vog (a BETA videoblog)

This is the video that was used in the vogma manifesto post. This was the manifesto I wrote outlining what I thought videoblogging should be. I still subscribe to these ideas.

The video was shoot on the bus from Oslo airport into the city, I played with the sound by taking a shorter duration of sound from the QuickTime clip and then stretching it in QuickTime Pro to match the image track. The film uses a QuickTime text track but it now renders the text very oddly so I have embedded this at twice it's size, which actually looks better.

The original post (and manifesto):
