Videoblogging 101
It's been a while since I've written anything in this blog.... However i have been busy contributing on the "social media" front... As you might have seen from previous blogs, I helped produce the CEC Video Challenge project last month. The results were pretty cool -- a total of 26 video submissions this year as opposed to only 2 in 2006. If you're internal to Sun, check it out at.
And typical of how I work, I didn't really know JACK about movie creation, how to use a camera, movie editing, etc... but the project sounded cool, so I took it on... And as life would have it, I was on a fast track to learning a lot of the tricks of the trade. I ended up producing and editing about 19 of the 26 submissions. You can check out the posts on my youtube page.
Some of my favorites... Hal Stern, Khaled El Bizri, and of course, Jim Baty's very popular, The HERE Net.
Anyway, part of my inspiration in writing tonight is to share some info I gathered over the weekend... Following all the excitement with CEC, I decided to explore the world of videoblogs a bit further... I took a class on Sunday at San Francisco's Bay Area Video Coalition with a guy named Schlomo Rabinowitz. He's one of the early adopters to videoblogs, lives in the bay area, and seems to be very well dialed into the who's who in the "web-next" type space.
I've created a videoblog of my class from yesterday... Just pause it as you watch in case they scroll too fast.
More on this topic to come...

Yippie, videoblogger is you!
I'm glad you got something out of the class; I always worry that folks will not use these tools. I'm glad you are.
Keep in touch and let me know about the stuff you put up!
