Help! at subMedia

About Us?

At some point I’ll write something a little more eloquent. But this here thing some folks call subMedia is:

An idea

A website

A production company

A soap box for my filthy mouth

Not satisfied? Someone once wrote a nice article (link)

Communicate

So you love me or hate me. Your order is fucked up. You have an awesome recipe for vegan chili. You wan to hire me to make a video. You want to drop some revolutionary ideas but don’t want to post in public. Yep that image below is how to do this. I know it’s not a clickable link, just trying to curb the spam robots.

If you are super paranoid, you can snail mail me anonymously to the address below:

I want to screen your super cool films! or I have a great public access channel/pirate radio show, can I re-broadcast your stuff?

Fuckin sweet! We have page that explains our syndication methods here. You can also buy one of our DVD’s. No screening fees, no broadcast fees, just the purchase is good enough. Make sure to tell us where and when the screening is happening and we’ll help you get theword out. Most of subMedia’s films are compiled in Molotov #1, Molotov #2, Ground Noise and Static and It’s the End of the World as We know it Season 1 Season 2 and Season 3 DVD’s.

But I am a broke ass, I can’t afford the $10 for Molotov.

All of our films are downloadable MP4’s at 640 by 480 at 29.97 fps (what!) which is NTSC compliant (double what!!) and can be played nicely at full screen using a laptop and a video projector, converted to DVD, conformed to PAL, dumped to tape, ripped to WAV or MP3 etc. etc. For ripping I use a free software called MPEG Streamclip which works for Mac and PeeCee. For Linux geeks, there some good info here. Most of the films can be found on our RSS feed. Please note that we also show other people’s work, so read the description or the credits. If it says subMedia or has our logo, go for it.

I want to be featured on your website or RSS feed or Molotov.

So you want to join our guerilla army of info-warriors -OR- You have cool mash-up where you make Hillary Clinton say stupid things -OR- You made a documentary about the best way to soak beans. Whatever it is, send me a link. I’ll review it and make a decision. Don’t be bummed out if I don’t pick your film, it doesn’t mean it’s not good, it just means I didn’t it fit into what I am trying to do here.If it gets picked, the bestest, fastest way to rock this out is to upload to Blip.TV. and send me a link. This allows me to “stream” the video on my front page playlist and link the video to the RSS feed. I have not found any evil corporate connections with the folks at Blip and they have an option where you can store your clips on Archive.org which I highly recommend. Please do not attach advertisements to your clips. So here are the spec for the videos.

Format: MP4
Video Compressor: H.264
Size: 640 x 480, Millions
Frame Rate: 24 or 30 fps
Audio: AAC, Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
Data Rate: 1000 kbits/sec or above
