[videoblogging] Canon HF10/HF100???

2008-05-21 Thread Caleb
Was at BH looking around and tried the new canon HF10 and HF100, they  
seemed awesome vlogging cameras, even have a little assist light, mic  
jack and levels, different sized batteries, etc. Anyone have one? The  
price is dropping on the HF100, which seems the way to go...

[videoblogging] Presentation on videoblogging and activism - any links/suggestions

2008-05-21 Thread beth_tilston
Hey all, 

I'm doing a presentation this Saturday on 'web video and activism' 
and 
am wondering if anyone has any links or suggestions.  I've already 
planned to talk about Ryanishungry, Vision on Tv, Qik/mobile tech, 
Alive in Baghdad/Swajana, Undercurrents.  Any other suggestions for 
sites/approaches?

The presentation is for an unconference called Reclaim the Web that I 
am organising with my friend Chris.  It's 'one day of open 
conversations and presentations on using social media for activism 
and 
social change.'  It's on Saturday in Brighton and if you want to come 
you can sign up here - http://reclaimtheweb.net/  

I'll also be trotting out an amended version of the presentation at 
Open Tech - http://www.ukuug.org/events/opentech2008/schedule/ - this 
time called 'Telling Social and Environmental Stories Using Online 
Video'.  Suggestions before Saturday would be very helpful, but I 
would 
also welcome them before July.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I'll respectfully disagree and say that using nothing is better. I built one
back in 2004 when that page first surfaced online. If you really need to
split the difference between steadycam and nothing this one is far better:
