I had a dream when putting up a website in 1999 that "we would all have television stations on the web" someday. In the beginning, the little movies you would click on at sites like ifilm.com would be hardly watchable. Now a WMV file can be produced and blown up to 19" full screen size. I made an actual "MikeVideo" on the MGI Videowave program a while back titled "ElvisMovies." I now include a downloadable link to "Elvis Movies" which is taking up a lot of space on my server. Although the personal website mania of a few years ago has subsided, and now everyone is blogging, which is nothing more than the "diary" pages I've always had on AllThingsMike, I have seen a slow crawl recently of the capability to stream video and audio from websites. On ElectricMovies, for instance, to make a point about a great piece of cinematography, I can actually include a link to the clip.
Obviously, (The MikeVideo is copyrighted material the Elvis camp will probably quickly remove, although I credit Elvis Presley Enterprises with the material, and Elvis for the talent. I merely edited it together. If I can make room for them on the server, I have all kinds of ideas for video clips as links.......These files are large so far, but with the two Bollywood clips and the Elvis clips, I am now officially streaming video. (Wait a minute, I streamed the "Come What May" number from the Moulin Rouge tribute page and that was 15 minutes long, streamed as both audio and video, so the dream is still alive for the meantime. It is pretty exciting to now acutally be able to put my copy/cut/and paste digital MikeVideos online.
