Today’s show is the last broadcast for 2008. Alot has happened since our first broadcast in April this year. Ustream.tv, with the help of our show supporters (thanks peeps!), has listed the “Half Hour Huddle” amongst the “Highest Rated” shows on Ustream, along with presenting our Huddle as the “Featured” show on their home page 3 weeks in a row on Mondays. Thanks Ustream.tv!!
This broadcast extended past our usual half hour time segment, but oh so fun and worthwhile! We bridged topics that ranged from tech to relational health! You’ll have to catch up on this episode to see what I mean, it may make a true difference in your life and relational health 
I look forward to hosting more LIVE broadcast shows that deliver value to you, and to continue to earn your support as a trusted resource and advisor. Here’s to you and yours for 2009, wishing you a blessed, healthy, wealthy and prosperous New Year!!

11:25 JoselinMane : Sherm u like http://ithemes.com/ ?
11:25 ustreamer-22475 : nice new blog – i just made one with another one of the revolution themes. Am not having much luckj with adding different thumbnails for the home page. any ideas on how to do this? also want to add more blocks below the recent posts part. am stuck
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : how r u
11:26 cknicker : My green screen comment was for grins but now I’m intrigued, what stuff do you have to be able to do green screen? I thought it was a big production cost.
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : yes i think too
11:26 ustreamer-46942 : i like green color
11:26 mike1mb : Hi to Michelle Joselin Dulcita and any othre Tweetrs I might have missed, follow me and I follow back http://twitter.com/mike1mb
11:27 WildAngel : takes a bow…
11:27 ustreamer-46942 : dont worry go ahead
11:27 mike1mb : no its a real Cable channel
11:27 MyklK : cknicker – bought green sheet for $20, then you need software to do the “Chroma” effect. done.
11:27 Toranika : I thought G4 was a classical music boy band :-p
11:29 eldonletkeman-1 : cknicker: You need the proper software that will allow you to use green screen or Chroma Key. I use Adobe Premeire Pro and after effects. Sony Vegas can do it as well. Adobe also has an easier program called Ultra that allows you to put in pre-designed backgrounds. It’s a finicky process.
11:29 mike1mb : Viddler’s comment feature is nice too adds them right to video in time with action
11:30 MyklK : I use Pinnacle Studio (bought my green sheet there as a package)
11:30 eldonletkeman-1 : Pinnacle is a great entry level program
11:30 MyklK : Great! That’s where I am!
11:30 eldonletkeman-1 : good choice
11:31 eldonletkeman-1 : sounds like Yoda doing an impression of Darth Vader
11:31 eldonletkeman-1 :
11:31 MyklK : heh.
11:31 colmcgunnigle : Yoda
11:31 BiggiFraley : Sherman, some of TweetDeck’s new features – spellcheck, when accidentally closing a group, it warns you it’ll be deleted and let’s you cancel action. I was sooo waiting for that one! 
11:31 MyklK : “Help you, he will.”
11:31 colmcgunnigle : “there is no try”
11:32 colmcgunnigle : yes myk
11:32 colmcgunnigle : Yoda is cool
11:32 Chrissyna : I think he means if it is MAC friendly (Ashampoo) LOL
11:32 eldonletkeman-1 : Boba Fett rocks
11:32 SelfMadeCelo : No problem =)
11:33 MyklK : My computer FREEZES trying to record a UStream broadcast – is that normal? What are the “PC” requirements? Maybe I’m trying to be too High Definition??
11:34 WildAngel : Thanks for all the help-
11:34 WildAngel : I will have to go back and dedicate to shermanlive.
11:35 AlexKaris : Happy Holiday all you awesome PEEPS!!
11:36 brandrider : Hi Sherman. Do you get into social marketing in your blog creation program at tutorialU?
11:37 shermanlive-1 : eefx
11:37 cknicker : Good grief! U all giving me so many good links I’ve had to filp to a second page in my notebook.
11:37 colmcgunnigle : ashampoo … for windows … sorry Sherman!
11:38 colmcgunnigle : flipping is good!
11:38 MyklK : Hmmm, I just thumbtacked my greenscreen to the wall! 
11:38 mike1mb : cnicker – aren’t live shows the best ever resource
11:38 MyklK : Don’t stand close to the wall (3-5 feet) to avoid shadows.
11:38 colmcgunnigle : especially live shows with Sherman talking
11:39 BiggiFraley : so what’s the difference between a green screen and a blue screen?
11:39 WildAngel : I think Sheram will have to go to an hour- this is getting to be really popular
11:39 colmcgunnigle : Do you use a softbox for lights?
11:39 mike1mb : I’m kinda fond of his brother from another mother, but I won’t mention his name unless Sherman will
11:39 eldonletkeman-1 : Done some green screen work. Lighting is key. The compact flourescents are nice. Cool temperature as well. won’t burn your precious fingers
11:39 SelfMadeCelo : Eldon do you prefer Final Cut over Premiere?
11:40 TCTC : I use Adobe Ultra. . . but very touchy. Best Advice I can give is use as little as possible. Live sets are much better looking.
11:40 JoselinMane : AlexKaris!! Que Pasa Bro!
11:40 TCTC : Live sets as in real sets.
11:40 eldonletkeman-1 : Final Cut uses much more drive space. Like 30 gigs or something. it’s apples and oranges. i prefer Premiere because I know the software.
11:41 eldonletkeman-1 : But Final Cut is really snazzy software
11:41 AlexKaris : Hola Joseline…Hope your awesome!!
11:41 colmcgunnigle : Supporting you in decluttering your plate … so easy to get our plates cluttered, things just plop on there!
11:42 WildAngel : If you declutter your plate you will lose weight too
11:42 eldonletkeman-1 : Premiere does not support Power Mac G5 systems, only intel based Mac
11:42 colmcgunnigle : lol
11:46 mike1mb : eefx
11:46 cknicker : Laundry hamper for IKEA
11:46 eldonletkeman-1 : Green screen is excellent for Digital Video and Blue Screen is optimized for film. They use separate colour profiles. DV uses RGB and Film use CMYK. It’s all really technical but you can use for either. You just need to use a coulour that won’t be used in your footage
11:47 mike1mb : Thanks Sherman, He’ll appreciate the mention
11:47 BiggiFraley : Great answer. Thanks, Eldon!
11:47 JoselinMane : thanks eldon, get info!
11:48 BiggiFraley : Thanks also for answers from MyklK!
11:48 colmcgunnigle : How cool, go away for your planning process, I love it. So great to do that together. You guys … giving me great hope for couples!
11:49 colmcgunnigle : Planning and writing down, yes, like a magnet
11:49 eldonletkeman-1 : but colours can bleed, so standing in front of your screen lights is key, then use separate lighting on the subject
11:49 MyklK : (no prob @BiggiFraley – Eldon’s got the know how – I just goof around with it)
11:49 WildAngel : That is a great 2009 planning process
11:50 MyklK : Yeah, adding the frustrations was a take away for me.
11:50 colmcgunnigle : I had macs for FIFTEEN YEARS before becoming a traitor um convert
11:51 BiggiFraley : You all have suggested several, but if I could absolutely have my pick at any video editing software FOR PC, which one would I choose?
11:51 Chrissyna : OMGosh another plate – lookout team!!!!
11:51 SelfMadeCelo : Just Clear, not too fancy lol
11:51 colmcgunnigle : Sherman, PUT the PLATE DOWN
11:51 colmcgunnigle :
11:52 AlexKaris : Dome is another word for your head…cmon brother….ol
11:52 colmcgunnigle : LOL
11:52 colmcgunnigle : Laundry Hamper from Ikea GREAT
11:52 eldonletkeman-1 : BiggiFraley: I would suggest Pinnacle for the entry level, but if you’re interested in the more powerful software go with Adobe, Pricey though
11:53 MyklK : Yeah, Pinnacle is like $120.
11:53 MyklK : (green screen included in the package I got)
11:53 mike1mb : IKEA has some great lamps that probably provide similar lighting and some for about $10 ea
11:54 BiggiFraley : Would Adobe be easy enough to learn, though, or should I choose Pinnacle even if I could effort Adobe because it is better fot the beginner, Eldon?
11:54 SelfMadeCelo : Adobe is pretty easy to learn, just takes some getting use to.
11:54 cknicker : S, I’ve moved from the Dark Side, got a MBPro 2.4, 4GB, 512 VidRAM. To justify spending the $$ I showed my girlfriend the recorded session when you told me to go ahead and make the plunge.
11:54 SelfMadeCelo : I’m sure if you spent the time you can get down the basics to make a simple video
11:54 eldonletkeman-1 : Yeah, I’m toally self taught, try and surround yourself with peopl ewho know how as well. Networking is key
11:54 bkajino : Ditto on the planning… dreams are only wishes if you don’t have an action plan
11:55 colmcgunnigle : Thanks so much Eldon
11:55 eldonletkeman-1 : No prob
11:55 MyklK : Wow – didn’t know about separate lights for subject and background! I have a TON of lights already! Still learning.
11:56 cknicker : Harvard Business School has tracked their graduates for 40+ years. They have found tha clearly written goals are the second most important for success in business and in life.
11:56 MyklK : (I’ll have to do video with my sunglasses on!)
11:56 TCTC : Well gotta jam. . .Thanks for the great tips as always!
11:56 WildAngel : ballroom dancing is fun
11:56 colmcgunnigle : tennis AND ballroom dancing!

11:59 colmcgunnigle : first I need a husband LOL !

11:59 MyklK : Tell me about it. It must start falling apart with the 4th kid (I have 4 too)
11:59 WildAngel : So do I.
11:59 Chrissyna : You can them For Men Only and For Women Only in audio too
12:00 eldonletkeman-1 : yeah, it does, 3 boys and 1 girl and I think my girl is the most dependant
12:00 JoselinMane : http://www.fivelovelanguages.com/
12:00 DulcitaLove : http://twitter.com/dulcitalove
12:00 MyklK : 1 girl and 3 boys for me (same, just the other way around )
12:00 WildAngel : Well let’s not discuss the sucky areas of my life
12:01 MyklK : @WildAngel HA!
