Another piece of great video by Dan Kellett

This is a great little piece of cgi frm my brother in the USA. Not all video has to be real animation and cgi is great to.

The Brunel Festival Fireworks

Where has all the development gone? Well here is a short video shot on a cmaera with video capabilities is the quality sufficient to watch? You tell me.

Lets find the Stars.

This is just a bit of fun but amazing programming non the less. Would this get airtime on normal TV? Probably not but online this guys a star. I wonder how many stars are in Pembrokeshire just waiting to be found.

PAVS Intro

Just had a phone call from Caroline Graham of PAVS hopefully will get a meeting to see whether the project fits into their remit. (Thanks Darren B) Should it be a Charity, Group? Feedback welcoemd.

Show Ideas

I have an idea for a show to get the content ball rolling. It could be called simply The Pembrokeshire Show. It would cover everything a bit like the old pebble mill. Live bands, on the couch debates and interesting interviews. It would last about 15 mins and be shot live every friday at the FREE studio location. It would be vision mixed on the fly and recorded straight to PC so that it could be uploaded quickly and with the minimum of fuss. Give me some comments about this.

Also I would not want the show to be branded as anything as it would be much better if it was a general programme that any pembrokeshire based website could place on their site so that it received more coverage and more people could connect to it.

Sections could include:

• The three minute debate. Two people on the couch with opposing ideas one minute each to put forward. One minute to debate.
• The 5 minute chef. A chef runs through cooking ideas in 5 mins.
• A live band perform a single track.
• 2 Day Buzz. Whats on this weekend.
• Shire Folk. An interview with an interesting person in the county.

Got any more ideas? Lets hear them.

FREE Studio

Also this week we secured the assistance of a property developer to allow the use of a dockside premesis as a temporary studio. Whats more it has been agreed in principle that this will be provided for FREE.

Update

OK so its been a while since my last post I've been trying out some other video host services. So far I have found youtube.com to have the most flexible service plus they allow playlists which is a must. Also I have spoken to various interested parties and they all seem very keen to see a not for profit service in operation in the county.

The video playlist below looks best if you use the dimensions 400 x 280 (pixels)

An example of content

Below is a typical example of the content that can be found and added to the Planet Pembrokeshire database. Ok so it's not oscar winning but who cares if you want to see the Tenby Lifeboat launch for whatever reason it's here.

The video playlist below looks best if you use the dimensions 400 x 326 (pixels)

An idea is born

With the advent of broadband now available to most of the county it seems logical that more and more people will be spending more time online. They want information, music and video. There are now a host of services offering easy ways to distribute your own content, post anyone's ramblings (such as these) and find and listen to a market of musicians that we didn't know were there. Planet Pembrokeshire aims to gather a team of creative thinkers and entrepreneurs to develop an exciting and engaging site that connects people to content specific to Pembrokeshire.

Planet Pembrokeshire will also create it's own content, but ultimately will categorize and promote what the web has to offer with regards to the county. News, sport, music, the arts it doesn't matter what it is if its from Pembrokeshire it goes in. It will view all sources of content as relevant. Local news sites, a humble blog or an on-line business there is so much going on in Pembrokeshire not one organisation could possibly do it all. So why try to? However finding what you want can be a problem. Hopefully this project will change that soon.
