Hi Amy, Great idea. Great adventure... I'm subscribed, now. Gena has great advice. I would also say to always remember the networks online, where you can ask questions and shoot the breeze and connect with some of your viewers. As well as asking questions here and joining facebook, flickr, etc - join Twitter. You can keep up with it via your cellphone as well as online. And add ruperthowe and then look for the other vloggers I talk to and add them too. Then they'll add you back and will hear what you say, and you can chat and ask questions at all times of day and night and tell people when you've posted another film. It's social networking at its lightest and most immediate.
You're going to be posting a lot, too - so you need to get your workflow down and speed up your processes, cos otherwise you'll spend your whole life editing, compressing and uploading video, nevermind the shooting and the maintenance of the blog. It can be a real hassle. There are lots of tips for good ways to do things at freevlog.org. It can be *super* lightweight - I shoot and cut on my phone and email the video over a wifi connection to Blip, who then automatically crosspost it to my Blog. But I'm sure you'll want more camera and editing power than that. Play with it, see what you can streamline so that it's more fun than chore. Have fun :) Rupert http://twittervlog.tv/ http://feeds.feedburner.com/twittervlog/ On 6 Jul 2007, at 00:02, amy_bugbee wrote: Hi Everyone, My name is Amy. I have been podcasting in various forms for about 3 years, maybe more. Our next adventure is up on our new website http:// www.ayearatthewheel.com. Here's our videoblog intro: http://www.lulu.tv/vlog/evilNOW.com My husband and I are preparing to embark on a year long cross country adventure to cover the election and find out what the American people really think - Ever notice how we are all made out to be idiots that "can't handle the truth"? Big plans for two non-voters, I know. We have a portable digital recorder from Marantz - which is awesome, digital and film cameras, and two video cams, so we are set to see it all and catch it all on film/audio/ photos for others to experience with us. Anyone have any advice, suggestions, or a floor to crash on?
