Video Podcast By Dick Hardt

So..for my video podcast, I watched a keynote address by Dick Clarence Hardt, who is the CEO of Sxip. This podcast was a couple of years old and about identity and the internet. This is just background because I am actually writing about the format he used. There was very little video of Mr. Hardt. The majority of the video was his voice showing what looked to me like a quick powerpoint presentation. I actually enjoyed it very much. He intermixed pictures and words to accentuate his points. Other podcasts that I have watched have been mostly direct video of an event. I have watched the finals of card game matches, interviews of politicians and sports personalities, and the weather person. These videos have been like short movies. They include pertinent information and video of the people talking as well as background video. This podcast was one where you could hear the words being said, but not see the speaker. On the screen were words or images related to the words, flashing quickly past the screen. It very much felt like a narrated power point presentation.

This was a unique presentation. There were times when I was distracted by the images and missed the words. I noticed that since I chose live streaming that the rewinding of the podcast was difficult, so I just let it go by. I was more interested though in the subject than I thought I would be, primarily because of the format. I looked forward to seeing which images he would use in this presentation. In other formats, audiences may tune out the interviewer, or close the podcast because they get tired of listening to the same person and seeing the same things. I know that long podcasts I have watched of games have been difficult to sit all the way through. The length of this was just about my limit without wanting to stop and get up. The streaming option I chose did not allow me to stop it where I was, so I watched it through to the end, mostly because I didn't want to have to do it again. I did enjoy this podcast and would like to try to create one using this type of video. I am not entirely sure how I would do it though.

One more thing to try...........
