I think that Loic picked the right guy because the humor, spontaneity and immediacy of all that's happening are enhanced by your professional touches. I think it probably helps to have a short time frame for production. Production can go on forever if you let it! - The spontaneity is important! you'll make the right decision though cause you're in it, you know what you want to accomplish, you're dedicated and you have to do what works!

Drew, i'll be working on this for a while longer, i'd give the studio another month, but we should see it developing pretty quick here. Cheryl, I agree with you, we're getting better with some of the Keying, and once we actually own lights it should be a lot easier. Darius we miss your posts on Seesmic.

I think you could relax your production values a bit. I would be interested even if the end product is more raw. I don't care about the chroma keying at all, or any effects. But I love the transparency - feeling like I get to see what is happening at seesmic every day. That's the best part for me. Having the perfect edit with photo cutaways and text overlays isn't so important. I'd rather see the personalities of the people and just know what they're up to, what good things are coming. That's the best. Congratulations on what you've accomplished so far. I know it’s a tough pace, but I really love seeing a new video every day. I think you could relax your production values a bit.

Do you know for what length of time you are planning to maintain this pace of videos? Will it change when you start producing shows in the Seesmic studios?

And indeed, you can be proud of you. The last editing for the Twitter day was just awesome. You catch completely the idea, very funny joke and nice editing which catch you until the end of the video... Great job, again! The question of the format now? Hmm, I think it doesn't hurt if the publishing is the next day. Let's say, you shoot the day, and you can edit the next morning (when you arrived to the office) to be able to put on line for noon. In all case, it will never be the daily video with the different timezone... So, if with another way to shoot/edit you can catch some great stuff to reflect what happened a day, I personally think you should do it... Long story short: - Always keep the idea to show what's going on each day - Publish it when it's ready, not when it's time (but never exceed an half day because you could lost the spontaneity) Good work in all case... Bye, Phil Hmm… very interesting Whit!

I mean this is a hell of a job to produce daily those 3 to 10 minutes edited and everything... Never knew the due time each day was 7pm... but i'm on the other side of the ocean, so for me it's really no big deal u know... Change format? everything is possible of course.. but with the daily basis, it allows "special" episodes like the "twitter" or "the office" one... whereas with something more like "weekly" it would have been hard in practice... But once again congrats on all the work ur doing to show us, seesmicers, non seesmicers, blogers or not what's happening for the last week and dat's we're enjoying seeing being build everyday :) I agree with ledretch..

You all are doing a great work, I just turn off TV to watch seesmic daily now ;) Thank you for that One video per day is a hell of a rythm, and you’re doing it since the beginning…
