[videoblogging] VLOGGING POLITICS
hey everyone! so I'm writing this paper for my class *Civilization and its Discontents* about the new wave of politics that surround online video, like the racial incident with Loren Feldman back in August, Michael Verdi being attacked unjustly about his parenting skills, Sandra Soroka possibly hoaxing a hacking to get people off her back for breaking up with her boyfriend via facebook, etc. so I wanted to get a few words about any of those incidents or others from you guys for my paper, addressing your goals and motives with online video, where you think it's heading and where you think it should be heading, what you would change about it, what kind of culture is this wave of collective art cultivating (good and bad), what your ideas are on public perception vs creation on account of online media, all in addition to anything else you'd like to add. I'll be writing all Monday so the more responses by the end of the day, the better. Thanks guys! -- Brian Gonzalez [EMAIL PROTECTED] 210-683-6027 taxiplasm.net [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Re: [videoblogging] your thoughts on tapes vs HD?
At first blush, was thinking that Xacti HD cameras that record to SD memory cards would prove an interesting solution. Mailing you the SD cards shouldn't be too much of a problem. Very small. Perhaps TOO small? Problem with all of this - regardless of what camera you choose - will be getting good sound, so placement of any camera near the speaker (either the person or the sound reinforcement speaker) will be essential. The quality of the Xacti HD camera we used at VlogEurope 07 was pretty darned good. Xacti files are .mp4; 10 MB for 30 seconds of raw footage @ 640 x 480 on the non-HD model I personally worked with. Darned if I can recall the model. Imagine the settings may be changed to another aspect ratio, esp. in the HD model. Sounds like an interesting project for you :) Let us know what you decide to do.

[videoblogging] Re: What kind of Pro camera should I get?
Hello Heath, depends on what type of video you want to shoot? Standard definition or HD. . . For my money, I love my Canon GL2. At the time, it had the mosdt powerful optic zoom (20X) that allows me to put myself on-stage from the back section of an auditorium during a recital, cantata, or play. It individual audio controls for each channel of its audio tracks. I am very satisfied with it - the only drawback. Does not do well in low light - not as well as a Sony, perhaps - but it does have great range to dim situations. I've filmed during the active part of a dance concert using the exposure control on the camera. . . with a dark result that would be expected under any dance concert performance. If you're looking for HD, I'm certain you'll get comments from others before long. When I go looking for one myself, I think I'll stay in the Canon family; the GL2 is a great quality product for the price; so I would pay a little more for sticking with the Canon family, no doubt. Until that time. . .

[videoblogging] Mpeg4 Exports (PC)
So I am working in Premiere Pro CS3 which can import and work with Mpeg4. Once i bring in my clips, do my edit, and export out, should I treat it as if they were dv clips? My current workflow is exporting uncompressed avi's and then bringing them into QT pro and exporting them out as mov's using the H.264 codec. Does that sound good or because they are mpeg4's should I do something different? I just got my xacti a little over a week ago and haven't edited anything yet. Any help and advice would be awesome. Thanks.

Re: [videoblogging] your thoughts on tapes vs HD?
The xacti cameras vary in their ability to shoot in low-light but generally speaking they are not ideal for this. You can get good results by changing white balance and iso but it sounds like you need something that can more consistently handle low-light well so a larger quality lens should be considered. The hd1000 does have a larger lens, so if you want to consider the xacti family, that might be the best choice. or one of the models that provides lens adapter. sull On Dec 10, 2007 9:10 AM, Deirdre Straughan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Do the Xactis also fall into the category of does not perform well in low light? cause our lighting situations tend to pretty much suck...

Re: [videoblogging] your thoughts on tapes vs HD?
I'm always very biased towards tapes ... Less compression than flash/DVD camcorders, easier to archive footage than hard disks, cheaper media than DVD camcorders, easy to trade footage, fewer strange file formats to confound your editing software. A tape camcorder can be converted to a hard disk camcorder using a 3rd party addon (hard disk or software+laptop), which cuts out the capture process everyone hates in tape-based workflow. I recently shot four hours of footage at a Jonathan Coulton concert to send to Yahoo News on miniDV. FedEx was the best way to get it from GA to CA. Never underestimate the bandwidth of a stationwagon full of tapes :) -- Brian Richardson - http://whatthecast.com - http://siliconchef.com - http://dragoncontv.com - http://www.3chip.com

The information contained in this blog isn't completely accurate Charles. The first issue is my day-to-day stats are NOT correct. I currently show no views for 2 days and I know for a fact that I've had viewers on these days. The second issue is Blip should've notified its loyal users like myself about this major problem via the My Dashboard on Blip.TV, and not on some blog where the information is hidden and not as accessible to its end user. This style of communicating is ineffective and quite frustrating especially when you log into your Dashboard at Blip and the message you receive is Current system status All systems are looking good. When is this problem going to be fixed? Are we going to be exposed to this problem again in the future?

[videoblogging] Re: What kind of Pro camera should I get?
Interestingly enough, I'm suddenly interested in getting a new camera! :D I had been gearing up to get a control surface for Final Cut's Color application, but I found out that a Wacom Intuos tablet makes me as fast as I want to be right now, so suddenly, that's a couple of Gs I don't have to spend. Meanwhile, I'm planning a new video project which would definitely benefit from being shot on a nice camera. The camera would be used for continuous 'work', so yes, it would pay for itself pretty quickly. I just witnessed the beauty of video from the HVX200 on Jackson West's shoot for his NYU film. I'm very impressed with how that camera captures mood and really kind of makes the scene what it's supposed to be, right out of the camera. OTOH, I've REALLY been liking http://GeekBrief.tv ever since they switched cameras to the Canon XH-A1. Their colors are REALLY punchy, and the show just has this really great look and 'feel' to it. That could very well be because of sweetening in post, but you have to start with a great image with lots of definition to begin with. The GeekBrief setup is here = http://www.geekbrief.tv/about/credits According to BH, the base sticker prices on the two are: Canon HX-A1 - $3,049 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/447098-REG/Canon_1191B001_XH_A1_3CCD_HDV_Camcorder.html Panasonic AG-HVX200 - $5,199 http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/381410-REG/Panasonic_AG_HVX200_AG_HVX200_3_CCD_HD_Format.html Then, with the Panasonic, you have to keep on spending for P2 cards or a Firestore, so it's basically well over double the price of the Canon. Of course, none of this makes any difference whatsoever if you're 'just' going to be using the video for iPod-compatible-compressed videos. However, with what groups like http://pandonetworks.com/ are doing at this point, and the entry of highly-funded pro teams working on sites like http://quarterlife.com , I don't think it's going to be very long before HD over the net becomes pretty routine. I think it's better to make HD content *now* and let the delivery technology catch up with US. Anybody with experience with either/both of these cameras have any opinions as far as which one they would get if the business was going to pay for the camera anyway? -- Bill Cammack CammackMediaGroup.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Brook Hinton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Among the typos I left this out - despite the hubbub about the HVX200's 540 line resolving power, everyone I know feels it holds up to HDCam and even film outpt as well or better than its HDV equivalents.

First - if you have a good rental house nearby I would strongly consider renting for your for-hire work unitl you get a good sense of what cameras you like and how their workflow works out for you. That's what I'm doing right now - there's still a lot of upheaval in the low to mid end HD production field and things will keep changing rapidly. The fallout from the introduction of the RED camera is going to change things drastically. That said, here's my take on the sub-10k cams I'm familiar with. You'll note very little Sony or JVC mentioned - I used to favor Sony's stuff, but they've fallen way behind in this field in my view. JVC makes some very interesting midrange cameras, but I am leery of their For 24P in standard def/DV you are pretty much limited to the absolutely excellent Panasonic DVX100 (or its more expensive big brother, the HVX200, which also does HD once you add pricey P2 cards - see below). For pro for-hire work I still try to avoid HDV except for projects that are primarily interviews or other material that won't have a lot of motion. The Canon HDV stuff does a better job than the other brands on avoiding motion artifacts and blocking it seems, but you're going to be delivering on DVD, h.264 files or an HD DVD / Blu-Ray pretty soon for many clients, which means putting that long-GOP mpeg2 transport HDV stream through not only color correction and whatever other image processing and compositing but ANOTHER pass of temporal compression. That said, I know others who are using the the higher end Sony and Canon HDV cameras for professional work. If you go that route, the HX-A1 is a great value. If you want 24P in HDV, Sony has one model, but it has pretty crummy low light
Re: [videoblogging] Re: not your average gear question...
All I can say is watch out for the cheapo cameras. My bro bought my niece a little digital camera that shoots stills and video last Christmas and when the batteries die... which they always do with little kids... it erases the memory. How's that for less then useless. Little kids don't care about quality or features like zoom. But the thing should be durable and run on some standard battery type for long periods without failing. I recommend something that runs well on AA or something standard, rechargeable AA's even better... as the thing will always be dead when the child wants to use it. Zoom and other features waste batteries... though all kids love LCD playback. I have no specific advice other than this, other then to say aren't we all just big kids ourselves? Always go back to the basics. Enjoy being a kid again. Damn the obsessions with features, and resolution and zoom. When you remove everything it's just about the fascination of capturing people and moments and being able to play them back instantly. Record and playback, that's what's important. Kids don't do video editing either, and though they are all eventually devils with computers, even putting the videos on the computer is far secondary to being able to play them back on the camera. -Mike mmeiser.com/blog mefeedia.com On 12/10/07, Micki Krimmel [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks!

[videoblogging] Re: VLOGGING POLITICS
this is the passage that ignited this paper: excerpt from Erich Fromm's *The Sane Society*: Man, in order to feel at home in the world, must grasp it not only with his head, but with all his senses, his eyes, his ears, with all his body. He must act out with his body what he thinks out with his brain. Body and mind cannot be separated in this, or in any other aspect. If man expresses his grasp of the world by his senses he creates art and ritual, song, dance, drama, painting, sculpture. ...For lack of a better word, I shall use the term collective art, meaning *to respond to the world with our senses in a meaningful, skilled, productive, active, shared way*. In this description, the * shared* is important, and differentiates the concept of collective art and that of art in the modern sense. The latter is individualistic, both in its production and in its consumption. Collective art is shared; it permits man to feel one with others in a meaningful, rich, productive way. It is not an individual leisure time occupation, added to life, it is an integral part of life. It corresponds to a basic human need, and if this need is not fulfilled, man remains as insecure and anxious as if the need for a meaningful thought picture of the world were unrealized. in order to grow out of the receptive into the productive orientation, he must relate himself to the world artistically, and not only philosophically or scientifically. If a culture does not offer such a realization, the average person does notedevelop beyond his receptive or marketing orientation. thanks for your time guys!

Re: [videoblogging] not your average gear question...
I miss my Fisher Price PXL2000 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PXL-2000 Actually, I never had one. They were slightly before my time. I miss the idea of them... the stories of them, and all the videos I've seen shot on them by various art school types. I've never actually used one in fact. I will however always have my jamcam http://www.flickr.com/groups/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pool/ Let's not forget that even toy cameras can be much sought after goods for budding young film makers. A good toy can be the difference. Steven Spielberg started making films when he was 10. ... or somewhere thereabouts. :) Just don't underestimate the quaility of the hardware, not to be confused with the picture quality. While kids don't care about features they still understand quality. I'm reminded of this as my niece never ever bothers to shoot pictures with her POS camera, and who would when they'll probably all just get deleted anyway. I should have given her my jamcam. It's not the price even, I bet you could find a perfectly awesome camera for under $50... or you might even find him a hand me down of some sort... though 6 years is a little you yet for anything that might be handed down.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Show in A Box...hicupp? Problems copy paste from Blip
I've been kind of curious about Show In A Box. Is it something people here generally recommend? What are the upsides/downsides? Which shows use it? Michael gave a good description of the Showinabox history. you can also see the list of plugins we're working on at http://showinabox.tv/wordpress/about/ I get most excited about how the vPIP plugin allows you to post multiple formats easily with embed code automatically generated for each one. When someone embeds your video their site, the same multiple embed code is also available there. really encourages sharing. I also love the Pledge Drive plugin that Markus is working on. It will allow you to raise money for your project from people in one lump sum, or in automatically monthly payments. Uses paypal. You'll be able to skin the widget to look and say what you want. I also love the related videos and recent videos plugin that fills your page with relevant thumbnails. this keeps your older videos from getting lost by pointing viewers to them posts. The Visual Archive plugin makes it easy to skim your work. example: http://ryanishungry.com/archive/ We are also sketching out custom WP themes built specifically to showcase video. we're making the install process much easier...and trying to use plain english to describe what to do. video tutorials are in the works. It's really all an open-source effort to make building a WP vlog easier...and with a lot of specific functionality for vloggers. Our time should really be spent on making video and telling good stories!

The flip does fit the bill. Exactly the features I was decribing. Little/ no zoom, simple features, LCD playback, uses AA batteries. It doesn't have much memory, but then 30 minutes for the intro model is probably fine for a kid. I'm suprised it's so expensive though. But then I haven't used one.

[videoblogging] Point Of View mounted cameras.
Hi everyone, just joined this group and see that what I do with video cameras is different to what most people are doing. Just briefly, what I do is mount multiple waterproof cameras to an Outrigger canoe and capture ocean racing and wipeout footage etc on waves, then edit the footage into a short entertaining slightly whacky movie. I use 3 different types of cams for that, a Pentax Optio W10, two GoPro Hero3 cams and a bullet cam connected to a Canon camcorder. Basically it puts you in the drivers seat of the canoe as I paddle in races and on ocean waves, thus POV (point of view). Some of the challenges I face are water droplets on the lens, sun direct into the lens, damage from wipeouts and lots of footage to edit as the cams are turned on and left running till the battery runs flat or the tape or SD card fill up. Any one else out there doing stuff like this or have suggestions?
