[…] In the afternoon John Herman and yours truly, led one of the sessions, a discussion around the topic of using cinematic language elements in your video, and we discussed, with lots of insights from the room, media aesthetics and production values. While video podcasts can benefit from effective use of established media aesthetics (why reinvent the wheel?), at the same time, we’re also creating new aeathetic criteria, video on the web is both an extension of cinema, television, and home video, and a new medium evolving its own aesthetics too.

I have been raving about you since Saturday. I truly enjoyed you, John, and the reptilian/mammalian brain concept. It has been a while since I divided thought and action in this fashion.
Your resources were very helpful. Sight Sound Motion by Zetti is on it’s way to my home now. I purchased it from Abebooks. The 2007 edition was $73, no shipping. I also bought Michael Wohl’s Final Cut Pro. Even though I am dying to get a camera NOW, I will listen and get my 3 minute stories together first. I will however, purchase my MicroTrak. It seems to be part of the podcaster’s standard operating electronics.
Thanks again. I hope that you will be in Philly and that they give you a projector.
