One of the biggest hassles in producing online videos where you are dealing with talent, filmmakers, editors and producers is trying to figure out a good way to show everybody rough cuts of your work and get everybody's comments. I recently discovered Pando, which is a super-simple way to transfer large video files to a whole bunch of people via email. All you have to do is download the free Pando software, upload your video, and email away to anybody you want. Then they just have to download the software, log on, and check out the video. Highly recommended for video makers of any kind.
Who Wants To Make A Funny Video On Saturday?
Hey "people who like to make funny videos".... I've got a couple comics (one of whom was seen on NBC this week) who are looking to shoot a pretty simple (and pretty funny) American Idol-related video this Saturday, but they need a filmmaker to capture their greatness. Anybody free/interested in spending a couple hours on Saturday shooting a video?

Behind The Scenes Comedy
There's a lot of different ways to make your mark in the world of online comedy, but it seems like the key to really standing out (besides being really freakin' funny) is to take a different approach from the kind of material that's already out there. A great example of this is the Patrice Oneal podcast, which launched a couple months ago.
Unlike most video podcasts, each episode of Patrice's show doesn't feature a sketch - it features the making of a sketch. And the behind the scenes antics of Patrice and his crew are consistently more hilarious than most regular sketches you'll ever see. Check it out....
