Last night, Stephen King (of the Institute for the Future) was graceful enough to give me some video soundbytes about the future of online video. As you might expect, these get weirder each clip.
1) Stephen speaks about the eventual merger of online video devices (20 seconds)

He discussed the difference between legacy television viewing ("leaning back") and online video viewing ("leaning forward"). Obviously our attention span is different for each task- 30 minutes to hours for "leaning…
I like scoring my videos with copyrighted songs, but I started to realize that it’s not sustainable. So now I’m carefull with copyright issus — using royalty free content or my own creations on GarageBand (Mac).
