The other day I did a video interview with Bill Vick of XtremeRecruiting.tv.

On Skype. And it was recorded. Pretty darn neat if you ask me.

Here’s the interview.

How do you do this? You use Skype.com, which is free. Then you download a piece of software called Call Recorder from Ecamm.com. ($15). I should mention this is Mac only. Anyone know how to do this on a PC?

When you start Skype, you tell it to record the conversation and well, it does! That’s it. Pretty darn neat way of doing video interviews.

What’s the #1 question you have about creating, editing or marketing Web video? I’m asking you to tell me because I’m trying to decide how to focus the 2.0 version of OnlineVideoToolkit.com. Yep, I’m upgrading it, and it will still be free! Thousands of people have enjoyed it so far and now it’s time to help thousands more!

So, go here and ask me the question you most want to know about Web video. I’ll answer your questions live on the preview call next Friday. If you can’t make the call, don’t worry, I’ll send you the recording if you sign up.

What’s the #1 question you have about creating, editing or marketing Web video? Ask me right now.

In this world, you have to give to get back. So when I started getting about 10 emails a day asking me how I make my web videos, I had two options.

1. Create a guide about how I do it and sell it for profit. Or…
2. Create a guide about how I do it and just give the darn thing away, for free.

I choose the free route. Introducing, OnlineVideoToolkit.com. A free video guide that shows you everything I know about making web videos using inexpensive equipment. I produced about 10 videos showing you all my secrets about lighting, set design, cameras to buy, clothing tips, sound, etc… It’s all there, with more to come.

I even have a contest for the launch. Want to win my Flip camera? Watch the video below. Note: The dates have been extended on this video, you have plenty of time to enter, don’t worry about it.

I hope you enjoy it!

I use Sony Vegas to create my videos. I want to use Final Cut Pro (which is more elegant and fun to use), but I’m not paying for it… So I use Sony Vegas because it’s the best tool for the costs involved.

Lately I’ve been doing a lot of video editing, and trying to step up the production of the quality of my work. My friend Shawn turned me on to YouTube and showed me that there were hundreds, if not thousands, of free videos on YouTube that show how to use Sony Vegas.

Side note: When was the last time you searched YouTube for something… anything. You’d be surprised what you can find.

Back to my point. If you use Sony Vegas at all, I have some nice links for you here that showcase galleries of Vegas tips and tricks. Enjoy, and here’s to you making a video in 2008!
