Wow, thanks for the solid peerpsctives and honest opinions. It really means a lot and is invaluable to us in the process of making this little concept a reality. Let's just start from the top:Steve I love the idea about crowdsourcing the problems of video on YouTube or similar. That may tie in directly to our next step (discussed more below).Char I stay behind the camera 99 percent of the time for a reason While this was my first time actually on screen, all the innuendos you pointed out (and that I continually point out to people when shooting) really do have an impact in how an idea is communicated and received. I've already been perfecting my on-screen persona' so hopefully it'll only get better.Juan It's a good point you make about the mock-up being a better representation than our written words. The exercise was half for our own benefit, helping us refine our elevator pitch,' and to play off of Aza Raskin's presentation where he emphasized the importance of communicating an idea clearly. It's good to know what works well and not so well. Thanks for the input.Phillip We hear you loud and clear. We might even have a few tricks up our sleeves..Brett We love RadioLab's Popcorn.js demo. Honestly, we hadn't seen it before we started to develop our own idea. The SoundCloud-style comments are similar to what we have in mind, but hopefully our end result will be a little cleaner or at least clearer than the SC interface. Communication is key for us, especially since the project is geared toward newsroom integration.The heat map is one of our favorite parts, but in the grand scheme of getting this thing together it will probably be toward the bottom of our to-do list. Our immediate next step is putting something tangible out there. We're far from programmers ourselves and are seeking a little on-the-fly guidance as we go. PLEASE don't hesitate to chime in. Well, if you've made it this far in my comment response I'm assuming you're genuinely interested in unlocking video. Since Noah and I aren't programmers we're a little torn about the best route to go for the prototype/tangible example. So we're asking you: Should we do a motion-based video detailing cahoots or attempt to get a web-based version up, likely using SoundCloud as a temporary comment interface? The video may be a bit more labor intensive, but we know we can do it. The whole javascript thing is still a bit new for us, so the web prototype would be taking a leap of faith.Blog comments are cool, but if you want to kick it in real-time find me on Twitter @ClayDuda. Best, and thanks again.
