Ditto Alan #9

And if I read another post plugging this girls book (I never heard of her before coming to this site) I am going to lose it. How do I get my business as many plugs as she as had for her book in the last week Michael? I am envious!!

Levitation display?

Teleporation perhaps?

Painful. The quality ruined what would have been a great video to watch. I watched the whole thing (did anyone else?!), but the really poor sound meant my attention deficit was certainly not in order. Almost a cross between DiggNation and GigaOm. How loud can we shout for TechCrunch to put out your own professional show? Surely you are only doing us, your users, and injustice? Can’t wait to see it, Mike?

There’s a learning curve using a smart phone camera and Qik to record something like this. First, gotta have a good 3G network. Second, audio, audio, audio. If you’re not right up on people, and they’re not speaking loudly – or you don’t happen to have an extension microphone (which at this point as far as I know have to be rigged up MacGyver style, though Nokia had some specially made for Reuters field reporters) you can’t achieve good audio capture. And third – perhaps most important – when starting a Qik video (figured this out with my Nokia N95) as soon as you hit record, the first thing you’re pointing at (in this case, Ms. Lacy’s rear end) … will be the still picture that everyone sees before hitting play.

It’s a shame the quality on this isn’t good. I was interested in what they had to say. I’ve watched a number of Lacy’s Yahoo Tech Ticker interviews, caught her appearance on Fox Business’s Happy Hour … and all were terrific. The SXSW thing? Get over it.

I really wanted to watch this, but it’s like watching a grainy happy-slapping video. Gave up after the intro.

By the way, what’s the deal with Sarah Lacy’s website?

Interesting interview—is this just a “tell all” book or actually case studies involved?

ya know, i’m pretty, like, sure its not the first time someone has pulled out a cellphone to record something they happened to observe. there was a complete absence of a production setup; therefore, no plan to do so. No backdrop or lapel mics. it was like, like, i was really there, like watching from inside a little matchbox.
Qik is for like, fun, ya know?

I can’t watch this…the audio and video quality is shite!

Web 2.0 tech does not trump broadcast standards; it’s just a different platform. Hire some real production guys next time. The content deserves it!

Waste of time. Seriously people. How many people care about – what does she call it – the ‘valley rebirth’ – outside of the valley or maybe wall street? I mean. Come on. Facebook is mainstream. Myspace is mainstream. But uh – plaxo. Got bought for a great sum for them. But mainstream? Not even close. Techcrunch – mainstream? Not even close. Subject matter doesn’t enable it to be. So much drivel. So little time. But apparently enough sexual tension that maybe there’s a reality web show about bloggers and actual writers. Who knows.

goddamn the video and audio quality sucks!

anyway, I think Arrington’s going to end up marrying Sarah Lacy. The sexual tension is so obvious between the two.

More Sarah, less Mike. Send your camera guy to a crash course.

I have thought long and hard about luck and following all this hype around the concept Sarah Lacy is promoting ‘Once Your Lucky, Twice You’re Good’. Well, I disagree with her assertion!

I hope you had another camera rolling to record a higher quality of that interview.

not a flattering final shot. is it amateur night?

Michael -

Always great content – but in this case your media sucks.

Get a better camera, get a better mike, use a better compression for your video. Yes, I know Qik is “simple”, but you and your readers are better than this. You can be frugal, use cutting edge tools AND look great. Why not?
