Rode Videomic Progress, Working on a Cr-48 Review [12/23/10 Vlog]

[FailAtGame]

Hey man..

Just a little thing I was wondering about randomly; do you view the video making as a job or more of a hobby? Or just something you really enjoy; but spend extra effort for because you get paid for it?

It wondered me because on one hand it's really obvious you have a passion for the video making, but on the other hand you seem really eager to expand your kingdom(^^), and have really professional filming hardware etc.

Also love the viewer interaction you have!

[TWILTalks]

@FailAtGame um, can I answer yes to all? I started doing this because I loved the YouTube community, I loved the Linux communities I had been a part of, I loved making videos, and I wanted to merge them all.

Now that I'm getting paid to do it, it definitely adds a whole new level to the experience, but it's still all about putting out good content that I enjoy making, and hoping you guys will enjoy it.

As far as the hardware, I figure if I've got the funds, I might as well upgrade. :)

i have a feeling that jeremy should have headed to thisweekinlinux forums :P nevertheless finally caught up on your videos and nice to see so many of them out( or at least it seems like a lot when playing catch up lol)

[TWILTalks]

@non91 :P thanks. It feels like I put out a ton of videos, but I really don't put out as many as i'd like to.

[non91]

@TWILTalks you still put out quite a bit imo :)

[JeremyPassarelli]

Opps! It said it because to me, it looked like a one, but then realized after posting the comment about the command, it was an L!

[JeremyPassarelli]

When I run the command "alsactl -f /var/lib/alsa/asound.state store" as root, it is telling me:

-bash: alsact1: command not found

It says to run this in the Beginners' Guilde!

[JeremyPassarelli]

Gentoo. I have Arch now!! yay! How do I get Arch branding? And how do I get a dark theme?

[TWILTalks]

@JeremyPassarelli There are a bunch of arch wallpapers and artwork. If you just search for "archlinux" in pacman, you'll probably find some. Offhand, I know of archlinux-artwork and archlinux-wallpaper at least.

For a dark theme, I usually use shiki-brave, but that's in the AUR.

[JeremyPassarelli]

It stopped booting when I rebooted! It says: Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on unknown-block(1,0). Then It says something about a call trace.

[TWILTalks]

@JeremyPassarelli was the kernel panic on Arch, or on Gentoo? 

[JeremyPassarelli]

Merry Christmas! :o)

[JeremyPassarelli]

When I installed Gentoo, I tried to install Xorg and it said to run startx, but when I ran it it said no screens found! So, I installed the Nvidia drivers (tried and tried, but said the module was not found!!) So, I am going to try Arch now, and see how that goes!! :o) for Arch (Maybe!), but :o( for Gentoo!

[TWILTalks]

@JeremyPassarelli after you installed the Nvidia drivers (I guess you used emerge to install them?) did you modprobe them or reboot?

[JeremyPassarelli]

@TWILTalks modprobe. I don't have Gentoo on my system anymore, I am using Arch now!

[RobLoach]

Happy Holidays, TWIL!!!!! Glad you got a few days off :-) .

[TWILTalks]

@RobLoach thanks, and same to you! :) (and yeah, you see the Starcraft battlechest. ;P)

[RobLoach]

3:03 OMG, I see Starcraft.

[UbuntuHelpGuy]

Your not saying Røde wrong, cause nobody except Danes can pronounce ''Ø'', without saying it wrong xD Danes will get people from other countries to say: ''Rød grød med fløde'', just because its fun to hear people say: ''Rod grod me' flode'', because they think ''Ø'' is an ''O'' xD - ''Ø'' sounds like if you say O and E together :) Anyways, great with some updates, my friend :)

[TWILTalks]

@UbuntuHelpGuy hehe, thanks. :) I kinda figured it was that way with the proununciation.

[lindsaymobil22]

Merry Christmas Jordan! Have a happy new year too! Or Hogmanay (Scottish new years eve)

[TWILTalks]

@lindsaymobil22 Merry Christmas indeed. :)

[Donflorgon]

You said you copying the video over. Over to where? Do you have trouble with uploading videos to youtube from Linux too?

P.S. Be on the look out for a video im about to put up.

[TWILTalks]

@Donflorgon I was copying the video from the built-in storage of my HD camera to my computer. I don't have any issues uploading to YouTube.

[Donflorgon]

@TWILTalks oh, ok. Well, I had to re-encode the video before it would upload on youtube.

Please check out my video, let me know what you think.

[Iamthemaster2]

Ha'e a fine Hogmanay frae Scotland if i di'nae see ye b' then.

[TWILTalks]

@Iamthemaster2 yup, those are words. :P

[TWILTalks]

@Iamthemaster2 and after rereading, they make sense. :P

[thejoesteiger]

What happened to the challenges?

[TWILTalks]

@thejoesteiger the challenges had to be put on hold. Just way too much going on. I talked about it in a vlog right after the KDE challenge ended.

[thejoesteiger]

@TWILTalks oh, ok. Did you like my challenge idea? ;)

[thejoesteiger]

You got a whole studio thing going on there

[TWILTalks]

@thejoesteiger sort of, yes. :)

[kcj1993]

Sweet. Looking forward to the Cr-48 video. :) Thank you.

[ultimatenerd22]

what song is that sheet music?

[TWILTalks]

@ultimatenerd22 I believe that's something by Yanni. New age hippie stuff.

[ibrahimalghamdi94]

i liked the video before i watch it :D

[TWILTalks]

@ibrahimalghamdi94 awesome, thanks. :P

[Justgoodvids]
