[videoblogging] Vlogging an event

2007-05-22 Thread joitske
Hi all, 

I've joined this list recently and I'm pretty impressed by the 
messages I have a question: in June we are planning to vlog a 
meeting of two days in Brussels with 80 people and several subsessions 
(using both english and french language). I'm wondering whether you 
would have any tips or cool ideas, as this is the first time I'll be 
doing this (we have a team of 4-5 people who will help in the process). 
We do want to combine it with normal blogposts and photostreams. 

Cheers, Joitske Hulsebosch (the Netherlands)

 Howdy folks!
 
 I'm trying to make my first videoblog and have hit a roadblock. Am so
 used to shooting stills that I shot a bunch of my stuff verticle on my
 new Sony Handycam DCR-HC28.aaah! So I downloaded simplerot ($3
 plug-in allowing you to rotate clips in iMovie) and can't get it to
 just stop at 90 degrees...it keeps rotating for the length of the 
clip. 
 
 Someday I'll laugh about it!
 Any suggestions?
 cheers, ~sunny

you could simply set up a camera and record each session.
Then you can compress and upload each session to a blog.
you can see how we did it at Vloggercon 2006:

(it can be made much prettier these days)

you can also get a group to go around and do little interviews with
people at the conference.
here's an example we did last year at a conference in Santa Barbara:

The biggest challenge is the workflow.
usually...people record a lot of video...and then no one wants to deal with it.
the tapes just sit on someone's desk for months.

So i suggest that the work be distributed.
assign each person with one session that they will record and upload.
or assign each person to record and upload 5 short hallway interviews.
in this way...it'll get done.
