KennyFarino Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey there, OCR! I'm here to let you know that I have a podcast featuring OCRemixes from this site called GameJams, a bi-monthly show where people get to request the songs that they really want to hear! It's a bit of a fan project that I love doing, and I want to share the work of the talented people here with anybody who will listen! I'd also like to try and get remixers from this site for interviews to share how they birth their awesome creations, and remixer zircon was gracious enough to give me a shot for the first interview! Of course, full credit is provided to the remixers in both the audio segment, and the music videos that I make for these remixes! Listen and Archive: http://www.cheshirecatstudios.com/GameJams/ Website: http://www.cheshirecatstudios.com/ iTunes: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/gamejams/id387668412?ign-mpt=uo%3D4 However, I also posted this thread because I have a bit of a quandary: a gaming site called Blistered Thumbs (an affiliate of "ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com") contacted me because they are interested in featuring the podcast on their site, and naturally I'd like to try and expand the audience so the awesome tunes of OCR can reach more people. However, they have a policy about putting advertisements somewhere in the video, and I would personally not like to do that because it would feel wrong to profit off of the work that you guys worked so hard to make: See I worry that if I allow a No ad video on the site that people might want that to become the standard and everyone that puts hard work into their own shows will be seen negatively because they earn money for their content and display ads to keep theirshows running - its more about standardizing things. While I definitely understand that they need the ad revenue, since some contributors make this website their full-time job, this is a hobby for me, and I would not feel it moral or appropriate to get paid for something I did not directly make myself, you know what I mean? I want to keep it non-profit so that I can just help spread the word on great remixes by great remixers! With that said, may I also have input on this problem? Thanks for the time, guys, and have a great night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleJCrb Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey Kenny, always good to see another VGM podcast, and the concept of a music video podcast sounds interesting, so I'll be sure to check it out! As for BT: That's kind of an odd policy, unless they're taking a cut of what the ads make. I'd think that it would be okay, so long as you aren't actually selling the podcasts or the music for profit, and it remains free to watch (even with ads laid over it or whatever). I'd go for it, regardless. The BT crew are pretty great and more exposure to VGM is always a good thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFarino Posted December 21, 2010 Author Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hey, thanks dude! I'm glad you think the concept is interesting . I always try to please! Mercifully, the selling of the podcasts on CDs, etc, is not an option, and doing that would just be downright dickish - what they're asking for is ad overlays that go over the videos (blip.tv, etc) at most, so the podcasts would still be free to view aside from the ads!

KennyFarino Posted January 31, 2011 Author Share Posted January 31, 2011 Hey there, OCR! I'm here to let you know that I have a podcast featuring OCRemixes from this site called GameJams, a bi-monthly show where people get to request the songs that they really want to hear! It's a bit of a fan project that I love doing, and I want to share the work of the talented people here with anybody who will listen! The show is also now a feature on the websites BlisteredThumbs and ThatGuyWithTheGlasses, so hopefully I'll get to spread the word about your kickass work and great remixes!

Murmeli Walan Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 I watched the "Best of Season One" video on Blistered Thumbs yesterday, and I really enjoyed it. I for one am really glad that artists are getting proper credit on the show as opposed to "HERE IZ GRAET ZELDA REMIX ENJOY!!!" The show is smooth, it has a nice flow, there's a great balance between music from famous and obscure games. The game footage music videos are nice, and you should consider asking people from the community here to contribute some videos for the show, as well. Grats on getting picked up by TGWTG, you've got a new regular listener here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KennyFarino Posted February 4, 2011 Author Share Posted February 4, 2011 Hey, thanks very much dude! I think I might ask people if they have a music video they want to offer because it would be neat to see other people's efforts! Hell, the first music video in the Best Of episode was done by TheCyberCat on youtube, and they did a phenomenal job! Sorry for replying so late, I've been reallllly busy this week! I'm glad to know you like the show, dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFarino Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Tonight we're hitting the high seas with remixes from "The Secret of Monkey Island", "Uncharted Waters 2," and "Reset Generation!" Note: Until I edit this in the episode, please accept my apology - I accidentally credited the "TEEM.ROKIT" remix in the episode's audio to TJ Nekko when it should have been credited to tweek. Ah, the life of a tired student http://www.cheshirecatstudios.com/GameJams/gamejams-episode-12.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KennyFarino Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 New episode! It's Episode 19-Part 2 of June Is Boss Month!: http://www.cheshirecatstudios.com/GameJams/gamejams-episode-19-2.php I also took the liberty of using funds received by blip.tv from ads that were required by Blistered Thumbs, and sent them directly to OCR as a donation! I wanted to send the money to the people who truly deserve it! Ads aren't on anymore since I don't think BT really cares if they are on, but I just wanted to let you know! (proof so you know it's legit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
