Being a faithful servant of the "Sisterhood" and the entire SA fandom, I have broken down and signed up on YouTube and did a test video with my Blackberry, as preperation and research for the Fargo show, and the video quality from the Blackberry is completely useless, so that option is out. I am, however, uploading the videos I took at the 9-24-2005 Nye's show with my Olympus camera, and although the quality is poor for video, it's still worth trying to share, for those that can ignore the poor quality and horrible cinimatography.dells wrote: I also have never tried posting any videos to YouTube before, so I don't even know if my Blackberry's video will work for that, or if the quality would even be worth it. Or the view from my vantage point, for that matter... The person I spoke to at "The Venue" said they'd make a place for me up front, but she also said "off to the side", so who knows....
Has anyone posted Blackberry videos to YouTube before? Is it easy? Any conversion needed?

I mostly shot these videos as an experiment, and was more concerned with enjoying the show by watching the actual show rather than keeping an eye on the LCD screen of the camera, not to mention that I was uncomfortable with feeling like a paparatzzi while shooting the first video, so after shooting the first one, I just let the camera hang on it's cord from my neck, aimed at the stage, and tried to not move too much. I did check it's aim occassionally, but I'm afraid that the composition does end up showing a lot of the stage roof, but even those crappy shots still usually have Dave from the waist up, so are not a total waste.
Here is the first one, Teach Me To Breath:

This was another "Dave Pirner & The Volunteers" show, so all my vids are of Dave's solo stuff, and I ran out of memory card space just before Dan arrived, so unfortunately I didn't get to shoot the historic performance of Artificial Heart.
I did, however, get Dave's cover of In The Ghetto, and Cruel Intentions without Dave being stuck at a keyboard (Although I love piano playing Dave for this song too, in this one he's more "campy" rather than lounge lizzard piano playing crooner) I also got Dave's covers of It's Raining So Hard, and Iko Iko.
I just made a new thread for these vids & their discussion, and the links for all 9 vids are in it:
