There’s a new Newsbleep up! This one was recorded on a Gregg family gathering in Pella, IA, nearly under everyone’s nose (except Holli’s). That’s right. It was kinda spur of the moment, and I didn’t have a script going into it, so I just filmed stuff and contrived a story later on, but little ideas of what I was going to do along the way.
There is an entire other website devoted to Newsbleep: http://newsbleep.milesrausch.com. And it’s a vidcast-enabled site, so that means you can subscribe using iTunes or you can use any other Vidcast program by subscribing to the feed. And, as if that’s not enough, you can watch to the vidcasts on the website itself using a nifty quicktime player. To watch the video, go to Newsbleep 003: All’s Not Well-a In Pella.
The weekend was neat. We first went to Hawarden, and watched their Homecoming game, which they won. Marissa’s boyfriend was king, and I got a video of it, called J-Rad Is King.
Then we rose really early to drive to Council Bluffs to pick up Holli’s grandpa, Lauren Leaders. He remembered my name, which was neat. Eventually we made it to Pella, IA, where we watched Central College play The Knights (Wartburg, I think) and I got this video of a touchdown, which was completely by accident.
This Newsbleep was interesting because I experimented with changing contexts; taking a video or picture that is in one context and then using it for another. It made writing this a little challenging in that I wanted to weave a cohesive story that made sense within it’s own context by taking elements out of their context. But, I enjoy the end product, and I really like this guerilla method of Newsbleeping, where people have no idea what I’m filming them for or how I’ll abuse their likeness.
If you have a chance, watch the show Studio 60 On the Sunset Strip. It’s awesome. Pictures from the weekend are in my Newsbleep 003: All’s Not Well-a In Pella.
Awesome Newsbleep, babe! I’m very impressed with the cohesive story from such random videos/pics this weekend! You clever man, you! :)
It’s “J-rod” not “J-rad.”
Calling him that seems creepy. He’s “rad”. The name makes sense.
I think my favorite part of that was watching you run in front of the Pella sign. :) And the fact that you talked about the church- but failed to have video footage. Your creativity is amazing! Way to go, Ryles!
You amaze me. I hope that doesn’t sound weird.
I’m gonna speak for both myself and fellows since i know he won’t comment. It was hilarious and we spread the word throught the Twin Cities.
oh yeah, we tied for 2nd place but we didn’t win any money because the person we tied with must have gotten closer to the monday night total score
