Women of Warcraft

I thought I’d take a moment to answer a few emails- questions that aren’t really deserving of the Dumb Question Arena.

• Donna, a new viewer writes in and asks: “how do you get the video to be so clean and pretty? The quality is wonderful, and I can’t tell if it’s because of your equipment, because of the delivery format, because of the service that you’re using (I saw something that talked a bit about blip.tv )…whatever it is I’m much impressed. Without giving away any trade secrets could you share any of that?”
  

Well Donna, I believe the reason the cast is such great quality is because I am OCD about the editing . I use standard Apple applications that came with the computer. iSight (the built-in camera/video camera) & iMovieHD (video editing/movie making software) are what I use to create the video- which ends up being about 3GB in size when I am done in iMovie , I then compress it to “share” for iTunes/iPod. This process makes it viewable on the iPod, and reduces the size to around 40MB. I’m not sure if that means anything to you, but those are the steps I take when I create it. The style contributes alot to the quality I think too- go back and check out the first few, then compare to the latest episodes. The difference is almost unbearable

If anyone has any more questions about this- shoot me an email.

• A few people have been wondering where the audio show has gone.

I am not sure. I want to start producing more audio episodes, but am kinda stumped on the details. I don’t want to put shows out that I can’t stand behind, and be proud of- and that would be me blabbing on about unleet nonsense.

I do want to start up again though someday- the vidcast is simply more my forte right now. So to all you audio fans: take heart and send in ideas if you would like- you never know what may inspire me to plunge back into the audio arena.
Well that’s all I have time for right now I don’t want to yammer on too much.

If you all have any more questions- you know where to send ‘em: womenofwarcraft@gmail.com
