[videoblogging] How a newspaper uses video

2008-02-06 Thread Jay dedman
The Associated Press Photo Managers Association (USA) made a video on
how the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel uses video on the website of their
newspaper.
http://www.apphotomanagers.org/ktmlpro/images/uploads/video%20editing.mov

if newspapers actually embrace video, and start really telling stories
about my local arealook out.

Thanks Richard - I'm diving into the Bogen site right now. I'm also
looking at an Amazon page with the monopod and the heads.

I saw the video for that a few days ago. I didn't know I'd need
something like that until this past weekend. If I don't find what I
need at the photo store I'll mosey over to the hardware store and give
it a go.

I also saw a video of a guy on You Tube that shows you how to find the
center of balance on a regular tripod that acts just like a steadycam.

I went to http://www.quikpod.com it seems to be a great gadget if I
want to take a photo of myself but I need to stabilize as I'm shooting
in variable situations. 

When I was shooting at UCLA the stadium "vibrates" with people. Or
folks would stand up un-expectantly. 

I'm a little confused about the walking stick. Do you mean a wooden
one with a tripod head? That could be kinda stylish.

Re: [videoblogging] Wanna Buy Revver? AND Whose got File Backups??

2008-02-06 Thread Roxanne Darling
I am certainly not talking about backups to any sort of DVD-type external
media performed by the hosting company.
And yes, we have the ability to subscribe and/or download.

What I am bringing up for discussion is in the genre of contingency
planning.  And because we as a business have managed servers for over a
decade, it is something I am familiar with.

1) Some hosting companies (lower end pricing) do not provide back up
services. So, if one of their servers goes bad or someone's site programming
goes bad, they do not have a backup to pull from. You are basically starting
over from scratch. I think someone on this list had that problem a while
back??

If backup services *are* included in the hosting plan, then there is a
separate and duplicate set of data that can be used to restore the said site
files in question. If people are not keeping copies of the stuff they
upload, and a something goes wrong and there is no backup in place, then
there obviously is a problem.

2) If services like Revver that are the main repository for someone's media
files go away without warning, how will people be affected?

In our case, we have not been keeping local versions of all the various file
formats we upload for each daily episode. So if blip were to have a major
failure, we would be screwed for all episodes around #375 and forward. I'm
feeling irresponsible about this!

Our challenge is a bulk factor: having over 580 episodes, with an average of
2-4 file formats per episode.

So Charles, for you, my question was more to discuss this in the "thinking
out loud" mode.
I would hope that your servers are running frequent backups.
I would hope that if blip appeared to be heading south, we would be
contacted in advance to collect (aka download) our assets.

Right now we only have an FTP drop box, not 2-way FTP access, so this would
be a cumbersome manual task of downloading that could take days conceivably.


I don't know if there are other ideas??? I am not a server admin, just a
yellow belt who gets nervous about back ups now and then. And someone who is
happy to pay for value-added services. :-)

I choose not to think about the URL paths that would require updating. Long
live Blip!

Hey Charles,

I don't know what Rox wants, but maybe Blip.tv offering (to mail)
DVD backups of their videos might be a service people are willing to
pay for.

2008-02-06 Thread Steve Watkins
I dunno, even without that factor should I be reading it as approximately the 
same as 
trying to sell the company at a valuation of $1.5million?

Man, when I was just thinking about the price as $500,000, it didnt sound like 
a lot at all 
really. 10 people working for a year at $50k. Or under 200 Mac Pro's. Only a 
lot of money 
if one person has it. And then I read the mashable link after typing the start 
of this 
message, doh Im just parroting them with these thoughts.

Mmm they ate $13million of venture capital, apparently gave content creators $1 
million.  
The need for silly valuations, spending & to be huge to succeed, really shows 
itself here. I 
boggle at thoughts of what could be done with $13 million spent slowly and 
wisely over a 
long period of time.

Oh well, despite all the hype over recent years, Im still none the wiser as to 
how viable the 
net video industry really is. Al the huge numbers that get bandied about 
regarding online 
advertising make it seem viable, how are they not able to get their mits on 
more of this? 
Only the mega-scaled monsters win enough dollar dollar to tingle the profit 
motive?

Another good (GREAT) thing about shooting in HD is that you get a crispness
of picture that you can't get from shooting in SD. It's like moving from
taking still images with your cell phone to taking still pictures with a
digital camera - there's all this detail you never had before. Even if you
end up compressing your files and reducing the resolution, you get detail
you could never have with an SD camera.

Compression is most definitely an art, but if you're willing to wait for it,
you can shoot whatever the heck you want and make it look good (assuming you
pay attention to lighting and keeping things in focus). It's the big sizes
that are hard (1920x1080, 1280x720), not the iPod sizes - it's far easier to
make stuff look pretty at small sizes.

[videoblogging] Re: Which WP theme? ufo'splode? show in a box?

2008-02-06 Thread Cheryl
Yeah, what Richard, Charles & Steve said.

Show in a Box is your best bet at the moment, but remember that you
can use its WordPress plugins with ANY WordPress theme. If you find a
theme that sets the width of its content area a teensy bit wider than
your preferred video player width, you're set.

The current Show in a Box Theme for WordPress is designed for the
content area to be wide enough for 640px-wide video, so go with that
if you're in a hurry. There are 6 styling choices within the theme, or
you can modify one of them to suit yourself if you know how. 

As Richard said, the difference between vlogsplosion and Show in a Box
is that with vlogsplosion it's harder to change themes. With Show in a
Box, you just pick the components you want, you don't have to use the
theme.

As to feeds, I think Steve's right. Even if you can load all your
media formats into one RSS feed, I don't know that there's a feed
aggregator smart enough to sort out the viewer's preference. I think
they all just take the media format they see first. If you find
different, I want to know about it!

Good luck. If you go with Show in a Box, join its google group like
Richard suggested to get assistance setting it up.

I guess that may be best achieved in a slightly different way. If the single 
feed contains 
multiple enclosures (one for each format) then it should really be up to the 
client to decide 
which one it wants to suck. 

In practice Im not sure how advanced this stuff is on clients, Im not aware of 
any server-
side way to do it like you suggested, and so I presume for most its still the 
painful 
exercise of offering multiple different feeds.

Charles' stuff sounds like one part of the jigsaw, but I dunno about clients 
being this 
clever. Off the top of my head theres further issues if you offer multiple 
different Apple 
formats, eg different video for ipod than appleTV, Im not sure theres anything 
in itunes 
that can make clever choices about that, or even allow you to predict the 
desired format at 
the server end?

Sort of.

There's a plugin that support MediaRSS.  (MediaRSS lets you put all
the different video enclosures -- mov, m4v, wmv, etc -- in one RSS
feed.)

VideoPress Video Feeds
http://changelog.ca/project/VideoPress_Video_Feeds

This plugin is still in testing... so you won't see it on the Show in
a Box download page yet.

I think the current Show in a Box theme does that.

For this you want one of the Show in a Box plugins  It's called:
VideoPress Recent Videos...

http://changelog.ca/project/VideoPress_Recent_Videos


>  3) Simple handling of multiple video enclosures

Like I said above, what you want for this is...

I have a Bogen monopod (and two Bogen tripods) .. but for video use I find 
that the Bogen Tilt Head is a valuable addition. You *can* buy a Bogen 
monopod with one of these ( Bogen 3218, 3216, 679B, and more)  .. but you 
can also buy it separately. Look for Bogen / Manfroto items #3232 and #3229

On a monopod without a tilt-pan fluid head (most of 'em) you can easily pan 
left and right, but tilting up / down is a problem. This accessory helps out 
in that area. It isn't a fluid head .. but a lot better than nothing at all 
and a lot cheaper than a fluid head.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: TrafficGeyser.com ?

2008-02-06 Thread Charles Iliya Krempeaux
I guess that depends on what your goal is with your video blog.

- Do you just want people to see you videos?
- Or are you trying to make a living off your videos?

If you just want people to watch you videos, then a good strategy for
that may very well be to push them everywhere you can.  (I.e., push
them to YouTube, Blip.tv, Revver, Veoh, DaliyMotion, etc etc.)

But if you are trying to make a living off of your videos, then I
question whether pushing your videos everywhere will accomplish that.

When you're on someone else site, they have all the control.  And you
can only do what they allow you to do.  (And they can change their
mind at any time.)

In my judgment... having you own site on a domain that you actually
own is the best way to go if you want to make a living off video
blogging (in most cases).  And do what you can to get people to come
to your site.

It might take a little longer to build an audience but once you
do, they'll really be your audience (and not the audience of a video
sharing site).

Re: [videoblogging] Which WP theme? ufo'splode? show in a box?

2008-02-06 Thread Richard H. Hall
Waz,

I'm using the ufo splode theme for two sites (richardshow.org,
inspiredhealing.tv), which was Michael Verdi's variation on the vlogsplosion
theme that Rudy developed.

Michael and others can correct me if I'm wrong, but one of the main things
that lead to the show in a box thing was that the splosion themes were very
specialized and would be broken if you tried to replace them with another
wordpress theme - the splosion themes aren't compatable with other wordpress
themes. So, show in a box is sort of the next version of the splode themes.

My last videos I posted are 640x480 and they messed up the interface some,
but I have not had time to work on this, or, more importantly, I haven't had
a chance to upgrade to the show in a box thing.

So I would recommend going with show in a box. They also have a very active
development community going now ([EMAIL PROTECTED])

For video, I like shoulder mounts. They can be found for under $200 and 
are pretty small. The human body is a good stabilizer ... this is why 
"pro" cameras are big enough to shoulder mount. Mass makes inertia :)

Monopods are a good alternative. They add weight for stabilization, can 
be used in a tripod-ish manner for still shots and give you the reach to 
pull off shots you would normally need a crane for. Companies make 
"pockets" to turn spare real estate on your belt into a spot to 
stabilize your monopod (I have that on my purchase list for 2008).

For audio, that shoulder mount is kinda silly. I have a $0.99 tripod 
from the bargain bin at MicroCenter for my Zoom H2, but I'd never dare 
put a camera on it. Try the SLR version of the GorillaPod (tripod with 
flexible legs). DO NOT buy the cheaper/smaller version, they will break 
... mine is now in a dumpster somewhere in Germany.

The DIY stabilizers work, but are awkard to use ... and not very 
professional looking. I interview sci-fi stars every year for a DVD 
project, and I don't think they'd treat me as well if I rolled in with 
my camera on a length of plumbing pipe.

[videoblogging] Which WP theme? ufo'splode? show in a box?

2008-02-06 Thread wazman_au
Hi vloggers,

It's Waz from Crash Test Kitchen.

Right now I'm working on a new vlog project that will be built on
WordPress and have multiple video formats on offer.

I'm wondering what's in, what's out, what's being deprecated as far as
WP vlog themes are concerned.

Galacticast's ufo'splode theme looks closest to what I want - the
horizontal bar of previous posts across the bottom is particularly
perfect - but is this theme still being developed? They seem to be
using the Blip flash player rather than their own, whereas the info at
the following link seems to indicate it uses their own player picking
up a .mov file - or am I misunderstanding?

http://wiki.vpip.org/index.php?title=Using_Vlogsplosion

Then there's this Show in a Box thing ... 

Of all the various plugins that allow you to add multiple enclosures
and multiple RSS feeds, is there one that lets you have a SINGLE feed
address, but detects what client is sucking on the other end of the
feed and sends out the appropriate enclosure (mov, m4v, wmv etc)?

I suppose my wishlist is:
1) Latest post displayed with a big player in the middle of the page,
with commenting
2) Thumbnails and maybe titles for earlier posts running horizontally
underneath this
3) Simple handling of multiple video enclosures

I'm sure there are things I've forgotten...

That's true up to a point. I'm acquainted with several thousand people both
in person and via email, but I'd like to think that there are many people
I've never met who might be interested in the stuff I post online. Those are
the people I really want to reach, because it's comparatively easy to get

Or a small monopod.

Like a boom pole, they come in sections and can be folded down to a fairly

Perhaps a documentary-length boom pole could double as a monopod with a

How about the simple "string tripod"?  Get a 1/4 20 eye bolt from the
hardware store and screw it into the tripod socket.  Run a string from

 It works pretty well and it's about as portable as it gets.  And the

Re: [videoblogging] Photoshop hints for Flickr newbie

2008-02-06 Thread John Coffey
Wow, thanks for taking the time Irene for giving me such a great roadmap for my 
pics. I'm gonna save and print this and start scanning away!
  JC

Irene Duma <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
  Hi John,

If you¹re spending all that time scanning them, which takes time, I¹d
suggest scanning at print resolution, which is 300 dpi. You never know when
you might need something going to print. You can always downconvert for web
later. But you can¹t take web ready art and make it print ready.

Make some backups of these scans, burn to CD or DVD, call them your
masters, and keep them safe.

Now you can prep for web. Make a copy of your scans. Web-ready art needs 72
dpi. And yes, Flickr will resize for you. It also allows for different size
viewings, so I think putting up pics bigger than 600px wide is smart.
Depends also what you are doing this for. Are you putting them up with
creative commons licensing for others to use? Knowing why you are putting
them up online may help you decide what size is best. There are lots of
pros up there. Maybe you can see what they are doing, or ask them.

Ok, back to prepping for web. Remember jpeg is lossy compression, so do not
do your corrections to jpegs. It reapplies the compression and degrades the
photo. Do them to .psd files. Save to jpeg at very end only.

You may want to colour correct your pics. Depends on your scanner, they vary
in how well they portray colours.

In Photoshop, you can colour correct your pics. Easiest is with levels.

You can do Image>Adjustments> auto levels

Or 

Image >Image>levels.

I usually do the second one. Adjust this so that the blacks are true black,
and the white is true white. Slide the little arrows in to touch where the
³peaks² start. Makes a world of difference.

After scanning you may want to do a Filter> sharpen>unsharp mask. That can
sharpen it up, make less blurry.

Then you want to Save for web. Quality 70 % is usually good enough.

You can automate these tasks (not levels or unsharp mask, those are done
individually according to each pic¹s needs.)

But Auto levels and then Save to Web could be automated.

First you record an Action: Window>action. Basically you do your optimizing
to one photo, and record the steps you take.

Then you Batch it. File>automate>batch. You can apply your Action to all the
pics you have in a folder. That will automate the process, and help you save
time.

For your blog, you might want to make an action that resizes them to 600px.
But start from the best quality to do this. Meaning don¹t do this to a jpeg
you have all ready optimized for the web. Lossy compression is a a bummer
that way.

There are lots of tutorials on the web on how to do this.

Hope that helps.

suggestions. I've looked at the DIY steadycam but I'm not that
mechanically inclined.

I need something portable that can fit into a large woman's purse (the
purse being large, no me.) can be set up in under a minuet and can
work with hard drive and mini records.

Gotta go to work. Will check back later this afternoon.

Thanks,

Gena

Yeah, i'm not sure that SEO is the best way to get your videos seen  
either. When people want something, say a tent, they go to search  
engine of choice and search for 'tent'. I am not convinced that is  
the way people find their media. Typically (in my limited experience)  
they browse media site much like they channel surf on TV. I've  
certainly never gone to Google looking for "experimental web video  
using found footage and electronic music" Know what I mean...

So it would be my assumption that getting your media spread wide  
across the web with hooks and lines back to your site and the  
original media would be the best policy of getting 'seen'. I'm  
considering dumping everything I have created up on YouTube for this  
very reason, it just has a wealth of viewership. Eyeballs is eyeballs  
I guess
