Welcome, YouTube Korea! January 24, 2008
Posted by Michael Hurt in : SeoulGlow (Video) , add a commentWell, I just attended and participated in the YouTube Korea press conference – so you’ve probably read in the news that YouTube Korea has officially opened its doors in Korea and the site gone live.

I had little time to do it, but went with something that felt right, like a real greeting. Perhaps not too creative, but given my time schedule, surprising that I even pulled this much off.
With the attention that getting featured on YT Korea’s front page will bring, it’s time to get back to getting SeoulGlow back online. Next up is the final part of the Korean astronaut series, as well as new episodes. I’ve already gotten as many views on the Superkids episode TODAY as watched it since months ago. So we’re going to have more viewers.
Anyone out there who’d like to help with subtitling, editing, or producing episodes, please get in touch at my email address at the top right of the page.
Let’s get SeoulGlow going again! To do that, I need help. Care to join the team? Contact me!
Multimedia 인턴/알바생 구함 - 미국인이랑 직접 작업 March 29, 2007
Posted by Michael Hurt in : SeoulGlow (Video) , 2comments미국인 사진작가/미디어아티스티인데 서울에서 살고 있고 여러가지 미디어 프로젝트를 하고 있습니다.한국의 최초의 “podcast”를 만들었고 그리고 한국의 최초의 “video podcast”도 만들고 있습니다.지금 도움이 많이 필요합니다. 맨날 비디오 제작과 편집도 하고 있고 그리고 상업 블로그도 당담하고 있는데 여러가지 작은 기술적인 것들을 못 하게 되는 겁니다. 특히 비디오에서 자막 놓는 것, 촬영할 때는 도움도 필요합니다. 그리고 블로그에서도 도움이 받았으면 좋겠습니다.저한테 도움을 줄 인턴/알바생은 기술적이나 전문적으로 알 필요없고 그냥 똑똑하고 빠리 배우는 스타일이면 좋습니다. 그리고 이거처것 자기 개인 심부룸을 시킬테니까 개인 조수의 일까지 가끔 할 겁니다. 제생각에:제 인턴/알바생의 받을 수 있는 이익: - 미국인이니까 영어로 일 진행하는 것
- 모든 일들이 다 매킨토시로 작업
- 배우기 힘든 skill (특히 매킨토시로 동영사편집, 사진, 오디오 편집, pro blogging, 다른 multimedia skills)
- 시간당 3,000 (”paid intern”으로 생각하면 돼요)
마포공덕동 근처이니까 아마 서강/이화/연세/홍대학생들한테 제일 편할 겁니다. 그리고 영어를 기본으로 했으면 좋겠습니다. 자막 놓을 때는 번역할 필요 없는데 (벌써 번역을 받았을 건데) 그래도 대충 어디어디 넣야 되는지 아셔야 됩니다.
이력서와 자기 소개는 kuraeji@gmail.com으로 보내셔도 됩니다.
우리 대표적인 비디오:
미국의 Saturday Night Live이란 쇼에서 누무 웃기는 풍자 비디오에서 나왔을 때 금방 classic이 된 거에요. 하도 너무 많이 웃겨서 토할 뻔했어요. 이 비디오 12월 중순에 나왔을 때 날리났어요, 미국에! 우리 SeoulGlow이 했던 건 자막만 넣었어요. 여어공부를 하시면서 도움이 될지도 모르겠어요. Enjoy!
SeoulGlow is looking for interns to assist with video production, editing, transcription, translation, and subtitling for the video podcast. Ideal candidates would be able to work for up to 10 hours a week or so, and be students in the Seogang, Ewha, Yonsei, or Hongdae areas, since my home studio is quite close by.
You would be able to learn the basics of video production and post-production, as well as working with Macintosh computers, iMovie, and Final Cut Pro. Also, for sound production, GarageBand, Audacity, and SoundTrack are the programs that we would be using, in addition to all kinds of other multimedia production.
Also, you would be somewhat bilingual, and potential Korean applicants should note that since I and many of the people I work with are American, English skills will be important. I do speak Korean, but many of the people and talent we will be working with won’t. So the chance to get to free talk in English should be an added draw here.
Finally, the intern will be paid a stipend of 3,500 won an hour – not much, but then again, this is one of those internships that could be actually worth doing for free, considering the concrete production, video editing, and other skills being taught in an English environment. So the small stipend should be considered a gesture of appreciation for your time, rather than a wage.
If you know anyone interested, please tell them to come to this blog, click my contact link in the top right-hand corner, and get in touch with me right away, with a resume in MS Word format.
– One position will be a combined intern/assistant, and should be reliable, smart, and somewhat bilingual. This person will learn and also help train a second intern.
– The other position will be primarily an intern only.
Dear readers, if you are connected to some smart, savvy students, tell them not to dawdle. I need two interns fast!
Hyperlinked Bio for Michael Hurt March 6, 2007
Posted by Michael Hurt in : Metropoliticking , 1 comment so farOriginally hailing from Ohio, Michael attended high school at Phillips Andover Academy and went on to major in American History/American Civilization at Brown University, where he graduated in 1994, and spent two years in Korea on a Fulbright English Teaching Assistantship, where he taught as a middle school teacher for two years, learned Korean, and developed a research interest in this country. He has received two separate Fulbright grants – one as an ETA and one as a full grantee – and has been active in the academic community, having presented papers on Korean national identity at several academic conferences, including conferences at Yonsei and Harvard Universities, as well as given a presentation on his photo work as a Fulbright.
Michael has also taught photography and video in Seoul alternative schools (대안학교) and is working on a photo book. He presently works as an editor for an academic journal at UNESCO, has taught several non-English (i.e. history or other humanities courses) university classes in Korea, and also speaks Korean at a high level of proficiency.
Michael is working on his Ph.D. at UC Berkeley in the Department of Comparative Ethnic Studies and at present, his research centers around Korean ethnic nationalism. A self-taught webmaster, Michael started constructing sites in 1997, did some commercial web design on the side, and had his first “blog” up in 1998, when he also had an idea for an MP3-based “radio show” of a female comedian friend that one might now call a “podcast.”
Presently, Michael is actively trying to ride the wave of Web 2.0 sensibilities and technologies into the Korean market before podcasting, pro blogging, and true “user created content” will really hit late in 2007, when Korean portal sites and media companies finally realize that their top-down “UCC” model isn’t the path to follow, which he thinks will happen sometime in the middle of next year. Towards that end, he is actively developing and maintaining:

Posted by Michael Hurt in : Uncategorized , add a commentThis is actually an experiment with embedding Metacafe content. We’ll see how it goes – and if you’re reading this and seeing a player, it probably went well.
As a person who did TKD, liked the sparring, but also got knocked in the head a couple times in matches, I feel for this guy. But that’s a sweet-ass kick, and right to the head. As my master always told me, “Keep your hands up!”

That guy won’t forget that lesson.
Man, why won’t the video stay centered? Grr.

You can here to be subscribed directly through iTunes. Bloggers and other webmasters can also take the URL and use it to link directly to stuff in other posts. I’ve listed it here for your convenience:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=210821680
Our first episode is being edited right now, so look forward to a real show within the next week. It will consist of an introduction to our video magazine from a trip to Chongno and Cheonggyecheon on New Year’s Eve, with greetings from many of the people we met there in the street, as well as an explanation for what our podcast is about and why we were motivated to create it.
What a great way to start out a new year. Thanks, Apple, for the swift registration.
Happy New Year, everyone!
VIDEO SHOOT: New Year’s Eve at Chongno December 30, 2006
Posted by Michael Hurt in : SeoulGlow (Video) , add a commentWe’ll be shooting in the Chongno area, recording video greetings for the New Year, as well as hopes and resolutions. This will be for the introductory SeoulGlow video podcast, so we’ll be getting some establishing shots and cover shots to go under a voiceover.
You can track us down by calling me directly. We’ll be wandering around the area from around 9PM–1AM.
SeoulGlow Video Podcast Submitted! December 29, 2006
Posted by Michael Hurt in : SeoulGlow (Video) , add a commentHistory has been made.
The XML link for our podcast has been submitted, and we are in the midst of the Long Wait to Be Approved by Apple. Our podcast was submitted to Apple’s iTunes server in the wee hours of the morning, after some kicks and sputters from Apple’s server, shortly after the time indicated in the picture here:
The podcast’s XML feed is actually sitting on our servers and awaiting validation by Apple, but we’ll be submitting them around the smaller networks on the web as well. For the sake of you who want to copy and paste it directly, here it is:
http://www.seoulglow.com/podcast/episodes/podcast.xml
And for those of you who don’t want to wait around for iTunes, you can watch “SeoulGlow #0 - Testing” directly.
The idea behind this one was urban, messy, and real – in the city, where you can see, hear, and veritably smell Seoul. The homemade look and the imperfect feel is just what we were looking for. And although we once swore an oath on the bones of the mighty Tangun to never use food or puns on the word “Seoul/soul” in the title of anything artistic we’d do, we just couldn’t resist the easy, greasy, retro funk that emanated from that sax, male falsetto, and the Jheri Curl of the the guy in the red camaro in the movie Coming to America.
Ah – truly funky. Let your Seooooooooul glow, baby!
VIDEO SHOOT: College Entrance Exam November 16, 2006
Posted by Michael Hurt in : SeoulGlow (Video) , add a commentSorry for the short notice, but just for your information – shot a bit of the college entrance exam this morning, will try to go shoot more after work of kids relaxing in family restaurants/movie theaters/bars in Shinchon tonight.
Anyone care to join, please give a call to Mike.
VIDEO SHOOT: “Hip Hop in Seoul” October 16, 2006
Posted by Michael Hurt in : SeoulGlow (Video) , 1 comment so farAlbert, Sora, and Inkyung –
Our first big chance to film something for the show is here. We want to interview people about hip-hop in Seoul the night of the Jay-Z concert, first going to the concert (but not inside, we’re not interested in that, can’t afford it, probably couldn’t get permission to film) but interview Korean fans waiting outside, then head to Itaewon/Hongdae to catch some of the afterparties we assume will be happening that night.
We will probably start at the Walker Hill (where the dance club will be), then go to Itaewon/Hongdae and probably go back and forth between both, as well as any other “targets of opportunity” we might discover (wouldn’t it be great to get invited to one of the exclusive parties?). That’s what we’re hoping for.
Sora and Inkyung – I hope you might be able to make time for that night (I know it’s short notice), but we’d like to also use this chance to start getting experience in front of the camera. 일석이조.
Here’s just a rundown of the three places I was imagining we might end up in, along with some questions to ask. It’s all tentative.
What do you think?
