So here's my first entry for Videoblog-a-Week.
A group of us are doing it to see how videoblogging could work on a daily basis.
You can say so much with video.
Like this one is about two minutes. Pretty long. Takes awhile to download.
I'd say keep it under a minute.
It's also a huge file, about 5MB. I couldn't do this everyday right now.
My Typepad account only gives me 100MB storage space total.
I'd have to upgrade.
This video is about where I work. And yeah, my job is a big part of my life.
I work at a community TV station in Manhattan.
People can learn how to make a TV show for FREE using FREE equipment and then air it for FREE.
It's a pretty unique deal because this station gets a lot of funding due to the hard work of commited activists.
We have a huge TV station to give people a stage to communicate.
But imagine if you had a intuitive videoblogging tool. You could do the same thing on the net for free.
Plus, most TV shows are only good for about two minutes anyway.
The 30 minute TV show is a dying breed.
I shot this in literally about 5 minutes on my palmcoder.
I edited it on Imovie in about 20 minutes.
Exported it through quicktime. 10 minutes.
Created and Posted it to this site: 10 minutes
Nice job.
That video gave me a great sense of where you work.
Hmm... I should do one of those too.

really very nice - its the kind of thing that (i think we've talked about this) MNN should play on their channels to get people in there, little 'how-to's'. on the other hand, not at all what i was expecting.

Dude... don't quit your day job!
There are a lot of websites, and new businesses out there that are not doing well. Even when you think you have the PERFECT idea, you need membership and client cooperation before you can get out of the "rat race".
I've been working on my site for about 7 years now, and thing are going... but not good enough for me to make a profit.
If your doing VERY WELL, then just delete this post and accept my apologies. But if your NOT SURE what's going to happen next, then call your boss quick and see if you can hustle for a while until things start looking up. You need at least a 100,000 dollar a year salary just to run a startup business. And that has to come out of your pocket, unless you have a sponsor that believes in you. Even that's rare for an Internet Business.
Good luck anyway. If there's anything I can do to help, just ask.

Strangely enough, I also work at a TV station and made a little videoblog movie, a year ago.. just took my camera with me all day:

Can you give us the information about that person who was arrested for exercising her constitutional right to free speech?

Work is a big part of most people's lives--that's where we all spend our time.
