What do you look like on video?

Undertoad · 10-30-2006, 08:17 PM

Nood I realized after I said it, that it sounded like I was saying you hurt people, which is not what I was trying to say.

Elspode · 10-30-2006, 08:23 PM

Upped the ante, indeed. Christ, now I have to decide if I have anything worthwhile enough to say to merit taking a shower and setting up the camcorder. Nah. I think I'll just have someone shoot me conducting a Pagan ritual tomorrow night and post that.

Wow. That's really cool. I feel like I've actually met you now, UT.

I share the same reservations as Spode, with the added concern that I have no earthly clue how to get video into YouTube. I have a web cam and a microphone. What then?

lumberjim · 10-30-2006, 08:41 PM

pah. I've met Undertoad. he's 100 feet tall, and breathes fire out of his arse. that's photoshopped!

zippyt · 10-30-2006, 08:43 PM

Dude , NO FAIR !!!
I am stuck with dial up !!!!!
AHHHHHHHH !!!!!

Undertoad · 10-30-2006, 08:43 PM

That's all I have. I had to figure out how to force it to use the mic on the web cam, but once I did that, it was easy.

For me, Logitech "quick capture" captures the video (i set it for 320x240) and pops it into media player; find the carefully hidden File menu and "Save As" to a file somewhere; upload the file in YouTube, where they convert it automatically to Flash video and put it into their template.

The hardest part was getting used to the idea of talking at the thing, and then setting up some interesting lighting.

Aliantha · 10-30-2006, 08:44 PM

lol...I know how you feel zippy. I've given up. I'll try having a look next week.

Undertoad · 10-30-2006, 08:45 PM

Ah yes, and the one thing I did video wise was to crank the color saturation down a little bit, because in this really low lighting it made it look better.

footfootfoot · 10-30-2006, 09:04 PM

OH piss. now I have to go out and buy a frickin video camera thingy.

That's better anyway, I'm much more charming on video than in print.

Camera phone, video, email it to yourself and awaaaay ya go

mrnoodle · 10-30-2006, 11:50 PM

Holy crap that's awesome.

You talk like a bass player

That's not a bad thing, btw. It's just distinctive. It's the cadence, the humor, the whole package. It screams musician, and bass in particular.

I'm like "The Band Whisperer". Maybe I'll get a show.

no offense on whatever it was that was going to make me mad. Metrosexuals don't just go to hell, btw. They go to hell where there is only generic shampoo and NASCAR.

zippyt · 10-31-2006, 12:04 AM

Why you no NASCAR know'n Slumbitch !!!!
