One of the reasons for the waiting period between updates is the amount of time it takes to make each video blog entry.  They way I'm doing it now involves a lot of steps.

I think the green-screen background replaced with images looks better than the usual headshots from a web cam, but which is better; more video blog entries of lower production value or less with higher production value?  Because the purpose of my video blog is to share with you what I'm working on, talk about the site and the community, I tend to err on the side of the more the merrier, but I should really be asking my visitors, who are kind enough to watch my rambling tirades, what they think.

So, what do you think?

Here are the current steps involved in producing each video blog entry.

1. Stand in front of green screen turn studio lighting on;
2. Record video blog entry;
3. Download to computer via firewire;
4. Open in video editing program (adobe premiere);
5. Edit segments;
6. Remove green-screen with keying effect;
7. Place images in background;
8. Render movie in quicktime or .wmv or .mpg;
9. Upload to Veoh Pro;
10. Syndicate to Google, Youtube, and re-upload to yahoo;
11. Post blog entry with embedded video.

As you can see that's kind of a lot of steps; enough that I usually only get around to getting all that done at most once every week, but more like once every two weeks.  By cutting out steps and lowering the production quality a bit, I could potentially get to the level of being able to video blog twice a week or more.

Anyways, that's one of the things on my mind this weekend.  I'm at a loss for time, but want to keep the quality of this website high and continue building community here; as always, I'm open to suggestions and comments.
