5Across video panel on PBS’s MediaShift
Last week I was part of a video panel for a new show called 5Across, hosted and created by MediaShift’s Mark Glaser. As part of this beta for their monthly episodes, we discussed topics such as how we started in our new media video careers, professional vs. amateur video, distribution methods and more.
With me on the show was Irina Slutsky, Mark Day, JD Lasica, and Eric Elia. Full video is below, and you can see the video segments by topic on their site. We didn’t agree on everything, of course, but it was great to sit down and chat with other people in our industry.

Revision3 definitely represented big time in this video, can you spot them all? Thanks for the mention, brentalfloss! On a totally unrelated note, I forgot to tell you guys that I blacked out during District 9. As a fear response! It’s not even scary! Can you imagine what would happen to me in a real

It’s no secret that iPhone applications are a breakout hit for Apple, even beyond their own expectations. Because of this, a culture of app fanatics is popping up online, which include a slew of new podcasts and video shows that cater to people looking for the best and brightest apps out there. Frankly, with all

BuzzFeed 9 Seconds 5/5/09 from BuzzFeed on Vimeo. BuzzFeed asked me to pick a few of my favorite stories from today and try to recap them in nine seconds! I was a little rushed at the end as the clock started ticking down, but I got it all out. It was fun to edit some

As an eighties baby, these songs often haunt me in my dreams. Actually, a-ha’s “Take on Me” was the second song I ever downloaded on iTunes! So the sickness runs deep. Anyhow, Josh pointed me to these posts on Laughing Squid, and I got a huge kick out of these literal translations, created by Dust
Soulja Boy: The next Yahtzee?

I saw the following video yesterday on Joystiq, in which rapper Soulja Boy does his damnedest to explain the brilliant game Braid to his YouTube audience. But then today I was talking to Josh, and he said something even more brilliant: “He is the next Yahtzee.” Let’s compare (and btw, neither of these videos are
New Media Expo in Vegas, baby! Yeah!

Wow, an Austin Powers reference? Really? And I thought I was above that… Anyhow, next week I’ll be at the New Media Expo in Las Vegas, primarily to give a workshop with my esteemed colleague Tom Merritt (of Buzz Out Loud, Real Deal, East Meets West, The Sword and Laser, and CNET TV fame). Holy

Here’s a mini-FAQ for my part in Qore: So is Rev3 involved in any way? Or are you working for both Rev3 and Sony’s Playstation unit now? Nope! Rev3 is not involved in any way. Technically, I work for Future US, the publishers of such magazines as Playstation: The Official Magazine, PC Gamer, and MacLife.
Introducing Qore!

Today the project I’ve been working on for the past two months (other than Tekzilla, of course!) is being announced to the world: Qore, an interactive program on the Playstation Network. I’m really excited about it, and also a little nervous, because it’s unlike anything I’ve done before. As we all know, video can be
Learn espresso from the best

Ryan and I recently became the owners of Rancilio Silvia espresso machine, and since then we’ve been trying to learn the ins and outs of pulling a decent shot. While Ryan has some experience in this area, I’m a total and complete noob. Luckily, our friend Niall steered us towards this great video series that
Veronica on Qik: I’ll try to be more exciting, I promise
about 2 years ago - 34 comments
The folks over at Qik were kind enough to outfit me with a Nokia N95, so I could test out their service. I’ve been quasi-resistant to lifecasting of any kind, for a few reasons: 1. My days are typically very boring. 2. I feel bad shoving a camera into people’s faces and streaming them. 3.

Very cool discussion, enjoyed it!

The one point in the video that stood out to me the most is when it was said that you can tell who’s passionate about what they do. I completely agree with that. The people that love what they do are the ones that do the best shows. You can tell in the first few minutes of a show if the host(s) enjoy what they’re talking about.
I really liked this panel discussion. I’ll definitely watch more of them.

Thanks for the link to the video, it was informative and entertaining. I sent it along to a friend.
I especially agree about being passionate about what you do and also Irina’s comment on producing the content then finding the willing sponsors.

@Veronica the Blip.tv video was enlightening, thanks. I have a non-video creative to bring forth in the future, and you’ve been a big help.
