Dom.net: 10 Steps to a Videoblog

These are instructions for fast and simple video blogging by a buy who was featured on Google Blogspot's Blogs of Note recently.

Dom.net: 10 Steps to a Videoblog:
In response to those who asked how I made that last video, here are the 10 steps I take to videoblog quickly


Clearly, this Dominic guy is a technical and artistic/creative genius, but he writes down his steps in simple, easy terms. There are only 10 steps and they are very short.

Also, it is obvious that he owns a Macintosh.

It blows my mind that people will spend $700 on a new DV camcorder, but they will not spend the $599 they need to get a Macintosh (software included!) so that they can edit their digital video. The Apple iMovie video editor and iDVD DVD-mastering/burning software is a terrific combo, and it is free with any new Mac.

Ditto for people who spend $399 on the latest digital camera, plus $99 for a really great photo printer - but they won't spend the $599 it takes to get a great computer - a Mac - which comes with iPhoto for free.

Only Apple makes video, photo, and music recording/editing/publishing software that is so good that professionals use it, so easy little kids use it, and so affordable that they include it with your computer when you buy it from Apple or an Apple retailer.

Some people are born to have something to post on MySpace or a blog, others are just destined to read it and watch it.

It is sad because this is 2006 and the software applications needed to edit, produce, and publish video are quite easy to use now - at least on the Mac.

You should not buy a state of the art image/photo/video recording device - and then try to use it with ten year old software. Apple refreshes practically all their software every year. In rare cases, they go a year and a half.

You will not see (c) 2001 on all your program's screens if you buy a Mac.

What you will be able to do is follow Dominic's 10 simple instructions for producing a video.

Considering how many movies, birthday parties, tourist/siteseeing vacations you will go on in the next 3 years, wouldn't you like to be able to do that?
