YouTube Movie

The power of online video, especially YouTube with its amazing amount of content which is being added to all the time, is immense but somewhat underutilized at this point in time.

Video outlets on the Web, along with social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter, are now beginning to be used for political change, as can be seen in Tunisia and Egypt right now, but what about social change?

Online video can certainly offer an insight into other cultures and the lives of other people in countries most of us will never visit. And that is what documentary film Life In A Day, otherwise known as the YouTube movie, aims to show.

Life In A Day

Life In A Day began life at the beginning of July last year when anyone and everyone was asked to film themselves going about their normal business on July 24, 2010.

In total, around 80,000 people from 192 countries submitted 450,000 hours of footage. This was then whittled down to just 1 hour 35 minutes of footage and compiled into a film by director Kevin Macdonald and producer Ridley Scott.

The end result is a documentary that gets down to the grassroots of film-making, showing ordinary people living out their lives. It sounds boring but it’s actually utterly compelling for its duration.

Watch Life In A Day

Life In A Day had its premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on Jan. 27, and it was live-streamed on YouTube at the same time. It is being rebroadcast on YouTube today (Jan. 28) at 7pm local time.

After that it’ll be some time before you’re able to see Life In A Day, because National Geographic films picked it up for a theatrical release. It’s due to show in movie theaters from July 24, 2011, exactly a year after the footage was shot.

Life In A Day is well worth a watch if the lives of other people is of any interest to you. And unlike other documentaries, this is pure footage, with no gimmicks, glitz, or glamor.

How it Works

Following a quick install, the FreeZ software is basically a window with a video screen to the left, and off to the right is a large selection of channels within a number of different categories.

The FreeZ TV channel categories include:

• Entertainment
• Sports
• News
• Government
• Weather
• Shopping
• Etc.

What does FreeZ Offer

A cursory scan of some of these channels shows that, although there are some fairly well known sources such as the BBC, FOX, NBC, etc, there are also an obscure body of program streams that I’ve never heard of (such as ‘IBA Channel 3′ and ‘Tros Sterren’?)

For the adventurous explorer, I suppose this could provide plenty of opportunity to learn something new about a different country or culture.  The selection of different channels offered is impressive, if obscure.

My Demo of the FreeZ in Action

Reviews and Feedback of the FreeZ

CNET offered a somewhat-deservedly scathing review of the FreeZ software, noting some of it’s flaws and limitations. I agree with a lot of these observations, particularly the comment about how the software during install tries to sneak in a toolbar into your browser, so uncheck this unless you want that added in.

I personally had trouble getting FreeZ to work initially (it crashed a couple times with inconsistent errors: once it crashed for a missing .dll file, another time it just up and vanished with no apparent cause) but once up and running, it’s a handy program for checking out television from around the world.

And as aside, as a user of a fairly older computer, I’m reluctant to use any application that could potentially be pronounced “freeze”.  But if you’re looking to peruse some new and unusual TV, FreeZ is worth checking out.

The History Channel website offers a variety of full-length episodes that can be viewed in entirety online.

What the History Channel Website Offers

The History Channel website offers a number of interesting full-episodes of programs to watch online, such as “Hero Ships” and “Cities of the Underworld”. In addition, the site offers a interesting variety of clips and videos from other programs from their lineup.

Whether the offerings of the history channel really go above and beyond “sensational” history is another story completely – the impression I get is that a large volume of the supposed historical episodes have to do with UFOs, Nostradamus, and the unexplained.

Navigation and Finding Full Episodes to Watch

From the main page of the History Channel website, simply clicking on the ‘Video’ tab routes you to a comprehensive listing of all of the channel’s current show. Conveniently, the shows that offer full episodes are marked with a red “Full Episodes Available”, a nice touch when other sites (like Disney, for instance) make navigation to full episodes of programs more of a difficult task.

In addition, this main video page also breaks down the collection of videos by category, allowing you to find programs of interest based on topic (although “Mysteries and the Unexplained” seem to take up an unnecessarily large section of the categories. Well, whatever.)

Viewing Episodes Online

I selected “UFO Hunters” (as that was always my favorite aspect of world history in public school…) and was routed to the page for this particular series. Following a brief commercial, the first things broadcast were a short succession of video clips from “UFO Hunters”. You need to click another tab for “Season 1 Full Episodes” in order to get to full-episode segments, broken into 10 minute playtimes.

The audio and video worked fine for the video, and offered features such as full-screen and email sharing options. It’s just the selection of subject matter that remains a little questionable, and makes me wonder: if this represents history according to the History channel, then why did I have to learn about Louis XIV in school and not aliens and Mayan 2012 predictions?

Other Features of the History Channel Site

The History Channel site also offers a guide to current programming, a large number of games and multimedia applications, a store for purchasing various episodes, and info about their magazine.

The site is comprehensive, and above and beyond the full-length episodes there is a lot of interesting content to check out.

ToonJet offers a large selection of full-length classic cartoons that can be viewed online.

What is ToonJet?

ToonJet allows you to watch free online cartoons, with many full-length cartoons that can be viewed right within an internet brower.

An interesting feature of the site is the ToonJet Live feature, that basically allows you to watch the equivalent of a live cartoon channel as its streamed through the site. I was able to tune in and right away enjoy a Porky Pig cartoon already in progress, much like tuning into a live show.

Cartoons Offered

In addition to the live streaming cartoon, you can also select a tab to view cartoons for various categories such as:

• Betty Boop
• Felix the Cat
• Looney Toons
• Popeye
• Superman
• Tom & Jerry

You can also opt to receive content via RSS feed, so you can keep up with the new content being added.

Other ToonJet Features

You can create a user account with ToonJet, and use it to identify and save favorites, as well as befriend other ToonJet users.

ToonJet also offers a blog (with fairly outdated content as of this writing). I would have liked to see a little bit more, such as some image galleries or games, but as it stands, the video content of the site is plentiful and enough to keep me occupied enjoying classic toons.

Video Sample from ToonJet

A Repository of Classic Cartoons Online

As a big fan of the classic cartoons of long ago, ToonJet is a online treasure of toons such as Bugs Bunny, Superman and Tom & Jerry. The live streaming option is a nice touch, but it’s nice that there are categories of videos to select from if you aren’t in the mood for whatever the live channel is offering at the time.

YouTube Progresses

YouTube is becoming much more than it once seemed it would ever be. Already by far the most popular online video destination on the Web, serving one billion videos a day, it’s now turning its attentions to professional content as well as the bread and butter of UGC.

YouTube has already done deals with a number of media companies which have added movies and TV content to the site. Channel 4’s 4oD being a prime example. Sporting events are also now being added to the roster.

Indian Premier League Deal

Google has announced a deal with the IPL which will see all 60 matches in the 45-day Indian Premier League cricket tournament broadcast on YouTube.

This is a big deal, as the Indian Premier League is the largest cricket tournament in the world, expected to generate $1.6 billion over the next ten years.

The deal sees YouTube showing the whole tournament in every country around the world with the exception of the United States. This is explained because “re-broadcast options will be available,” in the U.S. I can’t see too many Americans being bother though as cricket isn’t exactly a big deal in the States.

Advertising Revenue

Google and the IPL will share advertising revenue. But Google India clearly has big plans for this event and the sponsors it will likely attract, saying:

“The advertising options on YouTube will be available only for a limited number of sponsors over the course of the season. Companies will have the opportunity to sponsor live streamed matches, match re-broadcasts, and ongoing viewership of clips and highlights. Advertisers will be able to advertise on the YouTube homepage, the live stream page, video ads during the match itself amongst several other innovative formats.”

This is the first live sporting event to be broadcast on YouTube, and I’m wondering how much money Google has paid to secure these almost-worldwide rights.

Conclusions

Although YouTube carried coverage of the Beijing 2008 Olympics, it was only available to watch in countries not covered by television deals. And even in those countries, it was only highlight reels and daily wrap-ups.

This is something much bigger and much more telling for where Google wants to take YouTube in the future.

CBS has an interesting gimmick going on at their Ad Labs site, in which you can view advertisements in order to watch CBS full-length episodes online. Will this trend take off?

Watching Ads for Free TV

To get up and running, you need to register with CBS, and the registration process runs fairly quickly, prompting you for a username and password along with other information. You can also log in with a facebook account.

Once you create an account, the CBS AdLabs page presents you with basically two options: watch ads or watch TV shows. Your current credit balance is also displayed on the screen as well.  You start off, obviously, at zero credits.

Selective Ad Watching

I started out watching a few ads to grab some credit. Selecting the “Earn Credits” link routed me to a page in which I could select which ads I wanted to view, each earning 1 credit.

This sort of gimmickery reminds me of some of the “make money online” sites, that pay you something like the 100th of a penny for every advertisement you view, but in the case of Ad Labs, you’re just building up a collection of credits for viewing CBS programming.

The ads are fairly standard ones: luxury cars, blackberry devices and credit cards, etc. Nothing overly exciting, but they pass quick, and you can always flip over to a different browser tab while they run.

Thoughts about the Ads…

One of the nice things about this system, though, is the fact that you can select which ads you want to watch. You aren’t at the mercy of CBS but rather you can scroll through a long list of adds and view these for credit.

Truth be told, this could be a neat system if CBS included a few movie trailers in the mix, but instead the selection of ads isn’t the most exciting.

At least CBS does offer a feedback form at the bottom of the page, so if enough folks write in to suggest that CBS ad some half-interesting movie trailers (namely anything without Owen Wilson) there might then be some improvement to the site.

Watching Shows with Earned Credit

The shows are currently limited in selection to programs like NCIS, Numb3rs, and some of the CSI programs. So I selected ‘CSI: Miami’ (if for no other reason than to catch a David Caruso philosophical-sunglasses zinger).

An episode of CSI:Miami required two credits, so I needed to sit through two ads prior to proceeding, but once the ads were done and the episode was started, it was refreshing to be able to watch the full episode, totally commerical free (even if the episode of CSI was completely contrived.)

Other Thoughts…

Its fascinating to me the level at which television has mutated over the years. Gone are the commercial breaks inbetween segments of the show, and now we can “earn” our way around these ads by simply watching a few selective ads at our own convenience and then get rewarded with our show.

Although I wonder…

What is it, though, that keeps the viewer from starting the ad and then jumping to another tab? Or reading a book?  True, “traditional” TV ads are no different: you can always get up and walk away from those ads too, so is this basically the same paradigm?

I have to wonder if this sort of system will catch on, or if this will just be another gimmick that never quite takes off because the same programs can be found somewhere else without the cost of commercials?  It will be interesting to see what happens.

Telemundo offers a number of full-length Spanish television programs that can be viewed in entirety online.

Telemundo – Spanish Television

Even for the mildly-Spanish literate, the Telemundo website offers a number of programs that can be viewed online, in addition to various video clips from numerous Telemundo television programs. While the site offers no direct English translation, the navigation is obvious enough that you can easily access the video page to watch full-length Spanish television episodes.

Getting Started

From the main Telemundo site, if you select the “Shows” tab, you are routed to a page featuring a number of programs that can be viewed online.  Some of the content is a little questionable, with numerous images and articles featuring scantly-clad bodies interspersed throughout the site… enough that I wouldn’t recommend Telemundo as ideal viewing for all-ages. Anyhow, on the right of the page you can select the program name that you would like, and then you’re routed to a page for that show, with links to articles, images, and extras. Clicking ‘videos’ will route you to a section with “All the videos” and there you can view full episodes (broken into 3-part segments.)

Playing the Videos

The episodes all started without any problems and the video quality is fine, as is the audio (translational differences notwithstanding.) The video player features the standard controls for play, volume, etc. Programs with full-length episodes available include:

• 12 Corazones
• Al Rojo Vivo
• Casa Cerrado
• Levántate
• Nitido

Other Content on Telemundo

Telemundo offers plenty of other content on the site, including galleries of images, music and, oddly, a page for new and used cars. Again, though, with content favoring scantly-clad women and sexually-suggestive video clips, I would not recommend this site as appropriate for all-ages. But for fans of Telemundo and Spanish programming, the site is plentiful with content.  It also serves as an excellent means to validate your 10th grade Spanish language elective.
