[videoblogging] Problems with Archive.org and RSS

2008-01-27 Thread Sheldon Pineo
I have a couple of feeds that are hosted at the Archive website.  They are:
http://feeds.feedburner.com/GeocachingVideozineDivx
and

I uploaded a new episode however when I use my rss reader (Juice and
iTunes) I'm only getting a partial download.  When I got to the
Archive site, I can download the entire file directly.

Anyone else having the same problem, or know what may be causing it?

Besides .. if it was a memory card based camera might not the battery last 
longer since there is not electric motor needed to move the tape?

But, I'm not familiar with card based cameras .. do they have "larger" than 
normal batteries available .. or even replaceable batteries?

Frankly I think we're over thinking this ... it was a good movie and as with 
many movies it was not an attempt to be scientifically accurate. Remember

Nothing about editing and publishing HD video is quick. :) My current
editing strategy is to go from HDV to 1280x720 30p video using Sony Vegas
and then uploading the result to Blip. I think it takes about 10 minutes for
every minute of video I publish. You can do it faster, but not if you want
to end up with video that looks good.

2008-01-27 Thread David S Kessler
I appreciate the points that you are making.  I do think that this
"home movie" style can influence and inspire in some interesting ways.
 I do however have to disagree on some points.
Cloverfield has the appearance of being low budget with all "in
camera" editing but of course that was not the case in reality, that
was just the premise of the movie. it wasn't edited in camera it was
just made to look that way.  even if much of the film was shot on an
HVX, that's not a home movie camera.  
Cloverfield had big money special effects.  this is a studio film made
by established, rich people, and promoted with a huge budget. This
film cost $30 million to make. yeah, that's low budget for Paramount. 

yes, go run with the premise, be inspired. but as you say use the
device to tell "interesting stories."  that's what truly independent
filmmakers should be doing.  if you don't have 30 million to create
Cloverfield you can't get away with repeating the lines "What was that
thing?" over and over again and expect nobody to actually care what
that thing was.

By way of brief introduction, "I am a long time lurker, first time
poster" and trying to find time for a videoblog.

I have been looking for a workflow which will allow me to move quickly
from my HDV video (Sony FX1) from the non square format to square
format for the web, Blip etc.

I use Vegas pro 8 for NLE and I wish to end up with video encoded to
various web flavored formats. I realize I can convert the video in the
editor. I'm looking to find an optimal work flow that involves the
least personal attention after editing (while encoding) because it
seems to be very compute intensive. A semi random search for Nirvana
in the encoding world looks like it will be very time consuming.  I
have high hopes of finding some sage advice here.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Cloverfield "hand held" major movie

2008-01-27 Thread Tim Street
I think Cloverfield does take things beyond the Blair Witch Project  
and does a great job of fictional organic "Home Video"  story telling.

The filmmakers have set some ground rules for themselves and they  
stick to those ground rules. Everything that happens on that "tape"  
from a storytelling point of view happens in real time with nothing  
other than "in camera edits."

I'm envious of what the filmmakers have done with Cloverfield. I've  
been exploring fictional organic home video storytelling since I did  
For the Love of Julie in 1999 and I Can Still Tell Your Wife Bill  in  
2001 and I've been waiting for more stories to be told this way so  
that it doesn't seem gimmicky. I think Loney Girl 15 does a good job  
of this but every so often their characters get a little bit too  
"cinematic" in the production of their videos and it pulls me out of  
the story but non the less LG15 is breaking new ground with this type  
of storytelling and they are intertwining it with ARG which is way cool.

I really look forward to seeing what new films are created using this  
approach to storytelling and how it matures so that it's not seen as a  
gimmick.

If this type of filmmaking is embraced it lowers the financial bar of  
entry for what is acceptable for theatrical film releases and  
increases the chances of getting theatrical distribution for  
storytellers who can't afford a traditional cinematic production.

If you are at all interested in telling stories that are shown on the  
big screen I urge you to take a closer look at Cloverfield and think  
about what emotionally compelling stories you could tell using this  
organic home video approach. There are some very creative people on  
this list and I think one or several of us could someday have a  
theatrical release by using this type of storytelling.

"it never pays to over analyze a movie like this"

> an electronics store and not consider grabbing a couple extra tapes
> and batteries?
>

the electronics store scene came from one characters sole focus to get his
phone working so he could try to communicate with another character.
this relationship drove the story/path.  the character had zero interest in
getting equipped to document the devastation they were smothered in.
the character who was filming everything was originally only supposed to
film a going away party.
as the events unfolded, this character did realize the importance of the
footage but i am sure he also was not interested in getting more equipment
that would allow him to document more than he could with what he had (within
story, some unknown SSD camera) and would happily be rescued over further
gallivanting around a city under attack by a monster.

how they went 7 hours without having to change a battery.
>

mentioned?
but a 7 hour batter is not too absurd.

personally, i could ask alot of questions and potential inaccuracies... but
screw that.
i thought it was fantastic.

their will undoubtedly be sequels and this was just an introduction to the
monster.
more details and plot would be added in future.

A horror movie doesn't need a plot in order to be good, any more than
an amusement park thrill ride or a pizza-induced nightmare needs a plot.

Whether a horror movie needs a plot in order to be "great", well
that's arguable. DUEL, for instance, is a horror movie I'd consider
great despite having even less plot than CLOVERFIELD.

As far as no-plot horror movies go, I tend to think less is more when
it comes to budget. Give me an earnest shot-on-a-shoestring backyard
zombie flick over some festering pile of big studio crap like THE RING 2.

That said, I am curious about CLOVERFIELD and do hope that it's good.
If only because I've always loved giant monster movies but have always
secretly wished for one that had some legitimate scares...

hopefully they dont feel like it's always got to be a "film".
this structure usually paralyzes people from posting since the bar
gets set too high.
encourage them for sure.

[videoblogging] Semanal: video comments!

2008-01-27 Thread Jay dedman
We've been doing some experimenting over at Semanal.org.
We wanted to (mildly) recreate Ning using Wordpress so we could have
better control over the data we're gathering over the year.

The first big issue is embeddable videos in a thread.
What we did was add some extra fields in the comments. (actually
Michael Aivaliotis and Ze Nuno did it)
Check out how posting a comment looks:
http://semanal.org/2008/01/20/week-4-videos/#comments
Now you can add a thumbnail URL, video URL, and permalink URL.

A video comment looks like this:
http://semanal.org/2008/01/20/week-4-videos/#comment-163
vPIP makes the video play in place.

Michael made a step by step guide for how to install this plugin and
customize it:

Cool!
anyway...come join the fun and post a video.

[videoblogging] Where is the Sanyo HD Waterproof Camera?

2008-01-27 Thread Christopher Bergeron
I've got the Sanyo Waterproof Camera, the fully submersible one..  
Man do I love that camera, but I'm anxiously awaiting the HD Version. 
(no announcement or rumors I just want them to develop it because it 
would ROCK)

I've been surprised how much having a waterproof camera helps.  
Asside from the regular playing in the water I had my previous camera 
die in a lite rain!

The next time the camera is going to be a great help is my upcomming 
Speical Olympics Fundraiser!

Seems I've volunteered to help raise money for  Special Olympics.  
Worse of course is that I've agreed that if I meet my goal I'll jump 
into the FREEZING Cold Ocean in New Hampshire on February 3rd with 
the other nuts like myself who've agreed to this insanity!  Man I 
love having a waterproof camera.

If anyone would like to donate any amount helps, best of all is that 
you can donate online at my Participant's Page:

http://www.firstgiving.com/christopherbergeron

The event is called the Penguin Plunge and it's an annual thing so 
there is the risk that I'll be bothering you again next year.

So I guess I'm asking for you to sponsor me on this insanity.  There 
will be a vlog post of course.  So the fun doesn't need to end when 
your finished parting with your money!

Everyone knows the great work that the Special Olympics does.  And 
that's what it's really all about, doing what's right for the kids.  
Just donate what you can and remember the difference you're going to 
make to some kid.

Thanks.

ps.  I hate forwards but if you know anyone else who either has too 
much money and needs a tax right off, or who has kids, knows any 
kids, or even better LIKES kids and wants to see these special kids 
have the opportunity that the Special Olympics gives them please 
forward this email to them, or heck forwarding this message to your 
entire mailbox would be nice. Or a blog post? Hint Hint Hint  Thanks 
Again.
