FAQ / General

What is this?

This is a Viennese video/geoblog featuring artists that can be vaguely described by the blurred out term indie.

Who is involved?

The TSMDT core team consists of four persons somewhere in their mid-twenties.

Why are you doing this?

1) We all feel strongly connected to sub culture in one way or another and we enjoy being productive.
2) We all agree with the fact that Vienna is a great town but also lacks fresh representation platforms when it comes to music scenes and media projects.
So we will tag the urban space of Vienna with soundscapes from indie artists and document that on our website. The combination of act and location is also meant as a guide for people who want to know more about relevant subcultural spots in Vienna.

Why are these pages written in English?

This site is meant to have a broad reach. English comes handy for achieving that goal.

You are great! / You suck! / I want to tell you something about my perception of the world!

We are very interested in your concerns. Write an email to: 'office[ at ]theyshootmusic[ dot ]com'.

Whom to thank?

We want to thank all the artists that decided to work with us, Blogotheque.net for being pioneers in urban off video production, earl and sock for supporting the project by tuning the webserver and tributing graphic artwork as well the IPA/Netidee project for supporting the development of this platform.

FAQ / Shootings

Who is featured?

We have no strict guidelines for that. If we like an artist we contact him or her. If the artist likes the idea of working with us we seal the deal and schedule a session.

Why the hell is the camera bouncing around all the time?

This is a very complex topic. Our camera is mounted on a mind controlled alien technology infused anti gravity platform. Our camera operator does his best to control the platform but since he owns a human brain it's quite difficult. Sometimes he even accidently disrupts the time-space continuum. This happens when microphones appear somewhere in the picture. These are actually pictures from a parallel universe where we are pro-camera noobs.

I prefer better picture and sound quality. Can you do something about that?

We already did. Just sign up an account. (You don't need to publish your email address for that.) When you are logged in and navigate to a video you will notice the letters 'Flash' appearing in a select box right below the video player. Change 'Flash' to 'DivX', install the DivX plugin and enjoy high quality video and sound. We don't use that media technology as standard because linux users can't use the divx plugin (atm) and the traffic caused by watching those videos is huge. Btw. you need a pretty fast isp-uplink for watching the high-quality videos in real-time. Once the video is downloaded you can choose to save it to your harddisk by clicking the "X" at the bottom right corner of the video window and choosing "Save video as".
