I’m no expert really (note lack of videos by me on this site!), but I am quite a good researcher and this post should serve as a decent sign-posting intro to good video blogging tips and tools
Places to upload your videos: http://www.vimeo.com/ http://blip.tv/
(those are the two most film maker people I know use)
(one of them lets you automatically add them to http://www.archive.org
which is a good idea)
(and, of course, you should upload to youtube too – where the biggest
audience is)
PS thanks to Viv Gooding (who ran the build of Ben Law’s house, incidentally) for asking me about this stuff whilst I was at Embercombe (the text above is basically an e-mail I sent him), and to tav too (his recent post on becoming a film maker prompted me to whack this info up here )
“Imagine This is an audio mash up of GW Bush singing the John Lennon classic “imagine”, it has been a worldwide hit and has made it into (John Peel’s) BBC Radio 1 Music Festive 50 on UK Radio 1.
The audio was produced by Waxaudio, I created a video for it by tracking down over 40 separate video clips from George Bush speeches, I lip synched these clips to the audio and interspersed them with footage from the original imagine Video, along with some Iraq war footage and some other bits and pieces.”
I just came across this video after reading this interview

ABSTRACT
Rick Falkvinge, the founder of the Swedish Pirate Party and the international politicized pirate movement, talks about the rise and success of pirates, and why pirates are necessary in today’s politics. He’ll also outline the next steps in the pirates’ strategy to change global copyright laws.
The fight against copyright aggression tends to focus on economic aspects of the shift to a networked economy. Rick explains how this conflict is much more important than that: the fight against the copyright regime is about the right to fundamental civil liberties – down to the postal secret, whistleblower protection, freedom of the press, and the very right to an identity. Rick Falkvinge is the founder and leader of the Swedish Pirate Party, as well as the founder of the international politicized pirate movement. His leadership and vision took the Pirate Party from nothing into the top ten parties in the last Swedish general election, without a dime in the campaign chest. His personal candidacy came in at rank #15 out of over 5,000 candidates for the 349 parliamentary seats.
While he didn’t win one of those seats due to threshold rules, the Swedish Pirate Party has inspired similar parties to form in over 20 other countries, and the fight for civil liberties against copyright and patent aggression continues.
The primary focus of Rick and of the Pirate Party is to fight back against the current copyright aggression and surveillance populism using the one thing lobbyists can never buy – votes in a democratic election. Rick demonstrates how much more than business models are at stake in the copyright debate: today’s copyright and essential civil liberties have become mutually exclusive, and society must choose.
Rick Falkvinge lives in Stockholm, Sweden. When not engaged in the fight for privacy and citizens’ rights, he can usually be found cooking, reading, or riding a motorcycle.
