Greetings Ourmedia users
I am happy to announce that I've just added video chat to my personal blog and collaboration with 123 flash chat. It is a public channel but it is open to all our media users. What better way for video bloggers to collaborate projects than with video chat! Now you will be a community with each other in real time.

It is a flash chat client and requires no download you will be logged on automatically when you access my blog and select the experimental chat room post. The system will assign you a guest name which you may change as soon as you are logged on. It is my suggestion that you add OM to your nickname to identify yourself as a ourmedia user to other oumedia uses

Have you ever wondered how you can disintegrate your kitchen plate?

It's really not too hard, If you understand how your digital camera works.you'll need to learn how to use your camera in the manual mode.

You'll need two things to achieve this effect your plate, and the spotlight of some type. You might be able to use a small desk lamp as your spotlight.

In setting up this effect, you will need to override the automatic features of your camcorder. Dim your room lights to the point that you get a normal image with your irus or light setting wide open. Mark the position You have put the plate.set up your spotlight. So that it shines directly on the plate. A white plate on a dark background works much better.

Now, turn off the spotlight start the camera recording turn on the spotlight. Removed the plate. leave the camera running for a few moments then turn off the spotlight.

In a film clip, you made you should see the plate on the table. When you turned the spotlight on, the plate should flares out (basically glows so brightly that You can barely make out any detail), and the spotlight after you removed the plate. This happened, because you had manually overridden light settings in your camcorder, allowing the spotlighted area to overexpose.

Now take your film clip and open up your editing software and captured the clip. Here you will want to split the clip at the point just after you removed the plate while the spotlight is still on. Cutout the section were you were removing the plate fome the first clip. You'll now have two clips one with a plate begins to glow from the spotlight and one with the spotlight on and the plate is gone.but both these clips on your storyboard in order put a fade-in Fade-out transition in between the two clips.

In your completed project. The plate will appear to glow and disappear. You have just disintegrated Your first kitchen plate
