Re: [videoblogging] Re: Major Shakeup in Hollywood
Hi Brook! I think we do ourselves a huge disservice by not comparing and contrasting to MSM. In five to ten years, maybe less, all media will be consumed on demand and from a single portal. A viewer will not know the difference between MSM and independent creators. If, as independent creators who are passionate about creating media without a gatekeeper that speaks to our own particular voices, we are not careful to establish ourselves as separate from MSM and with our own unique attributes we may soon find ourselves launching our media into a viewerless void.

Re: [videoblogging] unexpected benefit of posting to blip
hey gerry all the videos have already been posted- in some cases for months - with the same tags and descriptions (and obviously the same subject matter), and have had an rss feed since september. I began posting on blip last friday and the google alerts followed soon after, and of course, they link to the blip file, so that is how I can be quite sure that the alerts are a result of posting to blip.

Re: [videoblogging] video gallery wordpress plugin?
I ran into this problem with synchronis.tv as well... I needed to use wordpress for financial reasons and loved how easy it was to upload my episodes and to alter my code and widgets- even for someone with almost no coding experience. However we produce live scripted web dramas and the journal format felt too casual for the viewing experience I was looking to create. I ultimately used podpress, which I am definitevely not in love with for video. Wordpress is an amazing tool, but more video centric themes would be a huge boost to its functionality, especially as video on the web grows more and more diverse. synchronis.tv's inaugural series "35" is available on itunes.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Feeling vindictive...
As an actor and web producer I must chime in here I am passionate about and committed to my work as both an actor and a new media producer, and as such would never allow anyone on my set whom I didn't either know personally or for whom I have not sought out a dependable reference, no matter how "captivating" their qualities.. If you hire actors based on qualities that you find "captivating" rather than on creativity, professionalism, passion and talent you send a message to your staff and crew and audience that the creative arena you choose to work in is defined by "captivating" personalities, rather than true work ethic and vision. (how can you expect any better from an actor who is sent the message over and over again that their value lies in their "captivating" qualities, rather than in what they can bring to the table creatively and intellectually?) Now the amazing Jan has a ton more experience than I on big sets and I'm sure she has seen some outrageous and unacceptable behavior... but I was lucky enough to have Jan on my set as well and I am pretty sure she would agree that throughout a grueling, 10 day, non-paid shoot (not to mention numerous days of rehearsals) every actor was on time, professional, respectful, dependable, and creatively engaged... without exception. Open your eyes guys!!! Look past the "captivating" qualities out there. There are a bevy of committed, talented, passionate actors who would be amazing assets to the projects that you put so much of your heart and soul into..but to find them you might have to sacrifice a few "qualities".

Re: [videoblogging] preroll time?
HI Jim, Believe it or not research has shown that the most effective pre-roll add is the thirty second pre-roll, http://tinyurl.com/289a95 However research has also show that uses skip videos with pre-rolls, http:// tinyurl.com/24hay9 I used a ten-second pre-roll against my best judgement (client insisted upon it), but my advice to you if you must insert a pre-roll is to keep it as short as possible and hope its over before the user has a chance to click away and then follow up with companion links or a really great mid or post-roll, or even better, convince the client to let you incorporate their product directly into the content. kathryn http://www.synchronis.tv On Feb 7, 2008, at 1:35 PM, Jim Kukral wrote: > Does anyone know what the standard time is for a preroll ad?

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Apple TV vs. iPod/iPhone Recommendations?
revisiting the great apple tv debate once more.. I have spend the past few days experimenting with recompressing my "35" files- tricky because they are large files with a lot of movement and not a ton of light (I know! I know! lets not go there!)... what seems to work best for me is compressing a high quality .mov , importing into itunes and then recompressing again via the advanced tab (thats also the best way for me to include my higher quality thumbnails) but... itunes provides me with two options, a larger "convert for apple tv" file, a smaller "convert for ipod" file if I compress all my files to the larger apple tv specs... are they viewable on an ipod?

[videoblogging] blip questions
hey all! building a new blip player for my site... because my show is narrative I have always configured the player to play in reverse chronological order, and specified via tags only the episodes, not the post show chats, but I can't find that functionality now... am I looking in the wrong place or has blip canned those? also.. any word on whether blip is thinking about the live space at all? In talks about a possible live show I would love to do it on blip any one know if this is going to be a possibility in the near future? thanks all...

Re: [videoblogging] Live internet video questions and thoughts
Steve! I am working on graphics for a live show I am launching on the 21st of this month as we speak- "The Jabbo and Crabbo Show- the artist's (and otherwise cool person's) guide to creativity and technology on the web" . while I did a far more sophisticated live broadcast last september using three cameras mixed in real time with a tricaster pro, a crew of 12 and cast of 8, this is a much much smaller affair, just me, my husband our webcam (or perhaps a consumer canon) and camtwist... I can't tell you of my experiences with camtwist yet but I am planning on stretching it to the max, with pip, videos, slides, slugs inbetween segments, music and more and am expecting at least 15 setups for our 45 min show which we will be mixing live as we broadcast...working really hard here to bring the best community experience possible to our audience... cuz you know...for many of the reasons you mention below.. I LOVE LIVE, think there is great potential, but also think live requires at least as much prep as taped. eager to hear your ideas about what you want to do live best, Kathryn http://www.synchronis.tv On Apr 11, 2008, at 1:57 PM, Steve Watkins wrote: > This group doesnt seem like quite the right place to talk about live > video, can anybody recommend active communities that talk about and do > such things? > > Im still a bit disappointed by the video & audio quality of some of > the live stuff Ive watched, even if its not via mobile phone, any > thoughts on which service is the best in this regard? > > I still love vlogs but I cannot deny there is still a powerful thing > that comes from live video, especially when there is live text chat at > the same time.

[videoblogging] jabbo and crabbo launching tonight
ok guys.. I mentioned last week that I would be launching a new live talk show tonight... now the truth is I'm not so much of a host type of gal, my passion for online video springs from my artistic passions, which lean towards scripted work, however when I was approached about creating a talk show I thought... well, while I am still in development of my next scripted series, what can I create that I am truly passionate about? The answer was easy. I am so inspired by web 2.0 technology and the way it provides even the least technical folk like me access to creativity I personally never could have dreamed of in the past. I'm all about taking all of these tools... even better when they are free because of my limited budget .. and bypassing the casting directors, the film festivals, the investors, the art galleries... and bringing the projects I care about directly to the world, and I would love to teach others about all the tools I have found, and to build a community of artists of all sorts that will support and aid one another in bringing our creative visions to the web. So... that is what The Jabbo and Crabbo Show is about. Also of interest to this group.. I am using camtwist to produce our show, its an amazing free program that turns my living room into a tv studio... I will be talking about it on the show tonight- if you aren't familiar with it I think you are going to be amazed at what it can do. I want this show to belong to the audience. I want to know what the community wants to talk about, I want to teach the community want they want to learn. I want the community to be actively involved in the chat room, and ultimately to come on the show and show their work, their inspirations, their tips.. I hope you'll stop by tonight at 9:15...http://www.synchronis.tv/ the-jabbo-and-crabbo-show/ join in the community... let us know what you want to see... and hey! keeping in mind that I am a producer/actor... NOT a film maker... you can check out our 1 minute promo to learn a little more about the show.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-4CyoLi1KM thanks guys!!! hope to see you tonight! best!

Re: [videoblogging] Re:From Mac *TO* PC -- Should I Switch?
I have to totally disagree with Tony about applecare, especially if you have a laptop. I have had the logic board replaced, the screen replaced, the casing replaced and two batteries replaced (pretty evenly spread between my two years of ownership) and have paid 0 dollars. I have a first generation macbook pro 17" - so its been a little over buggy, but even so, applecare has been more than worth it to me with every laptop I've owned.
