Re: [videoblogging] Keeping tapes
I'm a bit biased due to my training as a historian, but throwing away any record that cannot be recreated makes me cringe, no matter how prosaic the content may be. Keep them, Adam, and keep a machine that can play/transfer the DV tapes. There will be a time in your life when you will have plenty of time to watch that footage, and I'm 99.99% sure there is something there that you will be very grateful to have kept ev On Sun, Sep 27, 2009 at 8:46 AM, Adam Quirk wrote: > > > I'm in the middle of a move, and came across the box of mini-DV tapes I've > accumulated over the years.

[videoblogging] Case Study Showing How Videobloggers are Affecting Change
Hi everyone – In my work with the Repeal Prop 8 folks, I've had the pleasure of meeting Eugene Hedland and Bryan Choate from TruthandHope.org. These guys get it like we do, and believe that authentic conversations from real people are the best way to cause change. It's folks like Bryan and Eugene that are forcing the political establishment to work harder, work smarter and leave everyone with a living wage while keeping campaign costs down. Their latest ad is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RARArQ-P6Ik And I invite you to take a look at Truth & Hope's latest work and their outlining of a study that shows how a videoblog-style political ad is far more effective than the status quo: http://tinyurl.com/m4e4ro -- Jeffrey Taylor 912 Cole St, #349 San Francisco, CA 94117 USA Mobile: +14157281264 Fax: +33177722734 http://twitter.com/jeffreytaylor http://videocampsf.com Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Why I'm grateful to this group, reason #2,454,782
I'm really thrilled to announce that I was asked to join the statewide board (IAG) charged with restoring marriage equality in California by repealing Proposition 8 in California. You can read the press release here: http://www.restoreequality2010.com/2009/09/restore-equality-2010-welcomes-jeffrey-taylor-to-interim-administrative-group/ I want to make clear that this is YOUR result. Without the training, contacts and values of this community, I never would have developed myself to be qualified for this position. Thanks to all of you who have contributed to me since I joined this group in 2005. If you have any questions or would like to help, feel free to drop me an e-mail. And if you have any friends in the press, especially in California, please feel free to forward them this e-mail and refer them to me for questions.

[videoblogging] VideoCamp SF
Hello everyone I just wanted to take a sec to plug VideoCamp SF (http://videocampsf.com), an event Schlomo Rabinowitz and I are producing here in San Francisco on October 16-17. Schlomo and I have designed this event to expand our community through training and development, and to also give everyone many diffrerent ways to participate. We've also tapped our community for instructors and speakers like Brook Hinton, Blll Streeter, Deirdré Straughan and Adam Quirk, so we're clear that we're giving some great training from seasoned experts. Here's a short description from the site: VideoCamp SF is a "hyperlocal" event to be held on the 16th and 17th of October. By bringing seasoned web video creators together with people who are seasoned in "something else", we intend to train and develop various communities and individuals in utilizing the "Best Practices in Online Video" to help them excel in whatever "something else" they are up to. From understanding how to document the world, to how to get their Big Idea onto the web, VideoCampSF will help participants focus and achieve their online video goals. VideoCamp SF is comprised of three elements: - The *Best Practices in Online Video* classroom-track sessions (Newbie, Artist and Advocate Tracks) - The *Day 2 Practicum* - The *VideoCamp SF Moonlight Session* If anyone would like more information, please reply here or mail me directly.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: What Randy mann Said in the Videoconference last night.
The holy grail for documentarians is an Oscar nomination or nomination for another award. Many of these awards require that the film only be seen on theatres in order to be nominated. As a result, the culture of documentary film-making will be geared towards traditional theatre presentation until the rules for awards begin to change. I personally feel that this is suppressing the art of documentary film, and hope that the motion picture academy and other orgs will relax these requirements in order to give documentarians more opportunity to distribute and make money from their work.

I'm surprised we're over a week out and people haven't brought back their takes to the list, but Lauren G. just put up a blog post with her take: http://laurengalanter.com/2009/06/30/open-video-round-up/ What did the other attendees think about the Conference, and what is there to tell people beyond the tag and OGG Theora?

Re: [videoblogging] iMovie 08/09 VS iMovie HD 06?
I still use iMovie '06 unless I need the bells and whistles of FCP. It's a great introduction to video editing, and I believe it inspires people towards more advanced video editing software. Apple's moves with iMovie have always puzzled me. You'd think they would want to guide more users to the revenue-generating FCP/FCE, and iMovie '06 is a great gateway to FCP/FCE. The two versions of iMovie that have come out since are not, and there's no logical and similar "next thing" for the advanced editor wanting to learn do more. And, as I said at OVC inspring entry-level video editing software is the only way to create sustainable demand for open video and codec/file format convergence.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Windows Movie Maker---New Version
And for talented and seemingly inspired people like you and Susan, that's great. My hopes for future releases of entry-level video editing software is that it inspires people to see the possibility to do better and to explore ways and means to become a better media creator. I'm not quite sure that Windows Media Maker does that.

Re: [videoblogging] Windows Movie Maker---New Version
This is really hopeful, and I hope they exceed my rock-bottom expectations. The lack of an acceptable entry-level free video editor for Windows has not only made YouTube an eyesore, but is a serious barrier to media democracy.

[videoblogging] Artists and Healthcare
This morning, I tweeted a link to a Diary from the Daily Kos ( http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/5/25/735194/-R.I.P.-Jay-Bennett ) about the death of Jay Bennett, known for his collaborations with Wilco and the subsequent lawsuit he was filing. Here's an interesting quote from the diary: "However, with this morning's news, we now know what drove Bennett to sue a former friend and bandmate: the threat of overwhelming medical bills. Like many artists and countless others who do not pursue traditional forms of employment, Bennett lacked health insurance. At the time of his death, Bennett was suffering from severe pain, and though he desperately needed hip replacement surgery, he was concerned that seeking help would send him spiraling into crippling debt. Despite the claims of health care industry apologists, many people like Bennett are beyond assistance. Struggling to secure a steady source of income early on, musicians are often forced to choose between their vocation and health insurance when they're young, and by the time they get old, they typically find themselves ineligible to receive coverage under any plan whatsoever. Stories like this underline the desperate need for health reform that, at the very least, includes a public option. The United States needs artists and innovators who work outside the confines of the corporate safety net, and we should not be forcing them to choose between their health and the art that enriches all of our lives." Pause for thought, and when a videoblogger I know tweeted that s/he didn't have health insurance, I thought about how many people I know on this list, including myself, who don't have coverage at the moment. I don't want to get into political discussion about healthcare, but I was wondering if anyone out there knows if there's a way under the current system for people like us to bundle together and get lower rates on health insurance, or if there's any truly good, truly economical policy that freelancers/artists can buy? There's plenty of other places to discuss policy, but I just wanted to throw this out there in case there was a way a bunch of vloggers got together to get covered.

We keep repeating that content is king, but we're beyond that now. There is good content out there, and we need to learn how to get the word out beyond early adopters and the 13-25 year-old market. The biggest failure of Web 2.0, for lack of a better term, is that people are too satisfied about the technology itself and are doing a crappy job at opening the possibility of these technologies to new audiences. This is a long subject, but I notice a strong, erroneous disbelief in marketing amongst the code-writing community coupled with a strong, erroneous belief that the technology speaks for and will sell itself. There are a set of practices amongst software/technology markerters in Silicon Valley in elsewhere that works well for business-to-business markets and tech-savvy early adopters, but does not play well in Peoria.

Re: [videoblogging] Internet-Ready TV's from Major Brands Coming
And like Social Media, YouTube, videoblogging, twitter, and other trends, it will take 3 years to become mainstream. Year 1: Discovery by early-adopters Year 2: Corporate Discovery and creation of budget for projects in... Year 3: Where everything goes mainstream. I keep talking about this three year trend to people, saying that we have to move fast if we want to change the media. Look at how things changed for videoblogging alone between 2004 and 2007, or even from 2006 to now? This is not a dress rehearsal. We can't just sit and talk about changing the state of media, we must take action. The corporate momentum and infrastructure/warchest for communication has and will drown out our conversations, no matter how many positive benefits our ideas will bring to the world.

[videoblogging] Great piece on Gawker: The End of Television as We Know It
http://gawker.com/5265239/the-end-of-television-as-we-know-it , but here's the good stuff: You see, with the internet, yes *the internet*, creators of serialized content can circumvent "the system" and produce their shows independently, in much the same way that filmmakers began began circumventing the studio system to develop films a few years back-They raise money on their own, shoot the film they want to shoot, and then turn around and showcase at film festivals where, if the moon and the stars align just right, they're able to sell their film and it goes on to become a huge success. This model birthed some of the more smart, intelligent and important films of the modern era, shot from scripts that may have never seen the light of day otherwise in the traditional system, because they were "too edgy" or some horseshit like that. The problem, for years, with doing this with television was that content creators didn't have a way to showcase their product, they couldn't take it into a screening room and expect prospective buyers of content to sit there and spend hours watching a full season of television to see if it was worth a shit or not, but with the internet they now do. More and more Americans are watching more and more video online for longer and longer periods of time, so it stands to reason that sooner or later, someone is going to raise their own money, shoot their own full length show (half hour to an hour long) without network interference, put it on the internet, and it will become a cultural phenomenon, something that people, average people and not just early adapters, talk about around the proverbial water cooler at work. In fact, it's probably on the verge of happening right now. And then a network will swoop in and buy the show to bring it to those still not watching television on the internet, and other shows will be developed online and other networks will swoop in and buy them too, but eventually everyone will watch episodic shows online and there won't be a need for the traditional networks any longer. Hell, right now, Microsoft and Apple are both developing programs that will capture all of the video you want to watch by recording it live as it goes up onto the web and saving it for the user to view later, just like a DVR or TiVo, except for your computer and handheld electronic devices. These sort of software programs currently being developed aggregate video content from all over the web so the user can watch everything in one place instead of surfing around from site to site to watch the things they want to watch. In other words, the need for television networks to develop and air shows will evaporate. They'll still be there, it's a stretch to say they'll die off altogether, but they will never be the same. And we'll all be better off for that. [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: The continuing story of Ogg/Theora, the open source codec
This is all very, very good, but there need to be a 'marketing' strategy and tactical plan to go along with the development strategy, or else I fear for the result. Word of mouth isn't good enough.

[videoblogging] Sony Pictures CEO: "I'm A Guy Who Doesn't See Anything Good Having Come From The Internet. Period."
See the infuriating link: http://www.wwd.com/media-news/fashion-memopad/memo-pad-uniqlo-nabs-deyn-bad-internet-classic-martha-2136751?src=rss/recentstories/20090515#/article/media-news/fashion-memopad/memo-pad-uniqlo-nabs-deyn-bad-internet-classic-martha-2136751?page=2 The media companies will not move forward until they stop blaming 14 year-olds from Muskogee downloading Lady Gaga songs for their broken model and start admitting the part they have played in this mess: 1. They have devalued their product. 2. They treat artists like utter crap, and the dirty little secret is the artists aren't usually the ones losing money here. 3. They are too busy blaming their own consumers instead of using that energy to create new profit models and innovate. Media is democratizing and flattening, and just like they would have a "too bad, so sad" attitude towards a competitor that wasn't keeping up with the times, I feel the same. All media companies have been horrible at accepting the following realities: 1. The price point for consumable media is now free. Art may very well be what you can get away with, as Warhol says, but Sony and others fail to realize that they are now getting away with less. They need to quit blaming consumers for their not seeing enough value in formulaic schlock to pay for it. 2. An army of independents are creating on the web, and many are making brilliant, quality, valuable media. Media companies have virtually ignored them. This is too bad, because the costs of talent and content acquisition could be MAJORLY cut here. 3. There is a collapse in the greased palms system when it comes to the financing and production of media. There is less need for middlemen than ever, and an industry filled with hangers-on are having their livelihoods threatened. Everyone is just plain scared, and these people tend to feel a little bit better than everyone else, so attacking that kiddo in Muskogee is completely logical to them. -- Jeffrey Taylor 912 Cole St, #349 San Francisco, CA 94117 USA Mobile: +14157281264 Fax: +33177722734 http://twitter.com/jeffreytaylor http://organicconversations.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
Thanks, Jim. I totally appreciate what you're saying, and thank you for taking what I had to say in the spirit it was given. There is a market for a well-done web video event that listens and serves the many openly-stated needs out there, but I think any association with Vloggercon wouldn't serve any party involved. Starting fresh and creating your own context is what I see as the most prudent course of action here. I think there's more infrastructure to build on from your end than Vloggercon's, as the web video space has become an entirely different animal with many new players since the last Vloggercon event. If there's anything you would like to talk to the organizers about, shoot me a mail directly and I will be happy to connect you.

Re: [videoblogging] Blog World Expo and New Media Conference [ Vloggercon 2009? ]
Hi. The first thing to say is how wonderful I think Steve Garfield and his commitment to community is. He is such an asset to anyone who knows him and any community that he is a part of. I don't know him too well, but he is clearly one of the most valuable connectors around, and is a model for anyone interested in creating community on the web. Funny this should all come up...we've just finalized this year's Vlog Europe being in Paris and Clermont-Ferrand, France this year yesterday. We'll have dates and other things later, and you'll find more communications coming from Raymond and Loiez than me, as I'm stepping back a bit and letting the Europeans run their own European event now that I'm in San Francisco. With Vlog Europe, we have/had the added benefit of very easy accessibility to different cultures and different cities every year. And we've also been SUPER lucky to have faithful sponsors that get that we're not trying to be a major for-profit event like Le Web, New Media Expo or Jeff Pulver's events. In the end, though, I think the event has survived because there's a core committed group that really wants this to happen every year and this really frames the event and that the event has never completely lost momentum. Vlog Europe (and in my opinion, Vloggercon too) has avoided the temptations of being part of the larger tech conference/event circuit and being a for-profit conference. Once someone starts making money out of the deal, everything changes and, rightly or wrongly, there's some discomfort with that and things tend to fall apart. While the ethos of that era is highly influential to me and to many of you, I think any attempt to force the same outcomes we had back then would result in disappointment and possibly disaster. We've all narrowed our foci and changed, and I think this comes out of a realization that we are just one community in a larger, non-linear web video community that has developed. Because of this, people who would have organized Vloggercon years ago are knee-deep in other projects, and organizing a conference of the size and scope that Vloggercon covered would be a massive project. Presented with the choice of Vloggercon or teaching people to videoblog, starting advocacy projects like the Open Video Alliance and the artist/documentarian org I am working to create and others, many of us are choosing the latter. In short, I think many in the community that made up the two Vloggercons are more interested in using their influence and tenure in this community to drive change instead of organizing a conference with more of a general purpose than a conference with a specific purpose. To be perfectly honest, I personally have discomfort with any for-profit entity taking over the Vloggercon name and what those two events represent. This is not up to me. But knowing the people that organized Vloggercon, I am willing to bet the farm that they agree and that it is unlikely that those who own the rights to the name will allow anyone to take it over. The videoblogging culture that existed 2004-2006 has evolved and subgroups and completely disassociated communites of vloggers have formed, and there's no going back. The idea of bringing back how things felt back then is tantalizing, but I am afraid that that's impossible at this point. I used to feel like many of you disappointed that Vloggercon hasn't happened again. But seeing how things developed, I consider the Vloggercon experience to be whole, complete and appropriate for its time. That's not to say that another larger videoblogging event shouldn't happen and that I wouldn't attend, as there's so many people who weren't around when Vloggercon was happening and there's many perfectly great folks with commercial interests that could benefit from having facetime with other vloggers. I personally just don't think that event should be called Vloggercon. Just my two cents. Jeffrey 2009/5/14 Rupert > > > I'm not sure it's a question of nobody wanting to run it.

Re: [videoblogging] The Streamy Awards - The Hollywood Monster?
The Streamys were far from perfect, but there were as many steps in the right direction as there were in the same or wrong direction.

[videoblogging] A call for Art Vlogs and Art Vloggers
Happy Monday, everyone As I'm planning this nonprofit for online video art, I'm compiling the most exhaustive list possible of "art vlogs". If any of you could reply with links of video that you consider "arty", "difficult to fund do to the nature of the programming" or "great vlog, but not targeted to a large audience", I would be most grateful. Thanks heaps. J P.S. Ping me if you have any questions about the org, or would like to participate in the planning process. -- Jeffrey Taylor 912 Cole St, #349 San Francisco, CA 94117 USA Mobile: +14157281264 Fax: +33177722734 http://twitter.com/jeffreytaylor http://organicconversations.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

[videoblogging] How do you screen?
Since moving into a new space, I need to put together a good setup for screening videoblogs. So before I venture forth, I'd like to hear some answers to the following questions: 1. What player/aggregator do you use? 2. Do you watch on your computer, or connect to the TV? 3. What else do you do to enhance your screening environment? Videos showing setups most welcome! Thanks in advance.

Re: [videoblogging] Meet the elite!
Big pet peeve of mine when US orgs call themselves international in word, but not in deed. I'm willing to help in any way I can, and have lots of ex-US contacts, so anyone "in charge" please feel free to ping me. I understand that there's reps from international companies, but a big missing I see here is the independent creators from outside the US. They need empowering, too! In any case, I'm glad this is coming up. Commercial online video producers need legitimacy, best practice and labor standards in the face of traditional corporate hegemony. Traditional media execs needs to know that online "shows" are not cat pissing in toilet vids on YouTube. The community needs to develop guidelines, not a set of rules, that can help emerging talent create their own wins. And most importantly, commercial online video producers need to ensure that they're not relegated to being "cheap labor" just because they can do everything studios can with fewer people and less overhead. Cheaper is fine, exploitive is not. For these reasons, I really hope that the iawtv is a success. I think the thing we all need to realize now is that the medium is developing to the point that different genres are solidifying in online video content. This is a wonderful thing, and we need to ensure that we put the cheering on of people following their bliss at the forefront and put our "I don't like this" and our "I wouldn't do it that way" types of statements on the backburner. 2009/3/9 Rupert > Here's the kind of post that would have induced a feeding frenzy back > in the good old bad old days here on the group.

Hi Jay and all It did indeed work and your comments are on the doc. I'll incorporate your feedback into the doc as part of a major weekly overhaul I will be doing today. This really isn't a time to be shy, so please take a look at the doc if you are interested in video art and video artists doing better and getting the financial resources, attention and recognition that they deserve. Either the interest in legitimizing this medium is there or it isn't, and this doc has been put up to gauge that interest.

Re: [videoblogging] 246 messages in February
My take on the "why", in addition to what Rupert already said: 1. We're dispersing as our interests go into different directions, and the community seems loathe to create traditions and constants. With the exception of Vlog Europe, which is small, events like Vloggercon, Pixelodeon, the Vloggies/Winnies have lasted two years at the most. I see many things going local, with well-developed "crowds" developing in LA, SF, NY, DC, London, Amsterdam and Clermont-Ferrand, France, among others. I think there's a lot of good in all this online conversation fostering real-life activity, but the global aspect of this conversation suffers as a result. 2. YouTube and the lack of integration of YouTube's users into this list (for good or ill). 3. The door is cracked for people to take a stand for certain principles in this medium, but it certainly isn't as open as it was 3-5 years ago. I give tough love, not a scolding, when I say we all could do a better job organizing to stand up for what we believe in this space and providing opportunity for producers and artists that we believe in, and that perhaps some of these convictions are just not important enough to enough people. 4. The surge of this list was concurrent with the Web 2.0 surge, and teh economy has taken it's toll on both. I think there's many, many of us doing our best to make ends meet in this environment. 2009/3/5 Rupert > I've just looked at the number of messages being produced by the group. > Last month - 246 - was the lowest number of messages since the first > month of the group in June 2004. > Conversation peaked a year later in June 2005 with 2974 messages (100 > per day). > Yet you'd imagine that there are more people posting web video than > ever before - on Facebook and YouTube mostly. > > I'm less interested in what this means for the group - we're still > producing 8 or 9 messages a day, and people are using Twitter too - > and more in what this says about web video and how people perceive it. > > Is it so commonplace now that it's not worth talking about or getting > excited about in a formal setting like a group?

Re: [videoblogging] tripod advice
The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of a low price. Don't go cheap, a tripod will be a good investment and will last. The cost will be offset by the longevity.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Traditional Media Scares the Shi* out of me As I Type
They don't have an obligation to independents at all, but they're being massively stupid for missing out on opportunites to take on serialized content that has establushed communities that are alpha-recommending products and services left and right. Networks miss out, content creators miss out, time is wasted, common sense goes by the wayside. Both sides are hurting in their own ways with inprecedented losses and/or difficulty finding revanue. Frustrating to the max, considering it doesn't have to be like this. Being compared to cat pissing on toilet videomakers is ego-related, but it certainly doesn't help the situation to be seen by so-called "tastemakers" this way. So yeah, they don't owe us anything, but it doesn't make the siutation any less absurd. A guy from the Annenberg/USC presented here yesterday, and says the way hi surveys are going, it seems that people will save TV for large events like the opening ceremony of the Olympics and other things that people want to see in full view, everything else is fair game to be mobilized and will be increasigly viewed that way.

Sidenote on the Beeb: French & Saunders had their last performance a few nights ago.

No no no no no. No. Nobody makes money on this shit except google. Vloggers will make peanuts, and traditional clients aren't up to spending money on such a risky spend.

[videoblogging] Mobuzz.tv in trouble - You can help save European-made independent media
Hi everyone. Many of you know my stand on independent media in the EU. In an environment in which every nook and cranny of the media is dominated by Americans, Mobuzz' daily programming by 3 hosts in 3 languages leaves a crack in the door and an example for Europeans to follow. Unfortunately, Mobuzz.tv is in trouble. As I'm sure you've been reading, the Venture Capitalists' cupboards are increasingly bare, sponsors are flying back to traditional media and just yesterday the news came out that online ad rates have gone down 11% in the past quarter. It's tough out there. The good news is that Mobuzz has secured funding to weather the storm, but do not have the cash to operate for the three months it will take to get that money n the bank. They have asked their viewers, and I am asking the videoblogging community, to give 5/US$7, a VERY small amount, to help keep them afloat for the next three months. They need a total of 120,000 to do this and keep their staff employed, but they promise to return your cash if they don't make their goal. The crew and cast of Mobuzz explain it all in English, Spanish and French here: www.mobuzz.tv/SaveMobuzz.php The thing I admire most about the people on this list is their strong stand for people to make their own media and to share their voice. It's time to put a beer's worth of money where your mouth is. Europe needs you.

Re: [videoblogging] Revision 3 cuts back on shows including Epic Fu
It's not personal, but anybody that drops lucrative demographic audiences Epic Fu's and shows with high publicity value like Wine Library TV needs to have both their head and their strategy examined. I haven't fully flushed this out in my brain, but I just wonder if the media buyers (on the client and agency side) are thinking that traditional media buys is some sort of "flight to quality" in the same sense that investors are doing a "flight to quality" with more traditional meat-and-potatoes stocks and commodities like gold. I'd like to hear what everyone else has to think about this (my instinct is that media buyers need the direct relationships and alpha consumer recommendations that are part and parcel of online video now more than ever), and I'll come back with more developed thoughts later. 2008/10/27 Heath <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Just saw this now, probably a bit of old news for some, but sad > nonethelessSteve and Zadi are great people and I am sure this is a > kick in the gut in many ways... > > http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/27/revision3-cuts-back-on-shows-and- > staff/ > > Hopfully Steve and Zadi knew about this before hand and were making > some deals.. > > Heath > http://batmangeek.com > > > -- Jeffrey Taylor Mobile: +33625497654 Fax: +33177722734 Skype: thejeffreytaylor Googlechat/Jabber: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://twitter.com/jeffreytaylor [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

[videoblogging] 1st "Vlog Global" Videoconference
Hi everyone Vlog Europe just sent out invites for 25 Vloggers to join the 1st ever Vlog Global Videoconference/Flashmeeting. We could only do 25 due to Flashmeeting's limits, but we will be streaming to a site equipped with chat. There was no criteria for the supertough task of selecting the 25 vloggers on the Flashmeeting beyond diversity. No elitism, no favorites, just diversity. We have encouraged invitees to have people in their town all join together to share one of the 25 slots if possible. Text of the e-mail we sent to the invitees is below, which has info on time, content, etc. We'll send links for hte stream as soon as we have them, and hope as many people as possible can participate and watch. Cheers, Jeffrey and the Vlog Europeans = Hi. You are one of 25 vloggers throughout the globe invited to participate the 1st ever "Vlog Global" teleconference. We'd love for you to be there, and we hope you all can make this work so we can make it an annual *no-frills, no-cost, no bullshit Videoblogging Event*. *When: Saturday 18 October @ 9 AM Los Angeles, Noon in New York, 5 PM in London, 6 PM in Budapest, Midnight Sunday in Shanghai and 2 AM Sunday in Sydney* The Flashmeeting will be for 2.5 hours, 3 hours maximum. *Why*: The organizers of Vlog Europe are putting this together in order to *stand up for the Vlogging Sensibility* and *keep up the momentum of the Videoblogging community* worldwide. With no Vloggercamp, Vloggercon, etc. happening this year, we want to ensure that we are all keeping up with each other and are aware of what we are up to and what we all stand for. *Who:* The organizers of Vlog Europe are inviting *25 videobloggers from every corner of the earth* to participate in this call. We wish we could invite more, but Flashmeeting can only take 25 participants. *We will be streaming* the Flashmeeting to a streaming video site that has chat capability in order to ensure as many people can be in on the action as possible. * What*: *Each participant has the floor for two minutes to say or do whatever she or he wants. *If we have time for discussion, we'll do it, but Vlog Europe will moderate the slots and ensure everyone gets a chance to say whatever it is they want to say. No restrictions. We just want to see you or whatever of you you want us to see. Tell us what you're up to. Feed a video that you are proud of into the Flashmeeting. Whatever. It's your two minutes. *Where:* We will send you a link to the flashmeeting when you confirm your participation. *What You Need to Do:* 1. *RSVP by replying to this e-mail. *Please do this as soon as you can so we can give your slot to someone else if you cannot attend. October 15 is the deadline, but we'd really appreciate it if you'd let us know ASAP. 2. *Invite Vloggers in your town to share your slot. *We'd love to have as many people as possible in the flashmeeting itself, and it's always fun to hand with other vloggers. And that's it! We really really really hope you can attend. Really. Cheers, The Vlog Europeans [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!

[videoblogging] Making Vlog Europe 2008 Vlog GLobal
Well, we've run into a problem...a good sort of problem. I was worried that events were not getting off the ground for vloggers for the boring old "can't be arsed to do it" reasons, but I think the truth of the matter is far more encouraging: People are just damn busy doing great things, and or/are sacrificing income for the sake of their projects for various reasons. With the above in mind, I'm working with a few people to find a way to *make a small portion of Vlog Europe Vlog Global* via Flashmeeting or some other means that can have the most people participate simultaneously. Just because we are all busily trying to make things work does not mean we can't come together and talk about what we're up to, what we sand for and what we're hoping and planning. Details are sketchy at the moment, but I am certain that we'll be doing whatever we do for a couple of hours on Saturday 18 October. Look for more information laterperhaps later today (Monday).

[videoblogging] Vlog Europe - Call For Participants - October 18-19 in Budapest
Hi everyone - We're a little under one month out from the 4th Vlog Europe in Budapest on October 18-19, and I'm sending this note out to let you know we'd love for you to come. And if you know of anyone who would be interested in coming, please forward this mail or have them contact me for details. We'd be especially grateful if anyone has any contacts in Hungary. This year, we've rented out the entire Loft Hostel in Budapest ( http://lofthostel.hu), and *the stay will be free *for up to 18 people. We have several who have opted to stay off-site, so there are several slots available in the hostel and things can be kept quite cheap and cheerful for those who need to do so. Instead of formal sessions this year, we've decided to have a two-day free flow "Vlog-In" in which the participants create the flow and content of the weekend moment by moment. The hostel has large common spaces including a large-screen television for screenings, making this the perfect environment for this style of meetup. Every year has been heaps of fun, and we're always looking to grow and diversify. Drop me ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) an e-mail if you have any questions, and consult http://vloguerope.com for the latest news. We look forward to seeing you there.

[videoblogging] Fwd: [vlogeurope] VlogEurope 2008 practical info
Just to keep the list updated on Vlog Europe. Please contact me or Raymond if you have any questions, and sign on the Wiki if you can come! Cheers, Jeffrey -- Forwarded message -- From: Raymond M. Kristiansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 2008/9/2 Subject: [vlogeurope] VlogEurope 2008 practical info To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hello all, Here is some practical information for VlogEurope 2008 which takes place in Budapest, October 18th-19th 2008. == What is VlogEurope? == VlogEurope is a yearly meeting of videobloggers and vlog-interested from Europe and beyond. It took place first time in September 2005 in Amsterdam, and has since taken place twice - in 2006 (Milan) and 2007 (Heidelberg). This year, VlogEurope takes to Hungary and Budapest which is a dynamic central European city. As in earlier years, a central part of VlogEurope is to explore the city/area around it, and we got a few surprises for participants up the sleeve :) == Participation Fee== Thanks to generous sponsorships, VlogEurope is a free event to attend. == Transportation == As we have earlier discussed on this mailinglist, an idea this year is to book a bus to travel from France towards Hungary. This, however, turned out to be far too expensive so we are currently thinking of renting a few vans/larger cars. These vans (2 or 3?) would then departure from different destinations and make it towards Budapest, and back. Loiez Deniel has more information about this, but a suggestion put forward is to have one van driving from Amsterdam, and another from Lyon. Comments? == Accommodation == We have found a loft apartment in Budapest that has 18 beds divided into three rooms. This will be the VlogEurope HQ during this weekend Here you can read more about the space: http://www.lofthostel.hu/ We have reserved the 18 beds for the night of October 17th and 18th. This means that we check in on friday 17th and check out again on Sunday 19th. The cost of these 18 beds is covered with a surplus from VlogEurope budget last year, thanks to the sponsors BlogTV, Xacti, Blip.tv and TechSmith. This means that in addition to there being no participation fee for VlogEurope, we can maybe give you free accommodation as well! :) Q: Who will be assigned these 18 beds? A: It is a mixture of first come - first served and a priority being given to students or others of low income. If you already signed up at the wiki ( http://vlogeurope.com/wiki/index.php?title=2008_Participants ) - great :) Q: How do I actually sign up? A: Send an e-mail to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Q: What if I want to arrive earlier and/or stay later at this same place? A: Please send an email to Katie at [EMAIL PROTECTED] saying you are part of VlogEurope, and would like an extended stay. The max cost (4-bed dorm) is 4500 Hungarian Forints which equals about 19. You can see the prices here: http://www.lofthostel.hu/booking.html . Note: You will pay for your additional nights while in Budapest - everything at LoftHouse is done in cash. Also please make sure that you list your arrival and departure days here: http://vlogeurope.com/wiki/index.php?title=2008_Participants VlogEurope 2008 is approaching fast!

He's walking the fine line, imo. He was exhibiting extreme behaviour in order to elicit a violent response. In many jurisdiction, what he did would be seen as sexual assault. But I think even this response it too violent. 2008/8/7 Rupert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I don't know.

Well. Kathy Sierra's stalkertrolls called it "art".

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Video Goes Underground
With you and not with you on this one Rupert. We have not as a community engaged the artistic "powers that be" nearly as much as we have commerical interests. If we had, Wreck and Salvage would have a gig at MOMA similar to Rocketboom getting its gig at Sony. Many of what you state is sound about how videobloggers are viewed, but I cannot see people on this list or in my sphere of contacts relentlessly pursuing multiple outlets with the same relentlessness. There have been more failed attempts with corporations amongst the people on the list than there has been in the field of fine art. There has been small victories, though. List-members Loiez Deniel and Gabriel Soucheyre's Videoformes festival embraces online video, and I hope they will bring in more when I return to see it next year. I don't see me calling this a "fail" as a finger-wagging naughty children sort of thing. Where I'm coming from is more of a call to articulate ourselves better and to seek out new contacts. Perhaps I should have said this has been a fail...so far. And yes, the status quo in the art world sucks as much as things suck in the commercial world, but that's partly why we need to invade. And I wager that the artists change faster than the corporations will. 2008/8/6 Rupert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > I totally don't agree with this part of your argument, Jeffrey. > > I don't think that most of those "Galleries, museums, educational > institutions, foundations, event planning > organisations, collectives and others" have been ready, willing or > able to come "into the fold". > > I totally agree that "there people online works make video art I've > > seen in public art exhibitions with massive funding look like an > episode of > Sesame Street." - most video art in big galleries in London looks > tired and old and shit when compared to the best video art that's > going on in and around this community. > > But again and again when I've shown examples of great work by other > people to people in the art world, their reaction is the same as the > reaction of people in the commercial & TV world.

[videoblogging] Why be so coy about Information dystopia?
The torrent is attached. All this hemming and hawing about John's video without public sharing of the link is a lame attempt to avoid the inevitable. Let's get it overwith. I'm sure it isn't going to be pretty, but it seems we can't handle pretty. So let the downloading begin. And your ire, if there is any, is lost on me.
