Re: [videoblogging] Re: sound/mic help? (SOLUTION!)
You are a genius! I have a stereo sony mic and tried that. I think it's gonna work (better at least). I'll also try to pick up a 2 mono imputs-to-stereo plug converter, too. THANK YOU On 2/18/07, Bill Cammack [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From that video you made, it looks like you're using a mono mic. The specs of the camera say that it has a stereo input. If that's the case, the number of rings on the end of your mic is going to be different from the number of rings on the plug that goes into the camera. Basically, you want both to be the same, one way or the other. Try going to Radio Shack and getting a really cheap (or actually, maybe just asking them to use it to see if it works with your camera, like Jan suggested) mixer that accepts mono inputs but outputs stereo. Plug the adapter plug all the way in and have that connect to the stereo mixer and have that attach to your mic. That solves two problems. 1) Going from mono to stereo and 2) if it's still too loud, you can use the mixer to lower the volume to an acceptable level. This might not be practical on the go, but if you're staying in one place or using a tripod, this could work for you. An added benefit of using a mixer is that you would be able to plug in as many mics as the mixer allows. You could mic yoursef and someone else and have your input go left and their input go right, so while you're taping, you have two clean signals instead of having to pass a mic back and forth. Another application could be to have one side attached to a mic set up to pick up natural sound from the background and the other side pick up your mic. That way, you could mix the sound however you want when you get to editing. My miniDV camera has a stereo input also. The difference is that it also has a headphone jack. When I plug a mono mic into my camera, I only hear the audio on one channel. The other channel is just static, because it's not receiving any input. That doesn't matter, because coming through a mono mic, I'm only going to receive a mono signal, so I only need one channel to come through. I can tell on the headphones that I'm getting what I need, so it's a wrap. They DO sell stereo mics, though, so either try your camera with the adapter all the way in and connected to a stereo mic, or use a mixer to convert the mono signal into a dual-mono signal that the camera can pick up properly on both channels. -- Bill C. http://ReelSolid.TV --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com videoblogging%40yahoogroups.com, Halcyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: interesting.

Anyway, thanks for all the help and suggestions!! from dvinfo.net: I've discovered what the problem is with the external mike input on my HD1. Both the adaptor lead supplied with the camera, and the plastic 2.5 /3.5 adaptor I've tried can be pushed too far into the jack socket! If they are plugged fully in, then you get lots of electrical noise: if you pull the jack out about 1/16th inch, where there's a natural, but small detent position, then all the mikes work fine. So it's simply a mechanical design problem with the jack socket used on HD1, certainly on the camera I have and from what others have said, on at least some others as well.

Re: [videoblogging] sound/mic help? (SOLUTION!)
okay, so I just went out and tried to record a segment using my new pull out the cord a little technique. And I guess I pulled it out a little too much, making the mic not connected at all (so only the camera mic recorded). An external mic is totally useless if I am never sue if it is connected or not. I'm going to have to send it to Sanyo or return it. Which sucks, because I was enjoying it. meh -h On 2/17/07, Halcyon [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: ohmygoodnesss I found something on dvinfo.net.

[videoblogging] Feeling the Vlog love... (Huggable Vday)
Slightly off topic... But we had a live hug on Vday and invited viewers of our vlog (hugNation) to come and join in a Physical Hug for valentine's day. 17 people showed up for a little 'love party' at my grandpa's (94) retirement community. Plus people attended digitally from panama, england, canada, germany, and more. It was a profound experience to see the effects of our digital work growing in the hearts of real people around the world . And it was an amazing thing to see all the pixels we've broadcast come back 10fold in the form of love. And since my grandpa is on his last legs, it was really an amazing way to have a goodbye party for him. Anyway, just wanted to share how richly vlogging can change lives. here's the video from the day: http://www.veoh.com/channels/GrandpaCaleb ((HUG)) -halcyon hugnation.com p.s.

For those unable to do it for themselves, $200 would be a great investment if you had a location/hotel/lounge/retial shop with an interesting ambience. Ma, I found this fabulous 'Magic Shop' in NYC with powerful crystals. They said you could get an idea by watching this link on the Internet! I really 'have to have' the big quartz crystal in their window. It's only $395.00! You get the idea.

Vlogging removes the gatekeepers but traditional media tries to trap new talent. When you buy into them, you won't feature the really interesting, different and fabulous things in your own life because you have been brainwashed to think most popular is best. New talent is trapped, not by traditional media, but by their limited thinking. Case in point - I met an actress about a month ago at a photo shoot. I go into a studio once a year to get professional pictures done. I love the camera, but the whole of act of cheesing in front of one for hours on end is too rigid for my taste. So, I met this young woman who's an aspiring actress. And I use the word aspiring loosely as she's still trying to get her first gig. She was complaining that she couldn't find an agent to represent her and just couldn't get any breaks. Of course, my video podcasting hat goes on and I start telling her about the benefits to her career if she starts one. That if she could put together a show and broadcast it over the internet, she could amass a following. That people who show that they have a following are 10x more likely to get their break on TV (these are my made-up stats, so don't quote me). I told her about Amanda and gave her a Canadian example, Amber MacArthur - both women who used podcasting to jump start their careers in mainstream media. This wanna-be aspiring actress couldn't wrap her mind around what I was saying. She was still asking me about casting agents. She thought I was her connection to Hollywood - wow! So, I broke it down. I asked her what makes her different from all the other wanna-be actresses out there. She couldn't answer me (okay, there's her first problem). I then asked her what would look more attractive to a casting agent - a wanna be actress with a pretty smile or a wanna be actress with a pretty smile and a following of 3- million online fans? Can you believe it, but she still didn't get it. She was asking me if I knew of any video podcasters that could get her to Hollywood. Like I mean, pay her way, put her up in a hotel and connect her with all the cool people in Hollywood. I nearly laughed. If only she knew ;) The Internet in general and video podcasting in particular puts the power of distribution in the hands of many, but sadly, people like this actress will claw away at scarce resources because they can't see beyond the traditional path.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: sound/mic help?
freaking awesome info!! Thank you! Thanks Jan and Randy, too! I'll test more with this info and report back. -Halcyon On 2/15/07, bordercollieaustralianshepherd [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hal I took a listen to your vid. It is pretty hard to judge this way, but these are my thoughts as I listened. Mic test 1: That mic seemed to transfer the handling noise. Who is it made by? Is it heavy (does it have weight to it) and is the cord hard wired into it? At the very end of this test when you have a solid grasp on the mic the audio is much better Mic test 2: This mic almost sounds like one from radio shack. If it is a RS it is crisp for audio and should work much better then it sounds. I am guessing that this is the same mic as the handheld on test four. Mic test 3: This one has me stumped. What model lavalier? The really sticky thing with Lav's is that clothing and placement really impact the quality. Fabrics all have a texture, some that can screw with you. I don't think that it is the shirt you are wearing, but it may explain some of the muffledness (is that a word?). Placement is as picky. To stay on topic, I'll skip details, they don't apply as best I can tell here. I posted a link to the list a few weeks ago to a great site with audio tips/tricks. I assume this is the same mic used in test 4. Mic test 4 (lav and handheld): At this point I am of the opinion it is the camera's internal audio processing. If it is possible to do a test with the camera's built in mics, I'll take the time to listen to it too. But you can do the compare to get a better idea. Look at the spec sheet that came with the camera and all your mics. If you'll send me the model numbers and or a link with the specs I'll take a look to see if there is any outright wrong compatability issues. The mini jacks are not the greatest when it comes to quality. In that same post I mentioned, is a link to a XLR to mini cable with gold connectors. I think it is about $20. IMO I would buy a connector like this, attach it to your camera and seldom if ever unplug it from the camera. The reason is wear and tear is eliminated on the camera's connector. Longer life. It sucks I know but will help in several other ways... a whirlwind or any other mic cable can be bought at a music store. The quality is much better, shielding, guage of wire etc...

I mean, even in this situation, the seizing was captured on video. -halcyon pinkbroadcasting.com On 12/12/06, ~ FluxRostrum [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: The War on Journalism http://fluxrostrum.blogspot.com/2006/11/war-on-journalism.html description from I-Witness Video http://iwitnessvideo.info On October 30, 2006 at a demonstration protesting the murder of journalist Brad Will in Mexico, members of the NYPD assaulted an independent videographer and stole his videocamera. That's right, stole. The filmmaker, FluxRostrum, was not arrested. He did not receive a receipt for seized property. He was not even directly asked for his camera. Instead, without any warning, he was jumped by two police officers, one of whom is an NYPD captain, and knocked down onto the asphalt of 39th Street. One police officer was succcesful in wrenching the camera out of Flux's hands. As Flux crawled around on the ground looking for the eyeglasses which had been knocked off his face during the attack, the cop with the camera quickly conferred with another officer. Then he ran off to hide the camera. When Flux attempted to get his camera back after the demonstration, he was threatened with arrest by a Lieutenant at the 17th Precinct. His lawyer was told that camera was found abandoned at the scene and that it had been turned over to the Manhattan District Attorney's office to be used as evidence against people arrested at the Mexican Consulate demonstration that day. Someone at the 17th Precinct told the D.A. that the camera was found abandoned on the sidewalk. Now the D.A. is insisting on keeping a copy of the stolen videotape to use as evidence. Is this the new normal? Is it legal just because the police say so? If police do not have their own videocameras at events will they simply bonk one of us over the head and steal our gear and videotapes? What if they decide that they do not like what the videotape shows? Will they then destroy it as has happened to so many cameras seized by the NYPD over the past couple of years?

[videoblogging] Re: Sick of the sexism
Oh, Ron... You had me at Harrison Bergeron. ... But in regards to this SEXISM debate... **I'm trying to put it into words** There is something poetic about this episode. In normal media, if someone said something on air that was upsetting to me, I would feel compelled to respond/retort/make it right! But in this new universe where everyone's voices are heard, it is INSANE to try to respond to every perspective you disagree with. Discussions like this become excercises in patience and reminders to re-read my Dalai Lama book. Look... TO ME, this revolution is about technology and distribution. Those are the tools we now have to combat whatever evils we see in the world. So go battle sexism with your vlog. Go battle sexual repression. Go battle censorship. Go battle racism. Go battle boredom. Go battle your own self esteem issues. ...But I think this list should ease-up on attaching too much politics to our tools. My 2 cents. Keep fighting the good fight (whatever that means to you), -Halcyon, CEO, The PBC http://www.PinkBroadcasting.com www.cockybastard.com --- In videoblogging@yahoogroups.com, Ron Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I am a white man, and I have been a minority, and you are right, it is different. I found this thread entertaining. I also find the outrage entertaining, but in a different way. This whole thing reminds me of Harrison Bergeron. Boob jokes are not sexist. Saying that a woman can't do a job because she is inferior is, and nobody did that. Saying that a woman is generally more pleasing to look at is also not sexist. Saying that men like to look at boobs is not sexist. Saying that boobs make a woman is, and nobody did that. This is like saying that black men make better basketball players, and the teams want to win so they hire black men to play. That is why there are more black men in basketball. I don't think anyone would disagree with that, would they? Video is visual, so pretty people tend to do the best in this media, that is quite simply human nature. Golfers, or men (male and female...Is it getting hot in here? Flame on!) tend to like looking at pretty girls. So this guy is... looking to hire a video podcast hostess. What would be the most effective way to spread the word about this opportunity? Or do you know anyone who might be interested? That statement just oozes sexism. Someone took issue with the idea of a female lead, a couple of serious posts were made, then a boob joke. Oh the sexism. I can't wait to hear something akin to 'size doesn't matter' so I can get equally outraged. I might check out your video, but I think it would just be a waste of my time, as I think you are taking things way too seriously and reading into things far too deeply. I apologize if my 'embrace the boob' comment was sexist. I was quite serious. I have no problem with idiots talking about something they don't know about. It happens on TV every single day. It happens in the vlogosphere too. Now you can read into that and make the assumption that I mean 'she' don't know golf, which would be just as incorrect as 'she' has to be a hottie, which is what got us started on this. Personally I don't really care if you were offended. People are offended every day by stuff that is just as silly, in fact, I found your reply on this list far more offensive than any other post. What does that make you? Am I sexist because I was offended by your _expression_ of outrage? Or am I something else? Keep in mind that I am not saying that Sexism is silly, just your interpretation of this thread.

[videoblogging] Halcyon's disclosure (was: Veoh Transcoding Feeds...)
Let's have a straight-up conversation, here. Direct conversation. For example, Halcyon (screen-name) forwards messages from you however we do not know if he is an affiliated party, please advise. Since my integrity was questioned (not maliciously, just questioned)...I wanted to explain my position and feelings about Veoh. (Note: I do NOT represent veoh. These are my personal thoughts.) 1) My name is John Halcyon Styn.Aka cockybastard.com. I have considered myself a digital explorer for over 10 years now, so this is not the first media revolution I have been excited to be a part of...which has pros and cons. :) 2) I have known Dmitry for...8 years? We've worked together and brainstormed dozens of projects. We built citizenx.com together 6 years ago. Before Veoh had a name, I spent many hours with Dmitry getting excited about the new media revolution happening. As Veoh has become a real company with real product, I have continued to use it heavily and chime in frequently. I have done (and continue to do) interface consulting and test piloting including asking for features. I realize I have very different views than many on this list and fear my advise may have mis-steered Veoh at times (or at least misrepresented vloggers priorities). I believe this is why Dmitry is looking to expand his advisory group to include people here. 3) I should mention that the majority of my work the last few years has been consulting for the online adult industry. I have lots of experience with (adult) video distribution on the web and the total lack of control that content creators maintain once something is public. (Or even if it is not public). Some of my duties have been in trying to ensure the creator gets value from the distribution even as the content gets away from them. In this early beta of Veoh, it isn't yet apparent, but I honestly believe that Veoh will be the best solution to empower content creators. I could tell you more about why I love Veoh, but maybe that is for another day (perhaps after Veoh's response to the current debate). I just wanted to disclose my relationship with Dmitry. -Halcyon On 4/8/06, robert a/k/a r [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dmitry, Manually by whom, specifically.

Re: [videoblogging] Spoke with Veoh CEO ** was: Veoh transcoding feeds?
Well, part of this situation is due to the organic nature of the technology growing (and not any evil plan). i.e. Veoh originally did not have encoded versions at all. It was more of a system to find videos (*my understanding) and use a peercasting method to distribute large files without bandwidth fees for broadcasters. Alas, as all my friends started using YouTube to share videos, I was one of the people that begged Veoh to add an automated flash preview for the videos available in their directory. I'm personally STOKED with the resulting technology, but as seen today, new issues have risen up. I've heard nothing from Veoh that made me think they weren't more than willing to make changes or rethink their plans. -Halcyon On 4/7/06, Brad Webb [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: How about only including feeds that have CC info that allow them to aggregate?

[videoblogging] msg from Dmitry Shapiro (Veoh CEO)
I just talked to Dmitry Shapiro (CEO of Veoh.com - contact info below). He is awaiting the ability to post to this Yahoo group, but wanted to make sure you got his response, asap. So I am posting the below on his behalf. -- Forwarded message -- From: Dmitry Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Apr 7, 2006 6:57 PM Subject: Please post to Videoblogging group My name is Dmitry Shapiro, and I am the CEO of Veoh. I would like to address a few of the issues that have been discussed here today, and offer a few solutions. First, let me assure you that Veoh is no evil corporation out to steal anyone's content. If you do some research, you will find that I have been very vocal about what we are trying to accomplish. We want to make video broadcasting available to everyone, to democratize video broadcasting by removing any hurdles that currently exist in the mainstream media. We are on your side, and greatly value your opinions. Second, let me apologize for the way that we have handled the RSS feed issues. My only excuse is that we have done a poor job defining what is really needed and implemented a fractional solution. We are diligently working on making Veoh a great place for video bloggers, and are implementing your suggestiions from this forum. We are taking steps to do the following : 1. We are fixing our system to display a link back to your original video blog. This was in the original spec, but somehow got left out. 2. We are fixing our RSS reader to be sensitive to CC licenses and will automatically respect your licenses. 3. We are figuring out ways to give you the statistics that you need so that views on Veoh are reflected in your feed stats. We expect these changes to be completed over the next 2 weeks. If you would rather we take your feed off of our system, I can assure you that we will be happy to oblige. If you would like your feed out of our system, we will either read your CC license or you can email us at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and we will remove it immediately. I encourage you to give us a chance to fix things, and provide you with a great tool. Some of you are experiencing great load on your servers and are starting to have to pay a lot of money for hosting your videos. We provide you a free service that hosts your videos, and allows you to post any length, full-screen, much higher quality (high bitrate) video, without worrying about the cost of distribution. Give us 500MB videos, and we will distribute them for you completely free of charge. Some of you couldn't care less about such capabilities but others are extremely excited about the opportunity to be broadcasting television-length and television-quality shows. We not only welcome your feedback, but solicit it, and would love for you to drive the direction of our product offering. You will notice that there is no advertising on our site or our client. This is a venture backed company, but it is also a labor of love, out to change the world by giving everyone a free, unrestricted voice. In the near future YOU will have the capabilities to choose if you would like to charge for your video blog, or if you would like to make money by letting us sell advertising, or neither. I will be happy to speak with any of you in person or via phone/email. We are based in San Diego, but I will be in Atlanta on Monday and Tuesday and in Manhattan on Wed, Thurs, and Friday. Please let me know if any of you are available to meet me in person (I'll buy the coffee or beer). My contact info is below, including my cell phone number. My contact info is : Dmitry Shapiro [EMAIL PROTECTED] 619-602-3305 cell Thank you so much for reading this, and please forgive us if we caused you any heartache. We really are your friends.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Other People's Videos
This is a very interesting topic... If you open up your content to free syndication, how much control can you retain? In the friendly blogroll sense, it can be governed by netiquette and friendly emails. But can that scale? I have experience in the adult web world where appropriating content is rampant. If it is content that they charge for, an owner *may* fight to have it taken down. (which is usually way more effort than it is worth) But If it is promotional content, trailers, watermarked vids, etc. They actually PAY people (affiliates) to re-broadcast their content in the hopes of type in traffic. It is tough to be free and open...while retaining control. -Halcyon www.spreadingthepink.com On 3/26/06, Melanie Morgan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thanks for the input guys! To Steve, Keep in mind that some creators don't want you to host their video on your site because they are counting on traffic to their site to get viewer counts and ad views, while others pay for bandwidth and more views cost them money. I'm actually aware of this and this is where the confusion lies. I've always believed in giving credit where it's due no matter what type of media it is, and don't want to rob anyone of their traffic (if anything, I'd like to help generate more traffic for them). At the same time, I don't want to increase anyone's bandwidth costs for linking to their videos. I'd be interested in what Geek Entertainment TV thinks of the method you used to post one of their interviews. http://www.newmediacollective.org/2006/03/ sxsw2006_blogging_while_black.html Looks like you have a direct link to their movie with a link back to their site for credit. In this case, and in the SXSW video, I linked back to their sites. Although I use pop-ups to showcase videos on my other site (http://nyc-tv.com), on The New Media Collective I've elected to use embedded video because 1) it integrates better with the design, and 2) the playing in place feature is just cool. Since GETV does use a CC license, and host their videos on blip.tv, there shouldn't be a problem since I did give them credit and linked back to the original post. I would be interested in their input though. As far as SXSW goes, that's another issue. ;-) With The New Media Collective I consider myself to be a journalist disseminating information. The way I see it, I'm only helping the cause. As they say, as long as the names are spelled right, there's no such thing as bad publicity. :-) When I use clips of others videos for Vlog Soup, I let the creator know as a courtesy. You're absolutely right to do this. Sometimes, in my haste and anxiety to get the post up, I'll skip this part of things. I'll have to slow down long enough to do this, even if it's after the fact. To Nathan, I often contact the person and work out a deal. Most of the time, I host the video. Not a bad idea, but like I said, there often isn't enough time to wait if it's a hot topic. As far as hosting the vids myself, I only want to do it if it's something I shot or was specifically contributed to the site by one of my editors. I really don't want to rob anyone of their traffic numbers. I definitely appreciate the feedback, I guess there'll always be questions, but things are definitely a little clearer now.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: XXX on Blip.tv
That was an EXCELLENT summary of 2257! Well said! -Halcyon On 1/2/06, Stephanie Bryant [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: As Halcyon said-- this is only relating to pornography, not copyright. Under the new rules, sites that redistribute adult content (including websites) would have had to maintain a separate copy of the documentation (drivers license, model release form, age verification form) of each actor appearing in every item they publish. Previously, this documentation was only kept by the studio producing the material. On the back of every porn DVD and in the fine print on every primary producing adult website, you can find an address where these records could be inspected during business hours. Any adult studio maintains these records as a matter of their business practices. To require it of every website owner who scans and posts a DVD cover for purposes of selling that DVD is a fast way to putting porn websites out of business or offshore (the way the rules were changed, without any congressional oversight, means that there cannot be a significant financial impact of the rules change-- Gonzales basically lied flat-out in changing these rules when he said they didn't have an impact). Anyway, here's a fun entanglement with copyright, though: Under current copyright laws, a copyright violation is a civil offense, resulting in civil damages (fines). However, if the secondary producer clause had remained, someone copying a DVD and re-publishing it would not just be a copyright violation. The aggrieved party could then call the FBI, tell the FBI they don't have documentation and have the offender thrown in prison. The first offense is worth 5 years of hard time. Each subsequent offense is worth 10 years, and the rules were supposedly retroactive, meaning they could get you for not having documentation even before you were required to keep it. I think most of us can agree that 10 years in prison for breaking a copyright on a legal product is excessive (10 years in prison for breaking child porn laws is not). These rules, by the way, don't actually catch child pornographers, who work outside of the adult entertainment industry. The industry polices its own and effectively shuts out anyone with ties to child porn. --Stephanie On 1/2/06, Joshua Kinberg [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Stephanie, Can you point me to any documentation on this secondary producer clause and what it means?

Re: [videoblogging] XXX on Blip.tv
We as a part-time professional pornographer, I feel like I should say *something*... Sexual content is just a type of content. Like extreme sports. If it is labeled properly, I don't see the problem. Of course, if a site says , NO PORN then they have to undertake the tide-fighting battle tof trying to keep adult off of an open system. I know that Veoh.com allows adult and gives you the ability to tag it as such. That way, unles you change your default settings, you would never see the risque content in searches or on the site. -Halcyon www.SpreadingThePink.com www.PinkBroadcasting.com On 1/1/06, Paul Knight [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dear all, On the subject of Pornography, something seems to have slipped through the net and landed writhing on the pages of blip.tv It is also happening in Dailymotion.

Re: [videoblogging] Vlogging Highs and Lows
You describe an emotional evolution I've felt several times. With the web/HTML, then with FLASH, and now with vlogging/Video web. With vlogging (as it was with HTML andFlash) there was the initial ahamoment when I realized that everything was changing. Then an era when all these people aroundme realized that we are culturally on the crest of something...significant. The people had just received a huge amount of power via technology. At first the tech is hard to use and filled with limitations. At first you used 6 different sites and 9 pieces of software. There is no book…just experimentation and online gurus. And you feel an excitement (and camaraderie with fellow explorers) just by DOING IT. But then it becomes clear that the rapid flow of ideas in my head was moving WAY faster the world around me. It will be a while before people are gonna adopt the technology…if EVER in the ways I envisioned it. Then the next era is a more technical "white paper era." Where tons of energy is spent with testing and building easier to use technologies so that grandfolks and non-techies can use it. (I still can't get my enclosures formatted right in my feed.) I think we are in a period where big systems are being built and awareness is spreading slowly. It is still VERY exciting, but lacks the initial rush. Not sure if that answered the questions… just stuff I was thinking about.

You know, touchy-feely kinda stuff. As a counselor, I excel at that sort of thing, so gather round on the green shag carpet, turn up your listening ears, and hear my story. I'm hoping some of you out there may have experienced what I am going to call the highs and lows of personal media publishing. When I started vlogging back in May, I had been looking for something new and innovative to funnel my creative energy into. Being introduced to this community was the start of an awesome time of discovery for me. Hell, I didn't even know I had video editing software on my computer, let alone how to use it! I swore that this was finally it. I had found my niche. I've learned so much since then. I was tired of simply blogging, and vlogging was the next level. Why hadn't I found this place earlier? For the last several months I have made videos about all types of things. I've grown more and more comfortable in front of the camera, all while dealing with my own personal privacy issues. I've been acting as a reporter for We Are The Media for the last two months, and that totally legitamized what I was doing. I felt accepted. I even got a digital videocam as a wedding present from my wife! The point is, right now I am experiencing my personal vlogging low. Even after all that self-discovery, I'm losing it. I'm having a hard time turning on the camera. I am finding it difficult to edit footage that I would have jumped at not that long ago. I'm not even watching vlogs as much as I used to. My poor FireANT is getting all backed up. I guess I'm having a hard time figuring out why I've lost thatoomph. Maybe it's pressure to perform, to put out great content, meaningful content. What is meaningful anyway? I feel like it has been only 5 short months, and I'm already losing it. I'm feeling this squeeze, and I'm starting to walk the other way. Perhaps it vlog overload. Then I have to ask myself, am I taking this too seriously? Or maybe I'm not taking it seriuosly enough. Am I cut out to be part of the early stages of a movement? That is what this is, afterall. You know that, right? So many questions with so many different answers, I suppose. I'm hoping one or two of you out there have experienced this before. After blogging for about 2.5 years, I just decided one day that I was through, and I ripped my whole site down, archives and all. Vlogging was my re-birth, if you will. Now I'm feeling that same pointlessness all over again. I feel very disconnected, and I'm thinking about entering the cocoon phase again (don't worry...I won't emerge as Wilford Brimley...at least I hope not). Listen...I'm not a dramatic person, but I was encouraged to throw this out there to the group to inspire some discussion. I think the list has been very technical lately, and it's good to mix it up a bit. That's what I'm doing. Mixing it up. Take it as you will, and vlog on.

I'm hesitent to post this since last Veoh announcement have been had mixed receptions. But I know that I *personally* love to see my work out there and would guess that many on this list think the same. :) Basically: I was told that Veoh is launching next week (Yay!) and Dmitry asked for my opinions on their proposed new home page. I suggested that their little flash intro should have snippets from independent content producers to show the kinda programming that will be available in the post-TV era. Of course, since they are kinda product-focused right now, he asked if I would help. So I sent the designer 4 little 10 second clips and said I would pass the request on. So if you wouldn't mind seeing you or your work flashed on the homepage of Veoh Networks (veoh.com) let me know! [EMAIL PROTECTED] And I'll forward your stuff on. Or just point me to your work if you're cool with an under 10 sec snip being used. (I'm guessing there is a specific Creative Commons license that would apply, but I'm not sure how to search based on that.) Thank you! -Halcyon -- www.SpreadingThePink.com Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Spam from Veoh?
Hey, I'm the pink haired guy and I may have been resposible for some of the confusion and mistaken emails. I get excited and may not have communicated well with Maddie when I was gushing over many of the people on the list. I truly apologize. In any case, I have known Dmitry for many years and he is a stand up guy with a visionary passion. I just spoke with him and I have confidence he will do whatever possible to make this right. If you have lingering frustration or doubt, I'd give him a call (he posted his phone number). Again, my apologies to those who got mail they didn't want. -Halcyon www.SpreadingThePink.com On 8/19/05, Steve Watkins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: To be fair they already did that here in the past. Someone posting their previous press release caused some moaning about press releases, which caused several people connected to Veoh to appear, apologise, and provide a link to the yahoo group for Veoh. The best way they can fix the current mailing list strife is to concede that their mailing list database is impossibly tainted, and to trash it and start again with a fully compliant opt-in and opt-out system. I guess that would be a brave move, considering at the product beta release stage they need to spread the word to those who are genuinely interested, but because the database has lots of people in it who dont want to be there, I think its a measure that should be taken for the sake of their reputation. As for the reality behind anti-spam legislation, I believe people who are sending thousands of emails occasionally, as opposed to millions every day, are more likely to suffer the negative effects of annoying the hell out of potential customers, than legal penalties.

A nice short introduction should work well, where we can ask questions in an open manner and then perhaps... a link to Veoh's own Yahoo group or mailing list for those of us who are interested.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Veoh Networks Announces Financing - Get ready to upload your video
I have been working with Veoh. I'm not an employee...yet. We'll see. To me, the benefit of an ad system, is that it creates the possibility of making a living doing this very realistic. (Remember the ad revenue is split with the broadcaster) AND it puts all the sales duties on someone else's plate. I can remember when my home page was very popular in the late 90's and I was trying to invent a business plan around a popular site. The only people I knew doing personal publishing and making money had organized into networks (I think Maxi was one?). Then the networks had resources to sell niche ads for those sites (instead of broad stroke click to punch the monkey ads.) I see Veoh's system as one of those networks (on a much larger scale.) At this stage, doing everything yourself isn't much different. But how many people are making, or watching personal video publishing right now? It reminds me of the days of when you could check Cool Site of the Day and stay up to date on all things web. I think the big benefits to Veoh (or any system like it) will be much more clear when iptv revolution is more widespread and the amount of content starts to reach infinity. -Hal (John Halcyon Styn) ;)On 8/11/05, Jay dedman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I encouraged Dmitry to post that here. Sorry about that. I got excited about the Veoh launch (and all the other products launching, too). All the development going on is one of the most exciting things, to me. Personally, I like to see the relevent press releases, but maybe they're better for a different list. -Halcyon SpreadingThePink.com Halcyon(funny that we call each other by these names)you work for Veoh, correct? what is the difference between what youre offering and me having my own videoblog with a feed? it also says on your site that : Veoh does not charge content producers to broadcast their content, and allows them to specify if they would like to offer that content for free or for a fee. Veoh derives revenues from taking a percentage of the fee, or advertising wrapped around the free content. so why would i host my video on veoh and and allow it to be wrapped in ads? this IPTV-hype reminds me of all the problems with regular TV.

[videoblogging] 93 year old vlogger
Okay, so that is a bit of an exageration. But I decided to start including my weekly videos of grandpa in my vlog (instead of making him his own.) We do a virtual event via webcam every Tuesday and I just started taping it. Since I think everyone should meet my grandpa, I wanted to share the latest episode. :) http://www.SpreadingThePink.com Hope your weekend is filled with sunshine, -Halcyon www.Spreadingthepink.com www.cockybastard.com SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Vlogs As Art
This is a very interesting idea. I have been frustrated by the web sized video of vlogging. But I like this thinking of it as something different than a show. Something more intimate. Would your vlog have different content if you made a bigger size? One that a viewer would watch on a TV in their living room? -Halcyon On 7/21/05, duncan speakman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: oh.. an interesting topic.. for me the quality that sets vlogs apart is the 'single viewer' idea.. i try to approach mine like those mini-polaroid pictures (the credit card size ones).. i like the sense of intimacy that a 320x240 image brings (or other aspect rations.. quicktime lets me make videos in a portrait aspect ration and not leave any dead space my videos are always made with the intention of only being seen by one person at a time. d -- 29fragiledays.blogspot.com SPONSORED LINKS Individual Fireant Typepad YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] Vlogs As TV
On 7/21/05, Michael Sullivan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i have very little interest at this point in watching vlogs on a television, regularly. Interesting! This thread has made some things much more clear to me. For example, *my* eventual goal is to have people watch my videos on a TV, not via their computer. (You can't even buy a new PC now without being offered the Media center...so this is not far off.) The computer is a terrible place to present video. People are in multi-tasking mode. Personally, It is rare that I watch more than 2 minutes of video without checking my email at some point (and I don't think my habits are unique.) I long for the great convergence when my self-produced, self-published videos will be available and viewable in a TV setting...when people have their feet kicked up. When they settle in to their sofa with a beer and actually focus on my work. I am new to vlogging and am now understanding that maybe I don't want to be a vlogger at all. (I still think it is SUPER cool, but not my end goal.) I just started working with a company that is focussed on full-screen, all-can-publish, TV-like programming. At first I thought the overlap with vlogging was substancial, but I am learning that they quite distinct. They address similar ideas and I'm excited about both! (I'll post about the new company soon.) In any case, thanks for the great brain food! -Halcyon www.SpreadingThePink.com www.cockybastard.com YAHOO!

Re: [videoblogging] webhosting advice ...
I've been happy with dreamhost.com for years. I think I saw that several people here use them. They are a good balance of cheap/speed/reliable/freindly (not the best at any...but a very livable compromise) And have a good referral program: http://www.dreamhost.com/r.cgi?cockybastard ;) I have the code-monster plan at under $20 a month and have like 300 gigs a month trasfer (they give you extra for each month you stay with them) -Halcyon On 7/18/05, meistermullet [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I'm looking for a place to set up my own website.
