Vlogging, podcasting and the right to free expression
Filed under: Sundance, Podcasts
While Sundance is definitely known as a place for burgeoning filmmakers to show off their creative chops, elsewhere festivalgoers can hear industry-types discuss hot topics with different moderated panels. In the Digital Center, Cinematical and Weblogs, Inc.'s own Jason Calacanis moderates a discussion about the future of video on the Internet, especially relating to filmmakers. In addition to Jason, other people on the panel include Susan Buice, director of the film "Four Eyed Monsters" along with its associated video podcast, Mika Salmi, founder of Atom Films, Ken Rutkowski of KenRadio, and "SoccerGirl," creator of a wildly popular video podcast. We've split the files up into two chunks, so read on for part one!

Hey,
If you're having trouble playing this file, make sure you have the latest version of Quicktime. It should play, and if it doesn't, try playing it in iTunes.
Thanks,
Randall

The audio on this file is atrocious. I've tried playing in Quicktime (version 7.0.4, the latest) and in VLC and cannot make out anything being said. I tried subscriing to the podcast in iTunes and getting the file that way, but it's just as bad. Someone should either re-encode the footage and do a better job of compressing it, or you should just pull this entry altogether, because it's an insult to the good people who participated in the panel to leave it up as it is.
It's an interesting topic and I'm sure it's a fascincating discussion, but it's all rendered useless by this poor presentation.
