OK, this is one of our more interesting projects...Put Lynyrd Skynyrd and 4000 fans on a Carnival Cruise in the Carribean...that's the Simpleman Cruise. This vid is footage from 2008, visit simplemancruise.com for more details (and if ya like Skynyrd, sign up for 2009). We were on the boat for 4 days interviewing passengers and band members, releasing daily video over the shipboard A/V system, and gathering material for a 12 part web series to be released through fan forums, etc. As Bostonian yankees, it was quite an experience...

From Beet.tv: Sarah Meyers [of] daily show Pop17, a joint production with Rocketboom... Like superstar blogger Robert Scoble who has both an edited and a live show at fastcompany.tv, Sarah two as well. Robert uses QIK. Sarah uses Flixwagon. Both use the Nokia N95. Beyond the live audience for these video casts, the clips are saved and archived by both services. Earlier this month, YouTube announced an API to allow streams from QIK and Flixwagon to upload directly to YouTube. Robert reported this first on QIK earlier this month. Flixwagon announced the news on it's blog a few days later. It is the archival use of these video that is the promise of this new technology. In addition to live uploading, Sarah explains later in this interview how the 3GP files on the Nokia can be downloaded into a editing system. This is the key: access to the live video clips after the fact for editing into more polished pieces. Shozu (coupled with blip.tv) would be pretty good for this (in a near-live kinda way) if they dropped their 10mb upload limit.

Continuing to figure out Qik.com, a platform for live streaming video video from your phone. We're trying to integrate it with mogulus.com, which is not as easy as they pretend. Video shot on N95.
