Videoblogging theoretics, being the media, and the completely improvised future of a world currently without rhyme, reason or good beetroot fertiliser.

Video killed the radio star, yooh ahhh

When Ian Mills posted a video of him drawing with the old Buggles track in the background, it was obvious some sort of dedication was begging to be made. So keeping with his theme of you can't do that on a podcast, this is my dedication to the videobloggers I think are doing some ground breaking stuff, or at least have influenced me some.

There's a few missing, such as Human Dog, but that's mainly because I had so much video to download, I only included them if I could easily right click a video to immediately download it. Come on Chris, you gotta make this easier for people?

Very well done, it was nice
to see everyone (who I've only got to know
thru video in the last 2 months)
in one video...kind of touching...in a
strange and disorienting way.

you can easily save any video posted to human dog the same as any other quicktime file. just like the one you have posted above, click on the little arrow on the right side of the controller and select save as.

it's pretty standard quicktime fare.

I don't know, but that made me choke up a little. Thanks for including me... It's kinda like we're a virtual family of sorts.

Hi Chris, in Windows without QT PRo, they disable this feature. You can only download to disk by have a hyperlink to the movie. But no matter, I'll do it on my Mac next time.

OK that had a sentimental value to it. I love my virtual neighbors. Thanks for including me.

I also want to show this video this weekend at a conference I'm doing. You mind? I'll be reposting as at thevoiz.com.

P.S. I have qt pro and I can't download. MMM?

Woah. That's great. I didn't realise im influencing people.

Wait a sec. Does that say 'Ian Mills' or 'Ian Milis'?

That was really freaking cute, man!! Love that song. Like it or not MTV and bad (by that I mean, sooo good) '80's pop, changed everything. And here we go again!

So good.

As I was watching it I told Carol that "videoblogs are better than TV."

Really.

It was so fun to see everybody that I watch on a regular basis, and I got a kick out of seeing myself in there twice.

You really did a nice job of picking some of the best moments in videoblogging, especially Amanda Congdon running the camera, and some special Ryan and Jay moments!

Okay...we got a classic.
this is good work.

ok seriously...I didn't see this video either until tonight...and i feel like a loser because if I had seen it, I probably would have taken my latest video in a whole other direction....Dang...I swear i did not try to rip you off. now i am really pissed...I feel unoriginal...hmmm...I even thought about using that song....but I didn't....Bollocks!

I must admit, it was weird watching yours thinking, maybe he hasn't seen mine? I love it that you did a similar thing, and almost wish you'd used the same song. :-) Remix, recycle, adapt, react, reuse. We are the media, we make culture.

posted by Richard BF at 5:09pm on Wednesday, 27^th April 2005

WOW. I DONT EVEN KNOW YOU GUYS, BUT YOUR ROCK!!!
I ABSOLUTLY ADORE THE FILM. I SHOWED ALL MY MATES AND THEY THOUGHT IT WAS BRILLIANT!!!
NICE ONE!!!!!!!!!!
