Re: [DDN] digital camcorder donation

2006-05-04 Thread Andy Carvin

Hi Phil,

What exactly do you mean it's been donated to DDN? How would one share a 
piece of equipment over an international network? It's great to know 
someone would want to donate a video camera to DDN, but I'm just not 
clear on the logistics -andy

hi Digital Divide Network community -

   some happy news to share.  a digital camcorder has been donated to the DDN
community for us to use in whatever way we please.  this camcorder is a canon
zr500. it comes with a lavalier (clip on) microphone. 


one possible use of this camcorder might be for interviews between DDN
community members.  such interviews could be conducted over the internet using
the free gizmo internet phone service.

  with both people in the interview capturing their own video and audio,
internet latencies become a non-issue. the two video files can be merged into a
single quicktime file using quicktime pro (or final cut.)  


this kind of interview conducted over the internet has become commonly
known as a “rosetime,” in honor of charlie rose, who conducts a popular
interview program on public television, here in the united states.

   rosetimes can be uploaded for free to the internet archive, which
provides free, permanent web hosting.  (http://www.archive.org)

   here within the DDN community there is a treasure trove of interesting
stories from members in our community.  we're not going to wait around for
anyone else to tell these stories. we're going to tell them ourselves.

   sorry i don't have some rosetimes to share with you today, but i hope to
have a couple uploaded before the “Beyond Broadcast” conference in cambridge,
mass., later this month.

   the rosetime genre owes its existence to the DDN community. some of the 
people involved in bringing this genre to life include -

for those of you who are new to the Digital Divide Network, here is a

 if you're interested in appearing in a rosetime (or would like to
volunteer time to conduct some), thanks for sending me an email with the word
“rosetime” in the subject line. i'll be sending some follow-up emails explaining
the process for creating rosetimes using imovie and quicktime pro. (quicktime
pro sells for $30 from apple computer.)

btw, if you're new to the Digital Divide Network and have not yet filled in your
profile on the DDN web site, you bring value to the movement by doing so.  since
it is never easy to write about yourself, you might get some ideas from some of
the existing profiles (above.) 


some of the most interesting ideas within the DDN community come from folks
outside of the united states.  it would be a good thing for the DDN community to
find a way to get some digital camcorders to loan to people outside of the
united states. if you're interested in helping with that, thanks for sending me

Sounds like fun, Phil.  Maybe DDNers can propose uses for the camera  
that integrates the website and googlevideo in some instructional  
way, then the projects can be ranked and the camera shipped out in  
order of the ranking of the learning projects.  Perhaps in a way that  
produces content of value to the community ie classroom  
instructionals ... ?
