The best part is that anyone with a PC (or even a Mac Power PC) and an e-mail address can receive your full-motion
holiday greeting and play it over and over again, or forward to even more friends and family. To send a video e-mail, all
you have to do is set up a camcorder or desktop camera and capture your greeting using Python - you can even send it
"live" through the internet.
"We're thrilled that so many people have written to tell us they're using Python to send Christmas messages," says
Videonics Vice President of Marketing, Kelly Thurber, who offers these helpful tips for creating a fun Holiday greeting: --
Keep It Short: Even though Python compresses full-motion video into the standard MPEG format small size for the
Internet, the bottom line is that the longer your video, the more time it will take to transmit. A 15-30 second message is
ideal. -- Don't Forget the Cameraman: Use a tripod to make sure the whole family, including Dad or Mom, gets in the
picture. -- Don't Forget Sound: Remember that video is a sight and sound medium, so make sure your video includes an
audio greeting. Kids might give their names and ages this year, and everyone could end with a big Merry Christmas or
just a bit of a favorite carol. -- One Greeting Fits All: Keep your video e-mail greeting generic enough so it will be
suitable for everyone on your list. That way you can easily upload the video and transmit it to all your friends and family at
the same time. No stamps required!
