Title: Podcast # 185 idea
Post by: Rico on July 01, 2008, 09:25:51 AM
I want to do another video podcast for show # 185.  In the shower this morning I had an idea for it (I do my best thinking there).  I want to do sort of a best of Trek & favorite episodes.  What I want, is for as many of you as you can to record a little video clip where you tell all of us what your favorite Trek episode is and why.  You can include a little footage from the episode in your clip if you want or I can add some in later.  About 5 minutes max time would be best.  I think this will be a lot of fun.  I am hoping for a little variety in episodes too so feel free to maybe pick something a little less obvious.

Timing for this is looking like the first weekend of August.  Vidcast should come out on August 3rd.  If I get your clips by the end of July we should be in good shape.  So, that's the idea for now.  I will try and setup an easy way for all of you to upload your clips soon.

You realize this is next to impossible for me.   :lol2

But you give me enough time to figure it out......

Just a little reminder bump about this.  A few weeks left to make your video clip and send it on in.
Title: Re: Podcast # 185 idea
Post by: Rico on July 15, 2008, 05:40:26 PM
Jen had a good suggestion.  If you have a favorite episode you are going to cover, list it here.  Hope to get a good variety and no duplicates this way.  If someone else picks your episode, just pick another at the top of your list.  You can mention both on the video you do.  Doesn't have to be the very top one for you.  A couple weeks left for this - so start thinking about the episode you want to cover. 

I think this will be a lot of fun to watch!

I finally figured out an episode.  I just hope I can find the right clip for it:  Hide and Q.  

A lot of reasons that I love this episode in TNG.  

Trying to get a clip though is hard, any suggestions Rico?

Like I said above - you don't need to include a clip.  I can add it in later - if you want.  Or just chat and talk about why you like the episode.

How much editing can you do, Rico? Like can you cut out the part with me running from the camera to get in front of it?

About video clip size for show #185...

would a clip from a wide screen sized down to 640 x 360 pixels be ok?
Title: Re: Podcast # 185 idea

Sure that's fine Dave.

I can submit one - just need the upload info
Title: Re: Podcast # 185 idea
Post by: Rico on July 26, 2008, 08:26:13 AM
You can use the same upload details I set up for podcast # 150.  Should still work.

You need an FTP type program (I like Filezilla).  Here's the info to upload your file:

Address:  ftp.powweb.com
User:  ricopals
Password:  forvideo1
Port: 21

Also, feel free to use you send it or other ways to get me your video.
Title: Re: Podcast # 185 idea

File name is SilentEnemy_640x360.

Sorry Rico, mine won't come in.  RL has just gotten out of control and I feel sending one in would be a bit of a joke right now.  Hopefully you do something like this again soon.

Here are some stills from my review of Fist Full Of Datas....consider it a sneak preview.  I was trying to imitate Troi's cigar scene and thought I got pretty close, when I wasn't really trying. I had to do a lot of takes of this scene of me with my boots up on the table. I unintentionally left the camera rolling as Dave and I were discussing the lighting and my volume.

The quality of the camera mic isn't so great so I had to plug my podcast mic in, and recorded with it at the same time for better audio quality. Anyway, I didn't even realize the camera was still recording and ended up with a lot of footage that made better stills than video. The sunset pic is actually in the video. I may put a few more up to encourage you guys to make one of these. It really is a lot of fun.

Thanks Meds. I had trouble with the lighting when I was filming inside, which was disappointing. Oh well... was still fun. Here's one more pic.

Looking good Ric, this podcast is going to rock. I did mine last night and then i realised our cable broke so i'vegot to get another one. Hopefully i'll do it in time.
Title: Re: Podcast # 185 idea
Post by: Rico on July 28, 2008, 04:31:40 AM
I'm really getting pumped for this!  You guys are doing a great job.  And for those that haven't submitted yet - even a simple web cam can record a short video of you.  Takes 5-10 minutes of your time.  You don't need to build the bridge of the Enterprise.  ;)
And again, I can slip a couple clips of the episode you talk about if you need or want it.

Ok - I got the very small file version (and it worked fine) but I want the bigger file.  It will play on your machine - right?  You tested it?  Try uploading it again maybe later on (you can over right your first one or rename the new upload before you start it).  The file might of got chopped slightly.  One other option is to use You Send It.  Kenny & Jen use this to send me the Ready Room shows.

Ok - I have to say of the videos I have watched so far you all have done great!  This is really going to be fun!  Meds all I saw with you was Doctor Who!  You need to be the next Doctor!  Jen - you certainly are a southern girl!  Rick - awesome job as always.  Dave - loved your comments and episode pic.  And Bryan - well you need to be an actor!

I wanted to make a few comments and kind of get everyone excited.  I also want to encourage more people to do this and send something in.  Kenny I know you are pretty busy right now, but the show won't feel complete without an entry from you.  And please - anyone with even just a web cam record a little clip and send it on in!

You all have really made me smile with these and I can't wait to share them on the vidcast this weekend!

P.S.  And who knows - I might even share some more of my dance moves with you.  I've been practicing!    :metallica:

Thanks Rico! Yes, I have to say even doing something simple with their web cam like I did took all of 15min to set up and film and was a lot of fun! So antone out there on the fence, sit yourself down and make a little vid!
