.com but this is obviously a chat room, and blogs are a different animal. Ideally, I would like to see blogging software such as MT, Blogger etc, create video blogs and its not just uploaded files to a standard blog. If that makes any sense? So that's why I'm here. Alison

Re: [videoblogging] money
Based on one episode (the one with the old school friend and the birthday party) I don't see anything that indicates they COULDN'T have paid for it out of pocket. They thank Art Institute, NYC so they may be getting equipment through a connection there, or just have it: nothing here requires more than a DV camera, a good mic on a boom feeding a camera a second recorder, a small light kit (if that, and the lighting is pretty odd), and editing software. They may have more than that, they may not. It *is* more competently edited and acted then most sitcom-via-videoblog stuff I've seen. What would drive it into the budget (as opposed to no budget) category would be if the people are being paid.

[videoblogging] Personal Satisfaction vs. Marketability
Amongst the YouTubers that came to Pixelodeon was Caitlin Hill, aka TheHill88 http://flickr.com/photos/ekai/543134602/. Recently, she posted a video to YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KQv4koF1n0 which was a response to other people's responses to her video called Chris Crocker + TV Show = A Load of Crock http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYGmO_zCU6QNR=1. Now I know Caitlin's one of the YouTubers that's doing a character. She does mostly goofy entertainment skits. If she's acting in these two videos, I'll tip my hat, because she seems perfectly serious to me. There are lots of things I find interesting about these videos, including the fact that she seems to have a good grasp on the difference between laughing at and laughing with and she's basically putting down the exact same type of videos that she does herself. She also says that she liked [her work] way more before she cared what other people thought. At this point, AFAIK, she's in the YouTube Partner program. Her punchline at the end of the Crocker video is Please realize this. Reality TV is like YouTube... Need I say more? Granted, I don't watch many YouTube Character videos, so I have no idea whether lots of people are saying this, but (again, if we're to take her seriously, and I've chosen to do that after having watched both videos) her stance seems to be opposing the stance of anything that anybody does is worthwhile to anybody but themselves and anybody who gets sponsored or chosen to do something has been deemed a quality performer. I find it to be a very progressive and insightful stance from someone who specializes in deliberately-goofy videos. Obviously, Caitlin has been exposed to more of the industry, and that may be coloring her view of sit in front of your webcam videos. I wanted to post this in light of some people mentioning that the recent conversations in this group have been about money. How do we get paid? How do we monetize? How do we get sponsored? How do we grow and maintain an audience? How do we get more hits? How do we get more distribution? What kinds of ads should we run? I agree from my own perspective with what Caitlin had to say about caring what people think. That's partially why what was going to be a personal battle with Vergel Evans http://Lx7.ca became Vlog Deathmatch: Video Music Challenge http://vlogdeathmatch.blogspot.com/2007/05/bill-cammacks-official-music-video.html. I had basically bored myself to death doing videos that conformed to what the public was consuming or what was being done in the space. I love that particular video I did with ActionGirl, because it was fun, she brought fantastic energy to the project, and I was consistently, progressively creative during the time we shot it and I edited it. That's more my style and what I got involved with video to do in the first place. I also really enjoyed the diversity and creativity of the other 19 entries in the contest, which I really think of more as a festival. I've also had the *rare* reaction of Damn... I wish *I* had made that video when I see Jay Smooth's creativity in his videoblog Ill Doctrine http://www.illdoctrine.com/2007/06/the_ill_doctrine_dipset_anthem.html http://www.illdoctrine.com/2007/07/john_lee_hooker_i_get_money_fr.html. I guess it all comes down to what YOU would do if you weren't concerned with numbers or viewers or getting sponsored or paying bills through videoblogging... the exact opposite of what we've been discussing lately. Maybe you're already doing exactly what you want. Maybe your videos are already personally satisfying to you. I've been getting A LOT of satisfaction cutting Scriggity http://scriggity.com with Drew Olanoff @ Shauna. Just last night, Clintus McGintus told us he was with the program to do Scriggity epidodes, so it's just getting better and better. :D I wonder what the percentage is between people that actually enjoy what they're doing and people that do their shows specifically to get hits, sponsorship or attention. If you're not going to do videos that *you* like or even LOVE, make sure the ROI's worth it. Otherwise, you might be better off keeping your day job and making videos that are completely unmarketable, yet personally fulfilling. -- Bill http://billcammack.com

[videoblogging] Re: money
These guys definitely paid for it out of pocket, at least the first half-dozen episodes. I've met the crew a few times in NYC - very cool guys - and interviewed them back in June - http://tinyurl.com/393pwp - right after they signed with UTA. Awesome show.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: money
weneedgirlfriends are my friends- as far as i know they pay for their own production, though i know they are trying to cut a tv deal- they may have been picked up by a management team.

[videoblogging] I'm Baack - With A Problem
Hi everyone: Just wanted to let everyone know I AM BAACK from my forced hiatus (More on that in an upcoming post to As My World Turns). That said, I have a problem. Recently I bought a Mustek DV 5300 SE Digital Camera that does still photos, video and audio (Jay, didn't you and Ryanne buy one too or is it from a different manufacturer or a different make and/or model?). Anyhow, my problem is this. The camera records video in ASF format. I have Windows Media 11 with the VCM and Bonus Codec Packs and it can't find a codec to render the video. Not sure if the problem lies with the audio portion or the video portion GSpot (Which, for those who don't know, is a utility that can be used to give specific details about a video when it comes to being able to decode it, what codec was used to encode it, and whether or not you have the codec on your system to render it) says that the video is a _COMPLIANT_ MPEG-4 video HOWEVER it also says that the codec status is UNDETERMINED. It is the codec status that STUMPS THE HELL OUT OF ME. Screenshots of GSpot's findings can be posted on the web and/or put in the files section if need be (I've also got a minute long video I can post too). The screen resolution is 640 x 480 (Which is the factory default setting for some oddball reason). It is because Windows Media can't render it that I can't get another player to play it (I've tried EVERYTHING under the freakin' sun from MPC to obscure players like GOMplayer (Which like MPC will play everything under the sun AS WELL AS partial downloads from file sharing networks). I've also tried converting it to a traditional WMV video using WME and Movie Maker (More on MM in another post as I have another problem there too) and tried converting it to AVI using STOIK VideoPak and VirtualDub. I've also tried converting it to MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 using TMPGEnc (Which usually works on just about anything related to Windows Media). And I've even tried converting it straight to MP4 using Videora and Jodix. All have been fruitless and out of futility. Just moments ago (Now that I'm back amongst the online world), I went digging and Googling on the web to see if there was a codec and/or plugin out there that would work. The closest thing I found wouldn't work with WMP 11 (It was designed when WMP 10 was the order of the day). Given all of this, I am out of places to turn to and am now seeking H E L P in resolving the issue. I'd like to be able to decode/render them so I can edit them with Movie Maker as soon as I get that fixed and ultimately be able to post my videos from that camera to AMWT TV and my political vlog. Any help you can give me would be appreciated :D Cheers :D -- Pat Cook Denver, Colorado BLOGS PODCASTS - AS MY WORLD TURNS - http://pchamster.livejournal.com/ **NEW VLOG** AS MY WORLD TURNS - http://asmyworldturnstv.blogspot.com/ (Same As Above - Only In Quicktime MP4 format) PAT'S REAL DEAL VIDEO BLOG - http://patsrealdeal.livejournal.com/ PAT'S HEALTH MEDICAL WONDERS VIDEOCAST - http://patshealthmedicalwondersvideocast.blogspot.com/ YOUTUBE CHANNEL - http://www.youtube.com/amwowttv/ THE PAT COOK SHOW - http://www.livevideo.com/thepcshow THE PAT COOK SHOW (Blogger Page) - http://thepctvshow.blogspot.com/ THE PAT COOK SHOW (Audio Podcast) - http://thepcradioshow.blogspot.com/
