THE STEEMIT CROWDSOURCED VIDEO #2 -- 9 lines left, but need videos from existing people again due to hard drive issue.
UPLOAD YOUR VIDEOS UNLISTED TO YOUTUBE AND SHARE IN THE COMMENTS! :)
ok, mini fail to explain before i get started on call outs for the final nine lines, so recently i had a bit of a hard drive issue and i lost a bunch of things from that scratch drive including downloading some of those ones that had already been uploaded to dropbox, i had an issue with balloon too with people not able to upload and well it turned into a cluster ** of a problem -- so i'm busy behind the scenes contacting each of you with rocket chat or sending you a memo on steemit to get your videos again, i know it's a pain and i'm sorry -- i'm working on a better system to have three places for the videos to live in future.
the nine lines we have left to do!
[line4] - the social blockchain is global and distributed
[line5] - witnessed by the passing of data between machines
[line7] - shared among many and voted on with our clicks
[line9] - flocking together in swarms of action and determination
[line10] - step by step, a few moments in time further on
[line12] - where copies of those moments exist forever
[line14] - past, present and future legacy written away
[line15] - waiting for generations to consume and to debate
[line20] - making the world seem a little bit more manageable
[line22] - but we can course correct and change our own behaviours
http://humble.link/spoken_2 <— PICK A LINE! :)
if you don’t know what i’m on about, quickly review the first video we did, it was fantastic, everyone that wanted payment was paid for their quick time to record the line, i stitched them together, made overlays and picked some music to go over the top, i wanna do that again because i loved making it, making is my thing, it keeps me creatively on top of things.
thank you to all the souls that took part in the first one. i know a lot of people really wanted to be in it and never knew about it so i hope this blog post get’s to you so you can at least assign your name to the line that you want to do, i expect these will go quicker each time — also know that the 28 steem it coming out of my own pocket, i am currently subsidising the incentive to record the video because i believe the video message is as important as the rewards from your comments, upvotes and resteems.

ideas and software to record a video
if you have a mac :
you could use photo booth, pretty sure that comes on all macs pre-installed, export the video and drag and drop that across, that should be pretty quick to do, alternatively you could use quicktime player and do new video recording, just check your webcam and audio input source are correct.
if you have a pc :
i’ve not had a windows machine for a number of years now but i’m sure you have stacks of programs to make a video file, if possible export or save in .mp4 format otherwise i have to convert them from .avi or .wmv - try the screencast-o-matic.com website download for pc if you don’t have an app.
record using website and webcam
cam-recorder.com - records a .webm format, i can use this.
screencastify.com - record from cam, push to youtube even (send me link)
screencast-o-matic.com - pc and mac, really cool.
if you have a mobile phone:
try and record the video in 16:9 mode, that is on it’s side not vertical as the final video will look better, ideally in full hd quality. email that video to yourself and then drag and drop that to http://balloon.io/teamhumble or direct messsage me on steemit.chat if you need other ways to send it.
instructions in sending in your video
- head over to this spreadsheet - http://humble.link/spoken_2 - put your @steemname next to the line you will read back for me on video.
- can ignore bad video quality but not bad audio, audio needs to be clear, make sure you pause before you say the line and after so we can cut it together, close up shots, styled shots, fun shots, walking, turning to camera, just make sure your face is ideally in the centre of the screen.
- please title the video file with @steemitname if possible just makes it easier for me to know where it’s from and where it fits in.
- upload that video to me by dragging and dropping it here - https://balloon.io/teamhumble please try and keep the video files small - drop me a comment to check i received it please.
- once i’ve received and verified the video from you i’ll send you payment to your steemit account.
now it’s over to you, upload to youtube! :)
I’m busy getting in touch with the rest of the people that have recorded one and sent and also those people who put their names down but never got in touch, I’ll be trying to get hold of you all before I head out to steemfest 2 so try and get them in quickly, I’d like to close this up so I can do a special one when in portugal! :)
spread the steemit blockchain love! :)

I will be trying to do one of these however. I. Need a haircut lmao.
ha! ok, roger that! :)
Just snatched myself up a line, will try and get a video recorded tomorrow as it is 1am here. love the first video you ended up doing and wanna be apart of the next
absolutely perfect. look forward to getting your video.
Just so you know too i would respectfully decline any payment as well as there are plenty of others here that would make more use of it than me.
that's very kind, ok, i just keep it in the pot then! :)
so i'm waiting for videos (or need to be resent them from) -- @roguefighter420, @paulie2coins, @eric-boucher, @picokernel, @cabelindsay, @meesterboom, @ammonite, @mrslauren, @rootingrobert, @fivefiveeleven, @molovelly, @leotrap, @curiie, @thefedora -- again sorry to those that need to re-record, i will send another 1 steem for your efforts.
just post your videos to youtube (unlisted) and stick the url here and they will play here in the comments and i can download and rip them.
Great stuff. I selected my line (22) and will get try to get it recorded tomorrow while we are on our visa run to KL!
perfecto. don't stress too much, by the end of the week would be cool too. obviously sooner rather than later and all that. best of luck on the visa run! :)
Hey, I claimed line 4! I'm excited to be a part of this. Can I respectfully decline payment?
sweet! i'd love you to take part. no problem if you don't wish payment. i just put it in as part of the incentive. 16:9 clip of video ideally. thank you!
Cool. I don't know what 16:9 means. Am I good if I follow your instructions in the post? Sorry, I'm so not a video expert. I can shoot a little, and I know the file formats, etc. , but that is where my knowledge ends.
my bad. 16:9 means with the camera phone on the side, not tall. no problem! :)
Ah, gotcha! I learned something new today! I'll know what it means the next time I see it. Thanks for the explanation.
I'll shoot with my camera since I have another video to shoot tomorrow anyway. Thanks again for the opportunity. I LOVED the first video!
not a problem! look forward to receiving the video.
Hey @teamhumble! Hope you're well...I was just wondering if there's an update on this?
I scrolled your blog and didn't see anything, but I may very well have missed it.
Thanks!
still waiting on people to send me videos. i'll do an update and see if i can get people to send me their stuff! i'm on it!
