Orlando’s First Network of Podcasting
This reminds me of an old joke…
A smurf, a dragon-lady, and a witch doctor walk in to a bar. The robot bartender asks…
Curious about the lineup of this band, I dug a bit and discovered a link to Hannah, Brian Feldman’s wife, who he married for artistic and political reasons last week.
Who thought this was a good idea? ORLANDO TO THE EXTREME!
All the right video clips, all the WRONG edits, effects, and titles. I seriously want to barf right now.
Give ANYONE with 3 ounces of talent access to your video library - there are some really great things in there, I’m sure, and you must have spent so much money capturing and acquiring all of that footage (or someone did), why would you then let a 3-year-old with a mouse and keyboard near it?
I apologize to the person who did the editing - you may have just been following orders, but they were BAD orders.
Keep watching until the end, you get to see the finished commercial spot.

Jessica Earley is a fairly recent Orlando transplant. I first saw her work during a Puppet Slam at the Orlando Puppet Festival.
Jessica then went on to perform several pieces with a Mr. Brian Feldman, of wide renown in Orlando for his outdoor, public, time-based performance art. I also saw Jessica’s piece titled “I want your sympathy” at the Orlando Museum of Art’s First Thursdays, and I participated in her outdoor gallery event , “Blunder Bungle”, held at the aptly named “Museum of my Neighbor’s Backyard”.
Jessica also caught my attention when she signed up for twitter for exactly one day. Then, the 10,000th day she was alive, she paraded from her home to local hangout Stardust Video & Coffee in a parade of one, which was 10,000 steps long.
This video seems to be starring Jessica, though I don’t know who shot and edited the piece. The YouTube page for the piece says it’s a music video for a Chicago-based artist named Maigin Blank.

Chris Zabriskie is a good friend of mine, and a damn fine filmmaker. This month, he put together a little video with some amazing stuff from the hit TV show LOST.
I saw this on a blog Chris co-writes for called Retro Low Fi (full disclosure, Marc from RLF and I do a podcast called Pop Means Cuddle, I used to be in his band).
As of right now, this video has 226,005 views and counting. Way to go, Chris.

59 times out of 60, Orlando Video highlights a clip made right here in Sunny Floria, but today I must give props to two gentleman more talented and dedicated than myself at showing off cool videos. Their names are Jim Kirk and Chuck Baker, and their talent produces many podcasts, one of which is The Clip Show. I really have to hand it to them for following the KISS methodology and just keeping things super-simple. The show within the show that you see The Heap, actually gets it’s own web site and feed, because they write and produce things that last 2 to 10 minutes and just get it over with.
This particular episode of the Clip Show doesn’t follow the familiar format, where they rate video podcasts on the C.O.G.D.N. Rating System, which is a modest scale of 1 to 13 COGDN, 13 being knock your socks off amazing. In fact, the reason why I linked to this episode is to direct you readers to 13 shows you should really check out, a great sampling of video podcasts. Add these 13 shows to your iTunes / Miro / FireAnt player, or visit each web site individually each week and get a cramp in your hand from all the clicking like I know so many of you do, but give all of these shows an equal chance.
Visit the Clip Show and make sure you subscribe!

I’ve been reading the Graphics Technology program’s blog from Valencia Community College for as long as it’s existed, I think. The best part is: it’s an interesting read! There are always students winning awards, getting jobs and the like, and now there are videos, too!
Amanda Kern writes:
I’ve uploaded six new projects from my Interactive Design 1 course to share with you all. Last semester I began assigning a new typographic animation project which has had some great results. You’ll just have to check out the videos for yourself. Enjoy!
A BIG thanks goes out to Digital Media Professor, Rob McCaffrey, who was instrumental in spearheading our new youtube account. Keep an eye out for new videos by visiting Valencia’s digital media/graphics youtube account directly.
I know I’m going to continue keeping an eye on this blog for more videos. It looks like these were captured with a screencasting software instead of exported from Flash. There are also several more examples of animated type on the blog post where I found this video, so go check them out.

Jason Hawkins is a winner. We’ve featured his SOLMI videos here before, and now he’s creating lots of video for other folks in town. I dig his motion graphics, camera work, and the way he (or his camera) captures color.
Also, props to Jason Seifer. Kissy face? Nice work, broseph.
On a very serious note, if you’re reading this blog, you should make plans to go to BarCampOrlando and do a presentation - if you’ve got short films, this is a great captive audience to show them in front of - 20 minute time slots. If you do a podcast or vlog, work in television, motion graphics, design, or anything of the sort, the second day in particular will be of interest to you and you should really sign up to present. As I said on my blog about BarCamp:
I’m recruiting presenters and attendees for the New Media Day. Be there, bring your A-game. (your B-game is equally welcome)
At the last event, I think everyone’s understanding that there were going to be some crazy awesome presentations as well as some mediocre ones was not very solid. I spoke to a few people who presented and said “I thought I was going to be all by myself in a room with like 5 guys all scratching their chins, but I was SO wrongâ€Â, the other half of them said “I thought about presenting, but I didn’t think I was ‘good enough’, but then I saw it was just a bunch of guys like me, so I’m going to blow them all out of the water this timeâ€Â.
Really, those are you only two options. You should have either presented at last year’s BarCamp, or decided that you were definitely presenting at the next one. If you weren’t there, then take my word for it and create a presentation. Really.

blissink, have we ever met? I don’t think so, but we’ve sure bumped into each other in oh so many places around the web.
blissink is a ‘zine writer, designer and a father. The last role is important because I think his kids are doing the voices on this video. According to my friend Aleshia:
These are very violent.
It’s interesting though, because it’s not explicit, but it is very violent. We’re no stranger to desktop theatre here, and the Robot Chicken Generation is certainly blossoming through YouTube and other video sharing sites.
It appears blissink is doing a series of these Star Wars/LEGO videos. Under the banner of blissink, he’s also acted as a designer for the ELLA Music Festival, which we here at Liberatr had a bit to do with.
This doesn’t feel like a regular Orlando video post, but I’ll end it the traditional way by saying that we accept submissions, and I’d love to find out about you and your latest projects if you’re making videos in the Central Florida area. All you need to do is email me < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >.

You can check out my full post about Orlando Puppet Festival over at BloggingFringe.com, but here’s the short version:
This weekend, a parade of puppeteers will precipitate through downtown in an un-pompous display of consonance…. or they’ll just knock your socks off with some kickass puppeteering. This isn’t the stuff your nieces and nephews are watching on Nickelodeon, we’re talking real theatre with one of the oldest art forms in the world as the showcase.

The giant skull on the front of a building on I-Drive always made me think of Skeletor’s Castle from my old He-Man toys. Now all the space will do is house an outlet T-shirt shop and 3 Starbuck’s Coffee bars.
From the YouTube page:
Skull Kingdom,one of Orlando Florida’s Landmark Attractions on International Drive. It was a Year-Round Walk-through Haunted House for about 10 years, A Giant Castle with a Skull on the front. They started demolition on Friday,27th July 2007 and will be finished by the end of Saturday the 28th. They started with the iconic Skull Facade, which seemed solid for the years came down like 2 kids attacking a pinyata with chainsaws.
This video is the first in a series, including several from the auction of the interior props and accessories from Skull Kingdom. Robert, who recorded this video, also goes by Bunny, and he performs with the Rich Weirdoes, our own local Rocky Horror cast, at Universal CityWalk’s megaplex theatre.
I also know Bunny does an evening over at Stardust where he dresses up like Groucho Marx and reads poetry. I’ve at least seen it happen once. If I find out any more info about this, come back to this post for dates or links.
This might be Orlando Video’s first revlogging via camera phone, but let’s hope it’s not the last. If you have a camera phone or an interesting video from your friend’s phone, email me at < liberatr AT gmail DOT com > and I’ll see if we can’t get it posted here. I’d also love someone to take up some of the burden of blogging around here. If you want the job, we can share.
OrlandoVideo.TV loves SOLMI (The Society of Likeminded Individuals), as is evidenced by our past coverage. They’ve been making some new videos lately after a hiatus of about 9 months, but everything they’re putting out is just great. Today, I noticed… well… holy hell, zombies!!
I think Brian and Meagan are fantastic on camera (even if I miss the sexual tension from the LOFTS), and I often wonder if Brian has taken improv classes in his past. Their storytelling is awesome, but the critic in me is asking for more Laugh-Out-Loud moments. This is a question of writing, and not meant to take away from the quality of everything else in this video. I’d love to see a list of locations for this short - it feels like there are about 20. Props to Jason and the crew on having some great sound and camera work as well.
If you’re into that sort of thing, please Digg this video for SOLMI.
If you’d like your own compliment sandwich, or you know of a locally-made video you want to see revlogged here, please email me at , liberatr AT gmail DOT com >. Peace.
I believe Mark Baratelli and his Improv Cabaret act need no introduction to readers of this revlog. View posts tagged with markbaratelli here to get some history (please note that some of those videos are about Mark, not created by him).
Mark recently took his 45-minute, fully improvised one-man musical to the New York City Fringe Festival. From the looks of it by this video, he rocked the house. Improv Cabaret got some good reviews in New York, and I know Mark really loves performing. He’s a multidimensional guy with a lot going for him. At this moment he’s rehearsing for the national tour of Irving Berlin’s I Love a Piano, and it’s a shame they’re only passing through Florida.
If you have a better video than this, I’ll hand over the password to OrlandoVideo.TV, no questions asked. If you have a video that’s almost as good, I still want to share it with the world. Please email me at < liberatr AT gmail DOT com >.
