Everyone knows "Youtube"is for video! If you are interested in having multiple views so you can boast about how popular your video is then Youtube is the place to be. I recently heard about Wistia and decided to check it out. This is a video hosting site primarily for people who have web pages that promote products but there is a special offer that interests the hobby videomaker and that is to have a free account so videos can be linked to Facebook and Blogs.
I took some snippets of video at a recent event and edited them together - and making the snippets even shorter - just to try things out for myself.
I doubt if you will be too enamoured by the music - by being close to the large speakers I have very distorted sound - plus the sound from Korea and from Japan is very different to Western music.
I am happy with the quality of the video that I am getting from Wistia - uploaded from my MacPro as a Quicktime movie and converted by Wistia.
I hope you find the video interesting. The Gold Coast, which is 75klm South of Brisbane is home to people who originated in many different countries. Approximately 33% are from places other than Australia so we have a very rich mix of cultures. Wonderful!

Currawong song
I have just uploaded another little video that I made today. A group of Currawongs flew in this morning and set up a choir. I couldn't resist grabbing a camera to make a record of them - I love the sound these large birds can make when they get in the mood!
The Currawong are quite a large bird - double the size of the European crows and magpies I would reckon that from top of the head to the tip of the tail would be 20 inches or 50+ centimetres. They are a meat eater and like nothing better than a mouthful of finch pie. Look at that wicked beak!
Although it is really easy to encourage Currawong to come to be hand fed I do not do this - in fact I chase them away because I prefer to have the nectar and seed eating birds around. I am not encouraging the finches to come in to be fed just so they can be an easy target for Currawong and for Kookaburra.
Most of the time, when a Currawong comes by it has a musical but short call that is repeated. When a group of them fly in it is different. They seem to make an all out effort to sound like a well rehearsed choir! It doesn't happen all that often so when it does I am always enticed to go outside to listen to them. I hope you enjoy the sound that accompanies this short video.
