Looks great. Only if it was possible to have the Flash player have a button for full screen viewing and support for H.264. Thanks Jay! -- Sincerely, Renat Zarbailov of Innomind.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Re:pocket sized projectors, the future of impromptu video blog screenin
I was considering this Boxlight Bumblebee $700 super light weight projectorhttp://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,1759,2100966,00.aspfor my mobile traveling Silent Screamerhttp://innomind.org/index.php?option=com_contenttask=viewid=67Itemid=30quad-core video-editing workstation embedded into a carry on luggage. Kind of makes sense to get a projector of this type than lugging around a 20 plus LCD. What held the urge, aside from lack of fund to get it :), is the lack of lumens. I hope NyTimes's prediction (projection?) comes true in regards to $300-350 lightweight projectors. It would be nice carrying an Asus EEE with a pocket projector, like a Samsung one (forgot the model), and project beautiful moving pictures onto walls anywhere one happens to be. Reminds me of the Star Wars where one of the main characters throws this little ball that starts projecting holographic videos. Skype anyone? -- Sincerely, Renat Zarbailov of Innomind.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] He passed away on March 27
I interviewed this man one night when I was returning home from a friend of mine when I noticed this old man sitting on the stairs of a building, I made a comment that it isn't very healthy to sit on the cold stone, and the conversation turned into a short spontaneous film. Here is the interviewhttp://link.brightcove.com/services/link/bcpid935220722/bclid932508388/bctid604271218 May he rest in peace... -- Sincerely, Renat Zarbailov of Innomind.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
[videoblogging] Re:Good Article on Wireless Mics from BH
I read the article and went to research further on reliability of lavalier mikes. According to a comment of a customer on BH site (under one of the Sennheiser mike's in $599 category), all wireless mikes, even the most expensive one costing around $3,000 will have drop-outs of signal when used on the streets of busy cities like NYC and such. So then I thought to myself, what would be the most reliable approach to capture high quality audio when it comes to interviewing people on the streets? The idea popped quickly. Use a Samson Zoom H2 connected to Electrovoice unidirectional mike. Although H2 itself has multiple condenser mikes inside (even surround sound), none of them are unidirectional. So with this set up there's more work in post to sync the H2's audio with on-camera mike, but you get crystal-clear reliable audio without any RF interference or drop-outs. I haven't yet tested this work flow but I think this hits home. -- Sincerely, Renat Zarbailov of Innomind.org [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
