Week of Vlogging Dangerously: Day 3

Click here for the movie! (MPEG-4 format)

Today's "danger" challenge was to vlog something physically challenging. My use of props in this speech for Toastmasters was tough, because the lectern is slanted and I was afraid of spilling a gallon of water all over!

Click here for the practice reel! There is some comedy in this one, of the slapstick variety. At least I didn't spill the *water* everywhere!

By the way, since a few folks have asked: I got my haircut about a month ago. My outro/ID is from about 3 years ago; I vary my hair length and sometimes color with some regularity.

Coming up later this week: file format poll.

Hey! I can't see your videos!

I post my vlog entries in MPEG-4 format using the H.264 codec so they will be iPod-compatible. You can view them using QuickTime 7 (download without iTunes) On Linux, you can install MPEG4IP or any other MPEG4 player, though I don't know if h.264 works on them.

How do I do that?!?

First, you need to make the movie. I use a camcorder and iMovie, which came with my Mac. If you're on Windows, you might use Windows Movie Maker. Once you have made your movie, there's a tutorial right here for posting your vlog entries to the Internet, or you can wait till July and buy my book Videoblogging for Dummies.

Tell me more!

How about I point you to some links?
