Video, Mobile, Solutions and Next Thoughts?


Something I’ve been mulling over for the last few months is the best delivery model/method etc., for making my movies, films, productions, documentaries, clips etc. easily aquired by the mobile web user. I currently have more ways to deliver a video on the web than I can count. But what I don’t have is a really slick interface that allows me to post all my vids and provide the user with a variety of ways to download them in the appropriate format; from full HD QT vid, a BRD file if they wanted to, .M4V files for the PS3 users, and little H.264 files for the phone people. Whatever…I want to be able to provide it.

To my knowledge, no current online video host provider has this feature. YouTube formats videos for proper viewing on mobile media, but not to download. I want to freely give my stuff away. Share it, use it, talk about it.

I’m not a programmer at all. I have the full sweet of Adobe apps so perhaps a dabble in Flash here or Adobe Air there. But it’ll just make my head swim. I’d like to provide an interface that I’d host on my own site that would provide all the necessary information on a film/short etc., and all the links to share, download, and love on. A sweet little app I can do my editing of content locally, then update automatically with the web app would be sweet.

I don’t have any solutions yet, but I’m working on it. Do you?

24fps vs. anything faster- Which do you like better and why?

This is almost entirely preference but I had a few convos with Leo (aka @ShotsAndCuts) on Twitter today. The premise? I like 30/60. He digs 24fps. So which do you like better and why?

I dig 30 and even 60fps footage. I shoot all HD. This combo= everything super sexy and super clear. This is especially the case when doing my international stuff. There’s so much to see and experience. I aim to bring my audience in to where I’m shooting. They can’t get there so I’m going to do my best to bring it to them. That’s what I love and my eye likes a faster frame rate better.

But that’s just me…what about you?
