Snow hits OKC. Again.

NewsOK providing live streaming video, radars, downloadable apps, and way to share your video.

But it’s not as bad as last week. And it appears to be about over, if that green stuff on the radar is any indication. It was late to the party, then didn’t stay as long. I’m ok with that.

Here’s a morning video update, taped around 6:30 a.m. The OKC streets didn’t seem nearly as slick as last week, which wasn’t much fun. Still, there’s a lot of snow out there and it’s powdery and loose, so it’s slick in a snow slick way, not an icy slick way. I’m clearly not a meteorologist.

You had snow, camera, and nothing else to do…

Is Chris Paul a punk? I don’t think so

First thing every Monday and Thursday, I arrive in the office and set up the studio to tape Berry Tramel and Jenni Carlson. Usually after a quick debrief, we get into taping 2-3 segments that will post on NewsOK over the next 2-3 days.

Today, we quickly decided Tramel should go sans jacket and sport a sweater. And that the topics would be Chris Paul (I believe he doesn’t flop anymore than anyone else), Bedlam hoops (I’m spoiled with the pro game, college doesn’t have the appeal it did) and Super Bowl pics (I’m a Dallas fan. Really? Green Bay vs Pittsburgh?)

Good stuff above, Tramel and Carlson are getting really good at the on camera stuff. Big thanks to the local Dunkin’ Donuts franchise for sponsoring our “Press Row,” which is typically our most regularly viewed video segment outside of breaking news and weather. And Sooner football.

Big thanks to our friends at Eskridge Lexus for sponsoring our Thunder videos. Our video coverage consists of post-game press conferences and analysis from Darnell Mayberry and John Rohde at the Oklahoma City Arena. We will have weekly studio shows with Mayberry and Mike Sherman. And Thunder Fastbreak segments, like above, after every road game.

Those aren’t mug shots…

Here we go again

Was hoping we would have a calm, easy, El Nino winter.

Guess not.

We use Brightcove at OPUBCO. I’m a big fan of Jeremy Allaire, CEO of Brightcove. In my opinion, many of his business strategies have been brilliant.

Brightcove has grown from just another video platform to a leading solution for many very large media companies. They have consistently rolled out upgrades.

We don’t fully utilize their APIs, I’m hoping we can change that this year. This means more live video and better streaming solutions across mobile devices. And it means distribution across other platforms such as Livestream and YouTube.

I also admire Allaire’s thoughts on leadership. I believe there is a needed creative area between black and white. But some people simply need everything structured.

Jeremy Allaire: “Those even became tenets for me in terms of my management style — a kind of laissez-faire approach to allowing people to self-direct and peer-collaborate to figure things out and get things done here. That attracts a certain kind of person. There are other people who can’t thrive in that — they need things spelled out, they need their five tasks.”

2011 Prediction: Forget About Viral Video: Video «

davemorris — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 03:47:44 +0000

“Fortunately, as the audience grows, the industry matures. The concept of the stand-alone viral video is finding itself eclipsed by more companies coming to realize that creating content for a central brand and working to build the audience for that brand should take precedence. That’s why, in 2011, it seems inevitable that the notion of “viral video” as a core element of the industry will fade away. The funny cats and footballs to the groin will never disappear from YouTube, but the focus instead will be on the creation of recognizable brands, producing sustainable content that can be connected with advertisers.”

5 Predictions for Mobile in 2011

I agree with Mashable’s statement:

“Smartphones have had the capability to record video for a very long time — and the hottest phones on the market all include the ability to record and upload HD footage. Still, we haven’t seen mobile video take off quite the same way as photographs.”

Despite most everyone’s phones having video and access to Facebook and Twitter – you still don’t see much video sharing on social media locally. Maybe in 2011?
