Super Simple Screencasts for Free!

Posted on by

Screeencast-O-maticI just found out about a new site that allows you to make screencasts with extremely little effort called http://www.screencast-o-matic.com . I tested it out and any user should be able to create a screen cast in just few minutes with out installing any software on your computer. I have used expensive products like Camtasia Studio and let me tell you Screencast-O-Matic is much easier and will do almost everything the average screencaster could need. Let’s say you wanted to show someone where to find something in an application, just create a quick screencast in screencast-o-matic and e-mail them the link. Here is a screen cast I did while I was writing this blog post. Currently the screencast is available in Java if you host the video on screencast-o-matic’s servers, but you are able to export to a Quicktime .Mov file and upload it to your favorite video sharing service, ex. Youtube, Revver, Blip.tv. What are you waiting for, go create some screencasts 🙂

Zooomr Mark III launching shortly

Posted on by

Zooomr Mark IIIZooomr Mark III is launching sometime late this evening or early tomorrow morning. Zooomr is a photo sharing site similar to Flickr but they are trying to re-define the Stock Photography market. You can choose to sell your Photos and sell them between $1-1000 with 90% of the revenues going to you. This should really start the pricing wars in the stock photography market. I’ve never sold any photo’s but i’m almost certain that nobody is giving 90% to the photographer. I really hope this works out for Kristopher Tate & Thomas Hawk as they both deserve some success after putting their blood and sweat into Zooomr.

First things first, you must show up

Posted on by

In order to accomplish anything in life, complete a task, etc… You must show up!!! Even with a simple task such as reading this mundane extremely exciting blog post, you showed up. The task or event doesn’t have to be monumental. Think about the next thing you do, accomplish, or go to. Think about half the battle was just being there. Are you going to show up for that next big idea you have, or are you going to miss your appointment? Remember this, if you planned on showing up and you didn’t, you have failed.  Don’t forget, you may have to show up every day.

Digital Work flows

Posted on by

Last night I had an extremely bad experience capturing video from my MiniDV Camcorder. During the capture my heart dropped as my video camera proceeded to eat my tape. After this occurence I wiped my eyes dry and started to think about how currently the video work flows are and how we can enhance them so we can 1. speed them up and 2. make them a little more crash proof. In the video space Hard Drive camcorders are starting to become more prevalent.

Using a Hard Drive based camcorder would have eliminated my tape from getting eaten and would have also allowed me to transfer the video much quicker to my computer than I would have by capturing a 1 hour MiniDV tape.

It takes 1 hour to capture 1 hour of footage on tape when it only takes a few minutes to transfer video from a Hard Drive based device. Simple Video workflow solutions would cut production time immensely and allow me to concentrate more fully on editing and actually getting a product out.

Changing your work flow can be applied to any aspect of your life. Be creative, how can you manage your work flows to increase your productivity. Is it a simple process change or a Technological advance or both. Be creative, alter your work flows, be more productive, get more done. Post a work flow hack in the comments.
