Adrian has created a quicktime template for users to add their own video clips. The idea is to encourage vloggers to begin thinking how a quicktime file can contain simultaneous links to multiple videos, text, sounds, images etc.

It will be interesting to see how this works in ANT or Mefeedia. Livestage Pro is the software used and it really opens up the power of quicktime: moving sprites (hotspots) within the video, multipanel video, scripted sprites can open up new browser windows and new quicktime files.

I had thought that this kind of interactive work was too early for vlogging. Livestage isn’t cheap! But Adrian’s template opens up at least the beginning of interactive play within the vlogosphere.

I’m all for hypermediafying video on the web, it seems like a natural progression. My personal flavor/expertise would be with Flash, which isn’t necessarily freeware either. I’ve made several interactive videos in Flash. My intended solution to putting those in my “vlog” is to simply make a linear video of the interactive in action… with a link to an interactive version. That way viewers can get a taste in their regular aggregators.

Looks like you and Jan both posted “rhizomeOne” files… but both failed to display in my version of ANT.

A wonderful use of the medium. Loved the babybabbling.

Do you think this system will ever be able to be aggregated?

there’s something powerful about the juxaposition of the baby and the torrid ocean toward the “beginning”.
