With all due respect Dan, that was a pretty lowball video set up last year.
A tiny consumer camera streaming through a laptop using the same
router that everyone else was using is not exactly a 'broadcast'. And
how could there have been much of a response since the 'broadcast'
was never announced?
What exactly were the 'logistic and deployment issues' you mentioned?
It looked like Chris just popped the camera out of his bag and
plugged it in. Chris was quite busy with other Rev-like tasks - how
could he properly accommodate doing a decent presentation?
The camera was mostly static (boring), the lighting on the subject
(what lighting?) was horrible and no provision was made to switch
between the direct feed to the projector and the camera. No room
camera to go to either. Pretty hard to watch. Finally the microphone
on the camera was used for the audio, rendering much of what was said
to an echo-y mush. Sorry, Dan, that's not the way it's done. Nobody
will watch (or listen) to that. The production values have to be at
least C-span quality.
For anyone to actually sit through this, the production values have
to be at least good enough to see someone's face in a postage stamp
sized video. And one must still light the subject properly-even if
it's headed to the low-rez web, as it will result in smaller streams
sent due to the compression working less hard.
If it's done well, and professionally, it could be an asset to the
Rev community. One guy with two cameras and a switcher could do it.
It could be paid for with a small paypal fee from those who want to
watch. Surely there is some firm that would do this on spec.
ps.
I'll be happy to be able to just find a place to plug in my laptop
this year.And if you need help with audio (or video) deployment, let
me know....
sqb
At this point we have no plans to videotape any sessions because of the
logistics and deployment issues we ran into last year with almost zero
response from the community.
Audio may happen but video probably won't, at least not predictably and for
resale.
