Technical notes:
Synthesizer: Korg MS-2000B
Recorded into a Motu 8-pre in 48khz 24 bit, stereo.
Geoff’s voice was recorded using a Sennheiser lapel microphone /wireless transmitter, also plugged into the Motu 8-pre.
This audio was not processed, normalized, compressed, or modified in any way. It’s the clean signal right from the synth.

Video recorded with a Sony Cybershot DSC-HX9V camera (manual white balance, EV+0, 60p 1080p), and edited with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 on a Windows 7 Dell PC (Intel i7 and USB 3.0 for a faster workflow). Audio was synced with the video using Pluraleyes from Singular Software. Synth audio was monitored live during performance on Behringer B2031A studio monitors.

I make a walk in Downtown Vancouver from the corner of Nelson and Richards to Yamato Sushi on Davie Street (616 Davie St).

Recorded with a Sony HX9V in Tungsten White Balance mode. A bit of water got on my lens, so I will post a “lens cleaning video” soon!

Have a great day!

Geoff from geoffmobile.com gives a tour of the Vancouver Skytrain (Canada Line).

In this video, Geoff starts by walking down Davie Street in downtown Vancouver to the Yaletown Canada Line station. He then goes two stops outbound (South) past the Olympic Village to the Broadway / City Hall Stop. Geoff goes up the escalator to Broadway and Cambie, and walks west on Broadway to Ash street where he takes in the beautiful view of the North Shore mountains and views of downtown.

The closing music song (with female vocals and synthesizer) is a snippet of Geoff’s original remix of the Imogen Heap tune “The Song that Never Was”. You can listen to the full song for free at:

The Power of the Video Language
by Geoff Peters, Feb 9th 2012

geoffmobile.com

Presented to Best Run Toastmasters club in Vancouver BC Canada.

- The power of video to communicate ideas

Intro:
Youtube:· 8 years of content uploaded every day, Over 3 billion views of videos /day
But what’s significant about Online Video?
Why should you get involved and learn how to create it?

1. Visual culture and language
2. Communicate complex ideas quickly
3. Scalable to time and place.

1. Visual culture and language
-We’re a visual culture: younger generation, TV watchers, a visual language of film.

- NyTimes: – Average American: 34 hours of television each week (2010)

- Canada: around ½ that.

- 2-6 hours /day of TV compared with 30 minutes of reading.

2. Communicate complex ideas easily:

- Documentaries have power to change real world (Super Size Me).

- Example of my new website for instant mashups to idea to reality in 1 week, developed by someone I don’t know.

Combine sound and still or moving images, capture reality or show something abstract.

3. Scalable to time and place
– Anyone can watch a video, jump traditional hierarchies.

Godfrey’s video idea gets noticed by directors.
– Can reach a large audience, video player does the work for you (Youtube).
– People watching don’t have to be located in the same place or time as you.

(Sharing my videos with virtual friends in Berlin Germany, Vietnam, Japan, Australia).

Conclusion:
- Ability to create, communicate in video, and interpret the language of video

- will become an important part of literacy.
Video language – power to communicate complex ideas quickly,

and scale across the globe or across an organization.
Technology for making video is getting cheaper – through TV and Youtube we already know the language, so let’s get comfortable speaking it!

Other notes:

Idea in your head to Words to Interpretation to Thoughts in another person’s mind.

Richness of mediums:
-In Person – one on one
-Phone (one on one, voice only, not rich, real time)
-Video (scalable)

Broadcasting to many

Advantages:
Vlogging
Abstract vs discussion
Editing is needed?

Easy:
Need: Tripod, camera, computer (iMovie or Windows Live Movie Maker = free)

Advantages of video blogging.

Recorded with:
Sony Cybershot DSC-HX7V (camera)
and Sony ICD-SX712 (audio recorder)

Geoff from geoffmobile.com and his friend KL visit the new location of Tossed restaurant in Vancouver BC Canada.

Located right across from the Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) on Hornby Street, Tossed is a great place to try their custom-made salads, crepe wraps, and more.

Tossed Vancouver
769 Hornby St., Vancouver, BC, Canada
restaurant phone: 604-646-2440

Thanks a lot to Tossed and we’ll definitely be back to enjoy more of your delicious food. The salad is a great sized portion, really delicious and satisfying while being healthy at the same time, and the Crepe Wraps are a fantastic idea. I really love crepes, and turning them into a wrap really appeals to me, especially as the crepe is not the focus of the flavor or texture, but rather compliments nicely the tasty ingredients (as shown in the video!).
