We’ve been wanting to explore using video for some of our reviews or interviews. During yesterday’s snow storm, I experimented with combining our audio review of Dominion Stage‘s The Wild Party with the press photos they provided us. I will admit I’m not thrilled with how this turned out, but for a first attempt, it’s not bad. Adding captions to the photos will help, and our audio was far too long, which ended up that each photo is displayed for around 30 seconds. Some of the photos are very blurry, because of the way video and photo compression kicked in with all of the processing that was done.

We’re wondering if having video reviews or interviews would be useful or not. Let us know.

We were wondering what else we could do to encourage local community theater. Would it be handy to have some custom wallpaper for your computer’s desktop showing all the shows in that month? Here are all of the community theater shows playing in January. There are two designs, one uses squares for opening and closing […]
