MEETING NOTES
We had a nice group that was able to sit around a few tables and talk media making. Joining Brittany, Carl and myself were Tim and Pat.
BRITTANY
Brittany showed us her new Canon SD400 which she got on ebay for $250. It has a 2GB memory card that she got on Amazon.com for $75. Brittany is thrilled with the ease of use of the camera. She shoots in 640x480 at 30 frames per second which allows her to drop her files into Final Cut Pro, render, and edit easily.
Brittany has a really great idea for a new videoblog based on her roommate. I won't give it away here, but can't wait to see it. She's also going undercover on a secret video assignment. We'll hear more next month.
We talked a lot about web video, including video sharing sites, and NBC's recent decision to ask YouTube to remove Lazy Sunday.
Here we are watching Lazy Sunday on Google Video.
PAT
Pat showed us his new video Sprout Rap. He hosts both his videos and blog on blip.tv.
CARL
Carl told us about his new project, Worcester Diaries and entertained us all, especially me, with his dry sense of humor. Yay Carl!
TIM
Tim told us about a documentary he's making on credit, and how he tried to get an interview with the Save Karyn girl, who now has a book that's been translated in to a number of languages.
STEVE
I told a much to long story about how I got into videoblogging, but people seemed to enjoy hearing it, especially Carl who recorded some of it.At one point we all professed our love for Amy and decided that what we were actually doing was having the first meeting of the Amy Carpenter Fan Club.
NEXT BIG MEETING
Our next BIG meeting is March 5th at 10:00 AM.
We also might get together on Feb 26th if people are interested.
