jcdc605 (4:00:58 PM) has entered the room.
mbwalshwitch (4:00:58 PM) has entered the room.
jcdc605 (4:01:02 PM): hey!
mbwalshwitch (4:01:06 PM): hey
muckpoopoo (4:01:10 PM): so everyone's on
muckpoopoo (4:01:15 PM): I'm just going to listen in on the convo
muckpoopoo (4:01:23 PM): and pipe in which tech suggestions
mbwalshwitch (4:01:27 PM): judi cut and paste your previous ideas
muckpoopoo (4:01:28 PM): pretend I"m not here
muckpoopoo (4:01:28 PM): ;)
jcdc605 (4:01:34 PM): ok will do
mbwalshwitch (4:01:36 PM): ok
jcdc605 (4:02:06 PM): here's our options
jcdc605 (4:02:15 PM): a three-way video conference that we record
jcdc605 (4:02:24 PM): i have no idea how that could work
mbwalshwitch (4:02:30 PM): how we do - is where we need elp
mbwalshwitch (4:02:33 PM): help\
jcdc605 (4:02:39 PM): OR we can use our video camera as email
muckpoopoo (4:02:41 PM): iChat 4 has a record feature on it
mbwalshwitch (4:02:43 PM): elp me!
jcdc605 (4:02:50 PM): really
mbwalshwitch (4:02:57 PM): that means i need a mac
jcdc605 (4:02:57 PM): interesting. i'm writing that down
muckpoopoo (4:02:58 PM): and you can conference call up to 3 peeps I think
muckpoopoo (4:03:07 PM): the variables:
mbwalshwitch (4:03:07 PM): w. vid?
muckpoopoo (4:03:16 PM): Michael is on a Windows AIM machine
muckpoopoo (4:03:25 PM): which I don't know how that will fare in video conference
jcdc605 (4:03:27 PM): oh michael
muckpoopoo (4:03:31 PM): the only thing to do is to find out
mbwalshwitch (4:03:33 PM): ok, marc don't get nasty
jcdc605 (4:03:39 PM): hee
muckpoopoo (4:03:39 PM): :D
jcdc605 (4:03:49 PM): ok here's my favorite idea, marc
muckpoopoo (4:03:54 PM): first thing's first
mbwalshwitch (4:04:01 PM): this is good and totally old school
muckpoopoo (4:04:27 PM): judi: check if Michael can hook a device up to his computer to video chat with you one on one
jcdc605 (4:04:28 PM): god ichat
muckpoopoo (4:04:37 PM): God iChat?
mbwalshwitch (4:04:38 PM): there are parts o my hair that are longer than others
muckpoopoo (4:04:40 PM): I haven't heard of that program
muckpoopoo (4:04:42 PM): ;)
jcdc605 (4:04:42 PM): it's being annoying
mbwalshwitch (4:04:50 PM): see!?!?!
jcdc605 (4:04:56 PM): oh don't start
mbwalshwitch (4:05:07 PM): marc, you have to see this idea of judi's
jcdc605 (4:05:11 PM): ok here's the second idea
mbwalshwitch (4:05:17 PM): it's old school but could be cool
jcdc605 (4:05:18 PM): say you had a video camera
jcdc605 (4:05:24 PM): you switch it on and you call me
jcdc605 (4:05:29 PM): i pick up the phone on my end and hit record on my camera as well
muckpoopoo (4:05:33 PM): oh totes
jcdc605 (4:05:34 PM): we record the conversation, save the video
muckpoopoo (4:05:40 PM): that totally works too
jcdc605 (4:05:42 PM): if you put both videos together and hit play, theoretically you can watch us have a conversation
muckpoopoo (4:05:44 PM): then you just splice them
muckpoopoo (4:05:45 PM): done
jcdc605 (4:05:47 PM): yes
jcdc605 (4:05:48 PM): AND
jcdc605 (4:05:52 PM): THIS JUST CAME TO ME
mbwalshwitch (4:05:55 PM): lol
muckpoopoo (4:05:56 PM): :D
mbwalshwitch (4:06:00 PM): judi
muckpoopoo (4:06:07 PM): she didn't pass out did she?
jcdc605 (4:06:09 PM): say we do a phone call-video thing
muckpoopoo (4:06:13 PM): was the idea so good it knocked her out?
jcdc605 (4:06:13 PM): during an award show
mbwalshwitch (4:06:20 PM): oooh
jcdc605 (4:06:21 PM): AND
mbwalshwitch (4:06:25 PM): mama like
muckpoopoo (4:06:28 PM): omg
muckpoopoo (4:06:33 PM): then you just splice the video in
jcdc605 (4:06:35 PM): we can include the award show with the spliced video
jcdc605 (4:06:36 PM): YES
muckpoopoo (4:06:37 PM): BRILLIANCE
mbwalshwitch (4:06:40 PM): lol
mbwalshwitch (4:06:43 PM): um...
muckpoopoo (4:06:43 PM): Tu Genio
jcdc605 (4:06:45 PM): THUS THE ALL CAPS
mbwalshwitch (4:06:51 PM): FUUUUUUUUUUUCK
jcdc605 (4:06:56 PM): seriously michael
mbwalshwitch (4:06:58 PM): but who does la splice?
muckpoopoo (4:07:06 PM): or really for anything: not just awards shows
jcdc605 (4:07:07 PM): well that's a question
jcdc605 (4:07:09 PM): yes
muckpoopoo (4:07:14 PM): but whatever you're talking about: in the post production
mbwalshwitch (4:07:15 PM): hm...
mbwalshwitch (4:07:24 PM): my friend will could do it
muckpoopoo (4:07:28 PM): just pull up pictures (aka evidence) of what you're discussing
mbwalshwitch (4:07:34 PM): but we might need to throw him a bone
muckpoopoo (4:07:43 PM): seriously, you guys can splice the videos
jcdc605 (4:07:46 PM): yeah
muckpoopoo (4:07:50 PM): it's not that tough
jcdc605 (4:07:51 PM): i've got iMovie on my computer
jcdc605 (4:07:54 PM): AND final cut
jcdc605 (4:07:55 PM): I think
mbwalshwitch (4:07:57 PM): but he's my partner in crime w. Katie
jcdc605 (4:07:58 PM): somewhere
muckpoopoo (4:07:59 PM): you mean you've got God iMovie
jcdc605 (4:08:10 PM): totally
mbwalshwitch (4:08:20 PM): so m walsh needs the cam sitch
jcdc605 (4:08:20 PM): iGod
muckpoopoo (4:08:23 PM): Will should participate in the conversations!
jcdc605 (4:08:29 PM): we can totally use Will
muckpoopoo (4:08:29 PM): Special Guests!
mbwalshwitch (4:08:30 PM): si, marc
mbwalshwitch (4:08:40 PM): will is big
muckpoopoo (4:08:52 PM): we're going to need to get you some platforms then
muckpoopoo (4:08:53 PM): ;)
mbwalshwitch (4:08:57 PM): lol
muckpoopoo (4:08:59 PM): seat lifters
jcdc605 (4:09:05 PM): ok so theoretically, if michael got a Flip Cam
muckpoopoo (4:09:12 PM): ooh a Flip Cam!
jcdc605 (4:09:15 PM): he could just set it up and record himself on the phone
muckpoopoo (4:09:17 PM): good call, cheap and easy!
mbwalshwitch (4:09:17 PM): marc have you heard of these?
muckpoopoo (4:09:20 PM): (like me)
mbwalshwitch (4:09:24 PM): yay
jcdc605 (4:09:24 PM): lol
jcdc605 (4:09:35 PM): plug it into his USB port and we're good to go
mbwalshwitch (4:09:46 PM): where to get flip cam and how much?
muckpoopoo (4:09:49 PM): I feel a Flip Cam endorsement coming on
mbwalshwitch (4:09:52 PM): i'll go today
muckpoopoo (4:09:57 PM): (but let's not get ker-azy)
jcdc605 (4:10:02 PM): sekuuurity
mbwalshwitch (4:10:05 PM): sakuurity!
muckpoopoo (4:10:09 PM): let's do a quick amazon check
mbwalshwitch (4:10:09 PM): lol
muckpoopoo (4:10:10 PM): one sec
jcdc605 (4:10:24 PM): i told marty that the bon qui qui video is what it must look like in Michael Walsh's brain
jcdc605 (4:10:33 PM): "oh hell to the no. SA-kurity."
mbwalshwitch (4:10:53 PM): what does that mean, judi?
muckpoopoo (4:10:56 PM): this can't be right: $150?!
muckpoopoo (4:11:14 PM): omg, they are
muckpoopoo (4:11:17 PM): that's *cheap*
mbwalshwitch (4:11:18 PM): hot mex gardners here now
jcdc605 (4:11:28 PM): mmkay michael focus
muckpoopoo (4:11:29 PM): you might even be able to get them for cheaper used
jcdc605 (4:11:34 PM): yeah they
jcdc605 (4:11:37 PM): re pretty good
jcdc605 (4:11:43 PM): Vic has one and the quality's good
mbwalshwitch (4:11:58 PM): 150 isn't too bad
muckpoopoo (4:11:59 PM): no one on Craigslist has a used one
muckpoopoo (4:12:24 PM): In the meantime you guys can do "screen tests"
muckpoopoo (4:12:28 PM): with your digital cameras
muckpoopoo (4:12:33 PM): do like short 5 min video runs
muckpoopoo (4:12:48 PM): In fact
jcdc605 (4:12:51 PM): good call
mbwalshwitch (4:12:54 PM): not a bad idea
muckpoopoo (4:12:55 PM): I would probably encourage you to do that first
muckpoopoo (4:13:01 PM): this will really test if your idea works out
muckpoopoo (4:13:11 PM): and to see if the investment in a Flipcam is worth it
mbwalshwitch (4:13:11 PM): so, marc
jcdc605 (4:13:15 PM): are we auditioning ourselves?
muckpoopoo (4:13:18 PM): duhr
muckpoopoo (4:13:19 PM): yes!
mbwalshwitch (4:13:25 PM): question
jcdc605 (4:13:36 PM): ooh where's that judy garland audition video?
muckpoopoo (4:13:40 PM): lol
muckpoopoo (4:13:53 PM): *that's* your first video topic!
muckpoopoo (4:13:58 PM): Costume Testing!
mbwalshwitch (4:13:59 PM): better to do the 3 way cam/call or judi's 2nd idea?
mbwalshwitch (4:14:12 PM): which i think we agree on, but just checking
muckpoopoo (4:14:23 PM): try all the ideas out
muckpoopoo (4:14:32 PM): who knows which one will stick
muckpoopoo (4:14:43 PM): ok, I'm going to impose:
mbwalshwitch (4:14:55 PM): um, we did not need you for this call to say that, marc
muckpoopoo (4:15:14 PM): I insist that you guys do a screen test: the first video is costume testing
mbwalshwitch (4:15:21 PM): marc
muckpoopoo (4:15:49 PM): just sayin'
muckpoopoo (4:15:51 PM): ;)
jcdc605 (4:15:55 PM): lol
jcdc605 (4:16:02 PM): i personally think the second idea is gold
jcdc605 (4:16:12 PM): but i agree, it's worth trying out the other
mbwalshwitch (4:16:16 PM): judi i do too - however
mbwalshwitch (4:16:40 PM): we need to make sure that putting it together isn't a barrier to getting it out
jcdc605 (4:16:52 PM): you mean, editing it together?
mbwalshwitch (4:16:55 PM): si
jcdc605 (4:17:07 PM): ok well the actual video work will be minimal
muckpoopoo (4:17:11 PM): gotta try it to find out
jcdc605 (4:17:22 PM): but yeah editing it could be tricky
mbwalshwitch (4:17:23 PM): ok
mbwalshwitch (4:17:30 PM): so, how to proceed?
jcdc605 (4:17:33 PM): actually in mind i was thinking
muckpoopoo (4:17:35 PM): you ladies are smart
mbwalshwitch (4:17:37 PM): try cam vid?
muckpoopoo (4:17:39 PM): you'll figure out the hurdles
jcdc605 (4:17:43 PM): it was a page with four video screens
jcdc605 (4:18:00 PM): think of michael, marty and me- our screens side by side
mbwalshwitch (4:18:07 PM): is marc talking down to us palin style?
jcdc605 (4:18:18 PM): am i talking to myself?
mbwalshwitch (4:18:21 PM): no
jcdc605 (4:18:24 PM): ok
mbwalshwitch (4:18:25 PM): lol
jcdc605 (4:18:42 PM): don't get me started on her
muckpoopoo (4:18:49 PM): focus!
mbwalshwitch (4:18:51 PM): but judi, would we have to time all that?
jcdc605 (4:18:51 PM): i'm having a problem with my blood pressure as it is
muckpoopoo (4:19:10 PM): timing: not needed
mbwalshwitch (4:19:16 PM): hm.
muckpoopoo (4:19:17 PM): the pauses will be uniform between everybody
jcdc605 (4:19:21 PM): yes
jcdc605 (4:19:25 PM): because we start at the same time
mbwalshwitch (4:19:29 PM): nice
mbwalshwitch (4:19:30 PM): ok
jcdc605 (4:19:32 PM): so if you hit play on all three at the same time
jcdc605 (4:19:39 PM): you're seeing the conversation play out in real time
muckpoopoo (4:19:44 PM): seriously, just get started with doing a regular photo camera video test
mbwalshwitch (4:19:47 PM): hm...
jcdc605 (4:19:47 PM): and you'd have the video of our focus playing underneath
muckpoopoo (4:19:52 PM): you'll work out all the kinks from that test
jcdc605 (4:20:02 PM): so marty and i should do that
jcdc605 (4:20:08 PM): since we have cameras already
muckpoopoo (4:20:13 PM): Michael has one!
mbwalshwitch (4:20:14 PM): god judi
jcdc605 (4:20:19 PM): wait you do?
mbwalshwitch (4:20:21 PM): rude
muckpoopoo (4:20:34 PM): You guys need tripods
jcdc605 (4:20:36 PM): well then what's the problem? i thought you didn't have one!
muckpoopoo (4:20:39 PM): I recommend digging around Goodwill
mbwalshwitch (4:20:39 PM): \but can i plug it in marc?
muckpoopoo (4:20:43 PM): YES
muckpoopoo (4:20:49 PM): Turn it to Video
mbwalshwitch (4:20:51 PM): craaaazy
muckpoopoo (4:20:54 PM): hit shutter button
muckpoopoo (4:20:57 PM): you're ready to go
muckpoopoo (4:21:11 PM): in fact, Michael, try it right now
mbwalshwitch (4:21:27 PM): talk me down, i mean, through it...
muckpoopoo (4:21:56 PM): lol
muckpoopoo (4:22:01 PM): ok, actually I'm going to call you
muckpoopoo (4:22:02 PM): one sec
mbwalshwitch (4:22:06 PM): k

mbwalshwitch (4:24:49 PM): hold again, sorry
mbwalshwitch (4:24:52 PM): poo break
muckpoopoo (4:24:57 PM): you guys need to make sure that sound works well
muckpoopoo (4:25:03 PM): it can be kind of tricky with these small devices
muckpoopoo (4:25:06 PM): but the video should work
jcdc605 (4:25:13 PM): that's a good point
muckpoopoo (4:25:15 PM): ok, so your first test:
jcdc605 (4:25:15 PM): sound is key
jcdc605 (4:25:23 PM): otherwise we're just three bobble heads
muckpoopoo (4:25:27 PM): 1. set up cameras pointed at selves
muckpoopoo (4:25:30 PM): 2. call each other
muckpoopoo (4:25:32 PM): 3. hit record
jcdc605 (4:25:34 PM): right
jcdc605 (4:25:36 PM): ok
muckpoopoo (4:25:37 PM): 4. go for 5 minutes
muckpoopoo (4:25:43 PM): 5. Michael will send you video
muckpoopoo (4:25:58 PM): 6. Splice them up tete-a-tete
muckpoopoo (4:26:03 PM): 7. Review results
muckpoopoo (4:26:08 PM): 8. Rinse repeat
muckpoopoo (4:26:09 PM): ;)
jcdc605 (4:26:15 PM): ok i'm sending you my wireframe
jcdc605 (4:26:22 PM): this is what i imagined it would look like
jcdc605 (4:26:28 PM): if it's dumb, feel free to say so
mbwalshwitch (4:26:43 PM): back
mbwalshwitch (4:26:52 PM): did a little time
mbwalshwitch (4:26:56 PM): stoled a tv
mbwalshwitch (4:27:17 PM): so, do i need to re-record w. sound marc?
muckpoopoo (4:28:19 PM): It records sound, but I don't know how well
muckpoopoo (4:28:31 PM): each of you will have to test the sound individually with your enviornment
muckpoopoo (4:28:43 PM): you both may find that you might have to do it from your closets!
muckpoopoo (4:28:44 PM): lol!
muckpoopoo (4:28:45 PM): omg
muckpoopoo (4:28:53 PM): the Closet Chronicles
jcdc605 (4:29:03 PM): lol
