Sorry, but YouTube have now changed their system, so this hack no longer works.
Embedded YouTube videos sometimes show an HQ button that you can manually turn on, but as far as I know, there’s no way of making an embedded video auto play HQ by default.

My favourite video anarchists at Wreck & Salvage have started the Mix & Match remix/mashup Group on Vimeo.
They’ve started by posting a track by Kevin Bewersdorf: “I’m Bruce Willis”. Great track – funny stuff – full of lines referencing Die Hard in silly ways.
“You can’t stop me / Roof of Nakatomi / People say they know me but those people don’t know me
I roll up in that limo / Kill all of them Euros
In that ventilation shaft shoot out that window…
I’m Bruce and yer nothin’!”
So I thought I’d get the ball rolling this morning, and knocked something up in 45 mins before breakfast – laying the track down over some scenes of Bruce singing in Moonlighting. Some tweaking, but serendipity did the rest.
You can watch it at:

And have a go yourselves. Mix anything. Or just post about other people’s work. I just posted links to two exceptional remixes about war that I saw today:
Robert Croma’s “Rules of Engagement”
and Loiez’s “Shame”
Back at the end of last year, I think I joked about starting Season 2 of Twittervlog… after a bit of a hiatus.
But it never really got off the ground. I’ve spent the last six months posting apologies for being too busy.
And not finding the time to videoblog my move.
Anyway. Fuck all that. I’M BACK! And now I live in Canada, I’m going to have time to do all sorts of cool new things.
Like videoblogging my experience of moving to Canada, making films about the communities around me, sharing some of the other film & video stuff I’ve been doing, and reviewing & pimping the videomakers I like.
That’s the idea, anyway. We’ll see how it plays out. We’re having another baby in September, so there’ll probably be QUITE A BIG HIATUS around then.
But I’m going to give regular videoblogging another shot. And I’ve already started. There’s something uploading to Blip right now, as I type. A VIDEOBLOG POST. HOLY SHIT!
Thanks for sticking with me and for all your comments and emails. That’s what it’s all about – why I love it, why I keep doing it.
