Wishes to the DC8 orga team: * Have a complete schedule ready by the beginning of Debcamp ** Rescheduling must be communicated to the video team in due time
* Good video tripods for all the cameras that need to move during talks (tripods are bulky; I can only bring one...) * Be ready to provide one cameraperson for each BoF. The video team will strive to reduce BoF coverage to panning, zooming and the push of a button on a grabbing laptop. * Don't throw parties in the talk rooms, unless you want to induce ulcers and fury among video team members next morning! Goals for the DC8 video team: * To top DC7's coverage ;-) * Simplified recording workflow, more failsafe. * A better way of capturing the presenter's screen (software or hardware) * Training video and/or courses for the cam-ops. * Talk-back from the director to cam-ops. * Audience cams that can get good close-ups of _everyone_ in the audience. Suggestions: * Constant recording by default. Recording is the "safe" operation, stopping it is risky. * Archiving the streams remotely, for extra redundancy. * Extending dvswitch to remote-control the sources and the sinks, and monitor them for status. * "Playout"/"autopilot" in dvswitch, that instructs the banner dvsource to play a banner specific for the upcoming talk, and switches to preset sources (e.g. speaker cam) when the talk is due. Wishes: * Remote-controlled cameras, so we can get by with fewer cam-ops * Full-resolution streams, ensuring legible slides (optional, of course) * Dedicated documentary equipment, sufficiently shiny for the wannabe film-maker. Maybe a full-blown documentary team. -- Herman Robak _______________________________________________ Debconf-video mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-video
