I'm looking for (at least) 100 motivational, inspirational and
empowering video clips. The clips should be from 30 seconds to 4-5
minutes.
Preferably in wmv, mpeg or quicktime format.
As examples see the video clips at:
http://www.opencircles.nl/trailers/amazing.wmv
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-807630768371916703&q=amazing
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2576936076554370161&q=inspiration
However, please notice that the 3rd video clip doesn't have an
acceptable video quality. I'd like to have better quality clips.
The clips should inspire, motivate and celebrate the human spirit. |

Hello inspire2go-ga,
Must the clips be downloadable or can they be from sites like
youtube.com and google video?

Hello tisme-ga,
I'm looking for downloadable files.
But if you'll find some great ones that are from youtube.com and
google video - I'll accept them too.

Hello inspire2go-ga,
I am starting to run into difficulty finding new clips. I was
wondering if you would consider reducing the value of the question to
approx 50 clips? You could later repost a new question and another
researcher might take a shot at it. In the meantime, I will keep
trying!

Hello inspire2go-ga,
I have 52 downloadable clips for you and would be happy to submit
those as an answer to a reduced value question. You could even reduce
it to $75 and make the new question $125 if you want because I think a
new researcher with fresh eyes/ideas might be a good idea at this
point. (Because they might run into duplicates).
The hard part is finding clips that are downloadable. There were
dozens that I had to bypass because they were not downloadable.
I look forward to hearing back from you! I am hoping that the clips I
found meet your needs.

Hi!
I will try to find the 100 videos you're looking. Since my colleague
tisme-ga has mentioned to you the difficulty of the task at hand
would it be ok if the bulk of the video would come from Youtube and
Google Video. Google Video is downloadable as long as you have the
Google Video player to play the videos offline. Youtube isn't meant to
be downloaded and should be streamed. Plus some will really not be
that great in visual quality. Will this be ok with you?
I hope to find some of the videos in a few days since this project
might really take time to finish. Is it ok for you to wait? I will
also post any notice of my progress and notify you if I can really
find such large amouts of video.
Thanks.

Hi tisme-ga,
I'd be willing to reduce the question price to $75 for 52 good clips.
However, I'm not sure how to do that, as this is my first question here...
Let me know how can we do it. Thanks, Inspire2go-ga

Hi easterangel-ga,
The clip you sent is perfect.
Anything that inspires, motivate, empower and bring hope and celebrate
the human spirit overcoming obstacles would be great.
I'll wait until I get from tisme-ga his files, so I can make sure we
don't have duplicates. Then I'd love to have your additions.
Thanks inspire2go-ga

Ok.
Since you indicated you want to see tisme-ga's clips first then that's
ok as well. Once I release this question, I think you can adjust the
price on your end.
If you still want me to work on the additionals, just post a new question.
Thanks.

Hello inspire2go-ga,
You should be able to change the question value at your end as long as
it is not locked. I unlocked it earlier so that you could do this when
you read my message.
I assumed only downloadable videos were what you wanted. Are you using
these for video editing purposes? There are dozens of videos on Google
Videos and YouTube that I think you would like, but I avoided these
because of the download requirement.
I am going to be here for about 30 more minutes and then I need to
leave for a few hours. Hopefully I can get these to you soon!
All the best,

Hi tisme-ga,

I'd like to focus on the downloads.
Looking forward to see what you came up with.
Thanks, inpire2go-ga

Hello inspire2go-ga,
Here is what I came up with, all of them downloadable.
I could easily find you many more that are not downloadable on various
sites. There are many available on Google Video, Yahoo Video, AOL
Video, YouTube etc. that are not easily downloadable (there are
technically ways to capture video using third party programs, but
these do not always work, and it could be against the terms of use of
the various sites.)
I also kept running into great clips on TV network affiliate websites
that were not downloadable.
You can post a new question with a different value on it. You should
refer to this answer in that new question also. You can also request a
specific researcher by name, or leave it open to all researchers.

Hello inspire2go-ga,
I guess we are 18% there. I don't think I can find 41 other clips on
the web. I am thinking that I could try using limewire/other
downloading software. Was there anything under "Additional" that
worked, specifically from openingmoments.com? It is a great service,
even though it costs money for the clips.
I will be away for most of today but can look at this again tonight...
I have already invested a lot of time in answering this, but
understand that you have a specific purpose in mind. I am a bit
worried that I won't ever be able to get even close to the 50, so
investing further time is a bit problematic for me in that regard. I
would maybe recommend that you post a new question in the meantime
(referring to this one) to start getting the other 50 links that you
need. I will get back to you tonight as to how I will proceed.
All the best,
tisme-ga

I noticed you were interested in embedding clips on your website. It
is quite easy and legal to do so. Check here for YouTube instructions:

Hello,
The YouTube sounds very interesting.
I'd like to see the quality of clips from YouTube and if they're good
- I'll take them.
As much as I looked - I couldn't find how to simply embed Google videos.
If you find a simple script - please let me know.
Looking forward to see more clips, inspire2go-ga

Hello inspire2go-ga,
Embedding a Google video is very easy. All you need to do is click on
the blue button "Email - Blog - Post to MySpace" on a specific video
page. Then you click on "Embed HTML" and it gives you the code to use.
Hope this helps,

Hello inspire2go-ga,
I need as much time as you can give me! Do you have a deadline for this?

Hello tisme-ga,
Actually I was expecting this project completed last week.
I'd like to make Wednesday our deadline.
I hope you can make it by then.
Thanks.

Hello inspire2go-ga,
Unfortunately I don't think I can make the deadline by today. I have
emailed my editors and you may email them as well at
mailto:answers-editors@google.com (email address
answers-editors@google.com )
Sorry that I could not get you the perfect answer on this one.
All the best,
tisme-ga
