Creating TechFlash HDTV, Video Motion Graphics, Live Streaming, HD Videos

Posted by: Tim Reha | Tuesday, December 15, 2009 | 0 Comments |

From from 2001 to 2005 John Cook was always on my press list for Venture All Stars and Investment Forum events. Well almost always on the list, accept or the private investor pitch events where zero press were allowed due to SEC regulations.

This year I caught back up with John as he was the host for the WTIA 2010 Predictions event (I produce WTIA TV).  A few weeks later at the DEMO Innovation Meet-up in Seattle, John and I decided to shot an impromptu video interview with VC and angel investor guests. Since we both travel in the same circles John invited me to collaborate to shoot TechFlash’s 1st Anniversary Party and Trival Challenge.

For the project, it was clear that TechFlash needed a birthday gift. I created a new “corporate imaging package for TechFlash that included custom branded motion graphics package with sound effects. This was used for the intros and outtros for each video.  At the event Colin Christianson and I setup both a live stream and HD video studio used to interview guests at the even to tell their stories and the 2010 Outlook.

Emergence of the Real Time Data Jockey - “RTDJs”

Posted by: Tim Reha | Tuesday, July 14, 2009 | 0 Comments |

The high growth trends and convergence of social media, web video and real time internet communications tools such as Twitter will create a new demand for real time content producers.

There is an underlying meme for each trend that has a form of “viral energy” associated with the trending topic. For example, Twitter displays a list of “trending” keywords or topics based on text analysis of the real time conversations happening on Twitter. On Monday, there is a trend for posts tagged “#MusicMonday” and this is listed on the right sidebar on Twitter. When you click the link “#MusicMonday” you will see all all posts related to this trending topic. The Twitter community uses the “#MusicMonday” hash tag (adding the # sign in front of a word, makes it unique for searching Twitter) to spread the word about their favorite music. Often, other users with Retweet (RT) their friends #MusicMonday Twitter posts to share this with a new group of Twitter users. This is how messages spread like a rapid virus on Twitter and other social networks. Take a look for yourself for a Twitter search for #MusicMonday http://twitter.com/#search?q=%23musicmonday…
