My first video podcast

Okay, so I just finished my first video podcast. It was a relatively easy process. I was able to write my script, shoot it all and edit it down in a relatively quick manner. The thing that took me the longest to create was the opening sequence (and that was only because I was so indecisive on what I wanted graphics wise).

So, I edited the actual podcast in about 20 minutes, but it took me about an hour to get my opening graphics sequence like I wanted it.

I think that I will be able to reuse the graphics for the next two video podcasts though, so in the future it will not take me nearly as long.

Justin--

I thought that your first poscast was a good one. The hour you spent on the opening sequence was time well spent. The animation grabbed my attention, and from the few conversations I have had with you, I also thought it represented who you are. However, I am jealous that it only took you 20 minutes to edit the rest of your podcast. Oh well, that's something I'll have to deal with. I did like the pace with which you spoke. It was clear and easy to follow. I also thought that the overall casual vibe of your podcast was good as well. The one that did bug me though, was that your shirt matched the wall color of your office. I like matching, but you blended in with your surroundings too much. Similarly, I was also distracted by all of the stuff you had in the office. The scene was a little too busy, and you didn't stand out quite enough. However, you did follows the rule of the thirds, which made the shot more interesting. I liked the pictures that you used to complement your discussion of your hobbies. They did change too quickly; I wasn't able to really look at them. Overall, I liked your podcast. The laid back nature of your discussion and editing complemented the medium, and what you were talking about. I think if you make yourself more prominent in future podcasts, they will be even better.

Your podcast was good - really good in fact. I liked the graphics at the first, I'm just jealous that it didn't take you long. You gave some insightful information into your background as well as your future with the class. I think you're going to do just fine, without any headache in the editting stages. The actual taping that you did was an interesting take on the whole situation. The sort of side shot gave a view that was not typical, but nice. If you were to change anything, I would suggest a place not so busy - but it wasn't a distraction or anything. Nice job and I look forward to more!

Your introduction to your podcast was interesting and very high tech (for a newbie like me) I enjoyed the different camera angles and the changes they brought to your video. It may have been my connection, but at some points it seemed liked your voice was not lined up with the video. I liked how you put in pictures about your outside activities and let us in on more of who you are. I look forward to seeing what else you do since you have so much more experience in filming and editing.
The start of your paper sounds interesting and like you could take it into a lengthy project, especially with how popular blog studies have become. Good luck and I look forward to seeing what you create next!

Great job!!! You look a professional video expert. Well, actually, you are:) I like how you design the background; video screens and frames...Your podcast was not that short but I felt it was so quick. You put all of information with excellent time control.
I’m totally with you that you mentioned that video is an interactive medium. It reminds Youtube or any other video on Internet. I really want to look further how you do research social presents and blogging. It could be really interesting topic and come up with the lots of Internet issues. Your podcast is a technically well-organized podcast.
