Hey! I am a craft brewer too!!

[Boerderij_Kabouter]

My filming partner has not had homebrew before. He can be giving a toast with me in 82/83 but if someone else can step in who is brewing for the first time that would be better.

 

[SkewedBrewing]

So, everythings solid now?

Fellow editors, what are we doing for media storage and cutting, etc?

 

[caspio]

Both jamesnw and myself have offered FTP space. I also posted a link two pages back to a sample upload script that makes posting as easy as the big file drop sites, but hosted by myself so no file size limit.

Edit: What sort of file sizes were we looking for? I just did the math, and a decent DSL or cable internet package would take 4-5 hours to upload a 100 megabyte file. I know that large universities actually just mail hard drive arrays back and forth for sharing scientific data because it's faster and cheaper than an internet transfer. If we're thinking a lot higher quality, or if folks just have a slow net connection, I'd be happy to have folks mail DVDs or cds to me and then I can upload them. That same 100 meg file would only take me 6 minutes to upload on my internet connection.

I guess I meant, whos cutting what when and how and all of that sort of stuff...

What program do you use for that FTP front? I looked at some, but yours looks a lot better. I'm still willing to host.

 

[caspio]

It's just some free/open source flash and java scripting. I just took 5 minutes to tweak some settings and dropped it on my server. You can choose the directory it'll drop uploads in, and then editors could be given FTP access.

[olllllo]

LOL... did you get to record in the canyon?

No it was very windy and the sound got too bad for the audio. I have this in HD though, not sure how useable it is but here is the rough cut.

Haha! I hope that's usable!

Way to be King olllllo. But he totally dissed you on the cheers! *Scrambles to find bigger name drop*..not gonna happen.

 

[Joe C]

I will try and figure out when I will be able to get this done, but I am definitely still in!

For about 12 days I'm completely swamped due to work, but I will make damn sure I get this done. I'm really excited to do this.

 

[Tripod]

I am 100% committed to this! Did we establish a date for "get this to me by x/xx/2009"? I went back through the thread but may have over looked it...

[hukdizzle]

If you guys still need people to do this I would be interested, I could probably get a group of people together to do this.

 

[IrregularPulse]

Plans to brew this weekend. Should be able to film my stuff that day. Borrowing a camera from work that we use to film training videos.

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Your videos need to be submitted by Monday June 15. Instructions for uploading will be forthcoming.

 

[olllllo]

June 15 is understandable but not more than 4 days later, some of us will be rubbing elbows with 15-20 of the top brewers, beer writers and other beer rockstars in the country.

That's cool, but this is a homebrewers version, they already had their version. Don't see the need for the bigshots in this video.

 

[cyberbackpacker]

x2! Agreed!

 

[Tripod]

Gotta agree, I like the idea of keeping this among the unsung, passionate ones from HBT...

 

[olllllo]

If it were truly a homebrewer video then we wouldn't use any of the source, but we are, the shots pacing, script.

It's an homage.

Having some of the other pro brewers doing a tribute back at us ties the concept together.

It's a moot point because of the deadline.

I just think you're mad you missed out last year when the NHC was in your backyard.

Is it really that obvious?? Crap. I've been taking a workshop on hiding my emotions, must be a reason the instructor keeps asking if I'm sure I don't have anything better to do.

I see your idea about having them pay homeage to us. I was just thinking of them talking about their brewing and how that wouldn't necessarily fit.

 

[olllllo]

Hopefully we can get it edited and show Stone Greg and than film reactions at the conf. Or maybe we can get Gary Glass to show it at the General Session.

Or maybe we can just get their 2girl 1cup reactions. :fro:

 

[CiscoKid]

Hey guys, I missed this thread since I don't always pop in the to the general beer discussion forum as much as I'd like - but I just wanted to say awesome idea, hope it comes out great.

Oh... and you didn't reach out to Craigtube and ask him to record a spot?

 

[Tripod]

So does anyone have anything new to share on this one? Curious how the filming/submitting is going....

-Tripod

 

[Kelsch]

My shooting will be next weekend, but as of yet, I haven't seen upoading info.

Anybody?

 

[Homercidal]

I forgot about it. Don't think I will be brewing this week/weekend, but I could maybe get the camera set up and do shot with kegerator and homebrew in hand. Or "fake" it with water and burner and MLT (and homebrew in hand).

 

[cyberbackpacker]

Yes, I have been waiting on where/how to actually submit... I pushed this as far as I know how, now it is up to the "tech" guys to pick it up and run with it...

 

[IrregularPulse]

I plan on brewing and filming this weekend.

 

[humann_brewing]

Who wants to host an FTP site? I would but my up speed sucks donkey nuts. Plus I am not the one doing the editing so whoever that is would just have to download everything from me anyways. Who are the editors? Can they host an FTP site on one of their machines?

 

[jamesnsw]

My FTP is available. We're trying to figure out an easy front end for FTPing, but that's being a bit elusive. People who want the username and password to do just normal FTPing of their footage can DM me.

 

[Aleforge]

Please PM me with the details on how to DM someone.
