I'd rather see reasonable lighting and a microphone at least on the
podium before worrying about obfuscating bad video with clever
editing. A full time camera operator that is not a participant is
essential.
Amateurs usually don't bother with production values such as these,
but it's silly as these things are easily done. This raises the
value of the presentation to something that could endure, rather
than be a throw-away one shot.
It's one thing to say 'throw up a camera' and another to sit and
watch a stationary camera shot on a computer for an hour.
Also editing takes hour$. It's better to get well-recorded C-Span-
like live coverage with a little switching, then you're done.
There is a lot of semi pro video around - surely there's someone
competitive in the area to do this.
My shooting the video last year was done just for fun. It was never
intended by me to make a commercial product from it. I just was
shooting video and posting it on my website to allow people that
could not attend experience some of the juice. I shot video with my
little family cam while others were taking photos for the same
reason. The quality of the video is a reflection of many things, but
was not an attempt by Dan or Chipp to get something for cheap that
was later to be sold. It was done purely for fun. BTW, I got a lot
of e-mails direct and on the list thankful for the effort. I don't
remember the specs, but I had GBs of downloads for the videos I posted.
I believe it would be wonderful if a pro could do the job. If it
doesn't happen, I still think there is some value to post the keynote
as it does generate a lot of excitement based on the feedback I
received. I don't think I would attempt to record anyones
presentation as the lighting is very dark, I do not have the proper
equipment, and I did not get to enjoy the presentations as much due
to having to keep up with the task.
If we are unable to have a pro record the presentations, the question
still stands. Is anyone interested in some basic video footage of
the keynote (provided Dan and Chipp agree) without C-Span quality
coverage? I don't mind recording it, and posting it on my site as
fast as my little computer can go.
