A week or so back, I produced and uploaded a high quality photo slideshow of photos from my nephew’s first birthday. The video is great. The compression was horrible.

Then my favorite photo-sharing website, Smugmug, added HD video to their features. Sweet! I recompressed my video and uploaded it last night. It’s so much better! I don’t think I’ll be needing Vimeo anymore, maybe.

I found my Xbox Live USB video camera. I thought I had lost it.

Many of you know that a few years ago I produced a weekly Christian music podcast. It lasted over a year, and I really enjoyed it. Since then, photography has not only replaced the time and energy, but has done even more for me, artistically.

However, I have been thinking about a possible new program that I could record. I’m thinking about a daily vidcast. Not long in length, and not complex to produce. It would really just be an extension of my regular blog posts. You see, when I get an idea of something to write about, I simply write it. When that idea is real short, I generally Pownce/Twitter it. However, there are times when I want something a little bit different. That’s where the vidcast comes in. I think I’ll start by recording a short, off the cuff, inspirational video. I’ll toss in some photo ideas or tips on occaision too.

What do you think?

To make it easy, I’ll record it and upload it to my Vimeo account. Then I’ll embed the video here. I think. Below is a short sample.

So one of my Vimeo contacts made this totally cool video from taking photographs. Below he describes it. I’m completely and totally excited about this, and I’m going to give it a try ASAP!

“A photograph taken at every ten paces as an experiment to see how a technique closer to stop-motion with composed images and control over random factors (especially joggers) compares to standard video time-lapse.”
