I just noticed on uploading a really short video to flickr that the buttons at the top provides an embed code for copy pasting code to put in your own web site. It’s probablt been there forever, and everyone else on the planet knows it, but it just fell into my radar today. Sometimes, it is really fine to be on the dull not bleeding edge. For what it’s worth, in its full cinematic glory, a magna opus in 36 seconds, Windy Day in Strawberry… and look hard for the trans-character tension overlain by a hero mythic subversion ethos (trying to fake film talk, this is just point and shoot video of things blowing in the wind). Oh cool, the ending of the video provides a comment link. Hey! Wow, it would be nice to have a non-spam comment. Yep. Sure would be nice. No, not you “Aunty” Social you [...]

Found via a comment on an earlier post, Hugh Garry has a short video with footage shot at a music festival, overlain with a “narration” form his tweets at the event, converted via Speech to Text: As described there, Whilst making Shoot The Summer I’ve been thinking a lot about the capabilities of the mobile in film making and story telling. I Twittered my thoughts at the Cambridge Folk Festival then converted it to audio using my Mac’s text to audio recognition software. I then dropped it over clips filmed on my mobile phone. The results are quite interesting. It’s really not that complex a task, and to me, would make for an interesting assignment for a film/media class. More details at Telling Stories with Twitter. Add to the interesting pile, Shoot the Summer: ‘Shoot The Summer’ is a film documenting a summer of festivals shot entirely on mobile phones. [...]

How could I resist a title in my RSS Reader from the TED Blog called “Nellie McKay: The Dog Song”: If you need a companion Just go to the pound get yourself a hound and make the dog proud. That’s what it’s all about It’s a lot of fun; even downloaded the MP4 to have it on my iPhone. There are so many things to like about the TED videos- besides an amazing array of top speakers on compelling topics (like dogs!), the fact that they are not long monologues, the way it is provided online, in several formats, is top notch. But there was more when i was watching the video is how great the video production is– not really my expertise, but some key things about the TED video style: * Very clear audio nothing breaks a good video than lousy audio, crackly audio, audio levels wrong.

I love the idea of dotsub.com user generated video captioning — In the spirit of blog efficiency/laziness, I am copy/pasting what I‘ve just posted at the NMC Campus Observer: A few weeks ago we shared about a nifty new web video concept where uploaded video is set up so speakers of other languages can add localized captions. We are still impressed with the very 2.0ish idea that dotsub offers — user generated video captions. In our example, the folks at dotsub seeded our NMC Campus Seriously Engaging video with English captions from the original video (they did this in a very quick time frame, FYI). Just checking in today, I am seeing that someone has done 36% of the video in Italian: We are hoping with a bit of encouragement (nod nod, wink wink) that we can inspire speakers of the numerous other languages to jump in and try some [...]
