Thing 10 - Embed and download video



This video is called Self Portraits by Philip Scott Johnson [500 Years of Male Self Portraits in Western Art]
It's a wonderful piece of art history and a very good example of a well done morph. It was super easy to embed this video on my blog. Too bad I still won't be able to access it on the district network.



This video shows balloon sculptures done by Jason Hackenwerth. I met him up in Traverse City last week at the Traverse City Film Festival. His pieces were truly amazing!

I was able to download videos using Keepvid with no problem. I'm still a bit unclear about the difference between embedding a video and uploading one onto my blog in terms of fair use practices.

    Embedding just makes a link to the YouTube video. So, for example, if someone is in a place where YouTube is blocked, they would not be able to watch the embedded video on your blog.

    If you download the video, you actually take it off of YouTube. Then, uploading it another site is a violation of copyright because you are now redistributing the video off a YouTube at another place, and the video isn't yours to distribute.

    For the classroom, it's easier to download the video to play in class since you are likely to have YouTube blocked in your building.
