The holidays are all about relaxing, eating deliciously fattening food, and spending time with family and friends. For some of us it’s also about finding some spare time to write new scripts for video projects, shooting video, cutting video, and hopefully uploading new content for the world’s viewing audience to watch and ideally share. If you were planning on doing a holiday parody of LMFAO’s “Sexy and I Know It” video you are either too late, or against some big time competition below.

I have lots of planned projects for 2012 and I trust that you likely do too! Keep in mind that by posting your video or film projects on Spidvid; you can connect with talent who wants to collaborate and partner with you, build your teams, share credit and compensation, and distribute your content to UnleashVideo and earn thousands of views! This is all easily done from your Spidvid video creator account! Or if  you don’t have a project to post, then you may want to check out the active Spidvid projects.

Happy holidays to you and your family, friends, followers, fans, subscribers, and pets too. The holidays are meant to be relaxing, but keep production projects on your mind because right now has never been a more perfect time to cost effectively create and distribute online video entertainment!

Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Chrismukkah or whatever holiday you celebrate, from myself and the Spidvid team

To all our US community members and blog subscribers; we give you a big time thank you for joining our open video production movement, and wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday full of tasty food and good times spent with friends.

If you happen to get some time between eating turkey and watching football to create a video, don’t forget that you can improve it by teaming up with Spidvid talent. Talent that has the skills you don’t have but need to improve your video on the production and/or entertainment side.

And a quick (and obvious) tip for tomorrow’s Black Friday, shop online in your PJ’s instead of waiting in long lines for hours at stores. And stay away from all Apple stores… you’ve been warned.

To all of the video creators, filmmakers, writers, actors, directors, producers, editors, story tellers, VFX and music artists reading this right now, get out and enjoy this beautiful July weather. Better yet film a video, and collaborate with our community to give it the most entertainment and production value possible.

Easter is a fun time of the year when it’s all about being creative (as can be seen above), and eating yummy sweet chocolate and candy. It’s also a good time to create videos that involve bunnies, egg painting, chocolate overdoses, and thrilling Easter egg hunts.

Easter is a good time to be around kids to bring back the magic of the holiday, so if you don’t have children then visit friends who do, or participate in a public event to see how excited the little ones get around this time of the year. Just be prepared to deal with hyper active behavior. What a great time to get the camcorder out to film and capture the spirit of Easter, and who knows you may get some footage capable of going viral and reaching the millions of people who will be seeking out entertaining Easter videos.

If you do decide to make a short video or film and you need some help with post production or anything else, be sure to tap into the talent of our community. If you don’t have the time or energy to create a video this weekend then just kick back and enjoy some much needed rest and relaxation.

If you capture any remarkable pictures or videos feel free to upload them to our Facebook fan page where lots of people (myself included) would love to see and hear the stories of your Easter 2010.

Happy Easter everyone!

As the holidays rapidly approach we are excited to be soon sending out private beta invites to everyone who’s on our list. If you are a video creator, actor, director, writer, producer, story teller, animator, or have other talents for producing video content, then be sure to visit our site and submit your email address.

We intended to send out invites last week but the relaunch of UnleashVideo, the exclusive video sharing site for our private beta, has taken longer than anticipated to complete. The good news is that additional tweaks and features are being added to Spidvid in the meantime, so your initial experience with our platform will be better than even we thought it would be.

The plan now is to send out the invites on Christmas Eve (December 24th). Who said that gifts shouldn’t come before Christmas Day anyways?

If you get time over the Christmas break between some much needed R&R be sure to take the time to put together a solid Spidvid profile. We accept copying embed codes from YouTube and other sites where you may already have produced video content and information about yourself. Also don’t be shy to do some copying and pasting from your favorite social networks like Facebook or LinkedIn to save time creating your Spidvid profile.

There will be a blog post next week where we explain how to pimp your Spidvid profile because it’s so important as a video creator needs to show that he or she has leadership qualities to build and manage remarkable production teams which results in quality produced content, and it’s important for professionals so that creators can see what qualities and talent he or she can add to content. So if you’re not already subscribed to our new posts by email or RSS be sure that you are one way or another, or you may miss out on some really exciting stuff.

Do you want an early Christmas present this year? Quickly head over to our site, click the ‘join our video production community’ on the left hand side, provide your email address, and look for an email from us on Thursday.

One last thing… good luck with your last minute Christmas shopping, if you are already done then give yourself a big pat on the back you non-procrastinator you.
