Grab Bag

Where did my files go….

This would be a great post to tie into an ad for online storage or somethign but it is not. This is a sad day for the Wired Kayaker indeed. I have been working on a video for IZEA. This video was an application to be part of the IZEA Fab 4 at IZEAFest 2008. I wanted to include some Wired Kayaker footage from the 1st 3 shows and the outtakes. I went searching through my hard drives, DVDs, CDs and both computers. The files are gone, wiped out no where to be found. I am so mad at myself for letting this happen.

I am going to buy another external hard drive to make sure that all the episodes I tape this summer never get lost like that. I can’t believe that all the photos and the raw footage is toast.

I was able to convert a youtube video to a usable video in Adobe Premiere.

I did mine a long and convoluted way but you can grab youtube videos using KeepVid. It is free.

I was able to put a little Wired Kayaker video in this Fab Four Video Submission.

My Fab 4 Submission Video

This year at IZEAFest (formerly Postiecon), the folks at IZEA are looking for Posties to be part of the Fab 4. And unlike last year the group will come from those who have submitted video applications. I got in last year as a fluke because of an illness with one of the scheduled Fab 4.

I’ve been working on this video for the better part of a week. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out and it even has a guest star in it. So that is pretty fun. Take a look.
