OH YES WE DID

author: RYANNE HODSON – duration: 03:16

One of the incredible facts of last campaign was the number of people canvassing for votes for Obama; an incredible army of 6 million people… One of them was our friend Ryanne. Not only did she canvass in rural Virginia, where she and her love Jay Dedman recently moved to, but she was a poll worker as well. For one day she was locked into the polling station. After that, there’s joy. And tears.

STONE SOUP: WE KNOW WHERE OUR FOOD COMES FROM

authors: RYANNE HODSON and JAY DEDMAN – duration: 09:54

A Word of Warning: This is a graphic video. If you do not eat meat and think killing animals is bad, you should not watch this video.

So you like chicken eh? We continue cooking time on UV with a revlog from the other two early birdy mothervloggers Ryanne Hodson & Jay Dedman. Besides being very lovely and friendly people they are certainly no hypocrites. As they write:

“We live at The San Mateo Eco-Village, where we know our neighbors, garden together and learn how to live more sustainably. Part of living sustainably is eating local foods. Harvesting food from the garden and raising hens for eggs is about as local as you can get. When our neighbors Amy and Malaki arrived at the Eco-Village, they noticed a lack of eggs coming from the hens. Both have an agricultural background from years of working on a farm in Kenya. What do they do in Kenya when a bird gets too old to lay? They eat it. The whole damn thing! So we, as a community, decided to do just that. Most of us had never experienced living with chickens, let alone killing them for dinner. Growing up in the United States allows us to be vastly ignorant of where our food comes from- meat and vegetables alike. We thought this would be a good education for us city kids.”

BEING GRATEFUL

author: JAY DEDMAN – duration: 01:33

There was a time, long long ago, let’s say spring 2005, when videoblogging was as fresh as daisy. There was no YouTube, no Revver and the like; just a bunch of crazy video fanatics who discovered the beauty of publishing video on the net, using the technology that was already there: The technology of the weblog template in combination with RSS WITH ENCLOSURES. One of the founding fathers of videoblogging is Jay Dedman. Here’s how he introduced his own vlog, Momentshowing:

“What is Momentshowing? Well, it’s just a step beyond Storytelling, which was what we did when speaking was the only way to communicate. Now we are adding visual tools to our voices. You can record short Moments, arrange them, and post them with some words. I can then see people all over this planet show their world. Iraq, for instance. Michigan. Shinjuku. San Paulo. What’s it look like? News doesn’t show us but we can show each other. Funny, serious, weird. To me, this videoblogging thing is hot as shit. How often do you get to come in on something so new? My friend Peter and I jumped in after a two hour fevered talk through Central Park. Then we found other people on the web with simliar ideas. Make no mistake: we’re making all this up.”

We republished one of his earlier works before, LOOKING AT THINGS; today, because it’s spring (and exactly two years after this moment was posted) we revlog an early hommage to the love of his life, RYANNE HODSON.

LOOKING AT THINGS…

author: JAY DEDMAN – duration: 00:58

Of all the videobloggers in the wide, wild world there is one man I adore mostly indeed. For he is a good man, a kind man, always helping others, working like a maniac and above all, he is the one and only true Vlogfather, amen. (Am i sounding pathetic? Please pardon me CLARK ov SATURN).

Jay is not only one of the earliest birds in the videoblogging community, he is truly one of it’s inspiring visionaries. From the moment he met PETER VAN DIJCK in the early spring of 2004 he was immediately hooked to the new medium of the Vlog, bringing a new way of video distribution, but moreover, a new way of communicating. Together they started the Yahoo VIDEOBLOGGING GROUP (June 1, 2004) and the rest? Well the rest is history.

Since then Jay, together with his fiancée RYANNE HODSON, helped setting new (technical) standards, writing, filming, teaching & creating numerous video blogging projects like FIREANT, VLOGGERCON, HAVE MONEY WILL VLOG etc.

We now present to you one of our favorite videos from Jay, only 1 minute long; a true Momentshowing…
