| A video blog of short interviews with Artists of New Orleans. Topics discussed to include: recent work, creative process, motivation, technique, etc. To be housed at ArtistsOfNewOrleans.com. |

| I was inspired by a recent art show featuring Kinetic Art called Automata. The quality and diversity of the art presented was awesome. While the show was well attended, there were so many people who didn't get to see it. This fact compelled me to try and document some of these works.
Also, I was impressed that there were so many other artists in town who were interested in this kind of work. I thought these interviews might serve as a kind of introduction to each other. And then perhaps lead to collaboration in the future or at the very least, a bit of getting to know other artists in town. |

| I have already learned most of the technical knowledge to create this website during the creation of PeopleOfNewOrleans.com during 2006. I plan to do a couple things differently:
A. All videos will be uploaded to YouTube and then embedded into the ArtistsOfNewOrleans.com website. The advantage of this approach are twofold: 1) I only have to encode the video once and 2) more people will find the videos (because YouTube already has such popularity, people may find them there by searching; and if enough people watch them, they may make it onto a "most-viewed" list, which will exponentially increase their views).
B. All videos will be uploaded to archive.org to serve the video directly to those who subscribe to the podcast from iTunes or other podcast aggregator software. Archive.org will be able to supply better bandwidth than my webhost can and they will also archive the videos indefinitely so they that they might be a useful artifact for the future.
Someday, I may try to make a long-form documentary using the video interviews recorded for this website.
I have recorded the first 16 video interviews using a borrowed video camera. I hope to raise funds to buy my own camera for future interviews.
budget:
$900 camera ( http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/675618-REG/Canon_4462B003_EOS_Rebel_T2i_Digital.html )
$38 * 2 = $76 video recording storage ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015AOK1O/ )
$976 total
I already have an external microphone and shoulder-mount from my last camera setup (which served me well until my old DV camera died) which I plan to use with this new camera. |
