Since many of you wanted to know where I bought Blake’s “Jumpers” as seen in episode 50, I thought I’d go ahead and post a link.
Extreme Toys for Boys is a great place to get them. Excellent service, and I highly recommend them.
Oh, and the stilts themselves are endless fun. You get a lot of attention from people at the park.
This is far off the subject of video, although it’s slightly connected through the brilliant Apple commercials featuring “I’m a Mac. I’m a PC.”
The news is simply this:
The iTunes store is giving away the funniest audiobook I’ve ever heard. It’s called “The Areas of My Expertise,” and it’s written and read by John Hodgman (think “I’m a PC”).
The thing is brilliant, and I’ve been laughing all morning. Please trust me on this one, and follow this link. It will open the iTunes Store, where you will find the book available for download (free at the time I’m writing this).
As Hodgman frequently says on his own blog…
That is all.
My guess is that many viewers in the Izzy Video audience are also registered Digg users. Recently, Digg added a new Podcast section, and I saw that Amit submitted the Izzy Video feed to their database (thanks, Amit). As of when I’m writing this, Izzy Video has 2 diggs, one from Amit and one from me. Ha!
Please help support Izzy Video by following this link and digging Izzy Video. It’s quick and easy, and it’s a great way to introduce the podcast to more people.
All diggs are very much appreciated!
Would you like to know how to use the Time Remap tool in Final Cut Pro?
My guess is that other video editors have a similar tool, but I don’t know. It’s certainly quite useful, but there isn’t a lot of documentation on the web about the Time Remap Tool, so I thought I’d offer a basic introduction.
You can create some really clever effects using the Time Remap tool. I frequently see it used in car commercials and extreme sporting footage. With the Time Remap Tool, you can do variable speed changes in your video, and in this video tutorial, I show you the basics of how to do it.
