My Top Video Hosting Sites
I’m constantly on the lookout for new ways to shoot and host internet videos. Video is such a fun hobby of mine and I’m still learning. Video on the internet is certainly a field of constant change.
I would imagine that if Walt Disney were still alive, even he would be amazed at how far technology has come. Could you imagine taking a video class and looking over and seeing Walt Disney sitting there? Well, neither can I, maybe that’s a stretch. Videographers are always willing to learn. What’s amazing to me also, is that these folks are also willing to share their knowledge. It’s sort of an online fraternity. I want to thank all of those out there that freely share their skills and knowledge on the web.
For those who are interested in the gear. I shoot with a Canon XH A1 High Definition Video Camera. I edit with Final Cut Express from Apple. I’m very new to Final Cut Express and I have a lot to learn. The problem is finding the time to sit down and learn the program. It will take time. I edit on a MacBookPro 17″.
I use internet video hosting sites that are “free” to host my videos. Me and Free get along very well. One of my favorite video hosting site is Vimeo.
The reason I like Vimeo is that this site will allow you to upload very large files of high-definition videos. Video files are very large and high definition files are even larger. It takes a lot of bandwidth to play these videos on the internet.
I have recently found a new video hosting site that I like very much. If you enjoy watching or shooting video, may want to check this site out. It’s call Exposure Room. Exposureroom.com. I’ve uploaded a few videos to this site and the quality is outstanding. Membership is free. Remember what I said about free? It only took about 1 minute to set up my account. I was uploading a video in just a couple of minutes. You can check out my page on Exposure Room here. I love the fact that you can also upload your photos. I take a lot of high-def photos with my Canon XH A1 and this site allows viewers to view the photos in high definition. If you are into photography, you should put your photos on display on Exposure Room. A very cool feature is that you can embed your photos from ER to your own web site. See my example below of one of my photos embedded here on the Brunswick Broker. Click the photo to go to my photo page and click the large version. The quality is stunning.
There is a lot of talent on Exposure Room. I have enjoyed the work of Steven Dempsey for many months now. Steven is a very talented videographer/cinematographer. He specializes in nature videos and is well respected in the industry. You owe it to yourself to check out his videos. You can view Steven’s video page here. Below is a video from Steven Dempsey that I especially like. It’s called Snoqualmie. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to check out his page for more of his work. Click the link below his video to view it in a much larger high-definition format.
If you attempt to watch a video and get a window asking you to update your Adobe Flash Player, it’s ok and it’s safe. You need the updated player to view the videos.

Video As A Business Tool And A Hobby
I certainly believe in the power of video as a business tool but for most people who shoot video, I think it all starts as a hobby.
I like to shoot fun stuff too.
Here is a video I shot one very cold day at the Holden Beach Fishing Pier.
How To View A Property When You Are Far, Far Away
Here is the scenario:
You are out of town and you are very interested in viewing a property.
You have 2 choices.
1. Pack up, travel and take a chance.
2. Enlist me as your buyers agent and sometimes I can save you a trip.
You decide.
Here is an example of a property video I shot for someone out of town but interested in a particular property.
