Re: [videoblogging] virtual interviews workflow/tech advice?
The large challenge this type of endeavor presents is getting interview subjects into the best audio video gear and software possible. A difficult-to-control issue unless you have one or two packages of web cams and microphones you can ship around. Even then, there's the software and setup issue. You gotta have mac and PC capable of each. That is, unless you ship a pre-configured computer along with the cam and mic. The way I imagined this happening was to be willing to sacrifice consistency and quality. In this case, you are able to deal with what ever hard and software the subjects bring to the table. The interviewer / producer will have to be familiar with a wide range of possibilities, how to 'read' subjects' tech savvy-ness, and how to make the best use of even unfamiliar setups. All this takes time to test, etc., and a willingness on the part of interview subjects to install new hard and software, etc. Presumably your subjects are somewhat geek friendly. If not, then a local geek-friendly videoblogger contact to personally set it up on your behalf might be a choice. >From what population do you wish to draw?

[videoblogging] Re: Easy implement pay-per-download?
I don't have experience in that area, but I'd be interested in any stats you might be able to pull from this 'experiment', such as whether you could tell how much of your free material was being viewed compared to your PPV stuff and whether people who viewed certain clips were more likely to pay to see more. I also wonder about the challenges of making content compelling enough for people to want to pay for it. I don't mean YOU... I mean anyone, in general. Such as, "making of" videos or outtakes or even interviews with the cast/crew/whatever. The way DVD extras work on actual DVDs is that they're incentive to buy the DVD after you've already seen the movie in the theater. The extras are thrown in FREE, not something that people pay for. It's more like IF you pay for the DVD, you get these free episodes. So, yeah... Good luck with your project. Should be interesting. :D Bill Cammack http://BillCammack.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Chris" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I'm thinking of setting up part of my site with DVD-style extras... > outtakes, behind the scene footage, etc. > > Are there any easy systems out there for implementing either > pay-per-download clips or some kind of gated members area?

You have to get it how you get it. The only way around that is, like Jan said, to ship identical cameras/mics/tripods/LIGHTS around the country, AND have someone who's knowledgeable about setting them up on-location to make sure you're getting the best quality. As we've been finding out over the last couple of months, quality costs money. There's no way around it. Either the professionals are expensive, or the equipment's expensive. Other than that, you get what you can, when you can, in the quality you can, and consistency is completely out the window.

[videoblogging] Re: Is anyone here attending Streaming Media East?
I'm in Kentucky. I'd even thought about driving, but I think the gas would cost as much as the registration fee! LOL I am interested in a lot of the exhibitors, but in the workshops too. Specifically these workshops- Monday- Comparing and Using Online Video Codecs Planning, Building, and Launching a Successful Podcast Tuesday- Q&A with George Kliavkoff, Chief Digital Officer, NBC Universal (would love to know their multi platform online digital strategy) Effective Advertising Models for Short-Form Video Marketing Monetizing and Aggregating Niche Video Content Focus Group: Young People's Attitudes Toward Online Video Creating and Promoting Amateur and Viral Videos Entertainment Devices: How TiVo, Xbox, and iPods Are Changing the Content Landscape Codec Comparison: VP6, H.264, and Windows Media Wednesday- Online Video: Should Content Creators Get a Cut? New Advertising Platforms and Networks Independent Content: Creating New Revenue Streams Planning & Executing Successful Webcasts Of course I would have to clone myself for some of these since some of these happen at the same time. Why do that do that??!! lol I won't even get started on what exhibits I'd go to! :-) Sheila --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, "Renat Zarbailov" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Wow, seems that this event is very dear to you... :)) > What exactly are you interested in for this event?

[videoblogging] Re: Fwd: Veoh is hiring!
I hope to see Veoh get stronger tech support. They continue to have problems that haven't been resolved for over a year. I'm a little concerned that Veoh may be having bigger problems that tech support though. Does anyone here use Veoh regularly? I have a whole online tv site that uses the Veoh platform (http://www.readersentertainment.tv). I love how easy it is to use the Veoh platform, but they've been slow to respond to emails and issues. That's my personal experience, I have no idea if anyone else is having this experience. My rep there isn't there anymore so perhaps that's why I'm having problems getting emails returned. I would hate to see Veoh go down. It isn't the best video site out there IMHO, but it has some great features.
