Thank you, Metacafe!

I want to say “Thank You” to Metacafe for using several Izzy Video episodes as part of their new production school - which, by the way, is a great resource for people wanting to learn how to shoot better video. Not only do they have some of my video tutorials, but they also have a number of excellent articles.

Please take a moment to visit this new section of their website and check out what they’ve put together as a free resource.

Additional note: Metacafe has licensed the content of the selected Izzy Video episodes for a small fee. If anyone out there would like to do something similar on their website (also in a non-exclusive way), I’d be happy to discuss it with you. :-) You can reach me, as always, at israelhyman (at) gmail dot com.

Izzy Video 56 - Behind the Scenes of Three Point Lighting

izzyvideo56

Izzy Video 56 takes you behind the scenes of a Paperclipping episode, and demonstrates three point lighting. You get to see my setup for 90% of the shoots I do, because they usually take place in my living room.

My New Favorite Comedy: “Flight of the Conchords” on HBO

I love how in this show, the characters will suddenly break into song! You have to pay close attention to the lyrics…

Also, I’m thrilled that HBO is making video clips, as well as the entire episode, available for anyone to watch on their website. It’s fun to watch the show on the television, and it’s fun to revisit it again online.

I laughed so hard!

Best of Izzy Video DVD

Many people have asked me to release an Izzy Video DVD. I’m considering doing that, but I have a question for all of you: If I created an Izzy Video DVD that had many of the most popular Izzy Video episodes (and maybe some additional original content), would you buy it?

I’d probably price it somewhere between $10 and $20.

If the answer is yes or no, please let me know in the comments, along with any of your thoughts on the subject.

It would be a time-consuming project, and I certainly don’t want to put in the effort unless there’s a fairly large interest in it.

My 11th Anniversary

Hi everyone!

Today is my 11th anniversary with Noell, and I need your help. Please visit her blog at www.paperclipping.com, and leave her a comment wishing her a Happy Anniversary. It will only take a few seconds, and it would be such a nice surprise for her.

Thanks so much!

~ Izzy
