[videoblogging] re: Did anyone see the Frontline segment on Josh Wolf tonight?

[ryan junell]

just watched it... its really a great frontline series...

this was the 2nd of 3 parts... they pretty much ended
on josh's story to show a very extreme example of
this administration's approach to a free press. and they
state that he holds the record for longest jailed journalist
in contempt of court...

looks like part three might feature amanda and rocketboom,
too... congrats on making waves!

[ryan junell]

I'm about to watch it in the bay area at 10pm on KQED tonight...

I actually just received a hopeful and inspiring letter from josh today!
I wrote  him early last week...

he writes:

"... it is important to live your life each day thinking about 
whether you are contributing a positive effect or a negative one. 
chaos theory dictates that every thing we do has a larger effect no 
matter how minor - or perhaps it is quantum theory - but either way 
its something I keep in mind on a regular basis."

and he says writing is "definitely appreciated"

you can find his mailing address here:
http://freejosh.pbwiki.com/Write%20Josh%20Letters


p.s. see y'all at sxsw!

[videoblogging] Vloggercon? (was Re: Tuesday FlashMeeting)

[Enric]

We talked about other things.  Though Randy mentioned "Vloggercon" in
the FlashMeeting chat.  And I'm thinking it would be nice to have
Vloggercon this year. I don't know if people are up for organizing it
-- it's a bit of work.

[yattacheese]

Is anyone watching the second part of Frontline's "News War" tonight?
 I haven't seen it yet but wondered what people thought of the way
they handled Josh's story.

[videoblogging] Re: Introduction. I'm new here. Grace Piper of Fearless Cooking

[Grace Piper]

Hah!
You might appreciate this, on your website it says one of your classes
"is made up of a small group of seniors". I instantly thought oh isn't
  that great, he works with the elderly in new media. :>
Those kids did a great job I really enjoyed hearing what they had to say.

I am very lucky to have pro friends who work at the BBC who shoot and edit
me. I am working on separating myself from them though. I've bought a
Sony DCR-HC38 and I plan on(this week) learning to edit myself. I'll be
putting out a  show a week soon. I'll keep Fearless Cooking about once
a month, with the mad talent I have helping me. I just like the idea
of returning to my indie roots.

[videoblogging] Re: Does personal vlogging matter anymore?

[Kevin Buckstiegel]

Agreeing with the others, the first thing I think of when videoblog is
mentioned is the personal aspect. I see more and more 'shows' popping
up, which is great, but always think of them as add-on to the original
concept... sharing personal stories. I remember a lot of the original
discussion back a year and half ago when so much was being ironed out
and pre-youtube days. Seems like I'm stuck in that era sometimes :)
Great thing is, no rules... but I personally love the personal and
intimate nature of video blogs.

Kev!

[videoblogging] Introduction. I'm new here. Grace Piper of Fearless Cooking

[Grace Piper]

Hi,
I just joined your group and thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Grace,
host of Fearless Cooking, a video podcast that I shoot out of my
kitchen and some of the places I travel to.
I'm originally from Boston, but lived in Los Angeles for a bit working
in indie film and writing content for various internet startups (none
of which survived the internet bust). I've been in NY for about a year. 

I'm still relatively new to podcasting, so I'll probably just lurk for
a bit until I've figured out how this forum works. 

Folks from Blip.tv and Veoh.com told me about you.

Looking forward to getting to know you all.

[videoblogging] Re: Does personal vlogging matter anymore?

[David]

As someone who has made "shows" I wonder if the differences between 
them and the "personal vlog" are not so great?  My "shows" are very 
personal to me and reflect a lot about me: my humor, aesthetics, and 
social and political leanings.  One author can write a diary that 
communicates less about him then another writer's fiction.  Kurt 
Vonnegut wrote science fiction and really personally revelatory 
stuff.  In his "stories" we find out he was one among a handful of 
survivors of the Dresden bombings.  We find out his mother was 
Schizophrenic.  Compared with many peoples' memoirs, he really poured 
his guts out.  One of my "shows" clearly depicts me yelling at my 
father and my friend.  It wasn't fake yelling.  It was real and angry 
and they mocked me and made me angrier.  If "stories" and 
therefore "shows" can be just as personal and revelatory as a "diary" 
and a "personal vlog" what is the point of making these 
distinctions?  Shouldn't we be more concerned with what touches and 
inspires us?  Epic poetry, diaries, plays, journalism, novels, 
documentaries, "personal vlogs" and "shows": every form contains a 
story that in itself contains truth and fiction.

[videoblogging] Re: Does personal vlogging matter anymore?

[Eric Rice]

Of course it does, we've filmed home movies and such for a lot longer than the 
vlog 
movement, and will continue to do so.

There's basically three forms of media creation:

1. mass-media,  2. micro-media, and 3. personal-media

... all of which have unique benefits and characteristics and challenges, 
appropriate for 
various situations. This is more a fair, rather clinical analysis, and void of 
all the idealistic 
things we lurv to debate about. ;-)

Interesting to watch how some of the personal YouTube generation (a natural 
celebration 
of personal expression for sure), might make case-by-case migrations to a 
micro-media 
style, and in other cases, a rocket to mass-media.

Personal might be the means, it might be the start, regardless, it's older than 
all of us. And 
that's pretty cool.

[videoblogging] Re: Does personal vlogging matter anymore?

[Steve Watkins]

For all its faults, and whilst its used for many other things as well,
youtube and that recent youtube meetup indicate to me that the
personal is not going to go away.

Im not sure its something the majority will come to do, Im not sure
how sustainable people who do it find it. How many abandoned blogs are
there, let alone vlogs? But this seems quite normal, like writing a
diary everybody isnt going to do it all of the time. Maybe in the
future it will be one of those new years resolutions lots of people
make and then break within a week or 2 :D

I hope & suspect that although we have not seen a total revolution in
this area yet, that people and video on the internet, is going to
create a lot of communities of one kind or another, and much of that
experience will be personal. Who knows if it will become some sort of
replacement for the old type of communities that are largely based on
geographical location, something that, like th extended family, has
been on the deline in quite a lot of countries in recent decades.

Im also interested in where we think 'personal' ends. Theres long been
an idea that consumer created media means lots of people are going to
post videos showing how much they love product x, and this is a
potential marketing wet dream becuase it has 'authenticity' and doesnt
require burntout ad & marketing creatives to have to keep coming up
with their own material so much. So far we have seen relatively
limited examples of this stuff happening, it seems like it will work
for some products but its not clear how large the consumer uptake will
be yet. So anyways a mass produced product & associated marketing may
be about as impersonal as you can get, but in the hands of an actual
peron, how personal does the resulting video become?

Cheers

[Roxanne Darling]

Hi Heath,

I am actually (and inadvertently) doing a combination of personal and
show vlog. We have one year event Saturday, and (presumably) will have
created 365 episodes, one every single day.

We started it for ourselves, in large part to play with the technology
and in some other part to see how it would affect us and to find out
if anyone else was interested in it. Turns out that the energy flow
back and forth from us to the viewers is amazing.  Yes, there is a
connection that can take place and I love it.

I just completed an audience survey too, and they love being able to
experience Hawai'i and share in the aloha spirit. The personal emails
I get about people recovering from cancer, getting out of the winter
doldrums, de-stressing after their days, even running marathons while
listening to our shows I find truly amazing! I feel so lucky to be
living here; I am thrilled to be able to share it with others around
the world.

My commitment to the project is to keep sharing both a few minutes of
my day and this beautiful place. At the end of the day though, if it's
not keeping me happy and full of aloha, then something will have to
change.

Aloha,

Rox

[videoblogging] r.e. Youtube event in SF

[Mark Day]

I went, it was fun.  I almost melted in the sun.  Schlomo and I arm
wrestled best-of-three for "videoblogging versus YouTubing" and what
can I tell you?  All his videos will be appearing exclusively on
YouTube from now on.  All your bases are belong to us.  As the kids
used to say.

Actually - and some of you may be dissapointed to hear this - no one
put a dog on a skateboard and rammed it repeatedly into anyone's
testicals.  Although I did watch Mike Judge's new movie Idiocracy
later and formulated my own hypothesis about slapstick as a disruptive
media force.  Too complicated to go into here.  I met some kid running
a Republican political campaign for a congressional district in San
Diego on YouTube, some sketch comedy people, someone who vlogs about
life in the Tenderloin, someone who wanted "high profile" vloggers to
use their "power" get out environmental messages, and some people who
may, or may not, have been "in character" the whole time.  Ubiquitous
San Francisco sign-carrier Frank Chu showed up eventually, as he is
wont to (and have you *seen* his Wikipedia entry?)

There were "YouTubers" in attendance from as far away as Australia,
and everyone seemed to be having a good time just mingling.   Some
people definately enthuse about "the YouTube community" - a smaller,
less vocal contingent view it as you might an operating system - most
worthy of comment when it's not working the way it's supposed to (and,
ironically, the site went cock-a-hoop for most of Sunday...)

Cheers

[videoblogging] Re: Does personal vlogging matter anymore?

[Mike Moon]

Ditto. I do my vlog foremost for myself and family, but do like the
idea of having others come along for the ride.

I'm not really worried about the "shows". Television should worry more
about internet shows then I am. My followers will probably be more
dedicated then the masses following the day's flavour.

Long live the personal vlog.

Re: [videoblogging] Does personal vlogging matter anymore?

[Michael Verdi]

Yes, what David said. And if you're doing it for some reason other than just
for yourself, you're setting yourself up for failure. It's like asking if
listening to music or gardening matters anymore. It may or may not matter to
me if you listen to music or garden but that's not the point. If it matters
to you then it's a non issue.

[videoblogging] Re: Making Video Go Viral

[Bill Streeter]

What do you mean by making a video go viral? If you mean making a 
video really popular like the "Numa Numa Dance" or Homestar Runner 
then good luck. If you figure that out let me know. Thats sorta like 
asking how to win the lottery—if we all knew how to do that we'd all 
be rich. 

If you want your video to be seen by as many people as possible--or 
better yet be discovered by as many people who might have an 
interest in it then there are ways of doing that. First I would get 
listed in as many directories as possible. And then find relevent 
forums and communities and actually participate in them and while 
you are participating you'll have an opportunity to let them know 
about your videos--either directly or indirectly with signature 
files etc. But the key is genuine participation--not spamming a 
community.

[videoblogging] Call for entries: The Never Ending Film

[sunbeam65]

It's easy. The Never Ending Film has only three rules:

   1. You can film only 30 seconds at a time.
   2. The film must move forward from where the previous person left off.
   3. No sexually explicit, hate or other illegal clips will be allowed.


http://neverendingfilm.blogspot.com/

The film will be shown on YouTube, IFilm and other video sharing sites
in durations of 3 minutes and 15 minutes. All work will be licensed
under Creative Commons. The film will go on as long as they are
contributors.

Every contribution will be video blogged here in durations of 30
seconds at a time. Please list your full name when emailing your video
clip to neverendingfilm (AT) gmail.com, so we can give you credit
accordingly.

You don’t have to be a producer or a director to send in your 30
second clip (in 3GP, WMV or preferably MPEG format).
You can shoot with your mobile phone, digicam, handycam or if you are
the auteur sorts, 35 mm film too!

Be part of film history.

Thanks a ton!

[videoblogging] Re: call it a podcast or a vlog?

[Bill Streeter]

Steve said "enclosures" which means any type of file delivered via 
RSS be it audio, video, photos, pdfs etc. A vlog can be video on a 
blog with or without enclosures on an RSS feed. And Podcasts are 
basically the video (or any kind of file) delivered via RSS feed. At 
least according to Steve Garfield, and I would tend to agree with 
that. "Shows" can be delivered in either of these ways, as can 
personal messages and other kinds of "non-show" video, audio, text 
or photo presentations.

[videoblogging] Does personal vlogging matter anymore?

[Heath]

That's it, that is the question 'does personal vlogging matter 
anymore?'  I mean sure on one hand for the handful that started it, it 
doesor does it.I don't know I am wondering do you 
support 'personal' vlogging, I mean with all the 'shows' out there does 
the personal story matter anymore.

[videoblogging] Wreck & Salvage Grand Opening Sponsorship SALE!

[bottomunion]

We have no market value, now is the time to buy!

Wreck & Salvage is gearing up to launch on March 1st, and we're
looking for sponsors. We're offering preroll spots on our videos, and
the NO-RESERVE auction can be viewed HERE!.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330090650646

I rarely post here, and I'm naturally reluctant to ask for support,
but I strongly feel these are the voices you would want to keep
screaming in this amazing burgeoning community.

The Wreck & Salvage crew does this because we love our independence,
the almost complete elimination of the middle-man, where the
relationship built is between us and you. We're what this medium is
all about, and we're unbelievably committed to keeping this
independence.  But it's impossible to pull off without support, and by
this, I do not only mean monetary support. There are various other
ways to support W&S in the online-video realm; share the videos, tell
friends who might be interested, favorite them on video sharing sites,
spread it, get it out there, post a promo (or a video), throw a link
up. Your participation is crucial.

I do hope you'll watch.  And check out the auction if you find some
time.  We stack 'em deep and sell them cheap.

Watch this:

http://wreckandsalvage.com/promos/support.mov

http://www.wreckandsalvage.com

Enjoy.  And Thanks for your time.

[videoblogging] Re: call it a podcast or a vlog?

[Steve Watkins]

I remain fascinated by the possibilities of the opposite - a blog in a
video. A really sophisticated flash (or some other future technology)
player could be a window to your entire blog, all the video, text,
coments, etc, could be available via a single embedded player.

Re: [videoblogging] improving on havemoneywillvlog

[Mike Meiser]

FYI Sull. I moved the article back over to crowdfunding. I completely
agree with you about the name. I wish I had time to redraft and source
the article in the spirit of helping you evolve it, but one thing at a
time.

BTW, I used the excuse for renaming it back to crowdfunding from P2P
funding that it was inspired by "crowdsourcing" which is true... I
think it's a rather good reason and hopefully we'll have no
complainsts from whomever changed it to p2p funding... which quite
frankly is not only a stupid name.. but also the name of some web
company... which does NOT do crowdsourcing as we have described it at
all.

Well put jay... I think this is what Michael Verdi was *missing* about
what I was trying to say... I don't care wether HMWV is a wordpress
plugin... or open source... or whatever... that isnt the damn point...
the point is that we  constantly need to encourage and document all
forms of experimentation like this. HMWV is only the start.

We need to constantly lower the barriers to involvement and
encouraging ALL MANNER of experimentation.

To say HMWV has *already done it* which is what Michael Verdi's
defensiveness is actually saying... is to miss the point. I love
HMWV... HMWV rocks!  ...but there are a million different ways someone
might approach this problem of encouraging crowd funding and each new
experiment is going to bring new expertise to the table.

That said...  Jay you said... "I personally find that finding good
well-thought out projects is the hardest part of all."

EXACTLY!

Who said all the best ideas would come to YOU!?

Innovation... the great ideas... the great projects are distributed...
you're structure for HMWV is not unlike a venture capitalist... and
trust me the probelm is NOT that there aren't enough good projects out
there... it's in FINDING them... they're not always going to come to
you.  So you need to encourag activity *away from the ball*.

This is what I'm saying about PledgeBank.  We need to decrease the
time and effort between someone HAVING a great idea... like my example
with WholeWheatRadio... and being able to initiate that ball
rolling... Pledgebank does that. You could come up with an idea and
initiate a pledge five minutes later yes there is MUCH more
involved... OF COURSE there is... leg work is a given... and maybe
PledgeBank needs many, many more mechanisms for evolving a pledge
after it is intitiated... but the most important thing is to give
everyday people the OPPORTUNITY... to intiate their brilliant idea..
to get started!

>From there even if a vast majority of pledges fail an expertise will
arise... things WILL buble up, there will be successes, best practices
and experts wil arise.

So... I don't give a damn about these key technical points Michael
Verdi thinks I'm *missing*... I'm not missing anything important...
he's missing the spirit of my point which is to move forward and
ingrain concepts like crowd-sourcing, and crowd-funding into the
popular psychy of america... so instead of reaching for the remote for
news on Iraq they reach for a web browser and not only watch
citizen journalism like Alive In Bagdad... not only FUND it... but
realize MOST IMPORTANTLY that they can take the initiative and make
NEW initiatives to either help fund, or to pick up a camera and go out
their door and start their own project.

"I'll donate a new video camera to this cause if someone else donates
a new hard drive for this project."

or

"I'll drive on Saturday to Macworld to shoot it for you all if you can
raise $100 to cover my gass and other costs."

You get the point right?

In five years time or 20 years time I love to think that people will
be much more active in judicious about putting their money where there
mouth is that we'll have great gobs of social capital within
communities all across the internet and it'll be SO ingrained and
instinctual that these communities will raise bits of capital all the
time at a moments notice to fund not only just the covering of some
event... but all manner of activity that effects them...  this is what
it means to "wake up" the masses... to pull them up of the couch and
get them actively involved in the world they only watched on TV or
bought at walmart... the camera can be an amazing tool of
transformation.

I'm not *missing* any particular element of HMWV... cool as it is, it
is just a small stepping stone in this greater good... and I just hope
we can acknolege it's successes and yes... even it's failures with a
little constructive disussion so that we can understand ways we
can improve on the model.

And again... one final time, what I'm saying is opensource.. or a
plugin... or whatever... the barrier to initiating a project is TOO

Actually a vlog is video on a blog, and a podcast is your enclosures  
being delivered via an RSS 2.0 feed.

Re: [videoblogging] node101 wiki hacked?

It's there. Has everyone transferred their pages from the old wiki to the
new?

If so, perhaps it's now time to take the old wiki down?

MediaWiki. Wordpress is a blogging platform, not a wiki.

Jump was completed a while ago: http://node101.pbwiki.com/

The old wiki isn't used and it looks like a spammer hit it. No worries.  
The main page at node101.org links to the correct wiki, but it would of  
course be helpful if the old address forwarded to the new one. :o)

Just want to point out there is a way to "protect" certain pages on a
wordpress wiki. All it does is keeps anyone from editing them unless
they signup or login to the wiki.

That said, maybe it's time to either upgrade your software or jump to a pbwiki.

Re: [videoblogging] question about fireant

[groups-yahoo-com]

I'm not sure what kind of traffic you can expect from Fireant but
quite honestly, you should totally signup and check it out, because
it's awesome. :)

Fireant is a piece of software and a webservice. It's primary utility
is to help others enjoy your videoblog not actually to attempt to
promote your vlog... I doubt you'll see much of a traffic increase
unless of course you're AskANinja and are aimed at general
consumption.

If you're just a personal vlogger you probably won't gain a whole lot
of traffic from it, but if you put a fireant subscribe button on your
vlog side-bar and encourage your friends whom are already watching
your vlog to use it they will love you for it as the Fireant desktop
softwre automatically downloads new videos from you vlog and is
awesome for keeping up on and enjoying multiple videoblogs.

Democracy Player, is another one of the aggregators. They too have a
web based guide like fireant in addition to the desktop software. You
might encourage your friends to try their player too.

Mefeedia.com is also an aggreagator. Unlike Democracy and Fireant it's
web based only, but then it works with Democracy and Fireant desktop
software oh... and also iTunes.

iTunes is probably the last place you'll want your vlog listed. The
best way to get it listed is to create a feedburner.com feed. In the
settings for feedburner among various other very cool and useful
things you can configure a setting that will include you in the iTunes
directory.

I guess the question is... is your new vlog a personal vlog... an
entertainment vlog... or one of the various shades inbetween... such
as you're looking for an audience, but not so much to entertain them
rather then to just participate in a commuunity or a dialogue?

On that note, I'm going to go check out your vlog.

http://www.myurbanreport.com/

I already like the name.

Oh, and if you're new here, welcome, and if your not, I apologize for
not noticing your vlog sooner.

Peace,

-Mike

Fireant is feed aggregator/vlog directory.  Adding your vlog to as
many directories as possible can't hurt.

Hope this helps.

[videoblogging] node101 wiki hacked?

[Joey Profit]

First off, there are two wiki's for node101?  Little confusing.
Anyway, if you go to one of them you get this:
http://node101.org/community/index.php/Main_Page

Figured someone might want to know.
