Podcast appearances and mentions of anthony artis

Greetings! Welcome to the Holbrook New Media Audio Feed. We do audio, video, content creation, and that other stuff. holbrooknewmedia.com. Today on Episode 16 of The Geoff & Jeffrey show, here are some of the things we are talking about: Blab.im has died a quiet death, leaving us orphans, but Geoff, being the fancy video expert, has set us up using Wirecast and Skype. This gives new versatility, improves both the audio and video and streams live on YouTube at the same time! Blab was primarily expected to be used as a video version of Facebook, but many people started doing shows and only being on once a week. So, it looks like we killed it. The new version of Wirecast is pretty expensive, but has NDI, (Network Device Interface), which allows you to bring any computer on your network into play. Jeffrey has found that it is possible to record a Skype call with his Audio Technica AT2005usb and Zoom H5 recorder. Usually, it requires a larger mixer that has enough Auxillary Sends, or special software that takes up system resources from Skype. On Tech Down Over, the guest was Anthony Artis a writer and educator about videography. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ob1Y6kOS4c Books by Anthony Artis: The Shut Up and Shoot Documentary Guide: A Down & Dirty DV Production The Shut Up and Shoot Freelance Video Guide: A Down & Dirty DV Production Jeffrey is thrilled with the launch of a friend's podcast that he helped with. It has amazing sound, and great content. Check it out: http://remnantbiblefellowship.libsyn.com/ Geoff played a short demo for the show that is going to be played on episode 80 of The Feed, the Official Libsyn Podcast. Libsyn is the podcast hosting company that Jeffrey uses for the podcast version of Geoff & Jeffrey: The Weekly Catch Up. A discussion of how a show such as ours and Tech Down Over can sometimes have a hard time deciding who's turn it is to talk. YouTube is inconsistent in enforcing the copyright laws sometimes. Major News services reported that President Obama had banned the American Pledge of Allegience. We discuss this, thinking it is real, but found out later it was a hoax. Geoff mispelled Holbrook on Jeffrey's lower third. hehehe! Mispellings of our names in general. Advances in tech, like in the Vincent Price movie, "The Abominable Dr Phibes". He was so deformed, he had developed a way to plug in on the back of his neck to communicate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Abominable_Dr._Phibes How cities in the U.S. are closely crowded compared to Australia. --------------------------------------- If you would like to receive the show notes in your email with links for things mentioned in episodes, go to holbrooknewmedia.com.

One of the things we pride ourselves on with this show is that we talk to tomorrow’s indie filmmaker’s today, such is the case with one of our early guests, Writer/Director – Alrick Brown, who’s back to discuss the incredible rise of his first indie feature, Kinyarwanda, an intense and moving drama about the people affected by the Rwandan genocide…   Notably the film was shot entirely on location in Rwanda with a cast of all Rwandans and Africans, won the 2011 World Cinema Audience Award at Sundance and is now being distributed by Ava DuVernay’s outfit A.F.F.R.M. (African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement). - How did his team successfully market this NON-COMMERCIAL film? - WHO should be going to film festival with you and what do they do? - How did an UNDERGRAD film student come to EDIT this indie hit? - What festival STRATEGIES did his team deploy to push the film? - How can you manage the HYPE that comes with attention? We’ll drill Alrick on the answers to all these questions and more. Plus, we’ll also be sharing some of our exclusive tips and advice for video freelancers from the all-new Shut Up and Shoot Freelance Video Guide – now available for pre-orders at DownAndDirtyDV.com. It’s not even hitting the shelves for another 2 weeks, but we’re gonna drop some for your ears only on the very next Double Down Film Show. Some say that, “the game is to be sold, not told”, but we don’t care. We’re giving away the film game for free every Wednesday night at 9pm EST. Get a piece while it’s hot, baby!
