The origin of this show is the result reading this post by photographer Eric Kim about the process of running an online critique, such as they have on Flickr and elsewhere. In this show I use his post as a starting point and looke at ways of running a critique face to face with individuals or groups the benefit both sides. Futher show notes and transcript are on the blog.

Many years down the Twitter road and I'm still without any motivation to tweet. I picked up some encouraging information at a recent THATCamp in Providence last week that I hope will get me on the right track. Check out the show notes.
In this second installment of my interview with Susan Murphy, we talk exclusvely about PAB, the annual New Media event that takes place every year in June in Ottawa Canada. It's not merely about media, it's more fundamental, focusing on ideas and the power of storytelling. If you missed the last episode, check out the first part of the interview, where we talk about creativity and Susan's experience attending Creator Camp a little over a year ago in Ottawa. You will find a full set of show notes and links on the Video StudentGuy blog. This is the last year for PAB and while you can search on the site for posts about my experiences attending years poast, there's no substitute for being there. This is your last chance. It takes place June 8-11 but there's still time to register. I liviein southern New England and it's a good 8 hours or so to get there, but It's more than worth the time and effort.
Susan Murphy is my guest for a conversation about how unconferences, particularly Creator Camp, can provide a lot of professional, personal and fun experiences whether you're into social media or no. Full show notes and links at the main site, Video StudentGuy dot com
Howard Phillips is an accomplished cinematographer, filmmaker, media technologist and teacher. I met Howard when I was a student in the Filmmaking program at Boston University' CDIA where he was Associate Director of the program. Over the years I have relied on him for his clear and deep knowledge of film history and technology as well as his insights into the future of filmmaking. You will find show notes and links on the main blog.
This episode is the Q&A that followed Dr. Bob Arnot speaking at Rule Camera in late February about being an independent multimedia journaliist. read the previous post for more information about Rule Camera and links to Dr. Bob's work. if you're an aspiring filmmaker or journalist you'll find a lot of interesting information on how to chart your own course in the choppy waves of new media distiribution. He's very pragmatic, but also very hopeful and I really enjoyed the diverse range of questions that were asked. To his credit, he didn't skip a beat and was always ready with an answer. You can reach me via email or leave a comment on the blog
If you know anything about Dr. Bob Arnot you know if from his role as chief medical correspondent for CBS news in years past. Since I haven't watched TV through the airwaves for two or three years I didn't know he had moved on. You can find out more about Dr. Bob on YouTube. He's also on MOJO HD TV as Dr. Danger. Dr. Bob is an entertaining, electric personality with lots of stories to tell and you won't find anthing less in the appearance he made recently at Rule Camera in Boston MA. Thanks to Rule for bringing Dr. Bob to Boston and for allowing me to post this recording. Check out their Vimeo Learning Lab Series where they post recordings of all their evening and daytime training events. The video recording of this event should appear online in a few days. He spoke almost two hours in front of a packed house and spent more time following that speaking to individuals. I have broken this recording into two sections. The first one is his presentation and the second one is a slightly longer Q&A One production note, I am starting to post audio as AAC files, which should play nice on any modern player. If you have a problem please do two things: Load it into iTunes, it will work there Let me know you're having a problem. Maybe this is a mistake.

Show notes and blog are on the official VideoStudntGuy blog In today's show I'm talking about history and storytelling, a topic that was prompted by a fun podcast I just discovered, Today in Canadian History and also because this weekend PAB (Podcasters Across Borders - shhh!) is taking place in Ottawa Canada. There may still be time to purchase tickets. History is storytelling on a grand scale, but it's also very personal because of the way we take it to heart and wrap our lives around it. The more I understand the role of stories in our lives, the more excited I become about the creative possibilities that are open to me. And a lot of what I've learned about storytelling has been gained from attending PAB. PAB is all about storytelling and though I won't be there this year I wish everyone the best time and I offer this post as a companion piece. My way of taking part and making a connection. Salute
