I'm not sure if he thought it would be a good idea, or if it was his polite way of saying, "Leave me alone. If you write about it, it would be less annoying and easier to ignore."<br /><br />Either way, here I am. The only problem is, <a href="http://www.ineedcoffee.com/04/coffeepods/" target="new">I learned how to do it from a blog</a>. So I didn't want to just rewrite someone else's words. How about a video showing just how easy it really is. Not just a video, a duel camera video. That would be a challenge, so that's what I decided to do. Here's how I set the whole thing up.<br /><br />The main camera (a Canon ZR850) would shoot down at my kitchen counter. Two legs of the tripod set in the sink with the third on a TV tray.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lonnie.iphone/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCIbVq9HD5JSnXg#5427913858329251778"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBSK5sD1hKPgD-9yeAVtqYU7c5_19fbp39Jbct0AdrcbIA2_T1gWkGC6B2HdORKcWA2fJM2tXdaqb2LqgWwTK9M8SD2tJvha-1WxL_tyfFUcS2_pP5IgeMfV43zGZZy_5vy7U2jbNbldAt/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="300" width="400" /></a></center><br />This camera fed a small black and white monitor in my cabinet, so I could see what I was doing.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lonnie.iphone/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCIbVq9HD5JSnXg#5427913870623203778"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgoVllFx_xGjpiaHw2GNdSigTdQcZasyQQxAZwIeZYDRTCu5VsrAziry6fkUEDy2zt9HUEIKhs5oI38zoYm2de1-MwdAFhKFnjevSDYyf_LCkh3zssDAR7T5Yx61B_dFSmDTx7v1DYhzyYy/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="300" width="400" /></a></center><br />Next to the monitor, I put my Flip video camera. And so I could see what it was shooting, I put a mirror behind it. This is also the camera that captured my audio.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lonnie.iphone/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCIbVq9HD5JSnXg#5427913885149338818"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOPJQGd6v-QxQ4ZhZRliawQhcEK8MOUcswYgqu7i0fY042TUZanYfo1uOL_AcAUcfDBIvgOozNH825UsQrEUU7149cJZZ0lQg4SRpbeXNLxrxhvCws07KJswDBd3l9It8Cfmdd4fKeQcjj/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="300" width="400" /></a></center><br />For lighting I just the kitchen lights (CFL bulbs,) an incandescent shop light reflected off the cabinet door to soften the shadows on my face, and I mounted a small fluorescent tube light under the cabinet to help with shadows in the work area.<br /><br /><center><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lonnie.iphone/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCIbVq9HD5JSnXg#5427913896769150466"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi09ZJhneL9Jblc8QzWkXS3AIe-GLuvnGLb04Zoo561-FOhJamrFV-wMna7IIYV37TjEhXnP-UqARtD-0JPd4ZjbuNAEqzZ3CwNZcul_PlosbL2m1BAeAoJwhznLzspMAHYEeRRCHKueN8F/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="533" width="400" /></a></center><br />I set my iPhone in a <a href="http://twitpic.com/mvwis" target="new">Mini DV tape case</a> next to the Flip to keep time.<br /><br />Now the setup sounds all well and good, here's where I take a left on What! street.<br /><br />To show how easy it is to make the coffee pods, I would do it first thing in the morning. No showering, no brushing the hair, no changing out of the PJ's. Just out of bed and shoot a video.<br /><br />Where's how it turned out.<br /><br /><object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/HScYfoHRMro&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/HScYfoHRMro&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"></embed></object><br /><br />Editing was super easy. I used Adobe Premiere Pro, synced the two videos and cut out a lot of my morning head.<br /><br />Just as simple as that.<br /><br />Remember, if you're gonna consume internet, you gotta feed internet.

What a pain. It would be so much easier if it wasn't my stuff. I could just shovel it all up, fill trash bags, and toss it out. But it's all my own crap that i kept for some reason or other. Now I have to go through, examine each item and determine if it has reached it's expiration date of usefulness and sentimental value.<br /><br />Old birthday cards, blurry pictures, obituaries, news paper clippings, those are the tough things to sort through.

This weekend I could have attended some kind of ABBA event, a quilt show, or the opening of On Golden Pond at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">MCT</span> (I should have picked this one because The Notebook wiped out my memory of the story, and everyone else says it's great.)

I <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">dought</span> that. I'm cheap, and for a large load, I use a little less than what's suggested for a small load. But to recharge my towels I needed to wash then with no soap and a cup of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">vinegar</span> and then wash them again with half a cup of baking soda.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href="http://picasaweb.google.com/lonnie.iphone/DropBox?authkey=Gv1sRgCIbVq9HD5JSnXg#5389077633647939570"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBxCZMGzgvszQyVBURt4VDXpm3SxqqCJbMXrnDhrJ1o4CfkwweSC7pA24BLVa1Ci95sk2Lgm0ZTKIDPVMssZlipA1CWXPeeR4pAdjzsW49RzAPyvlTi6g9u-7itg8X18OBscb75sdQD8VJ/s288/iphone_photo.jpg" style="margin: 5px;" border="0" height="281" width="210" /></a></center><br />I'm game.

Sounds impossible, but it's not. You could even do it with a simple netbook.<br /><br />Yahoo's JumpCut is shutting down in June and YouTube killed their Remixer, so I checkout a few alternatives.<br /><br />I used a Flip Ultra to shoot 23 clips of my drive to work. The video totaled six and a half minutes and around 170 mb's. Uploading to each site took a little over 45 minutes (that's 7 minutes upload for every 1 minute of video.) I think the long upload time has more to do with my cable connection than the sites' limits.

It claims to have titles, but I couldn't get them to work to work. The editing is set up with a bin and an A-B time line. You drag your video from the bin to the time line and add transitions between the A and B (like the old Media100.) It also has a handy Snap that makes it easier to put your video together in the somewhat stick flash environment.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHITQwIYBtBwOLE5ojMe4B6vRY6rVrrjouIU0Q7XRs4Gf5ylu_3K2iypVngPQXJiSLUb1N7sugdTryoBydiy3fb-166hjZ8qt3wf6zHp4u6loG1FMeCx9EAQehl4lhCrcDOHo-C6H1ktmo/s1600-h/jaycut2.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHITQwIYBtBwOLE5ojMe4B6vRY6rVrrjouIU0Q7XRs4Gf5ylu_3K2iypVngPQXJiSLUb1N7sugdTryoBydiy3fb-166hjZ8qt3wf6zHp4u6loG1FMeCx9EAQehl4lhCrcDOHo-C6H1ktmo/s320/jaycut2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324720130208019074" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The words "patience is a virtue," appeared many times while uploading and editing.

Audio levels can be set for each individual clips as well.<br /><br />Adding dissolves is a bit tricky (for now.) You'll need to drag a clip to the "titles and overlays" section and fade it in. The "titles and overlays" section may be the best feature of this net app. Each video added gets it's own layer (a bit like Adobe After Effects.) This allows for complex layer effects, like multiple picture on picture and even chroma keying (green screen.) Other effects include alpha channels, blur, brightness, color key, drop shadow, edge detection, emboss, enhance, fade in, fade out, greyscale, HSV, invert, opacity, RGB, sharpen, and x-ray.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8iu_8TMdji5QGLWrmDGLdYazLjhcscv1R9VbA_FWg-fKm9ZckFR2kgiIf8kvRZsufJ5P72-dq0TU7KhJeW6EW3q7U2MBZgmUujp5wR2iCo_ppcpUN1ZWBsHEsbN6DxfrLcGSy7xpt7RO/s1600-h/fx.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 195px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH8iu_8TMdji5QGLWrmDGLdYazLjhcscv1R9VbA_FWg-fKm9ZckFR2kgiIf8kvRZsufJ5P72-dq0TU7KhJeW6EW3q7U2MBZgmUujp5wR2iCo_ppcpUN1ZWBsHEsbN6DxfrLcGSy7xpt7RO/s320/fx.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5324722193954135106" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Video can be edited in normal 4:3 or widescreen 16:9.
