[videoblogging] NYC Area Videographers needed - 6/16!
Hi everybody-- I'm working with a charity called the Heart Gallery...you can check us out at: http://heartgallerynj.com/ Basically, we've got dozens of professional photographers (some world famous) who have volunteered to take portraits of New Jersey's hardest-to-place foster children. The photos become a traveling gallery show, as well as a website. We started this group two years ago, and (thanks largely to publicity from the Today Show, 20/20, CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, USA Today, etc etc) 85 of the 350+ children we shot in our first go-round have now been adopted. We're gearing up to do it again, this time focusing on the 100 children who have been in the system the longest, in an attempt to find them a "forever family" before they turn 18 and age out...when they're left pretty much to fend for themselves. So where do videobloggers come in? This time around, we want to include little video bios of each kid on the website (hosted by blip, natch). We've got two professional shooters on board, but would love to have a third, especially one who can provide his or her own equipment. Unfortunately, I think this will require more than just regular folks with Xactis (or else I'd be doing it), rather, we're looking for people with documentary experience, pro-level cameras, and shotgun mics. And as if that isn't enough, we're looking for them to work cheap. Yes, there is pay, but it ain't much...it will certainly be below the day rate of many of the pros that I hope read this list. So if you're available to shoot next Saturday in Newark, please either respond here (ideally with a link to your work), or drop me an email...I'm happy to answer any questions about anything I may have left out. Thanks, everyone! --Ben
[videoblogging] Recommendations for lav mic and lights?
Hey guys-- Any thoughts on a good (and cheap) lav mic and light kit for a new video blog? Just lighting and mic'ing one stationary person, and looking to keep it in the $200 range, if at all possible. It'd be great to be able to plug the mic right into the mini-jack on my dv camera, without having to mess with an additional mixer. You know, I never had to worry about this stuff working with cartoon animals... Thanks!

[videoblogging] Re: Blip adds Intros & Outros
You guys and your sleeves... I do understand the overall concept, but I think I'd be unsettled not having "complete" versions of my episodes stored locally. If I decided to add or change intros/outros, I think I'm one of those cement-heads that would just go back and re-edit. Or implement the changes going forward, and leave the archives as is. Don't expect I'm in the majority on this one, but there you have it. No offense to people with actual cement heads.

[videoblogging] Re: Blip adds Intros & Outros
Hey Mike-- I'm new to the group, but have been lurking. First, many thanks for the leadership you provided as regards the MyHeavy situation. I already love blip, but your conduct in that situation was just one more reason. As to pre- and post-roll...what is the advantage of doing that via blip, as opposed to just editing our videos as we want them to appear (including opening/closing credits or whatever) then uploading? I'm not sure I understand it... Thanks! Ben -- Unleashed is an animated comedy show that follows the trials and tribulations of animal actors in Hollywood.
