New Feature: Livejournal cross-posting

Jason Norred — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 12:02:29 -0500

I've set up the site to handle Livejournal cross-posting for any users who want to configure it.

To configure it:
Log into the site
Click the My Account link in the left menu
Click the Edit tab
Fill out the Livejournal Cross-Posting section of your profile. (You can configure several cool settings here)

Then when authoring Blog Posts or News Articles*, you will see an option to cross-post. Check that box, and the post will be published under the author's LiveJournal account as well.

Hope this makes it easier for some of you to get your posts to multiple audiences.

*I will be testing other Content Types later today. You may be able to cross-post Audio and Video posts soon, too.

Missing Andy

Xavier Ashe — Thu, 18 Dec 2008 15:20:01 -0500

I miss Andy. Not the real Andy*, but the virtual one. The one that would have told us all about the SAG awards nominations, so that we could already have firm opinions and weird stories known only by those in the know.

How am I supposed to appear to be a know-it-all if I don't have the original know-it-all giving us the inside loop?

* I miss the real Andy too, but he's probably been to Atlanta more than I have in the last two months. So that that more my fault. Is the real Andy going to be at Festivus?

DigiBeer

Jason Norred — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 12:15:24 -0500

A few of us have been tossing around the idea of working on a homebrew recipe.

The idea is to work on perfecting a recipe and have it bottled and labeled for DragonCon 2009.

Thoughts? What beer type would make the best DigiTribe DragonCon Seasonal Beer?

Wrapping the film

Jason Norred — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 12:08:17 -0500

Well, tonight should be the final night of filming for the $1000 Feature Film.
It's been a long hard ride and as much as we had planned to document much of the process as it was happening - we managed to do the exact opposite and go radio silent for several months.

I only hope that we can make up for that now that the stress of running a weekend production isn't dominating our every thought.

To those that are coming to set tonight - I look forward to seeing you.
To our friends watching and waiting - I hope to have something to share with you soon.

For indie filmmakers...

Andrew Kemp — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 17:28:41 -0400

Thought this was an interesting link -- YouTube getting involved in the indie movie business. I hope this includes better video quality.

Website email problem - solved

Jason Norred — Sat, 06 Dec 2008 12:57:07 -0500

I discovered a problem today that was causing the site to have intermittent problems sending emails.
This means that there were sometimes problems with the Private Message feature of a user's profile... and also that some new users never received their password to log into the site.

This issue has now been resolved and you have no problems receiving emails sent from the site anymore.

Iron Man

Erik Ellickson — Thu, 01 May 2008 23:20:44 -0400

You need to see this movie.

Seriously.

Stay through the credits.

I've learned after watching this movie that one cannot put true greatness into words.

Dirt on footage

Brian Stumpy — Mon, 21 Apr 2008 03:55:51 -0400

Hey guys,
I made a boo-boo in filming my latest (and first so I can chalk it up to that thing called learning) independent feature, and in a few moving scenes there is either dirt or water on the ens/footage. I have attached a picture of the worst scene with dirt in it (there are only two, and in a beach scene, sand is supposed to be on the lens):

I have tried many different filters and many different techniques to try to erase this stuff. I was wondering if you guys had any ideas for me.

Looking for a lighting Kit

Mattatius — Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:51:34 -0400

I saw a lighting topic, but I felt like making my own (that one didn't pertain to my question exactly)...

I'm looking for a good 3-point lighting kit. I'm shooting a film in June, and I'm looking for something that is cheap and good. I've been looking at things like this, http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/shop/2247/Tungsten_Lights_Kits.html, and I really don't know a lot about lighting. So, please... inform me :-)

We could be as cool as these guys

Xavier Ashe — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 16:49:31 -0400

...if only we had one of these.

Where is this month's "Cocoon"?

Jason Norred — Tue, 25 Mar 2008 12:32:45 -0400

Anyone notice that this month's Live From The Cocoon is now 10 days late? If I were you guys, I would flood Joseph with Guestbook entries and Comments demanding your content.

Who does he think he is to not give you guys your monthly music fix??

Likeness Rights

Andrew Kemp — Wed, 26 Mar 2008 19:07:25 -0400

Probably not of interest to those of you who don't know them, but the cover of this novel...

(http://www.amazon.com/gp/reader/0978970764/ref=sib_dp_pt#reader-link)

...looks so much like a very young Jason Norred and Joey the Mad Scientist that they might have to sue over likeness rights. Which one of them is John, why will he die at the end, and will it be at the jaws of the crocolich that has them in its sights?

podcasts

Joseph Rhodes — Fri, 15 Feb 2008 10:15:01 -0500

so i want to ask all of you, as i am heading up this wacky section of the podcasting world...what podcasts would you like to hear? we've got a few ideas but i want to know what the populace wants. fiction, non fiction, music, talk, any ideas. give em to me...

YouTube in High-resolution

Xavier Ashe — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 19:58:01 -0500

http://www.baekdal.com/notes/personal/youtube-high-video-quality/

YouTube has long been the place to watch low-quality videos. While most other video sites allow you to see videos in high-quality, YouTube has stubbornly stuck with its abysmal 320x240. But there is actually a way to boost the quality.

All you need to do is to add "&fmt=6" to the end of the URL.

Here is an example:

* Indiana Jones Trailer in normal YouTube Quality (320x240 - 320kb/s)
* Indiana Jones in higher quality (480x360 - 665kb/s)

While this is a neat trick - only a few of the videos also come in a high-res version. In my test only about 10% of the videos could be viewed in higher quality (I think they are testing it).

But, if the higher quality version setting doesn't work, you can always get the iPod version by adding "&fmt=18" to the URL. This will force YouTube to get the MP4 instead of the low-quality FLV version.

* Indiana Jones in iPod Quality (480x360 - 602 kb/s)

I tried this with Statement, but I think the "iPod version" doesn't look as good. I found this on Baekal.com.
