NYC-TV Is On The Air!

Just finished posting the first episode of my videoblog, NYCreative. Between constructing the site and producing the video, it's taken me 2 weeks to get the thing going. So far, so good. Only one problem which I hope to solve soon; I can't compress the video too small or it messes up my transitions. Unfortunately, this makes the video take quite a while to load. (So be patient if you check it out.) Otherwise, everything's cool. The site looks good and I feel good about it.

Ever since I was doing public access television almost 10 years ago (can't believe how the time flies), I wanted to produce a show like this, where I'd cover the NYC arts scene. I did do a poetry show, called WORDS! (this was before Def Poetry), but I couldn't get it past one episode. Thankfully, I discovered videoblogging, as this has allowed me to remain completely independent, with my only limits being what I create. On top of that, I have a global audience. You can't beat that with a stick!

The first episode is just me giving an overview of the show and what I'd like to be doing in the future. I never thought I'd actually find myself in front of the camera, after having been behind it so long, but it's been a good experience. (It's time that I step outside the box anyway.) I might even make other appearances from time to time, but it won't be a regular thing since my focus is on the people and events I'm covering.

Now that the first one's done, I can catch up on my other blogs. (At least until I start shooting the next one.)
