What began as an audio podcast from the guys at Inside Mac has now evolved into a combination of audio and video podcasts. Delivering regular news and updates from the Mac world right to your iPod Video screens that can be carried with you wherever you bring your iPod Video.
This evolution is testament to how Steve and the guys at Apple are changing the ways we interact. From what used to be garage cable tv shows, we are now witnessing a rise in budget broadcasts. Putting the ability to disseminate information more effectively, into the hands of the common man.
This is also another great alternative for the rest of us who currently do not have access to purchase video content off the iTunes Music Store (ITM) and couldn’t be arsed to spend hours of our lives ripping and converting movies to fit into our iPod Videos. Once again, it looks like Steve has made his “dent in the universe” with his now, infamous reality distortion field.
CARSON CITY, NV. — Dec. 7th, 2005 — Inside Mac Media, Inc, (http://www.insidemacmedia.com) the premiere terrestrial broadcaster for the Mac lifestyle and Podcastings #1 Mac radio program, today announced expanded daily video iTunes content and the launch of Inside Mac TV.
Inside Mac TV will enhance the popular Inside Mac Radio programs by offering a range of visual tidbits, tips, guests, interviews, product information and live event coverage in short three to five minute video clips formatted especially for the new 5th generation video iPods.
The new online media content will download automatically to Inside Mac’s extensive base of current Podcast subscribers and is available to over 40 Million iTunes users worldwide. According to Inside Mac Media, Inc CEO & Executive Producer Scott Sheppard, “today’s video compression technology allows us to deliver the new visual component with a high level of quality yet maintain an amazingly small file size which will not effect the overall download time for our subscribers. We are excited that our audience can now get a glimpse of the hottest Mac products as they are launched and join us in our travels to key events as we spend time interviewing industry movers and shakers throughout the year.”
The Inside Mac TV program is being brought to you by Adobe Systems and DVDxDV.
The opening graphic for Inside Mac TV was created using the powerful motion graphics tools from Adobe Systems. Using Adobe After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator, designers at RHED Pixel created a playful animation to kick off each video podcast. Lead animator Richard Harrington notes that “the speed of working with Adobe products on a Mac allowed us to turn this animation around quickly and meet our launch deadline using only a Photoshop image and a Illustrator file for the logo.”
Russell Brown, Senior Creative Director of Adobe Systems said, “Scott Sheppard’s new Inside Mac TV is as great as his radio show, but in 3D! Put this video podcast at the top of your list for great Macintosh news and information. The interviews and content stand out above the rest.”
The first set of daily videos will feature a series of How-to tips on video production and optimizing video for the iPod. Viewers will be able to see the best way to setup lighting, compression settings, and gear for iSights through high-end HD video cameras.
