Cody is joined by comedian and internet person Tamara Lynn Chambers and stand-up comic Kris Simmons to FINALLY get these young'ins in-line with THE LORD. There are a very specific number of millions of children who need to hear it. You can find the book on the internet and inside of the Ark of the Covenant (which used to be represented by a rainbow before the liberal homosexuqueers stole it). Truth For Youth by Tim Todd (and The Lord) Help us bring the message of the Gospel to America’s youth and counter the ill effect of the liberal agenda being promoted aggressively in America’s public schools by helping to provide Truth for Youth® Bibles for every teenager in the United States. The Truth for Youth® is given to every teenager who commits to give the Bibles to their unsaved friends in school. Over 2.5 million Truth for Youth® have already been distributed and thousands of young people are receiving Christ through these efforts! One goal for giving the Truth for Youth® to teenagers is to restore religious freedoms in public school. The main goal of the Truth for Youth®, however, is to bring the message of the Gospel to America’s young people so they might receive Christ and become His disciples. Show Notes: Previous Episodes:3.

Kris Simmons returns to the Digital Convergence Podcast as the Video Business Success Coach. In this episode, he talks about his strategy to turbocharge his video business this year with Relationship Marketing. He’s doing this by getting involved in his community and not being afraid to ask for meetings with business owners and CEO’s. Using his LinkedIn account to reconnect with old contacts, Kris is rapidly reaping the benefits of reconnecting with people in face to face meetings. Kris shares several specific examples of the value of making personal connections.

In this episode I cover: 1) The return of Rocko's Modern Life and how I met the B-52's while working as a camera operator intern at a local Atlanta TV station. 2) Canon EOS 5D Mark IV rumors are heating up. I talk about the latest information from CanonRumors.com. It looks like the 5D Mark IV will support 4K video, but it does not come with a CFAST card slot. In a few days - perhaps as early as August 25, 2016 - we likely all will have the facts, but will it make a difference? 3) There's a free sound library available that may be of interest to digital media creatives. It's a royalty free library from Red Sky Lullaby. 4) If you are a Final Cut Pro X user, I tell you how you can win a free pass for the 2016 FCPX Creative Summit. And I also tell you about an awesome FCP X resource: fcp.co. 5) Kris Simmons - The Video Business Success Coach - returns to motivate you to put your biz into high gear. Ron Dawson of Radio Film School left us a voice mail with a great question about a topic we did not address in our series “Am I getting paid enough?” Stay tune to hear Ron’s question and Kris Simmons answer to it.

In the last episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast, Kris Simmons (of 6 Strong Media and KRE8 University) and I discussed a question submitted by listener Pat Miller. He gave us a link to a video he produced for a cycling component company he recently produced. After sharing how much time he had invested in the project, he asked us “Am I getting paid enough?” - without telling us how much he got paid to produce the video! In that episode Kris and I shared our thoughts of what the rate should be for a video like the one Pat produced. Our guess was in the thousands - $5,000 to $10,000. After episode 194 aired, Pat Miller emailed us with what he charged and provided additional production details. In this episode we share that with you. Wow! Just, Wow!

Digital Convergence Podcast listener Pat Miller emailed me some time back with the question “Am I Getting Paid Enough?” The question came with a twist - Pat didn’t tell us how much he charged his client for the video in question. I invited Kris Simmons to view Pat’s video before making a response. This episode is our response to Pat's cool question! What do you think? What would you have charged to do a video like the one Pat Miller did?

This episode of the Digital Convergence Podcast is going to be a brief one. It's the result of listener feedback. Longtime DCP listener and supporter Swen Halverson sent me this message: "Recently while listening to one of the Video Business Success Coach segments I found myself wanting to listen to previous ones on a similar topic and thinking it would be too much trouble to find them because they're mixed in with the rest of the episode. Then I thought: I would pay $25-$80 for access to an organized list of all the business video success coach segments! I Know that would take some work so I wouldn't expect you to do it for just me but I do think you should ask your listeners if there are others who would do the same." Unfortunately, Swen was correct. It's really hard to find and locate a specific topic. The Video Business Success Coach segment is usually buried deep within each Digital Convergence Podcast episode. There's no timestamp to take you directly to the segment, nor is there a comprehensive, topical list of episodes. There is no easy way to search for a previous segment. Kris Simmons and I went back over our archive of Video Business Success Coach segments and were surprised at how many of these segments we had produced over the last year or so. Thirty seven segments totally nearly 12 hours of valuable, actionable content for video producers and digital media creatives. So we decided to extract all 37 Video Business Success Coach segments, remove extraneous music and bits, and tighten up the edit, and publish these audio files in a product that makes it easy to browse, download, and listen. But we didn't stop there! We did not want this product to be just a rehash of content that's already available for free in the podcast (although it is difficult to find and locate topics within the podcast). We wanted to add more value to you. Kris generously provides over 5 hours of recorded coaching calls (video recordings and archived chat to go along with each session). He also provided his best selling ebook: The Six Figure Videographer. It's available as a downloadable PDF file. Today, I'm stoked to be offering the very first course available in my new Creative Method Academy: The Video Business Success Coach - Season 1. This course is normally $97. However, for a limited time the course will be available for an introductory price of $47. Use the coupon code DCP when you check out and save $50 off the regular price. I look forward to seeing you on the inside of the Creative Method Academy!

I talk with filmmaker and artist, John Reuter, who is creating a fascinating documentary on the extraordinary Polaroid 20X24 camera. John has worked with Polaroid since the 1970’s and has served for a number of years as the director of the Polaroid 20x24 project. In this episode, you will hear a fascinating account of the history of the mammoth Polaroid 20x24 camera and John's effort to document in video it's story and the remarkable people who have used it. Later in the podcast, Video Business Success Coach, Kris Simmons, considers: When does it make sense to buy new gear and the best way to finance new gear purchases? The answer may surprise you!

Education has long been a recurring theme on the Digital Convergence Podcast. I’ve promoted a number of educational resources and events for digital media creators ranging from live events to on-demand learning. Lynda.com, Kelby, Groove3, macProVideo, Academy of Story Tellers, Shane’s Inner Circle for Digital Filmmakers, KRE8 University and CreativeLive are just a few examples. Webinars with screen sharing (using GoToWebinar or Google Hangouts) provide an interactive learning environment. Today’s guest on the DCP brings a different approach to online learning for video professionals. Chris Weiher, founder of Watch Me Work, has created a platform that essentially allows you to watch and chat with creative professionals work. Watch Me Work recently took 3rd place out of 29 startups at the Atlanta Startup Riot - with many of the competing startups having a much longer start up track record than Watch Me Work. In this episode I also take a few minutes to respond to feedback about the recently announced Canon XC10 4K camcorder. As expected, this camera has had a bit of a polarizing affect among pro video producers. Kris Simmons and I got really busy over the last couple of weeks so we were not able to record a Video Business Success Coach segment. Don’t worry! We will be getting to together to record this week.

The new Canon XC10 4K camcorder and the C300 Mark II (now with 4K internal recording) were announced just prior to the start of NAB 2015. I share my thoughts on these two cameras in episode 154 of the Digital Convergence Podcast. The Video Business Success Coach, Kris Simmons, explains why you should pay yourself first in your video production business.

Writer and director, Ben Hess, and director of photography and editor, Ted (Thaddeus) Setla, talk about their latest collaboration: a documentary based on a real sexting event that happened to Ted's young daughter. The documentary examines the emotional journey and potential consequences for the kids and family when inappropriate images are shared among friends at the age of 11. The Video Business Success Coach, Kris Simmons, explains the "Outbreak" Marketing Method - how video producers can infiltrate a corporate account and spread like a virus leading to repeat jobs and increased profits.

Video Business Success Coach Kris Simmons takes on the hot topic of the commoditization of video pros.  Kris and I decided to do this episode after hearing this quote in an information product pitch: "There is an over-abundance of videographers and editors." The marketers go on to claim that you can hire videographers for $15 to $30 per hour and hire an editor for $100 and turn around and resale the video for $2000 to local businesses.  I don't know about you, but I want to make more than $15 an hour for my video work. What's a video pro to do? Kris Simmons has some tough love to help us get beyond the perception of the commoditization of video professionals.

Part 2 of interview with Michael Cardillo–an Independent Sound Designer specializing in audio for video. He was on staff with Crawford Communications in Atlanta, Georgia from 1999-2007, where he did sound design and mix-to-picture for broadcast promos, advertising, documentaries, independent films and various other video projects. Since then, he has struck out on his own through his company Cardillo Designs, which specializes in audio editing, mixing and sound design for broadcast, advertising, and corporate/training video projects. In this episode Michael continues to expound on the point that we should not always prioritize picture over sound. He talks about the hierarchy of sound–analogous to layers in Photoshop. Michael shares several audio tricks of the trade. He discusses the differences between editing and mixing. He explains why the audio edit should be longer than the video edit. He states that as a sound editor and mixer, you must listen and use your ears–you cannot just follow a set recipe. Michael explains why sound is important in controlling how the audience feels and how to accomplish that in your mix.

Daniel McCarthy, owner of Music Bed, helps us understand the issues in selecting and licensing quality music. One the greatest artistic challenges for digital filmmakers is finding and legally using music in your video. Understanding the complexity of licensing music requires someone who knows the industry inside and out. What is royalty free? What does managed rights mean? What are synchronization fees? And what about performance royalties, needle drops, BMI/ASCAP, YouTube, Vimeo, DVD's, streaming vs downloads - how do you chose the right license? What’s a filmmaker to do?  Daniel talks about how Music Bed helps filmmakers find the right song and appropriate license for their movie. Also in this episode, the video business success coach, Kris Simmons, talks about the power of adding a zero can help you grow your business.

This month, Cody and Ranjit are joined by Kris Simmons, stand-up comedienne and co-producer of Double-Shot Showcase in Evanston, IL, to discuss pastor Scott Lively and Kevin Abrams’ ‘The Pink Swastika’–a piece of rhetorical gymnasticism which aims to prove that the Holocaust was a homosexual action. Pesky, pesky homosexuals indeed. The book is available online for free here: http://archive.org/details/ThePinkSwastika. Tomefoolery does not suggest purchasing the book, as it has the potential to fund hate organizations (or make you look creepy when someone looks at your bookshelf).

My heavily-medicated sister fills in as an emergency guest, and is funny enough that pain medication will be mandatory for all future guests. Kris Simmons sets a horrible precedent by arriving prepared with actual facts. Topics include the Supreme Court's decision on health care reform, Adele's pregnancy, and Mississippi abortions, but we end up spending the most time discussing strippers, foreign and domestic, literary and literal.
