Do you Video Upload?

[Susan]

Well we all WATCH you tube or google video, but does anyone here actually upload videos to those sites?

I've seen so much stuff out there from people videotaping a rainstorm on their porch, their dog wiping it's butt on the floor, of people singing in their living rooms, actually TRYING to sing good and sucking hard.  Some have actually gained a celebrity status on you tube.  Does anyone here upload and for what purpose? I found out recently my brother had been uploading old goof videos him and my cousin made, pretending to be cheech and chong, which is funny to think it's out there on the net for the entire world to see.

So in all this video madness that's making everyone into instant internet celebs i felt left out.  I have a cheap camera and no editing software except windows moviemaker which sucks. This file is crunched and only took 2 minutes to upload, clearly it's crap so i've removed it from public search because i'm a big fat chicken. But at least i can say i'm part of the video internet world, dammit. And since i love being heckled in this forum anyhow...

Although clearly without talent.

The only thing I've uploaded is some short clips of my dogs, so some friends and family that live far away could see them.

I've posted a couple of things before.  I've been meaning to post more of my material but haven't really been able to due to extremely long load times. Probably because I try to use as much of the 100mb limit I could get.  Haven't uploaded since youtube got bought out so things may have changed.  I only have about three clips on there, but when I get more time I'll load some more/make some new content.  I've been so busy with work I've neglected it a little.

Also Susan, I've been obsessed with that song for quite a while, and am hoping to buy tickets to Daft Punk for when they come to town December 14th or so.

And the video was quite alright, you should see the awful mock clip I did a while ago to celebrate my former single status.  Lip syncing is not my friend, but my excuse is that it was made, start to finish, in under an hour.

I've been thinking of how to jump more into making shorts in a more international way but have yet to come up with a practical solution.

[Susan]

dean that's great! We all need to do more stuff like this for at least our own amusement..lol Last night I did my deitrich impresion of "falling in love again' But no way i'm showing you that one. I thought about doing something like yours where vs lipsynching i cut together clips of me doing various things, i've not tried anything like that. My problem is moviemaker is crap, i don't wanna buy anything for this i'm just having a bit of fun, so piecing together clips so it's still in synch with the music is impossible. So i gave up and just turned on my pc speaker loud and held the camera near it..lol

I should buy a t-shirt that says "I amuse myself", because whenever i do things like this i swear nobody finds it as funny as i do. ;-) Thanks for sharing that, how many youtube hits did you get?

[dean]

Oh it was for fun as a private thing so wasn't really made for hits at all, but I think from memory it's floating somewhere in the 100 odd mark, so very localized, and I suppose that's how I like it for this one at least.  Maybe if I have something better it'll get seen more! 

But I think the key is how you tag it on youtube.  Get a high frequency word in there somewhere and you'll at least get on the search page easier.

like sex. i notice that no matter WHAT keywords I use whenever i sort them by view count the same videos always seem to be at the top completely unrelated to my search which means they probably have a huge index of tags..lol

Well we all WATCH you tube or google video, but does anyone here actually upload videos to those sites?

Yes I do!  Not just stuff I've found on the internet, but i've uploaded a few videos I've made myself, some are music videos I've made by taking mp3s and editing together footage from various movies (or, in one case, a TV show) and one of them (The Fruit Bowl) is a short film I made for my digital editing class.

I've got two more videos made that I've been trying to put up, but I'm having a hell of a time converting them to a smaller format youtube will take (the limit is 100 megs, and the videos are in mov format at about 1.6 Gs each (took them from Final Cut Pro.)  Problem is, some converters I use they don't convert the ENTIRE video for some reason, and others I use and the quality of the vid is so degraded it's like I'm watching a blurry Lego movie. 

So, if anyone has any tips on that let, me know.

Anyway, what's weird is they took off my Braveheart music video because they said it violated copyright law (I guess Warner or however is real picky about that).  They also took off my Aqua Teen Hunger Force video once, but, months later, when I saw a bunch of other people posting ATHF stuff I put it back up.  (I guess Adultswim is okay with people posting vids.)

If anyone wants to SEE my videos, you can go to my profile at http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=DKaidian

Be sure and leave comments!  :)

I liked the Time Goes By video., wouldn't mind seeing more of you dancing around.. 

Oh, cute cat, too!

[Susan]

crap i forgot you guys can see those too

LOL

Yes, i coulda made a fortune making videos for MTV back in 1983...

[Mr. DS]

If you do a video to Rick Ashley I shall cheer.   

I'd love to do some video stuff down the line but making the effort on figuring it out is plauging me right now.

omg, i could create a rickroll of my own....

Then again i probably already did. I can't dance and now the whole world knows...lol  hell i don't know what i'm doing. i just turn on the camera and then stick a bunch of color stuff on the editing program and save. i dont have time to invest in actually learning video editing. i got a life

no i don't...

[Mr. DS]

Oh don't self yourself short, you've got rhythm. You ought to see me on a dance floor when the 80s start to play.  It gets real goofy.  Keep em coming Susan, in the meantime I'll start your fan club.   

[Scott]

Susan, they were great videos at least you can dance and lipsync and Dean was funny while on those rides.  I have to get back to my Womba TV Studio sometime this week and post some kind of responce to these.

Now we've all got the hots  for Susan.
