I edited this small video but didn’t got to publish. it was just a sunny day and a good place to have a breakfast or lunch in Amsterdam (Greenwoods on Singel).

#010 Semanal week5

i published this one so so late.

here it isssssssssssssssssss

my experiences with Chinese medicine episode 03

I spoke with Professor Henry Jenkins of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Comparative Media Studies Program. We talked about the concepts of participatory cultures and remix cultural forms, and how these concepts can be used to change education. For more information see:

This is Masahiro Shioji, the guy who designed the Sanyo Xacti. I got to chat with him afterwards about why he made it. The Xacti is an interesting design and makes sense for my videoblogging. He didnt seem to have a sense that’s something we’d use it for.

my first video for Semanal (and first Lumiere)

Here is the supplement movie.

Semanal08 : Week 5 – 40 Dollars of Frustration

Details
I had $40 in my pocket, and a handful of ideas about what to spend it on. It could have been something nice for me, my wife or my kid. Or it could have been totally wasted. Listen to me rant and find out who took forty greenbacks from me.

Shot on Flip Video Recorder.
Cut and graphics in Final Cut Pro.
Encoded in Episode to FLV and H264.

Postscript
I had scrape the bottom of the footage barrel this week, not my best work by a long shot, but I had to make do to get it done in time. So, to supplement the poor showing this week, I am also sharing something from the archives that I am much happier with.

A sixty second fixed camera shot, in the style of Lumiere filmaking. This however was colour-corrected in post, nullifying it as a true Lumiere in the strictest sense.

This shot was taken sitting outside a shop in Noe Valley. The pair of gemtlemen who sit down to adjust their shoes was pure serendipity.

´carabinero y cabras´. a 40 seconds video.
i wanted to post yesterday a ´not beginning-not end´ video, but i couldn´t export de whole thing correctly.

Jackson West and I will be holding down the Citizen Journalism tip for The Uptake during Super Duper Tuesday.

I want to show what is not being aired on American news programs.

Chowderfest – Downtown Saratoga Springs, NY. Tasty!

Two years ago…

Well this doesn’t follow the theme but it’s what I got.

so psyched for this project. my first week here, hmm, which vid to put first..

ok, a teaser…

Going to the park after a summer rain helps clarify the relationship between a waterslide and a standard playground slide. Length: 0:20

Here is a Lumiere, IN THE MIDDLE (!) of me transcribing some footage in my second language. This will jeopardize my time for the next 10 days or so…

Second to family, the best part of Tijuana is the food. My mother-in-law is always cooking, always serving. Always. Seriously, she doesn’t stop. From the moment someone walks in the door, some sort of food already warm on the stove will be placed in front of them whether their hungry or not. It’s a beautiful thing. Lucky for me, the food is quite good She’s famous for the after-dinner line “Hago unos hotcakes? Should I make some pancakes?”

We did four videos this week. It happens sometimes. Only one is being placed here.

Liam’s First Video. Liam is three, and he plays with the video camera often but rarely shoots anything that doesn’t cause a bit of motion sickness. This time he did a rather well job. He picked up the camera and started to interview me. Unfortunatly he didn’t record his actual questions.

Still not bad for a three year old.

Dog Man – the Story of a man, and the dogs he tried to save. A tragic story of love, life, and blind determination. A must see! I give it 3 thumbs up!

the impossibility of holding on to that feeling (full size over on pouringdown)

No theme for me this week. Instead, I thought I’d share a bit of what it’s like in Hollywood these days.

Ad Infinitum

My first video for Semanal is an introduction to the problem: Treating the video footage like we treat the visual medium elsewhere, like in paintings, or on quilts. If we can mix colours to make new colours to use to paint with, or we can make new patterns with the threads, why cannot we let the video medium be more free from its ancestry? Free from the narrative boundaries it was set within.

I will explore this further, and I look forward to watching tons of interesting videos on here the coming months.

Here’s mine from my trip to Cuba.

Back in October 2005 I took my little digital video camera to the Trafalgar Day 200th Anniversary celebrations at the “Lord Nelson” pub about a fifteen minute walk from my house. Over two years later, and thanks to semanal, I finally got around to editing it.

You can read more about the pub here, here, or here.

Catching up…

Freak Show (Or: messing around with FCE for Semanal)

Second voodle for semanal08, Week 5.
An enigmatic, burlesque staged show, complete with Raga, Joyce voice over and short cut-up soundbite from Monk. As always, quotes, useful didactic links and supplementary metaphor-voodles from Patalab Vlog’s bi-weekly post, at http://patalab02.blogspot.com/.
Cheers, Sam R.

I love escalators.

Hat Tip to Bill C. for the suggestion.

yeah, Nokia in Europe, because it has the widest range of high-end phones for 3G etc, has biggest share of the market here, ever since the mobile phone was introduced. We luvv our Nokia’s. Plus, phone plans here are cheap, and u can switch operators easily. Hence, the iPhone won’t make it as big as it did in the US.

the music is an excerpt of the song “mimi on the beach” by jane siberry (now known as issa) http://www.issalight.com

the footage is taken at bethells beach west of auckland, new zealand in early 2007

It was all shot on my Nokia N93, hence the lack/loss of quality.

PS, this is my first Semanal video, see if I can catch up..

Happy Semanal Week Five, y’all.
