Following Kent's advice on the importance of audio, I am looking for an
affordable leveler microphone. I bought some audio equipment in the past,
and got a bit burned with buying things that were not exactly what I need.

For a set of a news room, outdoor interview and such, I thought of buying
the following microphone: AUDIO TECHNICA ATR-35S Lavalier Microphone

It is relatively cheap, wireless is not a must, and I read good reviews
about it.

Did anyone here buy this microphone? Do you have any other recommendation
for a lavalier microphone?



Thanks!

Any "Lav" will do, especially if you're using noise reduction before
final output.  The only goal is for the mic to pick up the subject's
sound without picking up too much (or hopefully any) of the other
person's sound so there's no 'bleed' between the channels.

Make sure there's enough play in the cable so the subject doesn't pull
on it, causing the mic to move, introducing obvious noises into your
audio.

MOST importantly, monitor the audio with headphones AFTER the final
output.  If you have two mics plugged into a mixer plugged into a
miniDV camera, attach your headphones to the *camera*, not to the
mixer.  You want to know EXACTLY what's going on tape.

That's because the mics are VERY sensitive to movement, which you
won't hear through the air.  Movement of a lapel, playing with a tie,
putting a hand over the mic... It won't mean anything to you,
listening through the air, but when you try to edit, you'll wonder
where all that annoying "scratching" came from.

It's one integrated box yes, and yet watching vlogs on the TV in a
mass consumable way is still a whole world away.

The whole experience will change.  Video on the web has RAPIDLY
evolved. It has gotten VERY specific.  How long it is, the
interactivity expected, the type of advertising that works, the need
for permalinks / comments / embedability.

We are but a box away from the mainstream world... lord knows the iTV
was a flop.  And yet web video is thousands of miles away from the tv
experience.

It's impossible to tell which way it will go.  Certainly some web
video will go toward tv consumption.

But most I think will remain interactive because interactive has more benifits.

I'm more inclined to think, vlogging as we know it. Specifically all
the twittervlogging, RyanneEdit, and personal telepresence /
non-linear video communications and the clip culture stuff that's made
youtube go... will stay interactive and go increasingly mobile... i.e.
to the pocket while remaining interactive... NOT ipod, but iphone,
nokia, PDA + wifi.

After the failure of AppleTV, and the fact that promising devices like
Akimbo never took off.  I'm not so sure "america"  (i.e. the mass
market in general) is looking for more stuff to consume in front of
the TV.

It's been a bit like "webTV". And look where that is.  Dead.

That said, I'm still looking though, and expecting, some big breakout
set top device that proves that the model does work for some types of
long form, entertainment and news based web syndicated shoes.

But you know, that's just me.

All this should just make you realize two things

1) boom/bloom.... wtf evar... we still have a LONG way to go before
videoblogging / video podcasting has worked it's way into parrellel
with the traditional media. But it WILL.  You will be able to watch
web shows on your TV.

THis COULD take... ten years. Yes... even ten years.  And to think,
it's already 3 years, going on 4 years since videoblogging started
taking off.

2) Web shows are NOT TV... they are fundamentally something new... we
don't even really no for sure what is so damn special about having
shows in a browser as opposed to on a tv screen... we've barely begun
to understand the differences... and yet we are three years in.


It makes the universe seem both infinite, and small.  Here many of us
have been doing this for just about 3 years and it seems like an
eternity and we have VAST amounts of knowlege on the subject... and
yet we really know nothing.

All I really know is I love RyanneEdit's and the twitter vlogs more
then ever... am consuming more "raw unedited personal clips" then
ever.  Am consuming less "clip culture / viral video / spectacle /
crowd following the crowd" crap then ever, and am marveling at how
damn good things like JetSet are getting.

Jet set to me is already the new TechTV. It's quirky kid orientedness
has matured into something that even us 30 somethings can watch.
(Damn I'm getting old.)

The future is

1) PERSONAL, just like sharing photos on flickr

2) Viral clips = unsustainable, specatle crap... stuff for the "new
.boomers" to deal in... when people get over it and it collapses they
will collapse... but hopefully not whipe out the entire industry...
because hopefully vc's and other investors are smarter this time

3) short, and midlength entertainment and news...   Jetset is my new
favorite example

That much I think I know.  Where it will go... tv / handheld devices
is impossible to say, but of course I have my theories and they're
stated.

P.S. I'd like to point out how wrong we were btw about RSS as a means
of piping and precaching video on the web.
Portability/downloadability is still EXTREMELY important for various
reasons I dare not get into here... but RSS's value is as a means of
syndicating metadata, enabling interoperability, and doing video
search.  It has been the single most important thing... and yet we
were completely wrong about it's value.  95% of all video IS consumed
online.  Not on ipod's, PSP's, in democracy, fireant, itunes or
others.

I'd also like to point out all the early audio podcasters were wrong
too. While audio is consumed in more varied places then video... audio
podcasters like Adam Curry were completely wrong when they thought it
was too early for video and the bandwidth wasn't there. Video has far
eclipsed audio in this little evilution in media.

Damn... it feals so good to just read great mailing list stuff and
write some crazy crap on the mailing list. I've missed you my old
friend. :)

Blabbering is such the luxury. Blabbering on mailing lists is the new
podcasting and the new twitter all rolled in one. :)

Hey Kfir

In case you are ordering that lav online or by phone, it is not
wireless. It has a cord/cable. Good mic for under $50.00 (US).

There is good info if you search the messages.

Under $100.00 the choices are few. $100 - $500 and you have a better
selection.

The other day I was looking for an answer and ran across this company
Gemini Sound (geminidj.com), they do DJ gear.

Some of the options
Gemini - <http://www.geminidj.com/ux16.html>
Nady - <http://www.nadypro.com/cat_wireless_microphone.cfm>
Shure - <http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/Products/index.htm>
Azden - <http://www.azdencorp.com/shop/customer/home.php?cat=29>
Sennheiser -
<http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/category.asp?transid=cat50>
AKG - <http://www.akg.com/>
Telex - <http://www.telex.com/>

Big tip - You want more than one channel. Deciding between UHF/VHF
will depend on where you will use it most often.
UHF is good if you are in several different cities. You or others
around you will have more wireless mics on at the same time or there
is a lot of radio signals around (stations, dispatching etc)
VHF is cheaper but the down side is every one likes cheap, so you may
have others on your same freq. TV signals and other stuff is on VHF
too so cities and towns (metro areas) are not the best place for VHF.
If you are out in the country or suburbs there might be less interference.

Used is a good option.

If you locate a good source (ebay is always worth a shot) look for a
deal on a wireless system with a Lavalier and a handheld mic. You will
be glad you have it.

I must admit, I only really use it for the latter... but I've only
gotten into using it again lately.  I do use it ON the TV too.
Powerbook --> to TV... with remote.  It's interface is a little
cumbersome still. They still need some UI work, some simplification of
the GUI. But it's really pretty remarkable.

HERE HERE!

It's the single most important button in the interface. And yet... I'd
like to point out that iTunes still doesn't have this. Of course...
iTUnes is DEAD to me so I don't care in more if apple wants to put
it's head up it's *ss. Which is exactly what the podcasting directory
is in iTunes.   When apple decides to come out and play with the rest
of us and stop making it's own walled garden and walled off ecosystem
in itunes, then give me a call. Untill then, I just don't care. Video
on the web is hot, video in the web is hot. Video in the ipod...
well... I'm annoyed with apple's closed platforms increasingly. Apple
has lost touch with where the media market is going.

And yet I'm still planning on buying an iphone. :)

One line occurs to me as I read through all these.

VIDEO WANTS TO BE SOCIAL.

I'd challenge the Miro people to make it more SOCIAL of an experience.

I think the move AWAY from the permalink button back to the website,
and toward obtuse interactive favoriting system is what causes Miro to
be so disconnected.

Not going to go into what I mean by "social".

But I will say...

VIDEO IS THE NEW PHOTO.

Think flickr.

Video does want to be social.

Is that a reference to hot/cold media.

Videoblogging is certainly a hot medium.

An activator.

It is an interesting way to look at it. Because videoblogging does
seem to be at odds with desktop aggregators, set top boxes, and
portable devices like ipods.

One last thought.

Does it even matter any more if video blogging comes to the TV?

I have to say.. increasingly it doesn't in my mind.

Video shows on the web are already a success.

It's inevitable that some of it will come to the TV in the living room
yes... I'm not worrying about it happenign any more though.  Noone has
gotten it right (iTV / Akimbo, etc) but increasingly I think harware
makers and cable tv operators need our content on their platforms in
order to keep attention more so then we need them.

We are over the early adopters hump. We're no longer upselling. We
know this thing will succeed. But we're still very early. Noone has
offered a completely cable TV / web TV integrated box.

The key is the consumer doesn't really care WHERE it comes from.

It must be a transparent experience regardless of how the content gets there.

It just has to have Heroes and their friend Joe's youtube vlog.

Or..  The big football game + ask a ninja.

The user doesn't care where it comes from. It's got to seemlessly do it all.

I still think tivo has the greatest shot at seemlessly combining the
two into one simple interface.

Apple failed because the iTV doesn't do the other 90% of tv. It was
something only geeks could use.  You still need a seperate cable box.

There is a tipping point

If traditional TV (cable / satelite) don't eventually start allowing
ANY videoblog on their content this long tail of content will slowly
fracture their market.

Many to purchase multiple devices... or simply to opt out all together
from cable/satelite.

It's not just us eating away at it. It's also things like Blockbuster
and Netflix.

Videoblogging is not going to fail if it doesn't break through big
time in the living room. It's definitely here to stay.

This whole conversation just makes me realize how EVIL the comcasts,
and AT&T's of the world are.

They're directly keeping videoblogging off of the iPhone's and the
Tivos at this point.

Albiet... inevitably  it will be to their own harm. But none the less
you can't hook your Tivo up to the web because Comcast wouldn't let
users use a tivo that could get shows from the web.   And you can't
VOIP from your iphone because AT&T wouldn't let sell an iphone that
did VOIP.

Luckily. Much like our open source fore-fathers we're at a stage in
the game where we can simply say... F*ck em.

It's something i've smiled about every day for the last 3 years and
said of the major music labels as well. With the amazon launch some of
them are starting to get it.  As for the rest... it's increasingly
irrelevant to me.

The reality is as unconmfortable as it is is one way or another the
content finds a way... legal and illegal.  You don't have to pay for
cable to watch Sara Silverman, you don't have to purchase the grossly
overpriced CD in Australia to get the latest Trent Reznor/NIN, and you
don't have to get an iphone to watch videoblogs or call your friends
around the world for free.

Can't we all just get along. :)

yeah the world would be a hell of a lot easier if you could do all these things

1) by a set top that did webtv and cable/satelite

2) get an cell phone that does VOIP/cellular  (tmobile has one!)

3) buy music anywhere in the world in mp3 format

4) be a fan of a tv show without having to purchase 8 hectors pre
packaged digital crap channels to get it.

But settting aside *ss hole companies that play for keeps.... it's
just americas heavily entrenched / mature / macroeconomic industries
respond to the market slower than a son of a biatch. Par for the
course.  Want faster responding markets. Move to a smaller country
like the Phillipeans / Japan / somewhere in europe.  They have their
disadvantages as well.

It seems to have worked well, and distributed our video across 20 or so
different platforms, including the ones we were previously uploading to by
hand, Blip, Vimeo, Youtube, Google, Yahoo, etc..  The downside is that each
*upload* costs $0.99, not each video.  So if you wanted to upload a video to
all 50 sites they support, it would cost 50 bucks.

Pretty pricey, but a useful service.

Hey guys,

I missed the NME, but spent the weekend finishing off the sites etc.

ChannelFlip.com and its shows (Unwiredshow.tv, PlayDigital.tv,
Discusshow.tv) are now up and running in 'beta' form - IE, no
animations and snazzy lower thirds, editing is a bit rough, sites
need tidying up.  But, on the plus side, it seems that things, you
know, work.  We are shooting on a regular schedule now and will have
one 5-min ep of each show up three times a week.

Thought you guys would be interested - more episodes to come on
Wednesday and Friday.

Cheers,

Wil.

Looking for videographers to vlog about dating and relationships in a big

Another option for those interested in video commenting systems for
Wordpress is Revver's new plugin for Wordpress.  The plugin enables
video responses to your posts, and your subscribers are automatically
given a Revver account when they sign up and post video responses — so
they earn (and you earn as a sharer on their video responses).

The plugin also allows you to upload videos to Revver directly through
your blog (+ auto-publish upon video approval), and manage your Revver
account and videos all right from your blog

More info and example sites are here:

Podcamp AZ is right around corner (Nov 3rd) and I'm putting together a
promo video but I need your help. I want you to shoot a video starting
off with "This one time at Podcamp..." and tell me about an experience
you had at a podcamp event. I don't care what size or specs they are.
Send your clips to clintus at idoitdigital.com by Monday 10/08/07 to
insure your story makes the promo.

And if you have nothing going on that weekend, head on over to
podcampaz.org and sign up for a session; either as an attendee or a
speaker.

Thanks for that thought.
Personally, I still want web video on the TV.  Or at least on a
screen from my couch.  It's an environment and circumstance thing.
I don't watch TV any more.  I just can't take it.  Watching British
TV feels to me like watching TV in a foreign country used to.
But I miss vegging out on the couch with my girl.
It's... I don't know... a YEAR? since I even sat down and watched a
DVD.  I used to be the biggest movie fan I know, and I used to watch
a lot of telly, too.
The thing is, I work from home, on my laptop.  Kate uses her computer
for work and personal email, in quick bursts.  When we want to
unwind, the computer feels like a work tool, and not like something
to watch for fun.  If you have it open for videos, why not check your
mails?  Why not surf something else?  Suddenly you get all
distracted, and it's not a 2 person activity any more.  Even worse,
you start doing work at 9pm.
As it stands at the moment, I'll send her URLs to share.  She'll
watch them at her computer, maybe, if she has time - usually if I
tell her they'll take less than 3 minutes of her time.
That's not good enough.  I know we could sit down for a long time in
the evening and watch some great videoblogs.  They wouldn't have to
be 3 minutes long, and they wouldn't be feel like something to be got
through before going off and doing something else.
I just want, in the evening, to be able to share my watching with my
family, and choose whatever media I want to consume.  I figure a lot
of other people  just feel the same.
How this would tie in with contact with the creators, i don't know,
though.  It'd have to.

One last thought.

Does it even matter any more if video blogging comes to the TV?

I have to say.. increasingly it doesn't in my mind.

Video shows on the web are already a success.

It's inevitable that some of it will come to the TV in the living room
yes... I'm not worrying about it happenign any more though. Noone has
gotten it right (iTV / Akimbo, etc) but increasingly I think harware
makers and cable tv operators need our content on their platforms in
order to keep attention more so then we need them.

We are over the early adopters hump. We're no longer upselling. We
know this thing will succeed. But we're still very early. Noone has
offered a completely cable TV / web TV integrated box.

The key is the consumer doesn't really care WHERE it comes from.

It must be a transparent experience regardless of how the content
gets there.

It just has to have Heroes and their friend Joe's youtube vlog.

Or.. The big football game + ask a ninja.

The user doesn't care where it comes from. It's got to seemlessly do
it all.

I still think tivo has the greatest shot at seemlessly combining the
two into one simple interface.

Apple failed because the iTV doesn't do the other 90% of tv. It was
something only geeks could use. You still need a seperate cable box.

There is a tipping point

If traditional TV (cable / satelite) don't eventually start allowing
ANY videoblog on their content this long tail of content will slowly
fracture their market.

Many to purchase multiple devices... or simply to opt out all together
from cable/satelite.

It's not just us eating away at it. It's also things like Blockbuster
and Netflix.

Videoblogging is not going to fail if it doesn't break through big
time in the living room. It's definitely here to stay.

This whole conversation just makes me realize how EVIL the comcasts,
and AT&T's of the world are.

They're directly keeping videoblogging off of the iPhone's and the
Tivos at this point.

Albiet... inevitably it will be to their own harm. But none the less
you can't hook your Tivo up to the web because Comcast wouldn't let
users use a tivo that could get shows from the web. And you can't
VOIP from your iphone because AT&T wouldn't let sell an iphone that
did VOIP.

Luckily. Much like our open source fore-fathers we're at a stage in
the game where we can simply say... F*ck em.

It's something i've smiled about every day for the last 3 years and
said of the major music labels as well. With the amazon launch some of
them are starting to get it. As for the rest... it's increasingly
irrelevant to me.

The reality is as unconmfortable as it is is one way or another the
content finds a way... legal and illegal. You don't have to pay for
cable to watch Sara Silverman, you don't have to purchase the grossly
overpriced CD in Australia to get the latest Trent Reznor/NIN, and you
don't have to get an iphone to watch videoblogs or call your friends
around the world for free.

Can't we all just get along. :)

yeah the world would be a hell of a lot easier if you could do all
these things

1) by a set top that did webtv and cable/satelite

2) get an cell phone that does VOIP/cellular (tmobile has one!)

3) buy music anywhere in the world in mp3 format

4) be a fan of a tv show without having to purchase 8 hectors pre
packaged digital crap channels to get it.

But settting aside *ss hole companies that play for keeps.... it's
just americas heavily entrenched / mature / macroeconomic industries
respond to the market slower than a son of a biatch. Par for the
course. Want faster responding markets. Move to a smaller country
like the Phillipeans / Japan / somewhere in europe. They have their
disadvantages as well.

Thanks a lot guys for your help!

Blog: www.pravdam.com



From: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com [mailto:videoblogging@yahoogroups.com]
On Behalf Of bordercollieaustralianshepherd
Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 15:06
To: videoblogging@yahoogroups.com
Subject: [videoblogging] Re: Advice about Lavalier mike



Hey Kfir

In case you are ordering that lav online or by phone, it is not
wireless. It has a cord/cable. Good mic for under $50.00 (US).

There is good info if you search the messages.

Under $100.00 the choices are few. $100 - $500 and you have a better
selection.

The other day I was looking for an answer and ran across this company
Gemini Sound (geminidj.com), they do DJ gear.

Some of the options
Gemini - <http://www.geminidj.com/ux16.html>
Nady - <http://www.nadypro.com/cat_wireless_microphone.cfm>
Shure - <http://www.shure.com/ProAudio/Products/index.htm>
Azden - <http://www.azdencorp.com/shop/customer/home.php?cat=29>
Sennheiser -
<http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/category.asp?transid=cat50>
AKG - <http://www.akg.com/>
Telex - <http://www.telex.com/>

Big tip - You want more than one channel. Deciding between UHF/VHF
will depend on where you will use it most often.
UHF is good if you are in several different cities. You or others
around you will have more wireless mics on at the same time or there
is a lot of radio signals around (stations, dispatching etc)
VHF is cheaper but the down side is every one likes cheap, so you may
have others on your same freq. TV signals and other stuff is on VHF
too so cities and towns (metro areas) are not the best place for VHF.
If you are out in the country or suburbs there might be less interference.

Used is a good option.

If you locate a good source (ebay is always worth a shot) look for a
deal on a wireless system with a Lavalier and a handheld mic. You will
be glad you have it.

hi guys this is a former classmate of mine from columbia

---------- Forwarded message ----------
From: Ivan O'Mahoney <ivan@...>
Date: Sep 28, 2007 10:46 AM


Our film Baghdad High will premiere on 7 November at the Sheffield
International Documentary Festival.  Under the guidance of two local Iraqi
producers and a London based team, the film was shot by four Iraqi high
school boys who documented their entire senior year in Baghdad.



I am hoping to bring the kids and their headmaster over from Iraq for the
screening so they can do the Q&A instead of me, but we are completely broke.
  Does anyone have any knowledge of charities or foundations who might be
willing to contribute towards their travel expenses?



The kids have really made an extraordinary film – the BBC has decided to run
it at 90 minutes instead of the originally commissioned one hour. They have
put so much money in already though that I dare not ask them for another
6000 pounds (which is what we need).



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.



Warm regards to all,



Ivan
