Re: [videoblogging] Re: tripod advice
- Original Message - From: miglsd27 Thank you all for your replys. What I was looking for was something like what I have in our Vinten tripod, a ball based head, that levels the head only. Adjusting the tripod legs always leaves me sideways when I pan, I hate that. But I see there aren´t many options, altough Manfrotto does seem the best option. For me, an horizon that is not horizontal on the frame (does this make sense?) is more disturbing than a squeeky or bouny pan or tilt movement. But maybe thats just me ;). === It won't be sideways when you pan if the tripod is level (that was the point of adjusting one of the legs) A suggestion: see if you can find a circular level. Some tripods have this built in, but you can buy a general purpose one that is somewhat bigger than a built-in one .. but will work for setting up the tripod. It's a round device with two or three concentric rings and, of course, a small bubble of air inside. It helps to level in two dimensions ... more like 360 degrees. Unlike a conventional ruler level that is designed to level only in one dimension. Richard Amirault Boston, MA, USA http://n1jdu.org http://bostonfandom.org http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J7hf9u2ZdlQ

I'd be lost without my little level on the tripod. I'd never thought about that is a 360 degree level. Jeffrey [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Good news! I remember how much of a burden was lifted off of my back when he and the first family were taking the stage in Grant Park.

Nope, the last waves of an old, shitty one. The waste fraud and abuse that took place in this country over the last 20 years is astonishing.

I'm seeing interlaced footage when I output from iMovie regardless of whether or not I click 'deinterlace source footage' in the output settings, when I set the output settings to 1280 x 720. Don't see the problem when I output at 640x360 Have been using these settings http://eugenia.gnomefiles.org/images/mp4-h264.jpg Anyone experienced anything similar? Ping me offline?

You should contact some of the other folks who have taken similar vlog journeys.

I doubt it was more than just gas money. But why does nayone make a road trip...the journey. I want to announce my intent to do this on national TV, Good Morning America comes to mind, or some other TV show of that size. As far as sponsorship, first thing that popped in is having a Smart car (smartusa.com) provide the car/gas for traveling in exchange for promoting it on the road and in the end credits. But then I recalled Aptera (aptera.com). I think it's a great company which will revolutionize personal transportation. Here is my question to videoblogging community; I never written such proposals or contacted any TV station before to release a press release. What network/show would be ideal to contact first to announce of my intent to make this happen? What car company, aside from the ones I mentioned above, should I contact for sposorship first? well...sounds like you have a plan. Seems overly optimistic and could lead to some disappointment if these things dont happen. But go ahead and write letters for sponsorship. Crazier things have happened. You would be the first videoblogger to announce his quest on Good Morning America. Jay -- http://jaydedman.com 917 371 6790
Re: [videoblogging] Trailer Hunger
Ah, Steve McQueen, video artist and Turner Prize winner (http://www.tate.org.uk/britain/turnerprize/history/mcqueen.htm ), his first feature. By all accounts extraordinary. I don't know about France or the US, but like McQueen I remember Bobby Sands' hunger strike. On the news every day, what I remember is the debate about whether there should be intervention or not (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bobby_Sands ). I also think a future direction of narrative cinema will be this more poetic cinema. The cinema of attractions (the blockbuster hang on to your seat SFX thrill fest) is a fin-de-siecle sort of thing as popular cinema increasingly gets like opera (big, grand, expensive, indulgent and while significant, perhaps not terribly relevant in the scheme of things). When anyone can do FX on their own computer (witness the rise of fan feature films, for example remakes of Star Wars (URL: http://www.smh.com.au/news/film/film-fans-put-themselves-in-the-picture/2008/02/19/1203190819018.html /) then what compels and justifies cinema going is not the spectacle but its elegance (artistry, poetry, style). well, at least I can hope...
