Look how insane LA looks at night as you fly into the city.
We built it piece by piece.
This is for week 7 of Semanal.
Music: Pachebel’s Canon In D (Glass Harmonica). See how they play the crystals here. Kick ass.

Monday, February 18th, 2008Political Video
Monday, February 18th, 2008Schlomo and I are co-moderating a panel at The Politics Online Conference on March 5, 2008. We’ll be joined by Richard Bluestein (aka Madge), Jim Bray of Why Tuesday, and hopefully someone from The Uptake. Our goal is to highlight the growing ability for grassroots web video to affect the political conversation we have in this country.
I’m especially realizing how important an online community can help raise money.
From a recent article in the London Telegraph:
Last month, for example, Mr Obama raised an astonishing $32 million
(about £18 million). Of this, all but $4 million was donated online, by
hundreds of thousands of small donors (90 per cent gave $100 or less).
That’s huge money and can only happen because Obama has been the one of the few candidates (also Ron Paul) to reach out online in a big way. Web video can help build this relationship. Anyway, here’s our panel info. We’d love to see you come by.
Title:
How web video changes the political conversation – http://polc.ipdi.org/Agenda
Description:
Regular people are increasingly making media that adds
to the political conversation, lugging small (and big) cameras to political
events and telling their own stories. They post their own commentary on issues
using webcams. They use video clips to influence their own communities. They
don’t stick to talking points. What’s a campaign manager or issue advocate to
do?
Day/Time:
Wednesday, March 5 from 3:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Los Angeles: Video 24/7
Thursday, February 7th, 2008Ryanne and I are helping out at Video 24/7, a DIY video summit in LA.
It goes from Feb 8-10. Here’s the full schedule.
Ryanne is leading a screening of videos that she put together, and we’ll also doing a panel with Kenyatta and Tiffiniy Cheng from Miro. Our goal is to discussion on how video creators could actually record, edit, post, distribute, and archive web videos using open source tools from beginning to end. There are still gaping holes in the current process, but it’s all developing.
On sunday Feb 10, we’ll be leading a 3-hour videoblogging workshop. They told us 15 people are already signed up. We’ll be walking people through our showinabox project using Wordpress….or just see what help people need. If you’re in LA, call us (917 371 790) or come by the event.
