Web Video Q&A Sessions
Hello Asia Online Video Members!
Well, folks, believe it or not, I was in fact one of the web's very first "video bloggers" back in 2000 when I was a member of a small group of "DV Guerillas" on Singlereel.com and the now-defunct Radicalzoo.com. And, then afterwards we soon started up the great TokyoDV and below is a link to an archived front page from those very early days of 2001:
http://web.archive.org/web/20010203204600/http://tokyodv.com/
And, as you can see we had FOUR (4) complete Quicktime clips running right on the front page! Well, of course, that is nothing compared to these days, but back then, those four little videos, were, in fact, four more than the majority of all other individual sites on the web at that time.
Well, obviously, times have certainly changed very quickly, and we have come a very long way, but the changes and advances in web video technology will happen even more quickly from now on, for sure. So now I am very happy and excited to launch this new "Asia Online Video" social network and within these forums I hope to be able to help others and also get help from some others too. I really want to make this a very user-friendly and comfortable but informative forum for sharing web video information with all members of this network. And, of course, I have many years experience behind me and I have learned a great amount, but I certainly don't know everything - no one does, and, I seriously doubt, that any one person every will "know it all" when dealing with web video and web video production and distribution technology. Therefore, it is my hope that this forum can become a valuable resource and information center and help all active members in some way or another in the ever-growing web video world.
Thank you all in advance for your participation and for providing any information that can help anyone in any way here.
Sincerely yours,
Rob Pongi

I remember your first videos, they were awesome! I started gaining interest in Japanese pop culture around '96, and boy was it hard to find good information back then, much less videos. I had my own website for a while, but couldnt keep it fresh enough. When I discovered your site, and Tokyo DV, it was pure awesomeness! The clips were pretty much exactly what I wanted to see: Tokyo scenery, comedy, and girls! And now, lo and behold, I'm gonna be making my very first trip at the end of this year, 10 years in the making!

WOW! Thank you very much for your very nice Eric! I'm looking forward to when you come here soon. And, yes, indeed, those were the 'good old' days my friend! And I remember back then that all these people here in Tokyo thought we were "nuts" or just "wasting our time" by making videos and uploading them to the web. Well, look who is going "nuts" now: THE WHOLE FREAKIN' WORLD!!! HELLO!!! :O)
Cheers!

Hey Rob,
When you're out filming, and you're behind the camera, are you still wearing your ROB PONGI outfit, or civilian clothes?
What program do you use for editing video? I don't do too much editing, but I usually use Final Cut Pro, and After Effects for motion graphics.
