Vlomo 2008: The Meeting

Posted on November 2, 2008 by Mike

November is going to be a great month. This time next week I’ll be in San Francisco (which should help me mix up the VloMo content) and when I get back we have Amplified08. This last week has been spent mostly on that but I did have time to fit in a few meetings regarding some very cool stuff for 2009. Some of this as usual is under NDA and may never see the light of the day, but I did get to nip into Channel Four.

The timing was perfect as Charlie Brooker’s Dead Set had just started and so amongst other things we chatted about this new TV show - I watched the entire thing again last night and consider it the most vital thing on British TV in recent history. It picks up the social commentary that Romero used to be so good at and pushes it hard through the back of your skull and out of your eyeball. Highly recommended television.

It also allowed me to have some fun with my second VloMo post:

I may well be evil, but was singing ‘Help me Sizemore, Help, help me Sizemore’ (to the Beach Boys hit, Help me Rhonda) during that clip.

Ha! Brilliant! Can you help me, too? I’m already behind on VloMo08.

Downloading. Deadset. Now.

Love it.

P.S. Trivia: The guys behind the massive ‘4′ are the same guys behind the SpinVox Mobsters…

JJ - You are evil in a good way.

Robert - I’ll be behind in no time at all. Glad you liked it.

Whatley - Good move. And thanks for the trivia… (you should do some VloMo vids!)

Does VloMoMo mean I have to do one *every* day…?

While not strictly part of VloMoMo, there’s a video post up today you might like

Not at all. The rules (if they exist) are very loose. Doesn’t even have to be filmed in November as some people are pulling stuff older stuff from their drives. Just post when you can. It’s mostly about watching interesting videos and commenting - creating a sense of community and all that Which you’re already doing plus you’re already using Vimeo so join the VloMo group there and then point your feed at the mefeedia group.

You and your sock friends will make a welcome addition!

Rupert has an overview up here:

Right then, I’ll get on that then. Consider me all signed up.

Need to get some more video up this week - will tag it VloMoMo.

Rock. On.

Cheers Mike, let’s do some Friday.

Oh ok, that was WAY better than the 1st one.
