Jeremiah Owyang interviews me about videoblogging. Fun stuff.

Update 11/21:

Hey Jeremiah! Thanks for the blog post, Video: How to be a professional video blogger, interview with Steve Garfield (2 minutes):

Steve Garfield is a videoblogging hero. He’s one of the few in the medium that is able to monetize, hold an audience and continue to build great content...

I really enjoy Steve’s online charisma and energy, for some reason, he presentation and delivery reminds me of the great Jerry Seinfield. That’s saying a lot, as I’ve met a lot of our famous video bloggers after working at PodTech....

Steve, thanks for taking the time, we really enjoy all that you share.

Steve TV: Boston Media Makers

Click to Play

Here's a quick walk around the meeting room after this month's Boston Media Makers meeting. I shot each of these moments on the Nokia N95, and pressed pause after each one, thereby doing an in camera assemble edit. After pressing stop, I used the menus to add the title and credits. Then I transferred the video to my MacBook to upload to blip.tv.

Steve TV: Gas Station

Click to Play

This video was recorded on the Nokia N95. I then edited the video on iMovie on my MacBook Pro. I learned a couple of things. An 8 minute movie, exported as 640x480 is a 266MB file. So I re-exported this as a 320x240 QuickTime movie using H.264 and it ended up as a 73 MB file. A better size for uploading to blip.tv. I might switch to recording these Steve TV videos as 320x240 so I don't have to deal with the file size problems. The 640x480 quality is amazing, but for these little tests capturing life streams, I think the smaller size is fine. I'm also being seduced by the ease of use that the N95 provides with it's internal editor. After having gone through all the trials and tribulations of logging and capturing, editing, compressing and exporting video with a desktop based system and miniDV based camera, it's freeing to be able to shoot, edit and post from one device.
