Intro Video as a Brand Video or Brand Statement

This week we discuss the benefits of an intro video.  Should we add one to our YouTube videos. We look at some samples from oztablepc (http://tabletpc.com.au/) and Ben (http://mechanicalmashup.tv/)

MSN Video becomes Bing Video, Should we care?

MSN Video is being replaced by Bing Video.  Bing Video has been re-launched and as online video producers should we be concerned? Should we pay attention to Bing Video at all?

U2 YouTube Live Webcast

This week on the U2 YouTube channel they performed a live webcast for their fans around the world.  We discus this and the archived copy of the video.  We discuss more broadly the benefits of live streaming versus on-demand video.

Online Video Production

Ranking for Online Video production is proving more difficult than I thought it would. I am not getting any traction at all.  In the Mill Park Beautician challenge the Digg that I submitted ranked very early and continues to rank quite well. The two Diggs I did for this challenge are not ranking in the top 200 for the phrase online video production.

Interestingly though the site and the optimised pages have now been indexed by Google they still dont rank at all.  It funny really because if this blog has any themes at all they would be "video" and "online".  Clearly Google though doesn't see this site as an authority on these matters at all.

One possible explanation of not ranking could be the confused linking structure I embarked on when I started this particular campaign and the "back-dating" of content as I wrote four articles all on the same day.  I will expand on this confused linking structure in a later post but hopefully the linking of this article will help boost this flagging experiment, trying to rank for Online Video Production.

Online Video Production

Producing online video for your company is becoming more and more important. Your clients want to "see and hear" if they can "feel" your product.  Camthecameraman has extensive experience in producing video for both offline and online markets.  From full Broadcast quality HD TV shows to "on-the-road" web cam reports, Cameron can handle them all.

Online Video Production requires different strategies to be successful and Cameron can talk you through all stages of production.  Whether its that you just need "a bit of help setting something up" or to hand off the entire production process Cameron can help.

Online Video Production

Online Video Production is something I am very passionate about.  It is also something that this site doesnt rank for, that concerns me on two fronts: One, I should rank for phrases that I am passionate about and can offer value to organisations for and also I have been challenged to rank for phrases hard than the ones I have ranked for previously such as "Zappo the Clown" "Basane" and "Absolute Legend"

As an SEO strategist and video producer I thought it important to rank for a phrase like this and to make my details available for anyone who wants a video producer who fully understands the online space.  My work at industry leaders Stew Art Media allows me to pursue video production for the online space.

This challenge though is more about seeing if I can rank for this phrase "Online Video Production".  I do already rank number one in google.com.au for the phrase "video conversions melbourne" as a result of  an article I wrote on the adwords campaign of a company here in Melbourne.  I will keep the blog updated on this and other ranking attempts.  But his challenge maybe the hardest yet "Online Video Production"

When I started this blog my intention was to come up with original content, I intend to do that but I also feel it is important to highlight great answers written by other bloggers.  I dont want this site to become a pointer to other sites rest assured I will continue to comment and write my own articles.  One of the most common issues I hear when it comes to editing, shooting and encoding (in fact a student here at TAFE just said "Why is this still picture flickering on the monitor)  comes back to interlacing issues.

Problems present as "shimmering" still pictures, jerky or jumpy moving shots to footage that "doesn't look right".  Usually it is caused by multiple software packages treating footage or stills differently or more correctly interpretting the interlaced image differently.  I wont keep writing about this as a far more intelligent and eloquent blogger than myself has written an excellent page of information with diagrams etc on this subject.  Check out http://www.100fps.com
