They are different from each other, and infact the different models of C414 are quite different from each other, while the older U87 sounds a bit different from the new breed U87i. Any of them should however be fine for VO work though. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/voice-over-and-the-akg#post-72052 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 03:57:56 +0000 Charles Schultz 72052@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I am a big fan of "if it ain't broke don't fix it" The demos the I heard on your web site sound great. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/voice-over-and-the-akg#post-72050 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 03:33:48 +0000 birdcat 72050@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I agree with Rob - Your VO's sound great.  If you're comfortable with your current setup and it is still producing high levels of quality, why change it?</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/voice-over-and-the-akg#post-72036 Wed, 02 Nov 2011 17:33:47 +0000 robGRAUERT 72036@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I listened to some samples on your website.

I personally LOVE the move of the current and recent posts to the top of the forum column. This is really great and beats having to scroll down to them. Thanks for making this change. I think many will continue to go to the topics and select where they want their originating post to live, but this will help casual readers and others looking for specifics cut to the chase and see what topics are hot and perhaps not miss something. Could see a bit more action IMHO, on slower topic posts.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/comments-critisisms-please#post-68253 Wed, 25 May 2011 22:20:41 +0000 Digital Media Moments 68253@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Hi guys,</p> <p>Thank you so much for your feedback.

The only thing that looked a little odd was the bullet points not being aligned with the text that follows on the "How it works" and "Order" pages. Maybe there could be a way to do those without bullet points to keep everything lined up nicely. The other thing is maybe centering the row of links at the bottom of each page. Since the graphic behind it has a centered hot spot, it seems like the links text should be centered to line up with it. Aside from those two little things, I think the site looks beautiful.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/comments-critisisms-please#post-68216 Tue, 24 May 2011 06:18:20 +0000 Moab Man 68216@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>About Us</p> <p>Creative video editing is an art form in which our team <strong>has</strong> (not <strong>have</strong> unless this is U.K. English vs American slaughtered English) many years of experience.</p> <p> </p> <p>The website looks good, but it really needs every nook and cranny crawled over.

It is never finished, completed or perfect. A web site, by the very nature of its dynamics will always be a work-in-progress.</p> <p>There are simple and effective web sites. There are complex, dense and entertaining web sites. There are websites that never work, some that work on occasion and others that appear at first glance to be doing everything they should and attracting eyeballs unlimited.</p> <p>The philosophy of web site creation, navigation and production is broad, bridging many thoughts, concepts, real experiences and opinions. There are purists and amateurs, and those among them that should share more or say nothing, or have no room to talk.</p> <p>The primary question a web site developer of any rank or persuasion should ask of him/herself is - does mine work for me? And within that question is a strata of layers that if honestly answered, provide the thoughts that go to improving this work-in-progress. And any web site's measure of "effectiveness" can only be judged and qualified based on the expectations of the person creating it - first.</p> <p>Yes, others have opinions. Some will hate it for no specific reason. Others will love it for the same. Some will stop and peruse, others will jump off immediately. Some will respond to a call for action, or leave in a huff the first time their order doesn't go through properly - whether the fault of the site or human error, or not.</p> <p>There are proven tricks and tools, methods and approaches and there are approaches yet to be developed, tried and proven. There are bad and wrong things to do, and things a person can do that as right as they may be are not going to work for them, their particular service, product or program.</p> <p>In the final analysis, yes there are many things that can be done better, and there are a host of things that can be disastrous. But there's no perfect right or wrong way, and no perfect solution or formula. Hence, our sites will always be works-in-progress.</p> <p>Some are willing to learn, experiment, adjust and challenge themselves toward improvements. Others just want to glow and brag and have everyone who visits their site tell them how perfect the site is. Whatever it takes.</p> <p>My personal approach is less rhetoric, less glitz, more concise and understandable and easy-to-find information, simple navigation and less layering requiring the visitor to determine where exactly the web site information is that they're looking for and how to get to it in the least amount of clicks.</p> <p>That's just me. Simplicity. Easy navigation. Basic information - availability (and how to contact me on every page), where I am and at least an idea of how much I cost). My products and what I do (samples work best here) and less of why they should use video, or photography or the latest and greatest technology. If the web site visitor wasn't already sold he or she would be visiting.</p> <p>IMHO a website isn't for "selling" it's for getting the visitor to follow through on an action he or she has already sold themselves on.</p> <p>In the above respects I continue to use the "hammer and handsaw" philosophy as it applies to the diversity of tools for web site building and development - whatever it takes to build a house.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/website-qc#post-61677 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 11:15:38 +0000 aaroninbna 61677@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p><a href="http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-web-development-tool-do-you-use-or-prefer#post-61676" rel="nofollow">http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-web-development-tool-do-you-use-or-prefer#post-61676</a></p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-web-development-tool-do-you-use-or-prefer#post-61674 Sun, 22 Aug 2010 10:48:58 +0000 SargeHero 61674@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I have used Webs, Weebly, iWeb and Ning (deleted my account before they start charging) I don't know one thing about HTML, well I know how the embed a video, that's a start :-) For me having the website is just for informational purposes, contact info and having my video portfolio. As a video producer I don't have time to learn HTML, Javascript, Flash and if there are FREE ways of doing a website I don't see it as an immediate thing to learn. Luckily my brother knows all that and use Dreamweaver. </p> <p>Promoting the business online is having all the videos in as many videos sites as possible, Facebook, Twitter, etc and for that exact purpose I used TubeMogul, but my account was suspended for having commercial content and a business account charges from $50 to $1500 a month with a 1 year commitment. There is also Traffic Geyser, but is $97 a month, but some peoples comments are giving me a lot of doubts. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/what-web-development-tool-do-you-use-or-prefer#post-61660 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 23:57:58 +0000 aaroninbna 61660@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>This thread is dedicated two of my closet friends, <a title="Rob Grauert" href="http://www.robgrauert.com/">Rob Grauert</a> for his original thread "<a title="Website QC" href="http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/website-qc">website QC</a>" and <a title="Heidi Mueller Design" href="http://hmuellerdesign.com/">Heidi Mueller</a>.</p> <p> </p> <p>When developing a website, what program, if any do you use ?</p> <p>Criteria is...</p> <p>1) The program name</p> <p>2) Your experience (it really doesn't matter because if you want to learn, we will teach you)</p> <p>3) How you promote yourself or business online...</p> <p> </p> <p>and basically any additional information that will help those in need.</p> <p> </p> <p><a title="Please Play Nicely" href="http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/website-qc">Please do not step on this thread</a> because it is intended to help those in need.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/website-qc#post-61659 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:42:40 +0000 SteveMann 61659@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>OK, how's this.</p> <p>I tried to use Wordpress and found it too complex and restrictive for my taste.  Either you take the short-slope learning curve and use the multitude of templates that are available with some modification, (and look like all the other websites using the same template), or you take the very steep learning curve and you develop your own templates.  I wanted to spend my time on my business of video production - not building a website.</p> <p>I found WYSIWYG Web Publisher and have been exceedingly happy with it.  It uses a UI that I am very familiar with having been a Visual Basic programmer for my productive years.  You put objects on the page and set up the objects parameters.  When you like what you see, you hit "publish" and WWB generates the HTML code and optionally FTP's it to your site.  Your site can be as simple or as complex as you like.</p> <p>Now, before you purists flame me about the "messy" code that WYSIWYG programs generate, here's two things to consider.</p> <p>1) I am in the business of producing videos - I AM NOT a web designer and I don't intend to become one, so I don't need to know nor care what the HTML code looks like.  Just as long as the page looks good on most browsers.</p> <p>2) In addition to not caring what the code looks like, as long as it works, WWB is the only web development tool that I've seen that passes the W3C Validation.  Dreamweaver can't.  Can wordpress?</p> <p>3) And the price is reasonable.</p> <p> </p> <p>Steve Mann</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/website-qc#post-61658 Sat, 21 Aug 2010 18:52:57 +0000 aaroninbna 61658@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>hmueller stated:</p> <p><strong><em>"I asked if anyone had used WordPress, and I get<br /> comments from people who had not." </em></strong></p> <p>The only person that said that they never used it was the owner of this thread.
