The Hollywood Look at Home
On-Comp - November, 2006
If your home movies are getting bad reviews, you
might like this expert help: stashSpace.com has free
templates that let you load in your video, select some
scenes and give the result a snappy professional look.
You can upload video directly from a
camcorder or a
computer. Everything is free unless you want to store
video or buy a
finished DVD, which costs $15 to $19, depending on the
packaging.
Online Stashing, Sharing of Videos
Seattle Times - October 23, 2006
Online video sharing is one of the
hottest Web trends around these days. But Krumme said
that unlike YouTube, StashSpace works with long-form
video — those three hours of zoo-trip tape sitting in a
shoebox somewhere.

StashSpace to Take Full Length Online Video
Editing to the Masses
TechCrunch - October 2, 2006
Online video storage,
sharing, editing and
management service StashSpace will make a full public
launch and media press on Wednesday. Unlike the many
services we see focused on short form video, such as
Jumpcut (a Yahoo! acquisition) for editing and VideoEgg
for online video capture, StashSpace lets users work with
long
movies in the browser. It’s easy to use, has a good
pricing structure and targets a clear pain point in a
large market. Shutterfly’s $87 million IPO last week was
further evidence that easy online multimedia
storage for non technical users is a market
ready to take flight.

The Business of Memory: Companies take
different approaches when going digital with home movies
San Francisco Chronicle - August 20, 2006
Almost every household with children has one -- a
shelf filled with boxes of old home videos or even
more-ancient home movies. The movies gather dust because
no one has reel-to-reel projectors anymore. The videos
get played occasionally but gradually degrade with
time. The solution? Transfer those family memories to
digital format for better preservation and easier
viewing.

Pacific Northwest Magazine, August 13, 2006
AT NIGHT, Rachel Evans nestles under a canvas
teepee in the Methow Valley, a spot so pastoral she
can hear her Norwegian fjord horse gently breathing. By day, she directs research and development at a
thriving dot-com. What's
groundbreaking, literally, is the location of her
employer,

Automatic Editing for the People
HUB Canada - August 12, 2005
Video is almost always edited before it is
shared
with anyone. That's according to our very informal
survey, in which readers were asked if they like to go
"raw" by sharing, screening or selling unedited video
(raw footage on a camera tape. Many of you said there was a ton of video footage in
the closet, perhaps never to see the light of day,
because it needs video editing. But we all know that
sorting through hours of videotape can be a tedious and
time-consuming process.

High Tech Home Movies can Link Families, Military
Santa Barbara News Press - May 2, 2005
Being deployed to war zones in Iraq and Afghanistan is
difficult -- yet largely unavoidable -- for many
soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines. Not being able to
see friends and family for up to a year adds to their
stress, including the dozens from the Central Coast now
serving in battle areas overseas.
With that in mind, a Washington
state company called HomeMovie.Com has created
"Operation Enduring Love," which allows people to create
a 30-minute video that will be converted into a format
that military members can watch over the Internet. The
streaming video can be viewed for up to a year, as many
times as they'd like.

Families can Share Home Videos over Web to Soldiers
St. Petersburg Times - March 14, 2005
A little time with family and
friends can mean a lot for military personnel,
especially if they're stationed in Afghanistan or Iraq.
To help bring a taste of home to military personnel
overseas, HomeMovie.com of Winthrop, Wash., is offering
a free service dubbed Operation Enduring Love to convert
up to 30 minutes of home video into a streaming
presentation that can be viewed online. The service
personnel and the senders will get e-mail with a
password to view the video, which will be available for
a year.
Video Offers Soldiers Glimpses from Home
The Bayonet - March 11, 2005
"I'm going to talk to daddy," said Avery Pierce, 2, as
her mother, Courtney, pulled out a video camera. "She
misses him," Courtney said. "She cries for him a lot
now, especially at night when she's really tired."
Courtney, Avery and baby sister
Abby are about to make a video for 2nd Lt. Chris Pierce,
Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 36th Engineer
Group. He deployed Jan. 7 from Doughboy Stadium for a
yearlong deployment to Iraq. "He'll be really excited to
get this, because he keeps bugging me to send him short
videos over the Web cam, but I can't get it to work,"
Courtney said. "Since my kids can't write, they can show
off for their dad on the video."

Event DV Magazine - March 7, 2005
HomeMovie.com is an online service
that provides a way for consumers to preserve, manage,
and distribute their old home movies before they fade
away to static on antiquated tapes. "We initially
started our business to bring the benefits of our
services to people for their home movies," says John
Larsen, HomeMovie.com's CEO. But they discovered quickly
that the consumer market wasn't a particularly good fit
for their services. "They weren't really ready for
streaming or DVD."

Families: Keeping Close Across the
Miles
Air Force Times - March 7, 2005
Pictures are worth even more than
a thousand words when you're deployed away from your
family for months at a time. Two new volunteer efforts
are underway to help improve morale and keep military
families in touch across the miles - one involves
donations of free new and used digital cameras, the
other offers free 30-minute streaming video productions.

30-minute StreamingDVD for military families of troops
deployed to Central or Southwest Asia. The
video is shared online and password-protected so families can

Movies for Families of Troops Overseas
Streaming Media Magazine - February 23, 2005
Staying in touch with friends and
family is a constant struggle for soldiers, especially
those stationed on the battlefield in hotspots like Iraq
and Afghanistan. While long-distance phone cards are
standard issue, local long-distance providers often
charge exorbitant connection fees, making phone calls to
the U.S. prohibitively expensive. But even when phone
calls are priced more reasonable, audio-only
communication only goes so far in keeping families in
touch, especially when there are children involved.

For Neglected Video, A Hollywood Touch
New York Times - September 30, 2004
As home video accumulates, many prolific tapers are
pondering a close-to-home variation of the old Zen
brainteaser. They have acquired a trove of family
scenes, but are daunted by the tedium and time involved
in playing it all back. After all, searching for the
good parts means sitting through the boring ones, too.
Other sections may be marred by camera shake, exposure
problems or wind gusts thundering into the microphone.
But just letting the tapes pile up won't do either; home
movies that are neither viewed nor inventoried can be
said not to exist at all.

Preserving Your Tapes on DVD
Camcorder and Computer Video - February 12, 2003
Video is great! -- Especially for capturing and sharing video
of important events. In our
personal lives, we preserve precious moments with families and friends. And for
business, we record and distribute important presentations. But all those great
moments are wound up on reels of tape: you need to load them into a player even
to see what's on them, and all that shuttling through the tape makes finding the
good stuff slow and irritating. Even worse, tapes are relative fragile, as they
wear out and degrade over time, and they lose quality if you make copies to try
to preserve or share them.

Digitize Your Family's Memories
Parade Magazine - November 24, 2002
Don't let time destroy your old VHS or Super-8 home movies. Here are ways to
digitize your family's memories.
With the Rise of DVDs, It's Transfer Time Again
The Washington Post - June 30, 2003
Phillip Grace's childhood was chronicled in three-minute snippets on itty-bitty
rolls of film, kept in dozens of metal film cans, then crammed into his closets
to collect dust -- until the summer he broke his ankle. That's when boredom
drove him to unearth the films his parents had lovingly created with their 16mm
movie camera, starting with his sixth-birthday party.
VHS to DVD: Convert Now
Newsweek - May 20, 2003
What’s to love about videotapes? They take up shelf space, the picture gets
grainy after multiple playbacks and they can fade to black after a decade or
two. For keepsake videos like a school play or family trip, you might want a
better archive—like DVDs. Converting analog video into digital data used to be
for pros only, but new services and better technology make it easy..
Saved Again: Those Memories Caught on VHS Tape Will Last Longer if Transferred
to DVDs
Dallas Morning News - February 7, 2002
You have two choices for that wedding video sitting in the bookcase: Convert it
to DVD or kiss it goodbye. VHS tapes can begin fading to black in less than 15
years, depending on how they are stored. Simply running the same tape 50 times
through a videocassette recorder can irrevocably harm a home movie's quality.
And if the picture doesn't fade, chances are the tape itself will gradually turn
brittle and break.
