Delay

So, my second video clip – a much more interesting piece with my dog and my roommate’s cat (working with what i’ve got here people) is delayed because I accidentally uploaded the .jpg and not the .mov file. I’m sure I’m not the first person to do this and I’m glad it happened right off the bat so that I will always be more careful. I like to learn from my mistakes.

Anyway. All last night I was hanging out with my girlfriend and I wanted to tell her how exciting this discovery of video blogging is – but it still feels to new to talk about. It’s like my private little slice of heaven and I’m still feeling a little protective of the idea. Maybe once I get my groove on and am producing little shorts on a regular basis – then I will be more inclined to share with my real life people.

I’m going to start playing with Flash again. I pick it up and put it down, but I think that this video blogging revolution will be a perfect environment for messing around with computer animation.

The First Video


My First Online Video

Serious thanks to Michael Verdi at Freevlog. The tutorials are fairly easy to understand. I had a few issues with the creative commons publisher, but that’s all ironed out. The Internet Archive is the coolest site I have ever seen on the internet. Having just read “Weaving the Web” by it’s inventor Tim Berners-Lee not long ago, it’s nice to see it all start to come together. Now I can add content to the web for others to use as they like and I have found places where I can gain access to foreign knowledge that is actually of interest to me.

Whew.
