What is a videoblog?
Ever since we all starting videoblogging as a community in 2004, we have been arguing/discussing/defining the term "videoblog". Richard BF in Australia has continued to maintain a very strong drive of keeping the definition very basic.
Link: The definition of videoblogging as a genre - Richard BF.
His explanation is well thought out. I'm still processing his logic flow.
In his comments, I already see people who are angry because it leaves them out.
Why do we need definitions?
Well, you don't.
BUT definitions does make it easier to discuss adn evolve an emerging artform, which is what I think videoblogging is.
As always, if you don't like Richard's definition, make your own. Blog about it.
The Conversation.
Jay,
This is a formal invitation to a project I am launching. It's called the M. A. D. project. I have a list of people I am personally inviting to the project, but also the project is open to all. There is a post on my blog explaining the details.
www.thenagle.blogspot.com
The list of people are people both in and outside the blogging community whom I really appreciate their work.
The project goes a little something like this.
You will send me a way that you or others make a difference, whether it be grandiose, or simple it's all good. I will make a video based on that idea. At the same time you will also make a video, when done you will send me the link, and I will post them as a pair. This is mainly an exploration in perspective, and how we all influence each other without even knowing it. This will be a collaboration without collaborating.
Please email the proposed idea to the.nagle@gmail.com as well as the link to the video upon completion.
I hope you choose to be a part of this project, and I look forward to what we all will create.
thank you
-Josh Nagle
