Video advertising for web sites
Panasonic AG-HMC40/41
Ok, so I have to ask. Is this overkill for filming very basic web ads for clients who want ‘em?
Probably, but hell, it’s just so secksy. I want one. Maybe it’s the geek in me (no, I wasn’t a member of the AV club at school) but I want to caress this camera. *aside* the wife seems to think that wanting to fondle consumer (prosumer???) electronics is sick and/or demented. But it’s a good looking camera, and the specs are pretty awesome!
- HD formats – 1080/60i, 1080/30p, 1080/24p (Native); 720/60p, 720/30p, 720/24p (Native)
- Three newly designed 1/4.1 Progressive 3MOS Imagers for full HD resolution
- 12x Leica Dicomar lens (13 elements in 10 groups), 43mm filter , zoom range of 40.8 – 490mm (35mm equivalent)
- Extremely slow, smooth zoom for the precise control needed for dramatic sequences
- Time Date Stamp enables shooting Legal Depositions or Surveillance (not sure about this…who’d want to make sure web ads were legally admissable as evidence???)
Whatever – I want one!!!
Blogvertising and Splogs
Following on from a previous post about blogging for fun and profit, I was messing around with OIO publisher on a couple of other sites and was *really* surprised to see that people are actually buying ads on them.
Now, I can understand that there are companies that might want to buy an endorsement or discrete banner or button ad on a blog that’s widely read and/or written by someone semi-famous. But these ads were bought and paid for on autoblogs.
What’s the rationale behind advertising on a splog? Is it purely to hopefully get some traffic from a site that’s got targetted content and traffic from Twitter and other social sites? Any thoughts?
