Tough love is necessary sometimes…
CentralFloridaNews.TV – I have met Chaz Yorick and seen him perform poetry to a decent degree, but these initial videos are not his strong suit.
Here’s some free advice – for anyone posting lots of videos to the web – do post your videos to YouTube, but on your web site post higher-quality vids from Viddler, Blip.TV or Revver – all three of these allow for contextual ads in the video, and their playback quality and video players are much better. A service like TubeMogul can help you post and tag the video on multiple sites, as well as tracking the number of viewers you get.
More free advice – as much as I love “A Comic Shop” and the plan for what they announced for their MegaCon booth, as a producer, you need to understand when your interview subject is as exciting as a wet noodle and you need to read the copy yourself. We made that mistake on the TASTE video and paid the price.
You can catch Chaz any Wednesday night hosting the poetry open mic at Austin’s Coffee. Also this weekend at MegaCon. Something about live streaming, but it doesn’t really say where or by what method…? Twitter – something called College Boys Live that looks like a Justin.TV thing. Not too sure what zombies and comic books have to do with college boys streaming 24/7 on the internet, but it will make my google ads more interesting for a few weeks, yes?
If you’d like to see your Orlando Video here, email < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >. We also started a show called OrlandoScene.TV – it is open for anyone to contribute so we aren’t duplicating efforts and splintering the viewership. Anyone out there making videos like this, we want to work together.
Update: According to the announcement made in this video, he and some folks will be streaming live from MegaCon this weekend via the Justin.tv service. I’m watching a little of it right now – people eating lunch. I like that someone is doing the live streaming thing from Orlando. Props.
Update 2: I had my doubts about this project earlier this week, but after watching the live stream at MegaCon, I see that you not only get to watch them set up for the videos, but all the crazy folks walking around in costume is an experience like no other. I have only been to MegaCon once in the past, but this live stream lets me get just enough of it and remain immersed to make it fun.
