Rawk Shop - Village of the Arts - Bradenton FL
A quick video I made about the Rawk Shop, a cool little store a few blocks away from us in the Village of the Arts. This one even has music (by Kevin MacCleod, downloaded from his wonderful incompetech.com site.) Fancy, eh? 
One problem with these free video hosting services is that delivery quality is awful. My original video is dead-clear. Grrr…..
NOTE ADDED LATER: I’m thinking I might use YouTube for “quick and dirty” hosting, but upload clear versions to ourmedia.org in MPEG2 or some other less-crappy format than Flash that doesn’t take a proprietary player — but may take one hell of a long time to download. Internet video delivery is always a “good - fast - cheap: pick two out of three” situation. Except it’s one out of three, really.

[...] A narrated look at the place where I live, complete with background music. Nothing special or touristy; I wanted you to see the ordinary, everyday aspect of this small (but growing w-a-y too fast) Florida city on the banks of the Manatee River that is consistently overshadowed by neighboring Sarasota. For another look at Bradenton from a different point ofview, check my Rawk Shop video from a few weeks ago… [...]

I enjoyed the tour of your shop. Valeri and Melissa, you are both so clever and keep coming up with new and intersting projects. Jo-Ellen
