Job interviewing is yet another purpose for digital video. Besides being a great time saver for companies looking to hire the best candidate, video job interviews allow recruiters a fast 24/7 approach to locating the perfect hire. More interviews can be done using video than face to face. In fact, when you consider the advantages, why even bother with the initial face to face interview? After reviewing a video job interview of an applicant, companies and recruiters can tell if the candidate is what they are looking for without spending the extra time and effort conducting a face to face interview.

Video Interview Tips
• Test your video camera and or web cam before your scheduled interview. Skype is a great tool for practicing the on camera interview.
• Ask for help from a professional if you are having trouble with your video equipment.
• Answer all the questions no matter how difficult that the company might ask in a face to face interview. Questions like why did you leave your last job?
• Dress for success in a business professional outfit just like if you were delivering a speech or conducting a meeting.
• Practice, practice, practice! Do rehearsals again and again until you feel like you are comfortable. Some interviews will be live, others pre recorded.
• What are your surroundings like? What is behind you? Make sure your setting looks professional
• Pay attention to lighting and camera exposure. Dark videos are as bad as videos that are over exposed.
• Look at the camera as if it were the interviewee. Looking at the camera is like eye contact in a face to face interview. Do not look away or down at the table.
• Think positive thoughts before your video interview. Programming your brain for success is much more powerful than failure. If you think you can or think you can’t, you are probably right!
• Remain calm and comfortable. People who don’t look good on video probably believe they don’t look good on video. Get it?

What Will Your Video Look Like on an I Pad?
The Apple I-Pad is changing the way we receive information and sell our products. Today, 60% of internet users surf the web from portable electronic devices. Apple I-Pad continues to help that momentum by bringing a larger screen and no frills low cost approach to reading, listening and viewing multi media (many media) content including video from the internet.

Amazon has Kindle, and electronic devise that allows individuals to electronically download books from Amazon without the cost of printing and shipping. Customers can transport and have access to dozens of books without having to carry the weight and bulk of a book.

My friend, Terry Brock (www.terrybrock.com) travels to Panama every August for many reasons turned me on to Kindle. Without Kindle he would have two extra overweight suitcases full of books.

Now with Apple’s I-Pad, not only can you download and read books from I-tunes, you can also download and read these books in color (Kindle is black & white). Now, with the addition of videos and audio on the I Pad, Kindle really has a competitor that may eventually put Kindle out of business.

As professional speakers, entertainers and authors, we can now offer multimedia (many media) content on I-tunes for free, as well as for sale, and bundle them together. Imagine blending a video introduction or video and audio content with your book. It could be an interview with the author on video or a video introduction, by the author of the book. It could be a video product for sale or multiple chaptered videos or other easily referenced video clips. By purchasing and downloading audio, video and text from I-tunes or subscribing to a video pod casts, I Pad helps take us to the next level of product development. Multi media on I Tunes will help market and promote your business.

Primeau Productions Inc. has partnered with Sequencing Inc. to help our customers better understand how to utilize this technology on synergistically implement into Internet marketing progress. Click the link below to listen to an audio pod cast of an interview between Primeau Productions Inc., President and CEO Ed Primeau and Sequencing Inc. co-owner, Jim Barbour, about the future Internet marketing with the I-Pad.

Sending a video clip to your client before your speaking engagement or performance is a great way to get Internet visibility. Plus, if the clip is good (and it should be) more than likely your client will leave it on their website after your event. Ask if they can also add a link back to your website.
This will also help build your Wikipedia credentials.

The Magic of Customer Service

Ever been to Walt Disney World? If not, have you talked to anyone who has? What is it about that place where people will spend a small fortune to go and then go back again and again?…Magic…and I’m not just talking about the “Magic Kingdom”. I’m talking about the magic of Customer Service and why they decided to make it their number one ingredient in bringing customers back year after year.

If you go to Disney World, you will walk around seeing smiling faces, over the top enthusiasm, clean streets, etc…All of these things that make you want to come back time and time again. They understand that the more they make you happy, the more you’ll want to come back and spend more money, and the more you’ll talk to your friends and family about your experience. Tickets into the parks are not cheap and they don’t have to be. People will pay just about any amount to get in to catch a glimpse of that feeling…like they are the most important customers on the planet. Their brand is all about that magic…

There is lots of hype about customer service. What is it exactly? It’s such a popular phrase, however it is rarely discussed in detail as to why it makes or breaks a company. If you have a great product or service and want to shout it out to the world, you better have a great Customer Service team to back it up. For every wonderful product or service, there is a wonderful question or problem that goes along with it. You need that kind, caring, understanding person on the other end of the line who is ready to listen to their problems and offer a shoulder to lean on.

There is also a way to deal with those angry, nasty customers, too. It’s called patience. You need to be able to listen through all that yelling and shouting to really get to the meat of the problem. Once you identify the situation, you can start the resolution process. Even if you don’t resolve it in that instant, just being able to acknowledge that person’s anguish can make all the difference in the world and keep your customer coming back for more. It could just be as simple as telling them you don’t have the answer but you’ll find it and then calling them back as soon as possible.

People want to be heard, they want to be taken care of. They don’t care about other people’s problems; they care about the problem that is front of them right now. Recognize their need for assistance and address the issues.

The best piece of marketing you can have in any business is word of mouth. All it takes is for one person to have a bad experience with your company and you just lost not only them as a customer, but everyone they know. Consider improving your Customer Service and you will reap the magical benefits.

Audio Forensics: An Accurate, Arguable and
Authentic Approach to Understanding Audio Evidence

Bell Labs was the first to discover that spoken word patterns and sounds could be identified and characteristics examined to identify the individual who made them. This has been a very important advancement in forensic science because the potential to assist law enforcement is well worth the effort it takes to defend the proponents and practitioners. Audio forensics is sometimes referred to by some as a “junk science.” After over 25 years of examining, editing and clarifying audio recordings, I can attest to and scientifically prove that voice identification and audio authentication comprise an exacting science that has huge benefit to the courts, law enforcement agencies and businesses.
In the following article, I will describe what works and does not work for two of the main activities of audio forensic experts: voice identification and audio authentication. I will also review and break down the steps and processes I employ and explain why I believe audio forensics is a valuable tool in litigation.
I have been retained for dozens of court cases, as well as by corporations, to analyze and help explain various aspects of audio evidence in one form or another. Some situations required that I find the truth about the source of a threatening voice, like a bomb threat called into 911 or a sexually harassing voice mail left on a victim’s phone.
Other cases involved defendants trying to validate or disqualify a pre-recorded audio confession. Evidentiary audio recordings all have one thing in common: they needed an experienced audio forensic expert to review and either qualify (validate) or disqualify the evidence. My job as an audio forensic expert is to determine the recording’s authenticity or to identify the person’s voice.
Voice Identification Overview
I have been practicing voice identification for over 25 years. Many of my skills and principles have been learned from employment as an audio engineer. Other skills I have learned through reading and studying to develop skills and completing successful cases successfully. I believe people's voices, just like fingerprints, can be identified through visual inspection of sound waves and spectrum analysis, as well as through critical listening skills. I have conducted voice identification for sexual harassment, workers compensation and employment harassment, as well as various threatening voice mail messages like bomb threats.
In our country today, we are guilty until proven innocent, the opposite of what our United States Constitution promises. It is my job to determine the truth about voice recordings using visual, electronic and auditory inspection of, both the evidence recording and an exemplar (voice sample taken for the purpose of comparison).
A typical case I would review might involve a telephoned bomb threat or harassing call that was recorded on audiotape or digital voicemail. After the police arrested a suspect, I would be retained by either the state (court) or defense to determine the truth about that audio recording.
The first step is to examine the original evidence and learn as much about the recording as possible. How was it created? Who created it? What machinery was involved?
Then, with the help of the court or defense lawyer, I create an exemplar of the accused voice to compare visual, electronic and auditory characteristics.
Almost every legal case I have been engaged in has allowed my report and or testimony into evidentiary status to aid with “due process.” I believe my success rate is high due to the fact that I employ the three testing platforms outlined above.
Steady advances in computer technology have had a huge impact on audio forensic voice identification. Having experience as an acoustic engineer who has listened to literally hundreds of hours of spoken word recordings, in addition to sophisticated electronic software programs, has contributed to my success with voice identification.
One case I examined involved a bomb threat. Bomb threats make up a fairly large segment of voice identification activity. The call in question was made from a pay phone outside of a convenience store to a 911 operator. This was scientifically evident when police traced the call.
The caller identified herself by name as an employee of XYZ Company. When the police arrived at XYZ Company, they found the employee with the name the caller gave the 911 operator and arrested her. The employee denied making the call.
She was charged with making a bomb threat call, guilty until proven innocent. I was retained by the defense to prove that our client did not make the bomb threat call.
Voice Identification Procedure
When comparing spoken word samples for the purpose of identification, I base my processes on historical information I have learned from the scientific community, state police crime labs, other forensic experts and designers and developers of electronic (especially computer) equipment and testing software programs. My process requires the visual, electronic, and auditory examination of every aspect of the words spoken, not just the pathological examination. The words themselves, the way the words flow together, the pauses between the words, the way the words are formed by the mouth and larynx can be measured using three processes. The first process is a visual examination of the sound wave, comparing the evidence and an exemplar (a voice sample of the accused). The second process is an electronic measurement of the evidence, which is then compared to the exemplar. The third process is perhaps the most important: critical listening skills that compare the evidence and the exemplar of how the words are spoken and pronounced. Noise floor and electronic measurement of speech and other audible sounds in the recording must also be considered and measured. Forensic procedure requires careful examination of all audio evidence characteristics, following procedures as outlined by the scientific community.
These scientific procedures begin with the analysis of the quality of the audio recording. It is important to establish that the quality of the recording in question is acceptable and workable. Sometimes, it may be necessary for an audio forensic expert to apply some light equalization or other non-destructive audio processing to reduce or remove background noise that may interfere with the forensic examination.
Voice identification requires the forensic examiner to discover similarities, as well as differences, in all three areas of investigation.
Here are the step-by-step processes I use when conducting voice identification:
1. Visual examination of the original recording, analogue or digital. This includes examination of the physical characteristics of the tape itself (if analogue) or analogue or digital recorder. It is important to examine the cassette tape (standard, mini or micro) or other analogue or digital source to determine if there are visual signs of tampering or alteration.
2. Once the physical evidence has been examined, the next step is to load the recording in question into a forensic computer. Visual examination of the sound wave, sonogram and spectrograph reveal speech characteristics and patterns of verbal delivery as well as electronic characteristics. At this point, the recording has been digitized so forensic software can analyze and conduct various tests.
3. If possible, for authentication or voice identification, an exemplar or comparison recording should be made of the original recording to compare the original recording characteristics. This same forensic examination process that is applied to the evidence is also applied to the exemplar to determine that the characteristics are the same and the recording is from the same audio recorder.
4. When conducting voice identification, it is important to create an exemplar of the accused for audio comparison using as exact conditions and equipment as close as possible to the measurements taken from the evidence as outlined above. The speech must be the same as the speech on the evidence in order for the testing to be accurate. As an audio forensic expert, I often have to coach the accused into the same energetic voice tone and inflection as the evidence recording. However, it is still possible to compare speech if the exemplar is not as close to the evidence as I would like.
5. Critical listening skills are used to examine the speech pattern, pronunciation, voice tone and inflection, accent, dialect and specific speech characteristics (like a lisp or significant “s” delivery). There is a rhythm in how an individual speaks, and even if s/he is trying to disguise his/her speech (in an attempt to fool the forensic examiner), the rhythm and speech patterns as described above still show through. The expert must pay careful attention to the rhythm of spoken word formations. I listen to single words as well as phrases and sentences. I like to compare original evidence sections of spoken word recordings as well as individual words. This is best accomplished by editing exemplars and original recordings back to back. It is extremely helpful to then make these sub files of words and sentences within the section back to back with exemplars. I repeat the assembly over and over to accommodate critical listening skills with the auditory identification process. That way, your ear can experience the sounds, vowel formations and consonants without interruption.
There are many character traits that can be experienced in a spoken word recording. It is important for the audio forensic expert to become familiar with the evidence speech patterns and visual and electronic characteristics. These characteristics are evident in a person’s voice even if he or she attempts to disguise it and they are compared to the exemplar.
Audio Authentication
Using many of the same tools as described above, audio authentication can help determine the validity of audio evidence that is being considered as evidence in litigation.
When authenticating an audio recording, it is important that the audio forensic expert pay careful attention to tone consistency of the audio recorded signal (speech) as well as the recording’s noise floor.
The consistent audio-recorded signal is important because audio recordings that are not authentic are most always edited or fabricated assemblies of two or more audio recordings for the purpose to deceive the person(s) listening to the recording. Using the tools described above, the audio forensic expert can measure the tone consistency to determine authenticity.
Those same tools can also measure the noise floor looking for inconsistencies in the room tone or background noise of the recording. These breaks or changes in either audio recorded signal or background noise are signs that the audio recording being considered may be counterfeit or fake.
Critical Listening Skills
I have been working with professional speakers and analyzing other spoken word recordings since 1980 and have developed my critical listening skills to a degree that far exceeds the average person’s sound perception. When I first hear audio evidence and add exemplar recordings so I can listen to both back to back, then I apply my critical listening skills to determine the speech similarities as well differences between the two.
In my early days as an audio engineer, I learned to edit ¼” reel to reel tape with razor blades to make a recording sound as if it were recorded start to finish without a single mistake. Some of my edits were pretty tricky. I got so good I could split words in two and even three edits to fix a problem or shorten a script. After a while, I became very familiar with speech characteristics and patterns as well as vocal tone and pronunciation.
The best way to become skilled in voice identification is to listen to hundreds of hours of forensic evidence to become familiar with the various speech pathological characteristics and develop critical listening skills.
There can sometimes be differences in speech patterns that can help identify clues. Listen for several similarities as well as differences, such as nasal resonance differences and voice tone with regard to inflection.
Voice Identification Conclusions
When conducting the examination, the audio forensic expert must look for similarities as well as differences in all three testing platforms to help arrive at a conclusion.
After the investigation and testing procedures are complete, the forensic experts report must arrive at one of the following conclusions: positive identification, probable identification, positive elimination, possible elimination or inconclusive.
The key to successful voice identification is to develop a methodology and standard procedure that you strictly follow every time you conduct an identification and comparison.
Audio Authentication Conclusion
Every tone change in either the audio recorded signal or background noise must be documented and analyzed as a whole before considering the recording genuine or authentic. All forensic concerns must be documented and listed in the forensic report to prove the audio forensics findings.
The Audio Forensic Report
It is my belief that the audio forensic report should include:
1. The introduction: What the expert was asked to do and how the expert arrived at their conclusion, including all scientific fact.
2. The testing processes you employed to examine the audio evidence.
3. The expert’s conclusion of the tests, including the expert’s opinion as to the relevant facts and concerns.
4. The expert’s curriculum vita (resume) to establish credibility as an audio forensic expert, and to accommodate the Federal Court’s protocol for submitting an expert report.
5. A published article authored by the expert concerning the kind of testing relevant to the current case.

Video Forensic Expert

There are many activities of a Video Forensic Expert that help the legal system better understand the truth behind video evidence and court room exhibits.

A Video Forensic Expert helps criminal justice personnel to understand the power, potential, accuracy and inaccuracy of closed circuit television systems (also known as video security systems), police car video footage which often becomes evidence to determine probable cause to understand the truth of an investigation, crime or traffic stop.

A Video Forensic Expert reviews the relevant facts about how a video surveillance system operates in relationship to the video evidence being presented.

The Video Forensic Expert then communicates and interprets the circumstances surrounding those events in the court room as it relates to the evidence or exhibit being presented in an expert witness capacity.

The Video Forensic Expert also helps communicate the difference between analogue and digital video closed circuit television systems as well as each format strength and weakness. Helping courts with litigation that includes video evidence, understand how to handle video evidence should it become necessary and how to preserve the chain of custody for digital and analogue video forensic evidence is standard operating procedure for any Video Forensic Expert.

Closed circuit television and other video recording security systems is a visual assessment tool. Visual Assessment means having proper identifiable or descriptive information during or after an incident or accident.

Visit: http://digitalvideoforensics.blogspot.com/2009/11/video-authentication.html for more information on Closed Circuit Television Systems.

Personal Identification is another activity that a Video Forensic Expert often assists with. Video is a solution to courts for reexamining a set of circumstances surrounding a crime because it has the ability to provide the viewer a tool to review a sequence of events, beyond a shadow of a doubt. This does not reflect human identification, but rather, the ability to identify specific information or objects within a video image.

Clarification
Often a Video Forensic Expert must provide clarification services to help laypersons better view video footage. Part of this clarification process is done in a video software program. Other times it may become necessary for a Video Forensic Expert to export a frame or several frames for the video evidence and import into another software program to further clarify an image for identification purposes.

Because of the need for accuracy, it is also the duty of a Video Forensic Expert to examine time-lapse video from closed circuit television systems that may exclude important crime scene characteristics.

For example, if using a digital recorder or DVR, with a low image per second frame rate setting may not capture some important images on the video recorder. The lower frame rate setting is desired by many digital CCTV system users to reduce storage requirements of surveillance video on hard drives.

On the Primeau Productions You Tube page, there are video examples of this frame rate scenario.

Improper Use of Video Forensic Evidence
In law enforcement, video recording systems are installed in most police cruisers and help bring accidents, drunk driving and other traffic stop situations and crimes into the court room to be reviewed by lawyers, judges and juries to aid with a more positive and accurate legal outcome.
Law enforcement uses video to exhibit probable cause.

Video Forensic Experts help courts understand video evidence and video evidence admissibility. Often time’s video evidence is improperly used and a Video Forensic Expert assists the court by clarifying details that are not easily understood by laypersons.

An experienced Video Forensic Expert is good at breaking down technical language to a level laypersons can understand so they can make better decisions about the video evidence being presented.

Forensic Questions about Video Evidence
• What do we know about this recording to be true (within a reasonable degree of professional certainty)?
• On what type of equipment was the video recording made?
• Is the original recording of the video available for examination?
• Is the original recording equipment that made the tape also available for examination?

Video Anomalies
The Video Forensic Expert also looks for anomalies in a video recording when authenticating a video recording about to be entered into litigation as evidence or an exhibit.

Anomalies are abnormalities, deviations or “breaks” in the recording process as evidenced on the physical tape or digital video file. These aberrations can impact the legitimacy of a video (digital or analogue) as a piece of legal evidence.

Another form of anomaly as of lately is lack of video footage presented.
A Video Forensic Expert is also responsible in determining if all the relevant video footage is present and complete before the video evidence is used in court. Often times a party engaged in litigation will enter incomplete video evidence in an attempt to alter the relevant facts similarly to altering or modifying the video evidence by editing or other tampering. This is another form of anomaly that a Video Forensic Expert can help identify.

Authentication
Video authentication is an intricate process requiring extensive training, experience and sophisticated tools and equipment. Add ever-changing technological advances and increased use of recording devices by businesses and the general public – and you begin to glimpse the expertise needed by a Video Forensic Expert.

Death of a Video Format
By Ed Primeau and Brandon Keilman

I was standing in line at the Secretary of State last week to renew a license plate and saw a video playing on a flat screen in the lobby. The quality was brilliant; very high quality, rich and robust in every area of sight and sound. The source was produced using high definition video tape and digitally edited and formatted onto Blu-ray DVD.

For a few years now, I have been preaching about the importance of Internet marketing with digital video distribution (which is still very important) while discounting DVD as a worth while marketing tool. The Internet aspect to video still holds true, except we now have to re-look at DVD from a fresh perspective.

There is an ongoing debate over DVD format that is worth understanding so you can apply this medium to your business.

In a knock-out, fall-out battle, Blu-ray DVD is the official champion and High Definition DVD has gone by the wayside, in a similar fashion to consumer grade laser disk and beta. In this article, we hope to clear some of the confusion and explain the impact to you personally as well as on your business.

Let us clarify an important point before we move on. High Definition digital video is a format video cameras record and High Definition DVD is a format of delivery or medium to deliver the video on. High Definition video recording is still the best way to video record. It is High Definition DVD that no longer exists and what this article is about.

Here is how the war was lost:
The Toshiba Company was the main developer and backer (with the support of Microsoft) of what could have been the next “big thing” in video delivery, High Definition DVD. While Microsoft favored the “High Definition DVD” format, Sony favored the Blu-ray DVD format.
Blue Ray was and is supported by many different companies including Sony as the next “big thing” in video formatting. High Definition was the choice of Microsoft and Toshiba until recently.

So, now that the war is over, I guess the demise of the HD DVD video format should not come as a surprise when the two formats are compared and closely examined. First, the quality of both in terms of picture and sound are a huge step up from a regular DVD in resolution. However, when further investigating Blu-ray, the storage capacity is four times greater than that of High Definition DVD. In our opinion, this is perhaps the largest deal breaker for High Definition DVD.

The Blu-ray storage advantage means less need for multiple DVD disk box sets. Companies such as Fox who are always looking for a way to minimize cost and increase profit love the storage advantage Blue Ray offers.

To the consumer it means we can go out and buy a Season of our favorite show in a much smaller package, instead of a big clunky box full of DVDs. As for the sound and picture quality, there is a noticeable difference between Blu-ray and High Definition DVD. Even on the best of televisions the HD DVD still remains a bit grainy where as the Blu-ray has very crisp rich looking images.

Another influence in the decision to kill HD DVD was the backing of the Sony Corporation. Sony is the leading edge developer and implementer of Blu-ray players into devices their consumers use on a daily basis. Their PlayStation 3 models are considered one of the best Blu-ray players on the market. Price-wise, not only do you get a Blu-ray player; you get a video game console and audiovisual storage unit all rolled into one.

Also of note: Sony Vaio computers have the option for a Blu-ray DVD drive upgrade.

Microsoft put their money behind the HD DVD format by offering an external player for their Xbox line of products. However, upon hearing the news that Toshiba was canceling its HD DVD line, Microsoft discontinued their HD DVD external player; they’ve yet to release an external Blu-ray player. There is a rumor that the external Blu-ray player for Xbox is in the works.

Unfortunately, the adult film industry also had a great influence over these decisions. Whether we chose to ignore it or pretend it doesn’t exist, The adult film industry still has a large influence over the Blu-ray decision. Even with its apparent loss of revenue to online video, the industry still has some sway in regards to the format its line of adult videos will be on.

Since 2007, and early 2008, the adult film industry put its backing behind the Blu-ray DVD format. This, combined with the other reasons mentioned above, seems to be the straw that broke the camels back for HD DVD.

What does this mean for you and your business of DVD products? We are entering a time that future video products should be recorded on High Definition video tape and released on Blu-ray DVD.

So, now that you know Blu-ray DVD is the future of DVD video delivery, what type of product can you develop on Blu-ray DVD? Consider that Blu-ray will deliver graphics and still images that look more brilliant and video images of much higher quality because they are recorded on High Definition video. In addition, the length of programming time is greater on Blu-ray than standard DVD.

We highly recommend Duplicating your Blu-ray inventory in low quantities as just-in-time delivery…because it will not be long before the next “greatest advancement” in digital video comes out to further confuse us and, once again, change everybody’s thinking, including ours.
