What do you look like on video?

Nood I realized after I said it, that it sounded like I was saying you hurt people, which is not what I was trying to say.
Elspode • Oct 30, 2006 9:23 pm
Upped the ante, indeed. Christ, now I have to decide if I have anything worthwhile enough to say to merit taking a shower and setting up the camcorder. Nah. I think I'll just have someone shoot me conducting a Pagan ritual tomorrow night and post that.
glatt • Oct 30, 2006 9:36 pm
Wow. That's really cool. I feel like I've actually met you now, UT. :)

I share the same reservations as Spode, with the added concern that I have no earthly clue how to get video into YouTube. I have a web cam and a microphone. What then?
lumberjim • Oct 30, 2006 9:41 pm
pah. I've met Undertoad. he's 100 feet tall, and breathes fire out of his arse. that's photoshopped!
zippyt • Oct 30, 2006 9:43 pm
Dude , NO FAIR !!!
I am stuck with dial up !!!!!
AHHHHHHHH !!!!!
Undertoad • Oct 30, 2006 9:43 pm
That's all I have. I had to figure out how to force it to use the mic on the web cam, but once I did that, it was easy.

For me, Logitech "quick capture" captures the video (i set it for 320x240) and pops it into media player; find the carefully hidden File menu and "Save As" to a file somewhere; upload the file in YouTube, where they convert it automatically to Flash video and put it into their template.

The hardest part was getting used to the idea of talking at the thing, and then setting up some interesting lighting.
Aliantha • Oct 30, 2006 9:44 pm
lol...I know how you feel zippy. I've given up. I'll try having a look next week.
Undertoad • Oct 30, 2006 9:45 pm
Ah yes, and the one thing I did video wise was to crank the color saturation down a little bit, because in this really low lighting it made it look better.
footfootfoot • Oct 30, 2006 10:04 pm
OH piss. now I have to go out and buy a frickin video camera thingy.

That's better anyway, I'm much more charming on video than in print.

Holy crap that's awesome.

You talk like a bass player :lol:
That's not a bad thing, btw. It's just distinctive. It's the cadence, the humor, the whole package. It screams musician, and bass in particular.

I'm like "The Band Whisperer". Maybe I'll get a show.

no offense on whatever it was that was going to make me mad. Metrosexuals don't just go to hell, btw. They go to hell where there is only generic shampoo and NASCAR.

:notworthy @ UT

I'm bummed. I have slowly lost my technological edge at home. Scanner isn't working, so no handwriting samples (no cell either), no camera, no way to video. I would LOVE to participate in these...I feel like I know you all.

So, Sundae Girl, when you win the lottery, please change my request. I would like a brand spankin' new computer with all the bells and whistles, along with high speed internet. Throw in satellite TV, too, if you can.

This thread made my day!
Sundae • Oct 31, 2006 9:28 am
Your wish is my command, although in real life I'm still trying to save enough to afford a landline so I can get online at home....

Can't wait til this place empties out so I can listen to the clips - it'll be cool to hear all your accents! I'll have a go at this using the video clip option on my camera. Again, will have to wait for this place to be empty.

Damn if this carries on I might even start wearing makeup to work again!
rkzenrage • Oct 31, 2006 10:29 am

HELP!
Can someone tell me how to attached the YouTube video so it looks like the others'?

I tested it on my first video (a test one of my desk) and it just came up with the source code as text, not a picture. My video is all ready to rock & roll.

Sorry for being dim - just thought someone else might have the same problem if they're a YouTube virgin like me.
glatt • Oct 31, 2006 2:00 pm
I'm also a virgin, but UT posted instructions here
Sundae • Oct 31, 2006 2:12 pm
Okay, can't even work it out with Glatt's help. Link attached, if someone can link it for me I love you long time (though you may not take me up on it after watching)

Hmm.

I have purchased a few video rigs before, and I would recommend the Sorenson VP100 for videoconferencing, and I really like the Logitech Quickcam for Notebooks Pro. That's the one we got for DaughterofV. The avatars range from funny to hysterical. The quality is excellent as well.

As to the second point, I won't be buying one for myself as you have already seen my best: text. Sorry.

BTW Shawnee - sod's law is just the principle that things will always go wrong when it is most important that they don't. In other words the evening I least want to be interrupted by a senior member of staff is the evening I am most likely to be - according to the law of sod.

Wow, the accents really change things for me. SundaeGirl, I always read your posts with a British accent, but your voice is a lot breathier than I imagined. UT, you definitely sound like you're on the East coast, this will totally change how I hear your posts in my head.

Of course I don't count myself as having an accent, although people here (Leics) think I'm right posh. And yes, I am naturally breathy - when I have a cold I sound like that kid from Malcolm in the Middle :)

I'm pretty damn good at identifying British & Antipodean accents (could never mistake a Kiwi for an Aussie!) but hopeless at American accents unless they're really strong. Looking forward to hearing some Southern & Western accents certainly.

Murphy's Law! I knew there was an international equivilant - just couldn't think of what it was.

That's hysterical. People around here are always asking where I'm originally from, since it obviously can't be Texas with my accent. :) It's pretty bland midwest, with a hint of New Jersey from my dad. My voice is pretty low for a woman's though, not as low as Kathleen Turner but I was told as a 13-year-old that I had a "smoker's voice."

It is pretty fun to do, though. I think i'll practice a little, and re do it without the "motherfucker" in there some day.

I did the whole hood thing because it fitted in with my image of being a lurker (ie. shy of posting, somewhat mysterious, posts only short and forgettable things). I even switched off a couple of lights to make it more dark and lurker-ish, heheh. (I didn't expect to be called cute though, :redface:)

Great singing LJ - listened to it in the shop on Sunday, and a regular customer asked what I was listening to. Was unaccountably embarrassed at being on a forum and just stammered out, "Oh a friend". She was impressed at my international, talented circle of friends :)

Glatt - you don't sound anything like I expected! But like Bri says, very sexy. Although I know people on this site are furriners, sometimes I ascribe a voice to them anyway. For some reason you've always had a Gloucestershire accent in my head....

I don't play but I do sing.

Too limited to do it professionally, but have done backing vocals for friends, sung in choirs (sang at the Royal Festival Hall and the Royal Albert Hall) and amateur dramatic musicals.

Rambling way to say I have limited talent but great enthusiasm. Growing up Catholic I learned to sing without embarrassment very early - my poor sister-in-law looked terrifed on her first Christmas with us, belting out songs from the musicals in the kitchen. She just joins in now.

If someone starts a song thread I'll find my battery charger & sing you a song. Well, a verse anyway. Hey, maybe we can wait a month and do Christmas Carols?

I'm still sorta Twilight Zoning about the changes I made at Youtube having had any effect on the playability of my video here.

Whoooooop! Whoooop!
Fantastic!!!

Loving the videos - thank you.
Now to my British ear those sound like two different accents, rather than different versions of the same accent (if you get what I mean). Did the two of you grow up in different parts of the country?

Elspode I cracked up when you said Underturd. Am still laughing now just typing it.
Elspode • Nov 13, 2006 1:12 pm
Whoa! Underturd? No way...I did *not* say that...nor would I. UT is my idol, I could never be that disrespectful, not even for a cheap joke.

Selene is always tell me, "enunciate, enunciate". Now I know why.

I've lived my entire life right here in the Midwest of the USA. Selene is from here, but lived all over the US and in Saudi when growing up, so her accent is likely a lot different. That, and she's first generation out of the Missouri Ozarks, so there's probably a little bit more twang to her than there is to me.
Sundae • Nov 13, 2006 1:22 pm
I will always hear your name as Elspurrrrd in my head now.
Elspode • Nov 13, 2006 1:39 pm
I'm trying to remember if anyone besides me has *ever* spoken the word "elspode" before that video was made. I don't think so, not to my knowledge.

So, how would I inflect this were I speaking with a British accent? L-spew'd?
Sundae • Nov 13, 2006 1:49 pm
Ls-po'd
Where Po rhymes with Hoe
Ah. At least my pronunciation of Hoe anyway
Gets complicated doesn't it?

Not making fun btw - I love regional variations, even in Britain. Accents put music into everyday speech.
Undertoad • Nov 13, 2006 2:19 pm
I didn't hear it when I watched yer vid Spode! I think I would have noticed.
LabRat • Nov 13, 2006 2:39 pm
:bawling: Dammit. When I click on either Els or Selene's videos, it says 'loading', then jumps right to 'share' or 'watch again'. Clicking watch again doesn't make it play. I'll try again later. :(

Edit: All of them do this. It's likely the computer I am on. (I'm on the 'scope, not in my lab) I'll try again later and on a different machine.
Sundae • Nov 13, 2006 3:16 pm
Perhaps we could have a Dwellars By Request thread - where we request words & phrases to be read to us on video....

Okay I can't justify it in the slightest, I'd just personally like to get the Jazzman, the Asian Chick, the Muso, the Late Night DJ, the Surfer and The Mother of the World to read a list of random words. Some to catch their accents, some just to be rude!

Or bliney - can you image UT reading The Night Before Christmas? Like cracking Creme Brulee with an ice pick (aggressive but sexy)

Forgive me, I'm about to leave and am perhaps a little hysterical.
Elspode • Nov 13, 2006 3:16 pm
Does it do it when you go to Youtube directly? Try that, and search for the videos by using 'selene', 'elspode' and 'cellar' as keywords.
Sundae • Nov 13, 2006 3:23 pm
I can access it straight from the Cellar so I can't help. Also via You Tube search.

I thought rati was a type of indian curry....or a bread or something from an indian restaraunt...

I just got this mac hooked up to the broadband, so I finally got to see all the vids on this thread. Great job kiddliwinkses! I'm very impressed!!! Mostly by your courage, if not the actual words. ;)

Rati
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In Hinduism, Rati is the goddess of passion and lust, and a daughter of Daksha. She married Kama, the God of love.

Yknow because you put all the Telegraph Road stuff into your sig and title, I hadda go back and listen to it. Now I tell you I have treasured this record for two decades, but only this morning did I put it on and realize...

Knopfler is absolutely channelling early Springsteen on that song, and for most of the album too!

I say channelling because I don't think he wants to BE the English Bruce. I think he's not directly copying, he's just intentionally bending Bruce's way. But here's a song that, in the Bruce 1973-1980 tradition, talks about ordinary life in the crappy industrial suburbia of north Jersey, I mean, northern English coal towns or whatever you want to invoke with it. And why not put a little clean tinkly piano behind the loud parts like Bruce's David Sancious would do? And tell Pick Withers, who has a trademark light touch, to slam that snare really hard like Max Weinstein would do.
Elspode • Nov 15, 2006 10:37 am
Ibby, I didn't *hear* any Willie the Pimp. I *do* know it, fer sure.

"I'm a little pimp with my hair greased back..."

the fact that his hands dont rise in perfect unison bothers me :scared:

That was always my response to someone shooting a bird at me... until the cane/wheelchair of course. If I tried now, I would just tip-over. That would not have the same effect.

xoxoxoBruce • Nov 21, 2006 6:10 am
I can see it now. :D
Hagar • Nov 21, 2006 6:10 am
Ok, fixed the "Marked Private" bit. I'll have a go at a better (and slightly more revealing) one tomorrow... What's there is a bit pathetic.
Clodfobble • Nov 21, 2006 11:47 am
Hagar, you sound just like the Take Home Chef we have on TV... maybe you don't have that show though.
Sundae • Nov 21, 2006 12:34 pm
Great to hear from you Hagar!

Now we just need two more from you
- 1 reasonable length face to face
- 1 of a drive (with commentary) through the beautiful Australian summer

Or is that being greedy?

I finally just got a chance to watch the videos, most excellent job by everyone! Thanks for taking the time and effort to share!!!

All I have is the video feature on my digital cam, no computer at home. Maybe I'll try to get something to work. Too cool.

Do it. It should be as easy as getting pictures posted. Just upload to YouTube and do the embedded video link thing.

I wish more dwellars were doing this.

Oh dear - there's something wrong with the sound quality on that. I'd be hard pushed to work out what language you are speaking!

Joking aside - thanks for being a good sport. Lovely to see you!
But crikey me, it's not what I expected at all!
When I finally make my fabled visit to Pittsburgh I am going to have to get a translator :rolleyes:

Oh lord, I wish I'd been on my laptop with my webcam going when I watched that. I don't always laugh out loud when I find something funny (my humour usually manifests in the mind not in the belly) but I'm still snorting now.
Thank you, thank you that really made my night!

I promise I will make one in return, at my most English (or my most incomprehensible - still deciding!) It's unlikely to be before tomorrow night though.

Whoa. Way to go FStop for bringing this to the top of the pile! Very nice to meet you!!

I never got around to doing this, or the house tour video yet, but I will, I will. On a couple videos I've posted, you can hear me laugh in the background, but that's about it. Interesting that as much as I love to talk in person, when it comes to making a video, I'm totally freaked out. Go figure.
FStop • Aug 14, 2008 1:10 pm
hehe. It's okay. Glad you enjoyed the videos.
Credit Sundae for bringing it up. She found out I'm in Pittsburgh, and wanted to hear my accent. ;)
Sundae • Aug 14, 2008 6:35 pm
Videos like buses - you wait all year and then three come along at once.
I'm tired. I screwed up the first two.
Then I figured they were more revealing than the one I kept!

Just with all the consonants eaten up...

Love it, love it, love it. Thank you so much, bloody brilliant. You're a doll. I needed that. I almost lost balance on seeing those bloopers for the first time. I've made your night, and you in return have made mine. I, along with LabRat, would definitely dig meeting up. Almost makes all obligations and ties here in the States null and void. Wish it were so. Cheers. :D
