Title: Vidcast # 226 - "STAR TREK"
Post by: Rico on May 11, 2009, 05:08:53 PM
Well, this is my biggest vidcast ever, I think.  Thanks to everyone that sent in your thoughts about the new movie for the show.  Loved them all and was especially happy to have a few new faces send things in.  Great job - everyone!!! 

Oh, and if you didn't know yet - the movie is talked about in depth.  So SPOILERS run free during the whole show!  You have been warned!

Enjoy!!!    :metallica:

Yeah - it was great to get some new folks on.  Check the credits at the end for who's who.  I think most everyone introduced themselves.

Great vidcast Rico! Thanks for allowing me to participate. I hope my next contribution will be a little more relaxed but I enjoyed being able to finally contribute. I must say that I really enjoyed Vartok's piece on Michael Giacchino. It was very well done and informative and makes me want to seek out more of his work!  Thanks for all you do Rico! I love the podcasts and I love the message board too and all the members. It's a great community. I think I would have withdrawals if I could not check in several times a day to see what was going on.

Popped some popcorn and watched the videocast - Best one yet :)

Glad to see there was a strong showing from the Enterprise fans, you guys rock!
Great to see Ktrek, Brian, Ricardo, Meds, Trekkiegeek, Jamie, the Fosters and the Moyer Clan - cool as always.

Vartok, that was the best artist profile I've heard and your video was just awesome.
Your a pro right? With the Discovery Channel or History - don't worry your secret's safe.

As always thanks again Rico for sharing your love of Star Trek.

It's always a lot of fun to do these - they just take a lot of work.  Again, it was really great to have so many new folks join in on the fun.  We will have to do another one real soon.

Probably much better to go see the movie first before watching the vidcast.  But it's up to you.

Working my way through it as time allows.

Enjoying it.  I woulda sent something, but I was attending a Trek event out of state.

Finally got a chance to watch the vid-cast. Outstanding job everyone! It was very cool to see and hear everyone's take on the film.  The only downside is that I now feel the urge to see it for the third time!  :D

Looking forward to watching this one! I would have contributed but I don't have video equipment which is something I must rectify soon.

Ditto. I tried a video once with the web cam but the effect was...not good. Trying to do any compression at all on it to send it anywhere caused it to completely lose audio/video Sync.

Still watching the 'cast. Fun so far!

Good podcast.  The observations and comments pretty much mirror my own.

I can't believe no one has mentioned my Teddy-Spock yet?!?   :)

Post by: moyer777 on May 13, 2009, 09:15:23 PM
I loved your Teddy Spock.  But somehow I figured you already had one, it came as no surprise.  :)

Now, the Star Wars sheets, I was expecting those.

Great vidcast just got round to watching it. Great job everyone.

TO all the guys who said they didn't have recording equipment. Do any of have a normal digital camera? Many of these have video capability. My video was shot with my Sony Cybershot, uploaded to my laptop and sent to Rico (I don't think I even had to convert it). Easy really, but I don't have editing software, but for simple one shot takes, it's fine
Title: Re: Vidcast # 226 - "STAR TREK"
Post by: Feathers on May 25, 2009, 02:47:40 PM
The camera does video...but not sound. (I will probably now embarrass myself and find it does have sound too)
Title: Re: Vidcast # 226 - "STAR TREK"
Post by: Rico on May 25, 2009, 03:03:00 PM
Webcams are another very inexpensive way to do fairly ok video too.

Tim, your quality was fantastic i would never have thought you used that. Wow i'm blown away i honestly thought you'd used a hd camera.
Title: Re: Vidcast # 226 - "STAR TREK"
Post by: Trekkygeek on May 26, 2009, 03:53:06 PM
This was my point Meds. I use a 7.2 mega pixel Sony Cybershot which cost about £150 a year ago. It's a great little  camera and I use it to record and upload video to Youtube so easily. Now if I could learn about editing and and adding special effects I'd be laughing, but I'm afraid my poor little Dell Laptop with 1GB Ram and 1.6 processor just doesn't cut the mustard old chap  :)

Mine wasn't exactly amazing quality, but I just sat there and blabbered on and on to my webcam and then used Windows Movie Maker to cut out the bits that made no sense. Converting it was the hard part. I had a heck of a time finding a program that would do it for free.

I have the same problem. My main computer is seriously running out of disc space and i can't before to buy a external hard drive. It's all my itunes stuff that's buggering me up. My laptop doesn't have a great memory either so when i do the waffle on casts and the Prisoner treks in sic fi i near enough have to erase all of it once it's uploaded. Bit of a pain.
Title: Re: Vidcast # 226 - "STAR TREK"
Post by: Rico on June 04, 2009, 09:43:34 AM
Keep in mind guys, that I think as long as you have a webcam and get an account setup at like Ustream, I think you can record right to the web.  Although the quality, due to streaming, might not be great.
