My latest effort. Will the blender fun ever end?

New watchblogvideos ident. v2.0

2008-10-07T22:20:00.000-07:00

Well after a bit of huffing and puffing with blender here is the new version of the logo. Still a work in progress, there a couple of things I need to iron out but it is going in the right direction I think. If you can spot the hommage being paid with the sound track I will be impressed.

High resolution animoto video. I, Avatar.

It is in mp4 format so you will need quicktime, VLC. PowerDVD or an equivalent to play the file. Because it is high res your PC needs to have a bit of grunt to play it smoothly. I can only play it on my old PC using PowerDVD as it can use hardware acceleration.

The final version of the avatar video is finished. Please feel free to embed the YouTube version however you wish. Here is the YouTube link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-scxULas1Y

You can download a higher resolution .wmv (23.2mb) version to your PC from here.

If you really like the video it is also available in DVD quality. Which, I am pleased to be able to report, looks fantastic on my 22" widescreen monitor and on my TV. I can post you a printed DVD with box and cover, or I can email you a link so you can download the .iso file so you can burn it to dvd yourself. Alternatively I can email you a link to download it in DVD quality .wmv or .mp4.

Unfortunately there is a nominal charge for the high resolution versions. $5.00 for download or about $10 for the DVD including postage (depending on where you live). I've had to do it this way in order to (hopefully) recoup some of the cash I have put into this project.

If the high resolution version interests you see the ebay listing below for more details. If you need more information please get in touch.

I've played around with the sound using Audacity and Windows Movie maker to get it in a better sync than v1.0.

With the aim of pursuing video applications which can be used to promote your blog polybore has been playing around with Blender. Blender is a 3D animation creation utility which is opensource. You can download it here for free. http://www.blender.org/

Unless you are used to 3D animation software the interface for Blender is pretty intimidating. However if you work through some of super3boy's tutorials you will soon be animating. I was able to create the watchblogvideos.com logo animation after about an hour. I've had some experience of this sort of software before but super3boys tutorials are great. http://www.youtube.com/user/super3boy

If you have already done some work with blender or decide to give it a go I would love to post your work here.

2008-09-10T14:59:00.000-07:00

Here is the latest version of the video. It turns out that there is a 90 image limit with animoto. Currently the video has 53 images so only 27 to go. If you want your image included get in touch asap.

Other news is that I am going to render the video at DVD quality and will send to BlogCatalog who are saying that they would like to have it.

Download this video in high quality MP4 format here. If there is enough interest I will consider increasing the resolution, even higher, to DVD quality.

If you would like your logo or avatar included in the next video please get in contact using the contact button.

Thanks again to the 40 or so bloggers who have taken part so far. If you want to have a go using animoto check out the link in the sidebar. It is easier to make videos like this than it looks. Very easy indeed.

Big thank you to kat who sparked the idea http://kat-com.blogspot.com/

Have been experimenting with adding links to videos. Seems to work quite well. Please let me know what you think.

I first made the animoto slide show using an excellent track from the animoto music collection so as not to infringe copyright. The track is "Good Day" by Jukebox the Ghost. The images were kindly given to me by members of Blog Catalog http://www.blogcatalog.com/ A big thank you to all who participated and to Blog Catalog for their excellent discussion board and support.

Having made the animoto slide show and used the animoto youtube export facility to get the video onto youtube I then used an online tool BubblePLY.com http://www.bubbleply.com/default.aspx to add the links. Thanks to digg user Pete223 http://home-made-online-income.blogspot.com/2008/03/brand-existing-youtube-videos-with-your.html

BubblePLY is great to use and I am pleased with the fact that the links work so you can see the avatar/ logo then go to the blog.

The only slight downside is that the quality of the video has decreased slightly. However BubblePLY.com is in Beta just now and I am sure that video quality is something they are working on.
