Teaching Vlogging in Iran
Original post by Paris Marashi on This Iranian American Life
8:55 am | Categorized: ITP 2007 | Comments Off
Here is a look at us shooting video explaining how to start a videoblog in Farsi. We used freevlog.org and node101.org (and many other resources–thanks so much to all of you wonderful people out there), and came up with a new community vlog to get people started: http://vloginiran.blogspot.com
This videoblog is going to be a place for people to begin uploading their videos as they learn about videoblogging, and it can act as a collective videoblog for a number of people to post video to.
We talked about many things besides videoblogging as well… For example, we talked about Wikipedia, Web Syndication, Creative Commons, and how to learn about other vloggers and the vlogging community, through sites such as
http://community.vlogmap.org/
———–Translation:
Aha! Now! Should I start!?
>You remember now [what you wanted to say]?
Yes, Yes!
>Wait
[singing random Persian song]
>>Is the camera zoomed
>Are, zoomeh [this means, yes, it is zoomed, which also translates into Farsi as It is my wish which is coincidentally very funny because of the way that he sings the word, rather than simply saying it]
Ok, so first I would like to talk a bit about the history of videoblogging and what things people video blog about.
——–
You know it is really important that people video blog about things they are truly passionate about, and something that you really really likebecause if you are not excited, then others will certainly get bored!
——–
[showing freevlog.org]
You can go to Blogger, a free blogging site,however you have to host the video on another site, and link between the two sites, for example between Blogger and Blipthey did something so that the two sites work together, so you can cross post video, and they link together like thiswhich is really great, and makes your life easier.
————–End Translation
More people in Iran will be able to learn about videoblogging on local television, or in a public setting (hence the islamic garb), since high speed internet is so expensive here (three to five hundred dollars a month, depending on the speed)…

More algorithmic particle artistry with Motion Theory to produce this stunning new HP commercial, for their "The computer is personal again" campaign. Spinning spools of typographic smoke, shaking the pixels off shoes, and of course, a swarm of gratuitous abstract cool stuff — these composite effects were animated primarily in Processing code with reinforcement C++ coding when needed. Thanks to Gabriel Dunne for doing some of the satellites. Unlike Nike ‘One’, this was quite a chromatic job. I have since gained a personal relationship with the colors magenta (FF00FF) and lime (00FF00). Special thanks to Mark Kudsi and Mathew Cullen, whose talents were absolutely essential to this wonderful project. This is what baby looks like. Hooray for Motion Theory!

Salam (Hello)
My friend: Sir we would like 2 barg kababs, and juicy please.
*birds chirping*
Me: Where are the birds!?
Right here [they belong to the store]
Me: so, you make kabab here. Do you enjoy it?
Very Much (Kheili)! Next to the grill, in this really hot weather… it is so much fun! Your space is empty. (He is very much kidding here when he says this [Jayeh Shoma Khali])
(We all laugh)
Note–Iranian Expressions
“Jayeh (insert name here) Khali”
“(Insert name here)’s space is empty”
Your space is empty here is an expression that is often used in Iran. In this case the guy is kidding with us, but usually when a family sits down to eat, they will say that the space of the person that really likes that particular meal is empty.
Also, when a family reunites after a long time someone may acknowledge the empty space of someone who could not make it (their space is empty unless filled by their presence).
