[videoblogging] Fwd: Roof top film / Pixelodeon
Just had a moment to learn what y'all are up to with Pixelodeon. Beautiful. In every open, non-contest way. Bravo. My Wburg.TV partner brought this screening endeavor to my attention, and I bring it to yours. If you're curating all this stuff for Pixelodeon, why not parlay all the work into another venue? Have not contacted these folks yet, but will for our own nefarious art commerce purposes. On another note, I should very much like to vlogvertise Pixelodeon @ Wburg.TV. We've at least one issue of the video magazine to go up between now and then. Perhaps two. Would love to get you some eyeballs.

[videoblogging] Re: Advice on an affordable/portable monopod.
I couldn't agree with Bill Streeter more insofar as monopods are inexpensive and really help stabilize video, especially when zooming --which magnified each movement. I have two actually. I couldn't resist buying one very new and unique one which is an affordable step down from those things you put around your body to get steady pictures while running with someone, etc. It's Manfrotto #560B and is made in Italy. It is the first monopod that havs three small feet and a ball swivel which allows you to follow a moving person with an even slow steady motion while they are walking or running. I had to pay $159.00 at BH. The salesman told me that it had only been out a few weeks at the time (I'm guessing since the beginning of this year). He also said that he's sold one to every person he had shown it tol They don't work on commission there I'm glad he showed it to me. He knew I was working with a $2000.00 Sony AIU larger camera and a HC42 Sony mini-DV. I have the tiny Samsung to literally carry in my pocket which is great in bright light close up sound but my favorite is the HC42 which is now developing problems because of such heavy use. I sent it off for repair last December they fixed it under the warranty I had purchased. But it took them a full month to return it to me. I bought a new Canon Mini-DV that takes a plug-in mike yesterday which takes a plug-in mike yesterday because I want to decent small camera with a plug in mike while my HC42 is off for repair. It only cost $279. ZR800 is the Canon model number. I haven't opened it up and started working with it yet. I discovered a few other things about plug in connectors for my Sony HC42 that I never knew existed. I'll make that a different posting. I've been so busy filming great stuff, I haven't had time to even check my email for days at a time. I hope to be able to make one of the Flash Conferences on Sat Tuesday but have just been too busy taking care of a dyi8ng friend and other pressing things.

I think a lot of people dismiss them because the concept is so simple. I use a bogan which is a really good brand and you can get one for like $30 from BH or someplace like that. I love it, and never leave home without it.

We've at least one issue of the video magazine to go up between now and then. Perhaps two. good idea. We have an idea that after Pixelodeon, we'll see about putting up the screenings online. be cool to let people screen them in other places the key, though, is getting the permission from creators. something we'll have to work through. right now, we're just trying to prove we're doping the best we can to promote and celebrate all the cool and different kind of video that we have made so far. Really try to push it into the wider consciousness. Jay -- Here I am http://jaydedman.com Check out the latest project: http://pixelodeonfest.com/ Webvideo festival this June
[videoblogging] PodCorps.org
here's a cool project: http://www.conversationsnetwork.org/podcorps/ Doug Kaye is getting 1000 videobloggers and podcasters to become stringers. The idea is to be able to cover any important event anywhere it happens. A good example is during the upcoming 2008 elections. We could form our own grassroots CSPAN. it's a non-profit effort...so of course all material would be archives and made available for public use. Doug's a good guy. I remember when i first started publishing onlineI learned a lot from his http://www.itconversations.com/index.html. These podcasts help me learn about RSS, the history of blogging, etc. Ill let him jump in with more details. do people get paid? probably a good question to answer.

Free and without any obligation. *** 1. PodCorps.org is like a dating service: We match you (our stringers) to spoken-word events that want to be recorded and published. Matching is done by geography and skill sets. 2. PodCorps.org is a non-profit crowdsourcing project of The Conversations Network. We also produce the Social Innovation Conversations podcast, and most of us are the same folks who bring you IT Conversations, a for-profit podcast. 3. PodCorps.org is a great opportunity to give back to your community while using and continuing to improve your videoblogging skills. 4. Do people get paid? That's between you and the event producers with whom you're matched. I expect most events will be recorded for free, but you may want to be reimbursed for media, travel, etc. If you're a pro and only want to record events for a fee, that's okay, too. Just say so in your profile. (Some stringers charge a fee except when recording for non-profits.) 5. There is no obligation. If we match you with an event, you don't even have to respond. We want to register 1,000 stringers as soon as possible, at which time we'll open the doors to the event producers. It's a chicken-and-egg situation, and we need to start with about 1,000 chickens. 6. Our forums are ramping up to be the best place to share tips and techniques about recording live events.
[videoblogging] Canon HV20 Vs. Sony HDR-SR1 - opinions?
Seeing as the Canon HV20 HD camcorder is now below $1000, I'd love to hear from anyone who has it - or has tried it and has opinions on performance in low light (something CNet reviews flags up as an issue...) and/or the mike (which is oddly facing towards the sky and not what's in front of you) And likewise the Sony HDR-SR1 using the AVCHD file system (I'm uber-untechnical, I'm just concerned that that might not work with my not-entirely-registered copy of Final Cut...) As I'm itching to buy one or the other, opinions (off list or on) would be appreciated...

[videoblogging] Re: Why Joost?
I think the Joost guys are pretty smart. With their track record anything they put their hand to is gonna generate interest. And If you think about it the market for UGC video content sites is getting pretty saturated. The market that is being underserved in the online space is the mainstream media. They don't want to share their content like UGC because it cheapens their brands, and puts them at a competitive disadvantage. So the boys at Joost are putting their brains and buzz mucle into developing a platforum that appeals to the MSM and solves these problems for them. Joost gives the MSM a digital way to deliver their content in a way that doesn't put them next to the YouTubers, Vloggers and Podcaster rable and gives them control over where their content is viewed and count the viewers. My prediction: Joost will fail. Mostly because of all the above. It's a dumb terminal that isn't much smarter than a TV with no PVR. But the Joost guys will make out like bandits in their failing because the market they're serving, the MSM has tons of cash to throw at them.

I will not be surprised if Joost winds up becoming a staple video distribution point for many, but as of now, I can not see it. We have seen dozens of these roll out similarly with money and popular founders yet they all seem to offer the same thing. And most are not catching any sparks. Isn't Joost the new Brightcove and wasn't Brightcove the new Akimbo which was the new TiVo? I dont mean to rag on any companies here, Im just wondering why the party would suddenly be over at Joost. You can buy relationships to match advertisers and content partners but where will the audience come from? Any ideas?
Re: [videoblogging] Youtube Partner Program
what other video sites offer better ad shares then youtube? just wondering, addy http://dearaddy.com --- Jay dedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Here's a letter about youtube's new partner program, written by an anonymous youtube star who is certainly, definitely, Absolutely NOT Kent. http://battellemedia.com/archives/003630.php (via http://boingboing.net) this is extremely interesting. obviously John Battelle has a bias on youtube advertsing since he runs Federated Media. *I'm a YouTube star, but YouTube wishes I wasn't. They would like to pretend I don't exist, rather than admit there are several roads to financial and critical success that don't lead through their corporate headquarters. * Its tough to take these kinds of criticisms when you dont know who its from. I always question anonymous comments and articles. Some shows will stick with YouTube, but the savviest and the most commercial ones will move to other video sites that can provide better splits or signing bonuses. Creators will start to realize that their storytelling talents are rare and valuable. so true. I don't know the terms this round of authors were guaranteed by YouTube, but I do know that we were offered was okay money, but something that we've already surpassed. And then when you factor in merch sales, and the value of having our own users and pageviews on top of that and controlling our own brand, we're coming out miles ahead of a typical YouTube power user. I know Youtube can push mass traffic towards any video it chooses...but asking creators to dump their personal site is dangerous. I'd like to hear more about how Youtube feels about letting creators own their own content. Lots of questions. its up to us creators to educate each other and not settle for giving it all away.

Re: [videoblogging] Youtube Partner Program
what other video sites offer better ad shares then youtube? just wondering, addy http://dearaddy.com if youre a popular blog/videoblog...you can get much better than $5 per thousand views. (this is the reported Youtube agreement, but hard to say since all all anonymous) This is Federated's whole schitck...they get popular creators customized ad deals for bucks. Blip also has a specialized program, but dont know the specifics. in the end, creators must always make sure they keep ownership of all their content. everything should be temporary licensing deals. if not, you're just an employee. and just to shout out for personal videoblogging. many of us will never see one ad cent for our personal videos. and we'll change the world.

Re: [videoblogging] Youtube Partner Program
around the 16/5/07 Jay dedman mentioned about Re: [videoblogging] Youtube Partner Program that: and just to shout out for personal videoblogging. many of us will never see one ad cent for our personal videos. and we'll change the world. here here :-) at moments like this it is valuable to remember that: wordpress is free rss was developed for free apache (the thing that runs most webservers) is free and so on. most of the software infrastructure that has made all of this possible has come from a culture that values the sharing of knowledge (like this list). It is largely publicly funded (research grants, universities). It is a common good.
