New website provides

New website provides "tools for success" for indie video producers, small video businesses.


By Anonymous



Popular marketing author and consultant Steve Yankee Steve Yankee is back in the video business promotion and marketing game in a big way.



Yankee, well-known in the video production industry for his popular “Master Video” series of instructional tapes, books, special reports and magazine publications aimed at helping independent video makers and small video business grow and profit, has recently launched http://www.videosuccess.com as a home for his new free weekly ezine, a library of helpful articles for videographers, and for his newly-revised “Master Video” programs and books.



“For several years, I’ve been deeply involved with freelance copywriting and consulting for non-video related businesses, leaving the sales of my instructional materials to others,” said Yankee. “But in the past couple years, I’ve had an increasing number of requests to get back in the informational field. And frankly, I’ve missed the day-to-day contact with video producers from around the world. The industry has always been my first love.”



A critical factor in his decision, says the award-winning producer and writer, is the emergence of low-cost digital technology. “The rapid acceptance of digital video hardware and formats and the accessibility of home computer-based non-linear editing systems is a mixed blessing. On one hand, anyone with a dream and a couple thousand dollars can create near-broadcast quality video. On the other hand, established houses are fighting to retain customers to keep their operations profitable, and their doors open. Nowadays, both segments of the video industry need to wear two hats; their producer’s beret AND their marketer’s derby. I’m here to help them with the marketing they need to stay in business.”



Over the past few months, Yankee revamped his entire product line, deleting some programs entirely (“Most of these were far too technically dated to save,”) significantly revising and updating others, including his popular “Master Video Marketing Course,” and wrote three new books for video makers. In addition, he launched a free weekly ezine, Video Success News, which now reaches over 750 subscribers, wrote and edited nearly two dozen articles on marketing and advertising-related topics, and created the new website for video producers and business owners to access information and programs to enhance their skills and profits.

Kindred Spirits and Film Video Arts

Kindred Spirits and Film Video Arts, Inc. Announce the unveiling of a portion of a historic and monumental documentary film entitled
"traded to trading: Portraits of Wall Street in the Black"
by Drunia M. Duvivier and Robyn M. Greene-Arrington
An Inside Look at the Evolution of Blacks on Wall Street


By Anonymous



New York, NY April 22, 2004 -– The unveiling of the trailer for the documentary film "traded to trading: Portraits of Wall Street in the Black" is scheduled for Thursday, April 29, 2004 at 6:30 pm, at Tribute, 26 Broadway. The New York event, which is also supported by strategic partners including, Film, Video Arts; the National Association of Securities Professionals (NASP-NY Chapter); the Museum of American Financial History; the National Black MBA Association; and KIP Business Report, brings a rare look at African-American experiences on Wall Street that is vital to our rich, robust and diverse American legacy.



One of the first commodities regularly traded on Wall Street was slaves—even before the establishment of the American financial markets in the 1790’s. From then on, African-Americans have continued to influence the United States economy, first as “property,” then as keen investors, critical laborers, and major consumers, and now as renowned players in the securities industry.



"traded to trading: Portraits of Wall Street in the Black," is a one-hour documentary that takes an up-close and personal look at the experiences of a variety of seasoned and up and coming Wall Streeters, exploring the challenges these individuals faced, and currently face, as people of color navigating an industry that, until the 1960’s, was almost exclusively made up of white, male professionals.



Cynthia Franklin of the Kip Business Report will serve as the Mistress of Ceremonies for the evening. Additionally, outstanding individuals and organizations will be honored for their contributions to increasing the participation of persons of color on Wall Street. The Robert Toigo Foundation will be named the “Outstanding Nonprofit Organization for Significant Contributions on Wall Street.” This event is designed as both a celebration of this monumental film and a means to raise funds to complete the film.



In support of helping to empower young people with new role models and alternative career options, traded to trading includes revealing interviews with a star-studded cast of African American professionals who have built remarkable careers for themselves on the Street. Some of the individuals that have already been filmed or who are confirmed for interviews are: The Honorable William C. Thompson, Jr., New York City Comptroller, Melvin Van Peebles, First black trader on the American Stock Exchange; Milton M. Irvin, President, Imbot and 1st black Managing Director at Salomon Brothers, Ernesta Procope, President & CEO, E.G. Bowman Co., Inc.; Joseph L. Searles III, 1st black floor member and floor broker on the New York Stock Exchange; Ernest G. Green, Managing Director, Public Finance at Lehman Brothers and one of the “Little Rock Nine” that integrated Central High School in Arkansas; Christopher Williams and Janice Savin Williams, founders of the Williams Capital Group and William Capital Management; Bernard B. Beal, Founder & CEO, M. R. Beal & Company, Fourth largest black-owned investment firm in the US; Patricia Winans, Chairwoman and CEO of Magna Securities Corp; Harold E. Doley, Jr., CEO, Doley Securities, Inc. and Dr. Eugene Flood, President & CEO of Smith Breeden Associates and Guest co-host of Squawk Box on CNBC.



We are also honored to have in attendance, several notable participants appearing in the film and others supporting this project including Senator Carl Andrews, Tony Perkins of Good Morning America, and Advisory Board member Sam Pollard. Mr. Pollard has been a filmmaker for over 25 years, and has produced the acclaimed PBS series Eyes on the Prize and Academy Award-nominated 4 Little Girls before becoming Spike Lee's editor on such narrative features such as Mo' Better Blues, Jungle Fever, Clockers, and Girl 6.



Congressman Charles B. Rangel wrote “ I applaud your efforts to bring to the forefront the contributions made by African Americans in this area. My very best wishes for your success in this venture.” Author Gregory S. Bell who wrote “In the Black: A History of African Americans on Wall Street,” expressed “The trailer is wonderful. I am sure that it is an indication of the great things to come in the full length film. This is an important work because for far too long, television and film have not recognized our stories on Wall Street. Traded to Trading helps correct this.” Kenneth Holley of Atlanta Life said after his interview “I feel that the work you are doing is very important. It's sad to say, but young people don't read as much as they should. No one does, and that makes the documentary films like yours all the more important in terms of passing on history to our youth. Yours is a sacred and important mission and it warms my heart to see you and the people you have working for you acting with such passion. I know you will succeed.”

Reservations: $100 General, $75 for Professional Organization Members, $50 Students with I.D.



Make your reservation by mailing to: T2T Benefit Office, Attn: Drunia M. Duvivier, P.O. Box 844, New York, NY 10268. Make check payable to Film/Video Arts, a nonprofit 501(c) 3 organization. Donations are tax deductible to the extent provided by law.

Using Firewire to Capture Video to Your Computer

Using Firewire to Capture Video to Your Computer


By Gary Hendricks



Learn how to use a Firewire card to capture video from a digital video camera to your computer.

To get video into your computer using a direct-firewire connection, you need the following items:

1. Digital Video Camera The camera is the method of getting a staged reality saved to tape. You can get the a digital video tape's contents transferred to your computer by making sure is has a Firewire port (aka 1394, iLink, or DV port). If you have an analog camera, you need to follow a couple more steps that will not be discussed in this article (but if you are interested, check out Dazzle Hollywood DV-Bridge). More about Digital Video Camera's here.

2. Firewire Cable This is how the data actually gets sent from your camera to your computer. Some new models include a wireless capability for transferring data, but the bandwidth is slow to consider as a viable option right now. You need a cable. The longer the cable, the more you will pay for this cable (typically about 40 dollars). Most Firewire cards will include a cable!

3. Firewire Card in Your Computer Firewire cards are the mechanism by which you can connect your camcorder to your computer. A firewire cable runs from your camera's DV port to your computer's DV input. Firewire runs at a higher speed than a USB cable and has a smaller interface than SCSI, making it an ideal transport for moving digital video to your computer. That's a quick definition of Firewire. Here's more about selecting a Firewire card. Once you've got a camera, firewire card, and a cable, you are ready to get video into your computer. In order to capture video captures that will be used in the editing process, you can use:

1. Video Editing Software Most video editing software has a mechanism by which you can control your DV device and capture video through the firewire cable. The easiest way to find out if your video editing software will function as a capturing mechanism, be sure to use the Help pages included with the software - search for "capture." Some software will allow you to pull in proxy files, which are low-resolution depictions of the larger video files. Some software will for batch capture, which will allow you to mark the entire video tape with areas you want to capture and the software will control the camera (fast-forwarding, rewinding, and recording) for you. This is a nice feature which saves a lot of time. Learn more about video editing software in this article.

2. Software Included with Firewire Card Higher-end (non-OHCI) Firewire cards will sometimes include their own software for controlling the camera. In general, this software is easier to use and more feature-packed than using option 1 (editing software). If neither your firewire card nor your video editing software has no mechanism for controlling your camera to be able to record your video clips... then it might be TIME FOR AN UPGRADE!
