Someone affiliated with this project sent a message to everyone they could find on Twitter, looking for advice on their crowdfunded project to make — I kid you not — Dracula themed car air fresheners.
So I gave them some advice!
If you have comments, please make them on YouTube. Thanks!
When is an app not an app? Find out as I look at Movie on Me a crowdfunding project on IndieGoGo.
This is the sort of small Kickstarter project that’s just perfect for crowdfunding.
Just because you can get a patent on something, it doesn’t mean it was worth the effort…
Slightly behind schedule I bring you What The Fund episodes 10 and 11. Back story on the posting delay is below, for those of you interested in a behind-the-scenes look.

Here’s the back story. I was using some inexpensive video production software for episodes 1 through 10. While the software wasn’t much to write about, it was sufficient for my original purposes — basically doing some minor post production on a nearly finished product. But when it came to doing much more than that, its inexpensive roots started to show, particularly a nasty green tinge that the webcam driver corrects for but the cheap capture software doesn’t. While I know a good video has more to do with content than with white balance, the photographer in me had a real hard time paying attention to the content.
So I acquired some less inexpensive (but still cheap, as in under $100) replacements [VideoPad from NCH software]. While it’s still not as powerful as professional software, this has let me move to a two head production (two cameras), and use my professional camera to capture full HD. While that’s a major improvement, it comes with a steep learning curve that impacts the whole production process. This means it took a few extra days to get episode 11 out the door. Fortunately after I get back up to speed it looks like it won’t take a lot more work to move forward with this format, so I hope everyone likes it.
