Video frustration

Ever since I learned that I could take videos as well as stills with my little digital camera, I've taken some clips here and there, where I thought it would be interesting. I started when I was in Cuba last January, and saw programs of the children's theater group, Las Colmenitas, and performances by the Psycoballet. More recently, I've recorded some African dancing at the National Hispanic Cultural Center, as well as during a performance at Rodey Hall, at UNM. And yesterday, I recorded a spontaneous performance of the Rogue Bindis, dancing to Le Chat Lunatique during a free concert in Old Town Plaza. Full of enthusiasm, I ran home and tried to upload the clip, and another one of the little kids dancing after they've seen the belly dancers. Then I fund out that there are limits to the size and length of videos that can be uploaded to Youtube. I haven't made sense out of it yet, but my clips are 2-3 minutes long, but high resolution, so it takes hours and hours to upload them, if at all. I have one working right now, and we'll see if it works. I did upload one of only a few seconds as a test, and that was successful. It's of little Emma running away.

Meanwhile, I came upon a Michael Moore interview by Keith Olberman which was interesting. If you want to take a look go to

I'll write another post if I'm successful in uploading my own videos.
