Video Blogging at WordCamp Toronto
October 5th, 2008
The afternoon at WordCamp Toronto, started off with Mark McKay talking about video blogging.
He showed us some examples of videos on You Tube. Happy Hour is his own show. Dear Toronto has their own style of videos.
He will be on MTV on Thursday at 6pm with his view on the election.
How to make a better video blog?
- Think before you speak
- Plan out what you want to do or say
- Video about 2 minutes
- Compress video before uploading
Saw the 61second video posted on Michael Geist, Boing boing
Learnt about video microblogging, 12 seconds
Lot’s of software out there and use whatever you have available to you. Vegas, Premier and Avid.
Take note of the lighting in the room
Video sharing great on Wordpress, Delicious, Facebook, MySpace, Mdialogu, TubeMogul,
Talked about Viral Videos by entering contests. Have no plans to make money of the videos and just wanted to get noticed.
Mark has a green screen in his basement and now paints a wall green where he lives. Today it takes the form of a green fabric and has good lighting. DVgarage is a great plugin.
Convergence of a video blog and TV station. Each video blog is a show. Try to keep it to all one idea. Video blog is the internets version of a TV show.
Give it away and let people watch it.
