[videoblogging] My new video obsession....
Hey all Lately my small life has become consumed with making videos on the Facebook. I'm not sure why.. you dont get stats, you cant see who has been watching them, and you don't get an RSS feed. In fact, all you can do is record into the web browser and tag it with your friends names if they are in the video-- you cant even make up your own tags!! But its become a very intimate connector for me. It's like Ruperts Twittervlog, but without the expensive camera and monthly phone plan. Blip.tv used to have a similar feature early-on that only worked in Safari. I remember using it in a similar way, but the Facebook version is really well done and should be abused by all videobloggers! Its strange, but for some reason I enjoy making these sorts of videos this way, but on my personal site I want to make stories in a different way. With the In-Browser Recording, I like to just communicate in an instant messenger sort of way. Does that make sense to anyone else? It's the immediacy of the process that I enjoy (again, it helps me understand why Rupert and Steve get excited about their phones) Anyway, here are the couple I've done: < http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=880965647> I encourage you to make some of your own! Right now! Schlomo http://schlomolog.blogspot.com http://weknowhow.tv http://winkshow.com http://hatfactory.net [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] My new video obsession....
Yes, it is so easy and quick. The weekend I bought my MacBook Pro (with built in iSight) I started playing with video on facebook (http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=510268286366 - prolly can't see unless you're my friend on facebook, feel free to add me). A friend of mine bought a MBP the weekend before me and we found it easy and fun to have a video conversation by tagging each other. It got out of hand a bit and turned into something else that we decided to take off of facebook (http://vlogfight.blogspot.com) because it is a limited viewing environment. I tried to find another more open place to post quick and easy videos but none I found do it as well as facebook. And if the type of video you are making is meant to be more intimate, it works out really well. -- Kary Rogers http://karyhead.com On Jul 6, 2007, at 12:26 PM, schlomo rabinowitz wrote: > Hey all > > Lately my small life has become consumed with making videos on the > Facebook.

Ok. First you need a USB camera. Best to check maccam for devices that are reported to have worked. You can check for that here... http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/cameras/index.php Now that you found a cam that works, download and install the most recent version of Maccam... http://webcam-osx.sourceforge.net/downloads.html If all goes well, here is where you will need to spend a few dollars. You will need iChatUSBCam. $9.95 http://www.ecamm.com/mac/ichatusbcam/ Now, your USB cam should all be set to work with ichat, skype and the flash meetings. I installed both maccam and ichatusbcam. I'm not really sure if both are actually needed though. I do know that you need ichatusbcam if you want your camera to work in ichat and skype. Hope that helps.

Re: [videoblogging] My new video obsession....
I started watching earlier today, but got interrupted. Happy Birthday! It's like the iSight was built for you, Schlomo. Very few people could make films as entertaining as that with their MBPs. I bet no one else's MBP iSight videos will get shown at Pixelodeon next year. And it feels different somehow that it's on Facebook... sorry - "the Facebook". Nicer forum for it than just a mass video sharing site or a blog. (that reminds me - I saw on Viddler they're giving away iPhones to people who make 30 second MeToday videos this month.) What you say makes total sense to me - the immediacy and satisfaction of it. It's been low maintenance creative fun for me to snap stuff, cut it occasionally in the phone and just send it off. You only have to worry about what's in front of the camera - you haven't got half your brain in the future, thinking about downloading, compressing, uploading, posting, etc and whether what you're shooting is worth the effort down the line. So it just frees you to just Do Stuff. The little creative muscles need flexing as well as the big ones. Not that mine would be as fun as yours, but I'd love to be able to do it. God DAMN, i wish i could afford a Macbook Pro (the phone i use was a free upgrade btw, and the phone plan is pretty average - all data goes via regular wifi). I am in webcam hell with this Powerbook. The other night i had to use my big old XL1 DV camera as a webcam for the flashmeeting - and then it ran out of battery. And I'd left the power cord somewhere. Anybody have a Powerbook with a webcam that actually works well? With iChat, etc? Care to let me know what it is??

Blip.tv used to have a similar feature early-on that only worked in Safari. I remember using it in a similar way, but the Facebook version is really well done and should be abused by all videobloggers! Its strange, but for some reason I enjoy making these sorts of videos this way, but on my personal site I want to make stories in a different way.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics
We've had our Blip show, the Art of K9Disc, for exactly 19 months. 86 episodes 46,488 views 73 comments 6 episodes over 1000 views Our most viewed video has 1,441 views. Over at Daily Motion (Have not been there in Months): 5 Episodes 4,504 views 4 Comments On You Tube where we've dropped a few episodes over the last 11 months: 11 epidosdes 8,873 total views 4, 267 is our most viewed video (same vid...different place) 1 episode over 1000 views. Over at youtube, some of our older videos have been posted by other people, and the most viewed is the same video with, last time I checked, over 14,000 views. We have a few more old skool vids show up that had up to a couple thousand views. I've been posting video online for about 10 years now, starting in 1997 with K9Athlete.com. It was supposed to be a video site and training resource (the best way to learn how to jam with your dog is to watch good people doing it). Back then, a T1 line in Dallas was only about $800. I was doing a lot of flash development, just learning, really, actionscripting, friction, animation and stuff, and I was going to make it happen. A Discdog training resource with video. Then we moved, lost hi-speed internet for a year, killing my creativity and bandwidth exploded in terms of cost. I was out of the video production thing quick. I shifted focus to setting up a community, and found blip in December 2005. With the ease of posting and distributing video, Blip got the fire going again This is what our community looks like now: http://k9disc.com It's really cool. Joomla, SMF Forum, Blip Widgets, But, back to the Youtube reposts and some lying stats... I was actually quite happy to find the videos posted up on You Tube. Sure I wish I had gotten the credit, and the ability to push traffic to our site, but lots of people were taught something, or forced to smile and feel good for a few, and besides they were old vids, and I had not posted them, as they were lost and not that important to post. I think we're doing better on blip because of the distribution blip affords us, and the fact that we have a community that relies on blip. There are lots of discdoggers posting there and pushing their vids out to people that visit k9disc.com. It's really nice. Thanks to all that shared some of their stats and such. It was good to go back and take a look at our stats. It's not really been that important to me of late.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Lies, Damned Lies And Statistics
The thought occurs to me that is amazing is you start adding up this long tail of pag views... all of you combined and it starts adding up pretty quick. I'm very pleased with the way blip is going and it certainly seems to be attracting a lot of big groups that are aimed at making "shows" or episodic and entertainment content and helping those groups monetize their work. Something youtube has failed at... and youtube has also failed at letting people control their brand. Anyway, the vlogosphere has two sides and the key is that it grows up as not only an entertainment industry... but also as a communications industry. The communications industry model is much tougher. Entertainment monetization is all about advertising. Maybe a la carte media sale like Cruxy.org too. But the communications industry favors "freemium services"... pro-level services like flickr PRO... OR as google has demonstrated time and again, most recently with making Feedburner Pro-level free... supporting those services with advertising, tracking and other high level means that only become available when they're massed in large quanities which is to say when markets meet a critical mass. Anyway, I hope as these numbers start to quickly add up wether there's you intend vlogging like you share photos... or wether you intend to aim at a mass market that blip.tv and others (like mefeedia) will find new metrics... favoriting, thumbs up, subscriptions, comments, etc., etc. to accurately represent no matter what is important to you. -Mike On 7/5/07, David Howell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > When I first started posting videos, I was completely obsessed with my > stats.

For mounting camera's on dashboards, I guess I would suggest using a little tiny tripod that is attached to a beadbag. The nice thing about a bean bag is that it conforms to what it sits on, and IF you replace the beans (or whatever) with steel shot, then it will be heavy enough to actually stay where you put it, without doing permanent damage to the dash. Also it allows you to move it to the seat, or wherever. It also comes in very handy when you are doing an interview at a table that you want to have the camera stable but not so hard to setup. I suggest a tripod simply because you want to the ability to adjust the angle of shooting. So a litte bitty tripod - very short - you mostly want the head, mounted to a steelshot bag. have fun! Milt

Re: [videoblogging] HI, I am new here
Hi Amy, Great idea. Great adventure... I'm subscribed, now. Gena has great advice. I would also say to always remember the networks online, where you can ask questions and shoot the breeze and connect with some of your viewers. As well as asking questions here and joining facebook, flickr, etc - join Twitter. You can keep up with it via your cellphone as well as online. And add ruperthowe and then look for the other vloggers I talk to and add them too. Then they'll add you back and will hear what you say, and you can chat and ask questions at all times of day and night and tell people when you've posted another film. It's social networking at its lightest and most immediate. You're going to be posting a lot, too - so you need to get your workflow down and speed up your processes, cos otherwise you'll spend your whole life editing, compressing and uploading video, nevermind the shooting and the maintenance of the blog. It can be a real hassle. There are lots of tips for good ways to do things at freevlog.org. It can be *super* lightweight - I shoot and cut on my phone and email the video over a wifi connection to Blip, who then automatically crosspost it to my Blog. But I'm sure you'll want more camera and editing power than that. Play with it, see what you can streamline so that it's more fun than chore. Have fun :) Rupert http://twittervlog.tv/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/twittervlog/ On 6 Jul 2007, at 00:02, amy_bugbee wrote: Hi Everyone, My name is Amy.
