Under the direction of Ms. Bambi Wright the Oldham County High School, Buckner, KY, Madrigal Choir, performs a beautiful arranegment of the Eagle's tune "Seven Bridges Road". My daughter is a member of the choir so I'm biased, but I think they did a stellar performance. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.


Listen for the rich and subtle harmonies, very pleased with the new Zoom H4n field recorder by the way, it does an excellent job!

YouTube Does 1080p HD from Mark Robertson of ReelSEO

This is easily the best news in weeks for video producers: YouTube is now supporting true HD 1080p. Yes, you read that right. You can now upload 1080p HD videos to YouTube and share the glorious high definition quality with your friends. Previously, the maximum upload encoding was stuck at 720p. So now resolutions will go from 1280×720 up to 1920×1080 which is really considered to be true high-definition. Outstanding.

It’s actually even better than you think, too, because they’re going to go through and re-encode any previously-uploaded video that was 1080p-capable. NewTeeVee says that last year about 1% of all videos uploaded were in HD, compared to 10% today. It’ll probably be 30% or more next year.

Here… you might enjoy watching the video demo/test that YouTube’s blog pulls its screenshots from:

Now, if you want to watch a video from YouTube that has been encoded in HD 1080p, add &fmt=37 at the end of the URL. Here is a link to a video in full 1080p where you can really see the difference – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6boDfu_abzg&fmt=37

I remember a couple years ago—it wasn’t that long ago, really—when the talk was centered around whether YouTube would or could ever go HD. Then, last May (2008), they started testing HD. Just a short 16 months later and we’re already up to 1080p. You have to give them credit for moving quickly on this.

Another new tidbit that came out of that story was that YouTube has started defaulting to the HD version for viewers that have historically chosen HD over standard definition.

I also don’t want to think about what this might do to their cost. I’m sure plenty of our readers have dabbled enough in video to know how ridiculous bandwidth costs can be. And while Google may not have to pay anyone for bandwidth the way you and I would—the facilities and equipment they own cannot be cheap to maintain.

Anyway, you’ll start seeing 1080p videos rolling out over the next few days. YouTube is openly inviting folks to upload 1080p videos, the best of which they’ll spotlight on the hompage. If you’re a content producer who has an HD camera, start filming. The quality of your videos is about to improve dramatically.

SenseCam: The Life Logging Camera

From the Videomaker web site November 6th.

We all have experienced a lapse in memory from time to time. It’s especially disappointing when the memory you’re trying to recall is one of importance, such as a special family event or vacation. Over the decades, the popularization of camcorders and cameras have helped us forever capture memories, but only the moments chosen by the person operating the camera.

Microsoft Research has developed a device called the SenseCam that is proving to be a great tool for memory loss. The digital camera is worn around the users neck, and is equipped with a fish-eye lens in order to capture as much information as possible. The SenseCam takes up to two pictures a minute without having to be prompted, and can store up to 30,000 photos on a 1GB flash memory card. This allows the user to view a thorough recount of their day picture by picture, or by compiling them all in a stop-motion fashion.
The SenseCam isn’t available to the general public yet, but it already has people buzzing about how they’d use it. Proposed ideas include an automatic diary for daily events or vacations, a way to monitor food intake, or to coordinate disaster response. I would use it to find my car keys every morning. How would you use it?

Web Spot Video - Cyco Wheelies Simulator

We were at The Star Touring and Riding Midwest Star B Q bike rally in August and a young man had a Sport Bike mounted on a Dyno Trailer and had made a Wheelie Simulator out of this set up. He takes this around to Bike events and seems to have a cleaver idea for provding some fun and making some money. Anyway he saw that I had shot some video of it and ask if I would throw him a web video together with the footage I had. So here goes
