video: May your day be filled with Grace - 04/20/14 12:03 AM
 
This young lady has got a voice that is unbelievable, she sings as if she were an adult. I hear that she does a lot in the Gospel rounds, she is very inspiring.
She sings a song here that I just love to hear, Amazing Grace.
Hope you enjoy it as well.

video: It's 2014 - It's time to EXPRESS WITH VIDEOS AT ACTIVERAIN (Today) ;o) - 01/05/14 02:38 PM

Well maybe you made video a part of your NewYears Resolution. Video does have an impact that should be checked out. Vegas Bob has been doing this for quite some time. Check out his group.

video: Should water be coming from my light fixture? - 10/10/13 04:16 PM
 
Just trying to embed an iPhone video
directly from my phone.
 

 
 When I got to the bathroom to check out the damages in an apartment today, the water was still dripping through the light fixture. That’s not good. This repair will be a little tricky but it will get done.

It is funny how you can get together with some friends and family and learn a lot about them. I had the pleasure of being with some friends from countries miles away. 
Hearing stories of how things were, I found was fascinating, listening the music was a hoot. We heard the accordion being played for hours in several different languages.

You Are Not Going to Believe This College Cheerleader Shot.
I don’t know if you watch college basketball, but there was a cheerleader from William Carey University who takes an amazing half-court shot during the half-time break. This was her fifth attempt at this shot this year; this video is during the teams final home game of the season – her final attempt.
 
 
 A second view of the same shot.

Auld Lang Syne – What does it mean?
 
We hear it every New Year’s Eve, the song that nobody seems to know the words to sing along. Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians played "Auld Lang Syne" as a New Year's Eve song for the first time in 1929.
 
The meaning of “Auld Lang Syne” can be found in many places with slightly different translations – “old long since”, “long long ago”, “old times”, “the good old times” and “times gone by”. Though the translation is not perfect, you get the picture.
 
Now that you know the … (18 comments)

Foresthill Bridge through the fog – Photo
 
I was driving through the high fog this morning on Highway 49 near Auburn. The fog opened up just enough to see the Foresthill Bridge; I had to stop a get this shot.
 

Before writing this post, I did a little research about the bridge. There are some facts about this bridge that I did not know. I have included a video produced by Paula Johnston; she has done a great job in documenting some important facts about the bridge.

video: So many choices in video editing software! What do you use? - 10/21/12 07:00 PM
  So many choices in video editing software!
What do you use?
 
I have been struggling with trying out several new video editing software packages. The latest one that I am running in the trial version is Sony’s Movie Studio Platinum. It is similar to the Sony Pro version that I’ve used in the past and loved working with. Because of the proprietary file format of my Sony camera, I am limited in my selection of software. So the experimentation continues.

 
How about you?
What video editing software are you using in the production of your Real Estate … (8 comments)

I don’t know if I saved it, but it is showing signs of life.
 
My desktop computer has been out of commission for quite some time, I have been using my laptop exclusively for months. Without too much detail the desktop slowly had more and more problems, the best that I could do was to open it in safe mode. Even then, there were signs of a problem; pixels of different colors, misspellings and colored characters in Dos, and other strange stuff. I have not had time to address it.
The system seemed like a lost cause and I … (21 comments)

video: See any good movies this weekend? Photo - 07/01/12 02:33 PM
 
I have been caught up in a lot of good things lately; being a general contractor is just one. I was upset about missing a deadline for a Challenge; I had a cool idea for a video but ran out of time. I’ll keep it on the back burner for now.
 
The opening of Magic Mike was this weekend; I had to do my part in helping the cast.

Finch Feeding Frenzy Fun – Video
 
 
 
I got a new finch feeder and the finches love it. Despite the cold, and yes snowy, weather last night and this morning, the birds are enjoying the new bouquet setting. What is your experience with bird feeders? We are looking for a feeder for large birds that would draw the same enthusiasm.

ActiveRain University – Outside Blogs
 
I’ve done a lot in the year that I’ve been here, but there always seems to be so much more to learn and do. Maybe that’s why I stay here, where else can I learn so much so quickly. 
I took some time to watch a video on Setting Up An Outside Blog.
 
I have dabbled a little with an outside blog, but haven’t really focused on it. I do post content to it, but having seen the video, I have a better understanding as to what to do with it. The narrator … (22 comments)

What Your Video Viewers Aren’t Telling You!
 
“I loved that video you made.”
“That was a cute video”
“It was entertaining; I watched it over and over”
 
Reviews like this have its benefits. We can feel good about putting together a video that is appreciated by those that respond. But there are loose ends to this thinking. Here are a few problems with this sort of review.
Not everyone is completely honest about what they saw. Not everyone will respond with a review. The viewer may like and dislike parts of the video.

My name is Tom Arstingstall, I’m a licensed General Contractor.
 
When you think of a general contractor you probably think of custom homes and additions; we don’t do that. We remove damaged materials and rebuild it better than new.
 
We specialize in Dry Rot and Water Damage repairs and prevention.
 
That includes all sorts of repairs; bathrooms, kitchens, siding, decks, water heaters and anything that water and rot has created a problem. Often times the property owners choose to make improvements to their property with a kitchen or bath remodel, dual pane windows, or Trex decking.

How I Know My Video Is Being Viewed – A Video Contest Example
 
 
I entered a video into the First Annual Talent Contest, thanks to Stacey Smith and the VBlogger Group. Many wonderful videos were submitted and it was a learning experience for me. The reason I bring this up the contest is to show you how you can track the views using YouTube Insight.
 
I did not post this video anywhere else but to the contest at ActiveRain. After putting the video together and submitting it to the group, people watched the video. I can see from … (8 comments)

video: I didn't leave my shoes on the floor, maybe it was a ghost! - 10/11/11 05:57 PM
 
I keep getting blamed for leaving my shoes on the floor; I need to prove that it wasn’t me. Was it a ghost? Maybe it was, is that so farfetched?
I do have a video camera… maybe I can get it on video.
I think I have a good case here.
What do you think about my shoe situation?
Have any suggestions about my shoes on the floor?
Love to hear what you think.

Much can be said about Breast Cancer; much more can be done about Breast Cancer.
 You or someone you know will be affected by the disease. Men can get breast cancer; it too is devastating to families. October is the month that I can say, “I love Boobies” and get away with it.  
It’s never too late to get started in helping in the battle against breast cancer.

More QR Codes in Interesting Places - Chew on this!
 
I’m not sure what my fascination is with the QR Codes, but I get a kick out of finding them in some odd places. They seem to be used more frequently by companies selling a wide variety of products.  I posted about using the code at the movie theater, Free Popcorn With QR Code, to get a free box of popcorn, I saw it used on the back of a plumbing repair part that led to a how-to-install video, and of course we have seen it being used by our members … (18 comments)

General Contractor Uses Videos To Get Apartment Complex Jobs
 
I kind of stumbled into this technique about two years ago, but the results have been worthy of mentioning here. While it is something that has worked for me as a contractor, maybe you can come up with something that better fits into your profession.
 
I had finally made the decision to start video recording in an attempt to get familiar with recording, editing, and posting for the sake of marketing. I knew that the growth of video marketing was quickly approaching and wanted to be a part of … (14 comments)
