Last night we went out and did an appearance for Halloween, I filmed the whole thing, and edited it up this morning in 2 hours. If a radio show could do this for clients.... is that something that a sales department could sell???

It seems like a very NEW, COOL thing that you could attach to an "appearance." Then the company can put it on their website, along with the station... and everybody wins.

Plus... if I can do all the editing and filming myself.... that's WAY cheap!

Anyways, I'd just like some feedback from people in sales. Well, anybody can give feedback... I'm just wondering if this could be sold?

Who would you sell this to, the bar you made your appearance at? Your video edits and camera work are pretty good and all, but I fail to see the significance to an advertiser.

Since you obviously have something to do with The Monkey, why don't you talk to some of the sales people there at Clear Channel and ask them if they see some sort of a premium for producing a video about the appearance?

Good Luck!
 
Thanks for the feedback!

I am going to talk to the good people at CC... I'm just home sick, and was looking for some "expert" feedback!

Basically you would attach the "website video promo" or whatever you would call it and sell it to the advertiser. You could do them anywhere, Car toys, Les Schwab, night clubs, or wedding shows. As long as the "talent" is funny, and having fun... people will want to watch. Our last webisode (before the last one) got over 500 views in 2 days. One of our webisodes we did 6 months ago has recieved over 200,000 views on youtube!

Tell me an advertiser wouldn't be stoked about that! :)

Thanks for the feedback man.

I'm not really trying to rain on the parade here ... and my comments aren't meant to be mean in any way --- but try to make the distinction between whether the video is fun to you BECAUSE YOU WERE THERE!! While I love that you're trying to think of new ideas (and should definitely keep doing that), my reax to this kind of footage is that it's like being invited over to someone's place to watch THEIR home movies!!

On the other hand, it there was a great "bit" or celebrity appearance or something at the club (or some of the slapstick stuff that draws people to YouTube) then it (the relevant, edited segment) IS worth posting.

All I am asking is for you to step back on the content .. be objective ... and then decide if you would watch the same video if you didn't know the "atmosphere" of the event and didn't know any of the people...
 
Dude! Don't even worry about it! I LOVE any feedback.... and honestly... I never thought of that, so it'll only make them better in the long run!

Thanks for the feedback!!!
 
KFNK-TV

Shoot, these days ANY radio station can start their own TV station. Maybe not broadcast, unless you were as briefly lucky as KZND-TV was up in Alaska. KZND operated on Channel 6, which has the aural frequency of 87.75 FM, which by sheer design of most FM radios is receivable on them (or just on 87.7 if your digital tuner isn't some fancy European/Asian-ready thing.)

FM 87 (think the KZND calls stood for "End", something like that.) ran its station on the aural signal. The video part just ran a cam of the studio-right over the air.

But with the web, ANYTHING is possible. And you can reach an audience too. Maybe not enough to beat those "Seinfeld" reruns on KVOS-TV...at FIRST. You NEVER launch any new operation without a BLITZ of promotion.

I once read an article about radio stations using YouTube and webcasting video to enhance listener interactivity. Essentially I hope to see a day when you can clear the minefield of digital copyright BS (good luck now!) and you could run music videos, DJ video spots, commercials, cartoons, live stuff and whatever else you can.

Eventually, phone, Internet, ALL web TV/radio, ALL current AM/FM radio and ALL broadcast/cable/satellite TV and TONS of On-Demand + built in cam/mic + recording/downloading capability will merge into one simple, easy to use unit you can take anywhere once Wi-Fi really gets kicked off. They're pretty much there already with the technology, it's just these movie/recording industry dinosaurs need to get hip to the idea that this product might be what actually SAVES them if they ALL offer up their ENTIRE vaults for one low monthly fee.

Radio will still play a VITAL role in introducing people to great music, but a little more personality and less liners will go a long way with such a product.
 
Bongwater! I knew I liked you! (not just for the obvious)

I couldn't have said it better myself. With streaming you can still be local, but reach a whole new OUTSIDE audience. I have people who email me DAILY (no joke) from Texas, New York, LA, Vegas..... They all listen online! Could you imagine the day the highest paid DJ in the country is the one who pulls the BIGGEST online audience! A station, or company hires talent and get's a built in, online, world wide streaming audience! People don't want the same old thing. I think you hit it RIGHT on the head man.

Thank you....thank you....please, enough rapturous applause.

Folks, we're in a new age, and the best thing is it ain't full of that Andreas Vollenwieder, Basia stuff they were playing on KNUA ("Music For A New Age, 106.9") 20 years ago....

We're in potentially AWESOME times in music and music development, what we need is a device and a fair deal that gets it ALL to us with less bulls--t. THAT'S what people want today. And just the very THOUGHT of getting EVERYTHING you could ever ask for in music, video, news or talk, the web, and the phone will make this device (or devices, home models and portables) WILL make it light years more kick ass than just the iPhone. My wife has one now and I'm so damn jealous, I'm gonna upgrade VERY SOON!

But she's monitored my attention to that thing and I think I COULD get a most excellent stocking stuffer (I hope...)

Cheers!
 
Ummm KISW has been using video on their web site for pretty much the past year BJ Shea has a daily Video Blog which is posted daily by Steve the Producer for their web site. And the station uses various video to showcase live listener events and parties as recaps and things. Point is usually they tag the show & station sometimes third party advertisers and they post these which some become viral and generate web traffic and of course new Internet listeners...
