It's literally the easiest thing you can do in the morning when you wake up.

Violet_Sky posted:Holy poo poo, car commercial is right. Speaking about songs about dead celebrities, I'm sure Todd will be reviewing Cee-Lo's "Robin Williams" soon enough. I'd imagine that it'd be more meaningful if it weren't a comeback single following career-killing controversy. Edit: Now that Todd mentions it, there was a period in the 90's where every other song was a tribute song. Huh.

The only Con I've ever been to was the San Diego Comic-Con several times ('94, '98 and '08). Maybe it's more of a thing with smaller cons?  There are a ton of people, though. It was hard for me to wrap my head around the fact the number of people at Comic-Con was 4x the population of the college town I live in.

Well okay they were pretty standard ancienty adventures with stop motion monsters that were all the rage back then. This one is certainly something.

Blip may be more fair-use friendly, but Youtube simply works better in a multitude of ways. I have a way easier time watching videos using Youtube's interface than I ever have on Blip, not to mention in the last few years there were frequent days where no videos on Blip would load for me at all, or would load incredibly slowly. Youtube evolved, Blip didn't.

As I mentioned before you can upload pretty much anything to the Internet Archive for free and they don't have any kind of copyright filters, though obviously as a digital library they don't offer any kind of monetization. It would make a good "backup" repository to Youtube and if you get all of your revenue from Patreon it might even be viable as a primary hosting site, though their site is nowhere near as polished as any of the commercial video hosting sites.

So fingers crossed - otherwise I might just have to shell out for Vimeo, which probably isn't worth it for me since it'll use up all my tiny amount of patreon revenue. Unless I also develop an interest in making video art or something, in which case I can use vimeo to host videos for my artistic practice. Which still doesn't pay, but at least I could say that it furthers my body of work. Infamous Sphere fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Jul 20, 2015 |

So fingers crossed Here's what I've found through wrestling with Content ID : Any music under twenty seconds has never been flagged for me. I use opening and closing credits songs (much like Zero Punctuation's earliest vids) and they never, ever get flagged because I keep them short. Same goes for video footage, anything under 20 seconds is fine. So if you use cutaway gags keep em short. And use editing to break up clips of whatever you are reviewing. From looking at their stuff, I think that's how Cinemasins does it.

Thanks for the content ID advice! I think I'll just have to see how I go. Some of my older edits especially were way too long. Miss Wallace posted:Oh my gosh, that's exactly me! Like I was trying to explain it to my friends, they didn't get why I couldn't smell really obvious BO but I could smell like rotten garbage. It was like a terrible puzzle. I always feel very confused whenever one of those write-ups about "your sense of smell affects your choice of a mate!" comes out. (There are more reputable write-ups from national newspapers/scientific journals, but I'll just link to that one for convenience's sake.) Well, I wonder two things. One - those studies are only ever about heterosexual relationships, so how do they affect people who aren't straight, or cis for that matter? And two...I've got a rubbish sense of smell and the idea of anyone having their own smell, other than just being really unwashed and stinky, is super weird to me. Unrelated to smell, I'm looking forward to watching that Sinbad video, sounds excellent

Doesn't always work, but I have found it helps. As for the smell thing, it's a shame because I feel a lot of memories are associated with smell, so there is that small regret there. I love the smell of rain, and I wish I could smell more than I do. But there is that advantage of not caring so much about BO, which is great for smelly friends. Hope you enjoy the Sinbad vid!

I think Blip's days were numbered regardless of who bought it. Has that website ever made a significant profit? It seems like it was surviving off of venture capital and corporate money until Maker decided to pull the plug.

My advice would be to do what Kyle's generally been doing. Like, whenever I've modified a clip like that (e.g. sticking it in a lil' box), it's been alright - even if I've used a trailer that's run unedited for a minute or so. Content ID doesn't seem to be able to catch anything like that (to the point where I wonder if SFDebris, say, would actually be OK if he did that - I don't watch his videos, but as long as his editing is OK...). That and the other advice given here - keep the editing fast, don't let clips hang around for too long and so forth.

You can get away with Vimeo Plus instead of Pro: https://vimeo.com/upgrade They sometimes even have half price offers. 5GB weekly upload. Easy to stay under, especially if you pre-transcode your stuff to their recommended format. Downside: no ads to monetize with. So unless you can live off the ads on your site and/or your Patreon, Vimeo's a no-go.

I'm honestly worried about Todd, music companies are loving vicious about their music being in any videos that isn't on their vevo channel. I know the guy isn't just uploading the entire song but people have been hit for a 10 second clip of music. Even with patreon money to cover the loss of ad revenue they might just outright mute his entire video or take them down.

As a fat there is another component to it. A lot of them probably just use normal bar soap or some axe wash, which when you're obese does not cut it. You need some heavy duty body wash to kill the stank causing bacteria in those fat folds. Unfortunately if you get to be fat you likely don't do enough self care to think about that sort of thing.

Hopefully this year won't be a repeat of last year where the convention center A/C was "broken" (but hey, 3 dollar bottles of water and perpetually empty water service, funny that). Not the con's fault though; they do a pretty good job running things from what I've seen. Last year was jokingly called JonBravo because whenever JonTron had an event large portions of the con center became a ghost town. I think the guest distribution is a bit more even this year so that should help the crowding. Not sure if going yet but hopefully all going have a great time.
