And those global fan communities are watching more than 6 billion hours of video each month on YouTube; almost an hour a month for every person on Earth and 50 percent more this year than last.

    On Thursday May 9, 2013, Google discussed its plans to offer a video subscription service on YouTube. This came as no surprise, although it’s a departure from their traditional free content approach, to which advertising (and huge revenues for Google) are attached. Some YouTube accounts receive money from video advertisements but the low Cost Per Impression (CPM) YouTube offers doesn’t make advertising worthwhile for most businesses. YouTube is currently limited to select list of partner channels YouTube is currently offering subscriptions to only about 50 select partner channels.  These…

    Michael Buckley isn’t the only YouTuber who is shilling for a soft drink brand. Smosh have released a video called ‘Good vs. Surprisingly Good‘, part of a branded campaign for Sun Drop. The video shows Ian and Anthony turning mundane everyday tasks into surprisingly good variations, often by adding what they call “surprisingly terrible special effects.” The end result is much like any other Smosh video, with lots of loud noises, over-the-top facial expressions, and surreal everything. The branded nature of the video is actually very subtle (perhaps even…

    [ 3:55, eGuider: Orlando Torres ]  El delirio del pez león, or The Lionfish's Delirium, is a fever dream inspired by the lion fish plague that rids the Caribbean waters. As any good film noir, its stark shadows and smoky atmosphere are merely a physical representation of a bigger malaise, in this case, greed and power. A sly social commentary under the guise of a neo-noir under the guise of animation, El delirio del pez león can be merely admired for its sheer beauty, but a deeper immersion proves revelatory and rewarding.

  • El delirio del pez león

    1 May 2013 | 9:00 pm
    [ 3:55, eGuider: Orlando Torres ]  El delirio del pez león, or The Lionfish's Delirium, is a fever dream inspired by the lion fish plague that rids the Caribbean waters. As any good film noir, its stark shadows and smoky atmosphere are merely a physical representation of a bigger malaise, in this case, greed and power. A sly social commentary under the guise of a neo-noir under the guise of animation, El delirio del pez león can be merely admired for its sheer beauty, but a deeper immersion proves revelatory and rewarding.

As I looked closely at the feedback, I could see the learning and the conversation evolve. One student would respond with an an idea, another would chime in. The only problem was that the student who made the original video didn’t know that comments had been left. Problem solved. With the latest version of Ask3 (released 5/10/13), we keep the conversation going. We are…

(As a comparison, ScreenFlow 3 presets used the Apple H.264 codec to encode H.264 format, and wrapped it in a .MOV container). What are Codecs? Codecs are like translators; they tell the program and…

    About a month ago, we had the honor of talking with director Nicolás Alcalá about his crowdfunded and transmediatic film The Cosmonaut. Ever since then, we’ve been waiting with bated breath for the May 18th release of the film — and now, that day is here. After years of raising funds, traveling across Europe, and enlisting thousands of people to become co-creators of their project, the team of at Riot Cinema Collective are ready to unveil their newest creation.

    Remember the Digital Bolex? Despite the fact that most of the camera buzz has been around Blackmagic and Canon (with the RAW video hack of the 5D) for the past month or so, Joe and Elle have just kept on with bringing their vision for the Digital Bolex D16 to fruition. While the final design of the camera is not yet being manufactured, many of the pieces needed to make the camera function out of the box (like a custom-built PL mount and the Kish lenses for the turret) are now nearing completion in time for the release of the camera. Hit the jump to see what the fine folks at Digital Bolex…

    Back in July, UK horror anthology project Blood Cuts reminded us that bedtime stories sometimes contain much more terror than comfort with fifth entry in the series, gothic fairytale Suckablood. More frights, blood and gore have followed since, bringing us now to the eighth chilling instalment, Don’t Move. We get our fright on and talk to Series Producer Ben Franklin about the challenges of upping the Blood Cuts ante with each release after the jump. Join us, if you dare… (more…) The post Eight Down, Five to Go: A Look Inside Horror Anthology 'Bloody Cuts' with Series…

  • Hacked Shootout: Panasonic GH2 vs. 5D Mark III RAW & Magic Lantern Gets Playback/Audio Working

    I don’t recall in recent memory any sort of software with this many updates in such a short period of time, but the folks over at Magic Lantern have been working around the clock, and we’re getting almost consistent updates thanks to the incredible people working on the RAW video hack. Basic capabilities from regular H.264 video are being ported over, and it looks like both playback and audio are working in at least a basic form with RAW video mode — so we should see those at some point. We’ve also got a great little comparison from Luke Neumann showing the RAW Canon…

    The Starcount Social Star Awards are on May 23 and they're getting serious: YouTube stars help Jesse Heiman become a YouTube great through the "most epic montage ever montaged." You know it's on when the montage happens. Don't think for one moment it isn't on with a montage.

    YouTube is tinkering with a new kind of shoppable ad system on the Tresemmé channel. The best part for me: you can actually stay on the channel while you watch videos. The products are in a sidebar and you don't ever get whisked away to another site until you're ready to buy.

    Chris Hadfield's "Space Oddity" highlights Fun Video Friday. But we have a ton more in store: ducks stop a police chase, Epic Meal Time reaches into their horror bag again with a Bacon Arachnid, and Abercrombie & Fitch get their just desserts.

  • Google's New VP9 Codec: Better Video at Half the Bandwidth?

    16 May 2013 | 1:37 pm
    Google wants their new VP9 codec to be royalty-free, but patent disputes could prevent that from happening. Meanwhile, VP9 is supposed to have double the image quality using half the compression of H.264. In other news: H.264 could be H.265 soon, so there's that.
