Engineer + Views
Whoa, somewhere between today and the past 4 days i've hit 100,000 YouTube views!
Well not really, I'm taking a gander that most of those views are from the same 30-40 people of which 75% are friends/people i know.
No one seems to click "more info" on any of the videos so they don't come here and only 2 or 3 of my friends read this blog but i like that, it's our little secret.
Michael filmed Engineer with my camera on October 26 when they were in CT, i'll have the full info later but for now:
Engineer in CT
^ YouTube Sample 1
^ YouTube Sample 2
Again, all credit for this video goes to Michael I.
I've also been playing around with vimeo the site is fantastic, the quality is basically that of the original wmv's if not slightly compressed and the options and the site design is great. I'm not switching though for a number of reasons:
1) the first and most important being that i'm a stubborn bitter old miser and i hate web 2.0/new media buzz yadda yadda youthful bullshit that the site and CV (busted tee's ring a bell?) tries to be.
2) They make more money then i will ever see while having fun doing it (see point 1)
3) The site is slow, god awfully slow
4) I like me some ugly. (re: youtube)
5) Youtube has a greater user base and the whole point for posting samples is for the greatest amount of people to see it and to download the full video (if they are smart enough to click more info and get the link to archive.org)
In regards to the last point this is not for any sort of glory or recognition, I've said it before and I'll say it again: tell people you shot any one of my videos if it'll earn you points with a lady/dude you've been crushing on, get you a free lunch, impress your friends, whatever. This is a dumb hobby that I continue to keep because it's fun to me and I have no idea what I'm doing (anyone with any sort of background in video/film/photo will tell you this) you ever see American Beauty? Remember the creepy kid with like a drawer full of mini-dv tapes? Yeah...
Anyways it's 4:27 am on 11/11/07 and I'm rambling again for this update. I added a meebo chatbox to the right ---> but i expect only trolls to use it so have fun with that.
I've been in Amherst, MA for three years. The sunrise is fantastic.
