I put together a little remix of videos from Chris Ritke, Michael Verdi, Steve Garfield, Chuck Olsen, Ryanne Hodson and others who participated in or contributed to the XpressionVlog event at the Ex'pression College of Digital Arts on November 18th, 2005. The voiceovers are sampled from Dave Toole's presentation. Music is from the track named "Clear" found at Regular Cat with Headphones, on the Internet Archive.

Mia Garlick of Creative Commons
Mia Garlick gives a basic explanation of what Creative Commons is all about and how it relates to re-mixing and videoblogging. This is an MP3 recording of a 23 minute presentation that was delivered at the Ex'pression College of Digital Arts during the Outhink sponsored XpressionVlog event on Friday, November 18th, 2005.

Backstage With The Students
Here's a short clip showing the equipment we were using in the video editing booths while the Ex'pression College event was going on. Here, Fernando, Chris Ritke, Richard Pascual and I try to figure out how to capture from the digital tape into Final Cut Pro. This was a first time experience for all of us (I had never even held a DV tape before). Luckily, we had help from Jon Scanlon of Ex'pression. Thanks Jon!
Jon got us going, but we ditched FCP and used iMovie instead. It was easier as none of us knew FCP!
Then we got our next suprise: unsynced audio!
Schlomo's Introduction
Schlomo Rabinowitz was the emcee for our Ex'pression College videoblogging and personal media presentation event. During the intro, he shows Chuck Olsen's classic video from the Fine Line bar. I could not bring myself to stop recording or edit it out and so this is a bit long of a video, but great for re-mixing.
Alex Woodard Performs "Wonderful"
Here is an mp3 of the audio captured from the event, including Schlomo's introduction. This is released under a Creative Commons license of "Atribution-NoCommercial-ShareAlike" so you are free to re-mix! Tag you re-mixes with xpressionvlog.

Ted Tagami's Re-Mix
What an amazing experience. I want thank you Markus for setting up this site, and to Dave and Schlomo for putting this together. I met some cool folks, learned some new things, and had a great time.
Here is my vid from yesterday's events. Before the shoot, I was lucky and had a chance to ask Alex about song writing. He goes on to share with us how the meanings of songs change over time. Seems to mix well with shots of his old Gibson. Does anyone know Ike's full name?
I now know I will have to plan in advance in order to try and pull this off well. I would like to do this again. Do we have the audio from the talks while we were in the editing rooms?

Ex'pression
Schlomo, Dave and I went over to Ex'pression, to set up for the big event. There are a bank of Final Cut Pro editing rooms, each with a Mac G5, dual monitors and a great workstation area. This is where the student videobloggers will edit the video they capture during the live music portion of the event. Here's a little video that I shot on the way back from visiting Ex'pression.
