I've uploaded this to illustrate how categories like Community video contain normative boundaries that I have been uncomfortable with. The boundary here is my thought stream on culture and democracy that crosses from archive footage (like the other video) to art performance experiments on video... I would think that even if unstructured and uncommented on footage were allowed (not documentary) then an artwork on t-shirts would seem 'out of place'. But that is a division in me between info and creativity..

The Re:transmission gathering is a chance for media activists and independent producers to work together to find ever more effective internet tools and strategies for distribution. There are going to be 5 chances to check out the films of the participants.

I am contributing to the Citizen Video discussion at NFT: So I thought I'd write a few notes to precede the live discussion... This website looks very quiet but if there are any readers out there...  hi!

In the last 2/3 months I've been re-editing some of my videos and doing quick edits on some others, with IPod scale distribution in mind. I've posted them onto Google video via its web based up loader. This has a file size limit of 100Mb, so I had to edit longer pieces down to about 15 minutes. I can't get the desktop uploader, for videos larger than 100Mb, to work on my Mac and am having trouble processing video to their spec with FCP 4 /Quicktime. The .Mv4 Quicktime output does work well so I've stayed with that for the meantime. Anyway iPod versions seem an ideal way of getting a introductory version of material into potentially widespread circulation.

This page of summaries is designed to give you the information you need to choose which workshops you need to attend. Additional information is available of some of the workshops.

Please have a look at the schedule here if you wish. http://retransmission.org.uk/workshops

Too many software manuals and internet video help pages assume technical knowhow. We can create and enable widespread access to simple, clear help files applicable to all our online video projects. Transmission participants are working together to improve existing online help resources using wikibooks (http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Video#Internet_Video) and create user-focused guides
This project needs help - can you?

An example of a video that might be boring to a general audience, but is a valuable historical record of an important event. Shot on Hi8 (analogue).
Later...
I've updated the Animal Rights footage with a shorter c12 minute edit that gets rid of the glitch infested final 5 minutes.. I've also managed to upload a full size .mov (over 1Gb which took about 20 hours to upload) for Google to process, so it will be interesting to see if you can see any difference. Google don't do 'update' so you have to start on a new page and erase the old one - not helpful if people have bookmarked it for a lecture or something.

This post is the same with what i post to the list.
