This is exactly how I feel about it.  I want some retroactive payment
for my work from heavy.com.

And Mike Hudack:  any money I get back goes to you blip folks.  Let's

[videoblogging] CALL TO ARMS! was Re:MyHeavy

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I agree with you Mike that Litigation is expensive and difficult, but
honestly, heavy.com can afford to pay for back revenues they have
generated.  That's all I want.

In Web2.0 Land, part of the money-making scheme is having users
populate a site with content to make the site "valuable".  We have
brought value to heavy.com and some sort of compensation should be
asked for.

It's the beginning of the year; perfect time for tipping over large
monuments.  Or rattling cages.  Or just asserting the fact that what I
do has some value to these companies.  YOU BRING VALUE TO MULTIPLE WEB
COMPANIES.  Time to get paid when someone steps up and takes your
value for granted.

And then, with this money, maybe we could have a slush fund to help
others.  (Though I just want to give my part to blip.tv to pay for
hosting for the last year!:)

We are ripe for a beautiful lawsuit.  One that will take these
companies to task and make a new chapter in the Court of Copyright.
This is trail-blazing stuff that can affect online video makers for
the foreseeable future.

I'm serious.  I haven't had coffee yet, and I'm still ready to sue!
(I hope this doesn't make me sound like a Sue-Happy American, I'm not
really like that.  I just think this is important to lock down.)

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggies last year, Youtubeies this year?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

That was really cool!

I agree, these meetups are a big part of the vlogging experience for
me; I've met some very special people and gotten some very strange
experiences from doing this.

The page mentioned a meetup happening next month here in SF.  I may go
and ask them why YouTube as opposed to posting somewhere else..  It
would be interesting to hear their perspective on so many issues that
we discuss here on the list.

Re: [videoblogging] Is Creative Commons just bullshit?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I think it's both.  Right now it feels more like an experiement, but
it could be something grand.

It's almost like all of us work in a big factory and are trying to
start a union.  Maybe we need a Jimmy Hoffa on our side to bust some

Re: [videoblogging] CNET video incubator

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Thanks everyone for the kind words.  It's a grand experiment that I
have been lucky enough to help bring to fruition.  The article pretty
much says where our heads are at... funding videos that have some sort
of story arc (be it fiction or non-fiction).  This includes
documentaries to dadaist nonsense.

Basically, if we believe in it, it has a shot.

That, mixed with creating our first show, Wink (which is made to
highlight and inspire the creation of video), Cnet has been very nice
to work with.  (mainly because I hide out far in the back!  Out of
sight of all them cubicles!!)

This is much different than the Cnet most of you know. No tech videos
in my department-- I live in a city (SF) that makes plenty of them and
do a better job at it than I would ever do.

If anyone has any questions/thoughts on Project Spotlight, feel free
to drop me a line off-list.

I'd love to hook up!  Let me know when you get here!

Also:  My bar (http://houseofshileds.com), will be having a Josh Wolf
Benefit on Tues. Feb 6th from 8-11pm.

There will be music and a couple speakers who are down with the cause.
 If anyone is around the SF Bay Area, we would love for you to show up
and support the cause with your hard-earned money.  A percentage of
the bar as well as a $5 door (though you won't be turned away if you
cant afford the 5 bucks), will go to his legal fund.

And if you have any books or letters you want sent to him, bring those
as well and we will sent them to him!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: What Would you do?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I would teach the children how to love again for the very first time.

I would make videos that are oddly inspiring and marginally educational.

I would bring back handclaps as the driving force in my soundtracks.

I would make videos less about me and more videos about you talking
about me.  But only in the 3rd person.

I would join Halcyon and his grandfather in a video group hug.  I'm
into group hugs.  I hear next season Oprah will be announcing that she
is also into group hugs and then WATCH OUT!-- group hugs will be all
the rage here in America.

Re: [videoblogging] Make Money With a Podcast, the book

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I make money through video podcasting, most recently with CNet Networks.

There are others here as well who make money from videoblogging, but
not videobloging specifically, but as I call the "infrastructure of
videoblogging".  In other words, the consult groups about the medium,
but is not making video for them.

I think its a more viable way of profitting for most, as just being a
production house may not pay the bills.

Anyway, you should find a good amount of folks on this list who are
generating income.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Make Money With a Podcast, the book

[schlomo rabinowitz]

This is how most of us started, Heath.  Just like you:  created video,
met other creators, been enriched by our collective experiences.

On the issue of money:  I don't think I know of any example of
money-making that did not involve a lot of knocking on doors.  These
dollars don't knock on my door, I knock on their door.  Everyone:  Bre
with Make Magazine to independent producers like Kent, Andrew, and Tim
Street had to go talk to those to hold the pursestrings; not the other
way around.  Heck, you even need a sponsor to believe in you for Have
Money Will Vlog.

On your most recent video, you talk about how you just made a video
for thelot.com, a filmmaking contest born-and-bred in Hollywood,
brewed in an agents office, made because of the hyped buzzwords of
User Generated Content (whee!).

Personally, I think these contests abuse the very concepts that make
podcasting interesting.  They strip all of the goodness away and just
leave the idea that Hollywood is the best way to be creative.   Or
something to that effect.  Just rubbish.

But then, if you, Heath, ran around say DragonCon (or come out to San
Francisco for Wondercon!) and interviewed your heroes and your peers;
make something interesting for a market you care about and believe in,
 then I do believe that you will find some money for your work.  It
won't make you rolling in dough, but it will definitely subsidize your
passions.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Make Money With a Podcast, the book

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I absolutely agree with your thoughts about your vlog; they are very
similar to how I feel about my own:  just a collection of videos that
reflect what I'm feeling or doing at the time, communicating to a
couple people.

This also made me think about my WonderCon video, which I hadn't seen
in a while.  Turns out that I made it exactly one year ago!

Ya wanna see? Huh? Ya wanna??!?



I still like it, which, I guess, is part of what we are talking about.

[videoblogging] OG Videoblogger - Anti

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey all

I've been going through my RSS list, picking out feeds that don't
produce content anymore and rewatching their past work.  Makes me all
misty-eyed thinking about the videoblogging scene when you knew almost
everyone doing this stuff.

So I made a little post highlighting one of my favorite videobloggers
and thought that maybe a bunch of you have never seen his stuff-- and
you may like it as much as I do.  He is definitely a character, but
not in an "amusing clown" sort of way.

He's stopped posting on his blog, but you can buy a cafepress book
collection of his written work-- and you can go through his
Mefeedia-created archive of his videos, which mostly live forever on
the Internet Archive.

Anyway, just sharing:

I don't know if there is some conspiracy afoot, but personally, I've only
heard of her in articles.  I've never seen her stuff.

I have always believed that there is a nationwide conspiracy to Bring Love
Back To The Children, though, which I believe started with Jim Henson and
almost died with Soupy Sales.

Re: [videoblogging] Youtube event in SF

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I had a really good time.

Kairsten and I went down to Pier 39, on a pretty sunny afternoon, and talked
YouTube with a bunch of folks.

They had a scavenger hunt that didn't seem to ever get started, because
everyone seems to enjoy just talking and meeting each other.

Had a good talk with Mark Day, who was the only person I knew there.  Met a
bunch of local and not-so-local folks who are REALLY into shooting the poop
about what they love about YouTube.  Did a couple interviews that I'll be
putting up later.

Made me want to make another meetup at my place, and reinvigorated me to
push a certain groups together in the same room.  Plans are a-coming.

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon? (was Re: Tuesday FlashMeeting)

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I think some of the stuff from the last vloggercon still is applicable today:

How tos
Net Neutrality
Digital Divide
Get Togethers
Distributed Collaboration
Futurist Brainstorming Sessions
Video Vertigo Summit
Money Makin', Makin' Bacon
... and that's just off the top of my head.

I know you and Jay keep saying that you dont see a reason to have one
yet, but I still disagree...and that's coming from someone who put a
lot of work into the last one; I understand what an undertaking it is
to create a two-day event (if it'll even be a two-day event next
time).  There is much to discuss.  And even more to celebrate!

One thing I kept fighting against last time is how Yahoo-centric it
was; today it will be much easier to bring in perspectives from all
over the web.  From the youtubers to Corporate (like NPR and NYT)
those who go it alone.  This is the main reason why I want to do it.
I'm selfish:  I just want to talk to these other folks and all they
need is a reason to come over.

Anyway, that's my two cents..

Yes, all you local bay area folks, come on by and hear me speak
about..um... things and stuff on behalf of webshots.com

But really you should come to see my friend Brian Walsh's product
Castfire.  It's pretty damn amazing if you are into the whole
monetization thang.  It's a great service.

Putting together a Video Vertigo Summit is in my top 3 reasons on my
wanting to make another one.

And it will be longer summit, that I vow!... of course, it could just
be you and I sitting in a room together for days, but I can think of
worse things to do.

[videoblogging] Vloggercamp = barcampusa

[schlomo rabinowitz]

So part of what I'm hearing is "Conference Fatigue" and some people
want to go camping instead.  Well, that's exactly what some of us are
doing with BarCampUSA 

Why not just have it there?

One thing to think about though is that many people on this list do
not go to conferences.  They don't put themselves on the conference
curcuit, so something like discussions/panels are actually helpful for
them.

When I think about it, I bet fewer than 60 people on this list attend
more than 3 conferences a year.  I understand Conf Fatigue, which is
why I've chosen to limit the amount of them I'm attending this
year...its a quick, easy way to cure yourself of the fatigue.

I don't even think I'm spelling "fatigue" right...

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon=BarcampUSA?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

There will be plenty of tents for meetups of large groups.  We have also
been talking about having Videoblog Salons or whatever you may call them...
places for videobloggers to get together, shoot, upload and generally be
vloggerconny.

I keep hearing about how you folks want to camp; I think barcampusa will
have that room.

Remember though:  barcampusa is not just about videoblogging.  So if you
want total immersion in JUST videoblogging, then hooking up with barcampusa
may not be the right choice.

Either way, I've already committed time and energy to the videoblogging
tract at barcampusa last month.  Nothing is in stone, and all can be mutated
to fit what we want.  (welcome to barcamp!)

But to bring the point home:  barcamp is not just videoblog specific, but
there will be tents that will basically be pretty darn vloggerconic.

Yes, I said "vloggerconic", which is much better than a "vlogger-colonic".

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Vloggercon=BarcampUSA?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I hear you loud and clear, Heath, which is why I wanted to make sure
everyone understood that barcampusa encompasses EVERYONE, not just
videobloggers.

It also does not address my heartfelt need for a Video Vertigo Summit,
which I may just find a venue for separately.

Also, though I have some NYC leads for an event space, nothing is in
stone/signed.  The reason the last vloggercon was held in San
Francisco was because nothing was getting finalized in nyc and I knew
I could throw it here.  Throwing it again in SF is a last resort to
me, and I would rather throw it anywhere but here.

Everyone get their concerns out earlier than later so we can come up
with some sort of consensus.  Right now, I'm hearing:  New York,
Camping.  Am I also hearing Inclusiveness rather than being an
extension of another event?

Regardless, barcampusa is going to happen and videoblogging will be a
major part of it (because that's what I want at barcampusa!:)

just my 2 cents

Re: [videoblogging] Dammit- What am I doing wrong?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey Chris

You have to demux the audio... basically, on those little cameras, they slam
the audio and the video track together.  this makes your editor think there
is no audio...

So use MPEG Streamclip.  Its free, and it batch converts!

that should work

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon=AnythingAnywhere

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Which would be great; it seems that around most of our events the group have
done (vloggercue, vloggercon), have had regional components.  There are
always flashmeetings that can be booked for the time as well.

Yeah, most press I've gotten doesnt usually bring all that much change in
traffic, except for the couple times on NPR becausedrum roll,
please...they actually link to content!!!

Not even the SF Chronicle links to my site when they write about me, which
is weird since they consider themselves techy.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: suspended by eBay

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I would just like to mention, as a previous W&S sponsorship auction winner,
that I have recieved my goods intact and as indicated.

Furthermore, my sponsorship has not only raised awareness of my site, but
has actually brought a much more respectable viewership to my videos.  My
emails prove it.  In fact, just yesterday I got a letter from the wife of an
African President.  From my videos, she thought I would be perfect to help
them launder their diamonds.  This oppourtunity would never happen if it
wasnt for the increased exposure I recieved from my Wreck and Salvage promo.

Re: [videoblogging] how to do stop motion

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Funny you mention stopmotion animation as I just finished adding it to
the San Francisco SuperHappyVlogHouse page...


What editing software do you use?  PC or Mac?

With stills, just import them into your editor of choice and lower the
length of each pic in your "slide show"...which is really what you are
making.  A sped up slide show.

For mac, I use iStopMotion, which is a really easy program to make animations.

I made a video for webshots about stopmotions.  You can see it here:
  Its not really a tutorial, but
kinda says what I've already written here.

Good luck!  They are not hard to make, just very time-consumming..
like most good things are:)

[videoblogging] Jonathan Letham gives away film option to new book

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey all

I thought this post would interest some folks:
<
http://tigerbeat.vox.com/library/post/jonathan-lethem-giving-away-film-option-to-his-new-novel-you-dont-love-me-yet.html
>

or a tinyurl:
<*http://tinyurl.com/2apsw3>

Basically, he is going to give away the film option to one director
initially.  Then, five years later, he is going to open the film rights into
the public domain, thereby allowing anyone to create their version of his
initial story.

Pretty cool stuff.

[videoblogging] Re:Participate in Stop Cyberbullying Day-- Decency and Opposition

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Not to hijack Andy's new holiday, but after getting some emails on this
subject in the last 24 hours I thought this group would be a good place to
discuss the issues of Decency and Opposition.

The emails I got were because I am one of the editors at Evilvlog.com, a
site that some might think is like meankids.org.

I've never heard of meankids.org before, but after some
searching/learning/interpreting, we do seem to have a couple things in
common and some major differences.

What we seem to have in common:
- editors who discuss the issues in our field (in our case: videoblogging
and community interaction) in a...um..caustic way.
- a childish gang mentality
- editors who are regarded as innovators in their field
- a preponderance of cuss words
- pictures and words!

What we dont have in common:
- they are rank amateurs in the art of the snark.
- they have no concept of Woody Allen's primary rule in comedy:  "If it
bends, its funny. If it breaks, its not".

At Evilvlog, we have crossed the line before.  We will again.

In fact, there are many people on this list that we have taken to task
because of what they have written/filmed/created.  Some have no idea why we
are slamming them; others can't even figure out that we are actually
praising them!:)

We have also empowered some forward-thinking people to step away from their
blogs and talk real to us on our site.  That is (one of) the primary goals
for me on Evilvlog; to allow anyone to have an unfiltered voice to discuss
what is eating them up inside in regards to our passions in videoblogging
and the connections made through video.  I even use my name, not an alias,
for people to understand how I feel in this space. (Mainly because my mom
has no interest on reading about these thoughts on my videoblog.)

The internet needs spaces like this.  I even kinda believe that the public
internet was BUILT on spaces like this.  To go through the evilvlog archives
(esp. the recently retired Version 1), you will see true dialog that digs
deep into Whys we do what we do.  And there's a whole lotta noise... we do
that very well also.

Anyway.

Differing opinions are good, even snarky ones.  Obviously murder and hate
crimes are bad.

Just thought I should put this out there before we all get scared to really
have discussions.  News sites about videoblogging are well and good, but the
Opinion section is where the fun really happens.

Re: [videoblogging] Re:Participate in Stop Cyberbullying Day-- Decency and Opposition

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I dont think death threats are specifically what is being discussed.  I
think there is a wider grey area that makes the issue interesting.

Obviously, death threats are inapporpriate.

Re: [videoblogging] Re:Participate in Stop Cyberbullying Day-- Decency and Opposition

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I understand that; and I'm sympathetic to that.  But talking about the evils
of death threats is like talking about the evils of Aushwitz-- I think
collectively we can assume they are both bad.

I just think the overall issue is around Internet Decency and Anonymous
Digital Identities (or as much as we think they are anonymous).

To make life a little easier on myself (and save my hard drive from getting
too full), I just put the rss feed into my Google Reader for easy
scanability.

Now I have a REALLY long list of videos to catch up on...

still on the East Coast for the world travellers, I want to highlight
videoblogging as a Personal and Political Act as a loose theme...And woudnt
it be cool to do it around one of the primaries?

Yes, Heath, I am in total agreement with you.  It's so rediculous, its
redonkulous.  Yes, it deserves its own made-up word-- that's how far
away its gone from anything rooted within reality.

But then, I also don't care about anyones definition of videoblog
either.  Sure, its interesting to talk about over a beer, but I just
spent the last 20min catching up on this thread and felt more robbed
of my time than I did watching Heroes last week.  Now its just people
writing profanity as communication.

But really, the question I need to know:  Do we still consider
Rocketboom a videoblog?  And why isnt that question answered in the
Wikipedia article?

Hey all,

I started a new show for CNet last week and we've put up the second

Herein, you will learn how to make quasi-useful stuff from seemingly useless
items.  Or something like that:)

Make Mag was kind enough to write a little piece about us:

Wikipedia:)  After all, its easier to make me cry than it is to make the

As Stewart told me over a year ago, "That is not not in the realm of

Re: [videoblogging] A little off topic - Need tech advice

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Why dont you contact someone like blip.tv re: white labelling?  I think that
if they can create a way for CNN to handle their content, they should be
able to help you effectively.

Also, there are other companies that do white labelling as well, such as
Revver.

Sounds like what you need is not a free service, but a robust customizable
one.  Contact these companies and I imagine they have something you can use.

[videoblogging] looking for DPG converter for Mac

Hey all

I'm starting to use some homebrew hacks for my Nintendo DS, and am looking
for a program to convert my videos to DPG (nintendos video format), but am
having trouble finding one that works on my non-Intel mac.

Do any of you have a suggestion?

I agree, its a hard event to encapsulate.  Sooo much was going on at

We tried hard to stick with an over-arching theme of alternative
energy and reuseability (since that is what we focus on on KnowHow):



...and, of course, a little bit of Bre Pettis who shows you how to
make a Make Podcast:)

I know there were a bunch of folks out there shooting video for the

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Is there a listings for pixelodeon?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Really?

Having your stuff shown at Pixelodeon is not nearly as entertaining as
hanging out with all these Vlogger types.  You know that, Paul!  I've seen
you have a good time with these peeps!!

I wish I could go just to meet David Howell face to face!  That would
warrant the price of admission for me.

I just wish I could go, but my cousin is getting married that weekend and I
have to drink Mint Julips in North Carolina instead. (and hopefully meet
Chris Daniel while I'm there!)

Paul, you were born to get yerself to Hollywood!

[videoblogging] A note about Podtech

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey all

Though this list can have a Gang Mob mentality against companies at times,
Podtech does give some money to some very talented people.. and really, at
the end of the day, that's all I really care about. (well, that, and getting
Lan is money!!!)

This guy has been on the internets for a long time; doing great work for the
Hip Hop community.  Well, Podtech has given him a little funding.  Check
this vid out and tell me you dont love it:



Anyway, just talking perspective.

Re: [videoblogging] Vloggercon Europe 2007?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

VlogEurope is coming to Heidelburg Germany at that time; and is should be a

Do a search for VlogEurope and you should find the yahoogroup and site.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Hey PodTech - What's up with Lan's image?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Oh my, Robert, you are not guilting this list with this are you?

It's a business; if you didnt see some sort of value in paying these content
providers, you guys wouldn't pay them!  Don't turn it into altruism.  Same
with the Vloggies; if there wasn't some buzz for Podtech created around the
Vloggies, you guys wouldn't have done it.  The fact that you folks "lost a
ton of money" is probably from bad planning and budgeting more than anything
else.

I like you Robert, but your point here just hit me the wrong way.  It's
smarmy and misguided.

Do you blame Lan that Podtech burned through millions of dollars?  Should we
blame him for the Middle East conflict as well?

You know how these things play out:  Someone at Podtech screwed up with
using the photo without permission, so company should pay for it somehow.
Call it the "Oops, I Screwed Up Tax".  You either pay in the court of Public
Opinion, or you just quietly pay Lan his due.  At the end of the day, it's
typical business!  You know that.

Though I'm not sure why, if you already subscribe to me, that you would
subscribe to my youtube channel.  They are all the same vids as on my site,
just not ALL the videos on my site.  So, I dunno, yeah.

If you search for me on vimeo, I actually post some vimeo-specific vids over

Also, here is one of my favorite creators over there, though he is

[videoblogging] My new video obsession....

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey all

Lately my small life has become consumed with making videos on the
Facebook.  I'm not sure why.. you dont get stats, you cant see who has been
watching them, and you don't get an RSS feed.  In fact, all you can do is
record into the web browser and tag it with your friends names if they are
in the video-- you cant even make up your own tags!!

But its become a very intimate connector for me.  It's like Ruperts
Twittervlog, but without the expensive camera and monthly phone plan.

Blip.tv used to have a similar feature early-on that only worked in Safari.
I remember using it in a similar way, but the Facebook version is really
well done and should be abused by all videobloggers!

Its strange, but for some reason I enjoy making these sorts of videos this
way, but on my personal site I want to make stories in a different way.
With the In-Browser Recording, I like to just communicate in an instant
messenger sort of way.  Does that make sense to anyone else?  It's the
immediacy of the process that I enjoy (again, it helps me understand why
Rupert and Steve get excited about their phones)

Anyway, here are the couple I've done: <
http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=880965647>

I encourage you to make some of your own!  Right now!

Re: [videoblogging] The Cult of the Amateur

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Though Keen's book was filled with hyperbolic statements, there are parts of
his argument that I do agree with-- heck, without this group knowing, this
group agrees with it in parts.

Or don't folks remember how up in arms you were over the wikipedia entry on
videoblogging?

His point of mass creation of definitions on wikipedia, with those who
actually study a certain field on the same meeting ground as everyone else,
creates new definitions that get embroiled in egotism and just plain
ignorance.

Heck, some people feel that their personal videos should be a part of the
wikipedia entry on videoblogging

I also agree on his point of being wary of having a generation of Internet
Addicts.  People who spend so much time connecting online, that they dont
know how to even connect with their neighbor... I had an interesting
discussion with Kent Bye and Jen about it last month... it's one of the
(many) reasons that I severely limit my online time after business hours and
on the weekends; so I spend more time connecting with the physical world.
Heck, people now say "I'm going off the grid!" acting like its a miracle...
I am not "off the grid", I'm engaged in the physical present...which can
still contain the web.

Web2.0, and the web in general, is very seductive for a variety of reasons.
The power of the individual voice is just one of many.  The ease to create
giant mobs of angry people attacking businesses is another.

But yes, 80% of his book was crap, but it was a great quick read! Well worth
talking about over a beer.

ramble out!

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Intro New Green Show from the Ask A Ninja Editor

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Just watched it; waiting for the "high production values", thinking that
meant some sort of lavish Bugsby Berkeley number or something, but in the
end found that I was watching something that was created by competent
graphic designers, editors, and videographers.

The stuff in the video wasn't neccessarily expensive, it was just made by
competent professionals.  I mean, it was all After Effects and Greenscreen--
things anyone can do.  They are just well skilled at it.

Steve, would you have enjoyed the content more if the host held the camera
pointed to her own face?  Would that legitimize the experience?  I
understand that the unpolished Look and Feel of online video is something
some people enjoy, but really, if all you money-grubbers are going to get
your big payday, some sort of professionalism in tone will be needed. (this,
of course, has nothing to do with personal videoblogging.  we are talking
about Shows.)

anyway, just rambling.

Re: [videoblogging] FireAnt acquired by Odeo

[schlomo rabinowitz]

It's FireAnt FTW!!

Congrats Josh, it was a post on boingboing highlighting the first version of
FireAnt that told me videoblogging was finally here and distribution was
possible.

Thanks for that!!

Re: [videoblogging] 4-eyed-monster on self-distribution

[schlomo rabinowitz]

In the July/August issue ofRelease Print, the magazine put out by the Film
Arts Foundation, there is a pretty evenhanded article about their
self-distribution tactics.

Basically, the article breaks down each online endeavor they did (from
MySpace/Youtube, to their Thursday Night Screening run for the month of
September), basically coming down to this:

"Out of the over 1 million people who'd been exposed to the podcast, some
good press and scattered positive reviews, less than 1 percent have seen the
movie itself."

Here is some more breakdown from the article:
-- $16,658 total box office
-- 1,691 people saw the movie during Thursday Night Screenings
-- DVD release with lots of extras, including all of the podcasts, as of May
15, sold 750 copies
-- They wona a $50,000 prise from the Sundance Channel, which included some
theatrical options, but contract negotiations for licensing rights have
apparently bogged down.

In the end, the writer felt they were a success on their own terms; a mix of
the old (distributor/booker/publicist) and the new (all of the above) would
be something to strive for.

Food for thought

Re: [videoblogging] Real News

[schlomo rabinowitz]

As a bar owner, you learn to never talk about politics over the counter.
But this is an email list.

Global warming may have been a part of natures plan, but we have turned it
from a Stroll In The Park to a Jog In The Woods.  We pick at the scab.
Nothing more I can say.

And no, I'm not going to make a videoblog about it.

I only write this because sometimes this list gets bogged down on Politics
As Subject.  And I hate it.

Personally, I care what this list has to say about Politics For
Videobloggers.

Things like CC issues, TOC issues, concepts of an open distribution,
concepts of compensation, interpretations of the difference between video
online and on the big screen (or in the kitchen/living/bed room!),
constructs on how video empowers someone else to DO SOMETHING (and I dont
care what that is. Make them laugh, cry, vote, poop, whatever.) 

I can go on, but I would rather Michael Meiser take the helm.

This rant has nothing to do with you, Charles.  Honestly.  I just read this
at the wrong time and I had to holler.

We are at an exciting time right now.  Accept that. Please lets keep the
list focused on the multitude of issues that surround the independent video
artist on the web.

On another note:
Hey! Andreas and Britney sure have stirred some trouble with their Lumiere
Manifesto!


Flame out!

[videoblogging] free video converter for PC

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey all

I ran into this and thought some of you PC users may be interested in it:
<http://www.erightsoft.com/Superdc.html>

Looks pretty robust and its free!  Basically, it looks like it gives an
easy-to-use GUI on a bunch of other free/open converters (like those that
have problems using the conversion tools on ffmpegX)

I haven't used it as I'm on a Mac, but I'm interested in what you think of
it!

Re: [videoblogging] how do you watermark on your videos. your thoughts about its virtues and drawbacks?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

The easiest way I know, if you have FCP, is to do it in Compressor.  It's an
easy dropdown sort of thing.

What are you using?  And hows life in NYC?

Re: [videoblogging] Domain question

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I own schlomo.tv for only one reason:  schlomo.com is taken.  Of course, I
don't do anything with schlomo.tv because I'm happy with my blogspot
account, so it just sits around being a waste of money on a yearly basis.

Since I can't own schlomo.com, godaddy was nice enough to inform me that I
can purchase theschlomo.com... which I did after having a couple shots of
whiskey.  That one, just like schlomo.tv, languishes on the vine, smelling
worse each day I don't use it.

So, I guess what I'm trying to say is:  if you can't get the .com you want,
get the .tv  It won't change your life, but it will slightly change your
pocketbook.

Instead of turning conference-making into a job/career, we took the year

Re: [videoblogging] Re: pluggd.com

[schlomo rabinowitz]

First, I would go to the blip users group with this; quicker response.

Secondly, I checked my videos, and not only does it use my feedburner
feed (as opposed to my blip feed), they link to my website.  Cant
really find much to complain about yet...

Also, Drew Olanoff, who used to work for plugged, now does time over
at blip.tv!  He would REALLY know the answer:)

I met the CEO of plugged.com while in Seattle the other month, and I
gotta say, he was a really nice cat.  And their video search thingy is
pretty darn cool, though I'm not sure if its totally live yet...didnt
check.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: First Outdoor Video Just Posted

[schlomo rabinowitz]

If you are worried that your video wont get picked up by the video
aggregators, and you are using blogger, just put the video link in the
title.  Not make the title the video, but in the title link section of your
blogpost form.

Does that make sense?

I'm with the other saying that having it automatically download without
knowing is kinda disconcerting; especially with such a large file.

But I enjoyed the video nonetheless!

[videoblogging] iTunes Problems

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Hey guys

For some reason, a couple posts ago, my iTunes stopped being able to find my
feed.  I havent changed anything on my site I dont think, it just stopped
collecting my videos.

Is there someone around here who may be able to figure out my problem?  My
feed has been working fine for years!

The feed:
<http://feeds.feedburner.com/EchoplexPark>

Any help would be much appreciated as its NaVloPoMo and I need to be filling
the aggregators with my stuffs:)

Thanks Bill and ssukotto for the advice; but I'm still confused... (I've

Ssukotto, how do I tell feedburner to use the quicktime?  I've always put
the quicktime as a link in the title post so the aggregators take that
first.  Always worked before; why the change?

<http://reviewitforward.pbwiki.com/>

Basically, its a wiki that is created to help you get noticed in
various aggregators; the first being iTunes.  You need some reviews?
Then add your site url to this list and review 10 others: Review It
Forward!

Not sure if this will help you get views (and yes, I understand the
irony as my iTunes feed is having issues:), but its nice to help
others you are in desparate need for hits.

Interestingly, I think I'm the only non "show" on the list at the
moment.  Put yours on and help others out!  Couldn't hurt!

Thanks for this, Rupert.

Though I still cant get a couple recent posts to download in iTunes, I
erased the rel=enclosures from my latest post and it worked perfectly!

Not sure what to do about the Lost Episodes Of Schlomo for my iTunes
viewers, but I'm moving on to your new workflow.

Thanks!!

Re: [videoblogging] Counting views in Facebook?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

Personally, I love that the Facebooks doesn't show stats.

Once the site started being open to anyone, I loved that I could
easily put up a personal video that would only be seen by my friends
(or by the friends of who I tag in the video).

Most of the videos I post on there are of me and my girlfriend talking
about our day right when we wake up; which is a much more personal
construct than Mahalo Daily.  You want the world to see those, which
originally, is not what the Facebooks were all about.

Sometimes I game the system by tagging my popular friends so that 1.
they notice and watch the video, and 2. so it shows up in their
friends timeline.

You know, tag Scoble and have 5000 more potential viewers.

If you want to have more control of your stats, I dont think that site
is the place to be posting your videos.

Re: [videoblogging] Re: Counting views in Facebook?

[schlomo rabinowitz]

I agree with you; the terms are typically horrible.  But the videos
I'm putting up there are really just doodles on a notepad and
communication to a couple people.  Nothing that I'm worried about
being co-opted into some promotional piece.

Unless they are into me and my girlfriend babbling; which may be the
rage next season!
