Camera Equipment #15

Closed moonglum closed 11 years ago

moonglum commented 11 years ago

As @bitboxer just reminded me: We may want to record talks etc. He recommended DV Kameraverleih where you can get a "professional equipment for 40 Euro a day" :smile:

bitboxer commented 11 years ago

I would vote for:

BUT: get at least a day of training on the camera under real conditions. This is not a kids toy and needs to be setup correctly to get the best recordings.

Is this necessary? I've never been able to watch more than 5 minutes of a recorded conference talk, somehow they're much more compelling IRL. €22/day is just the camera. Unless the setup is REALLY professional, videos are edited aftwards and spliced together with dedicated screen feeds, I don't think this is necessary.

bitboxer commented 11 years ago

Do your speakers a favor and record the talks. A lot of people watch them. Just look at the view counts of the confreaks videos. And even professional Videos are edited afterwards. And 22€/day is fucking cheap. That equipment costs thousands of euros.

raucao commented 11 years ago

It's a marginal share of the whole budget, so I'd say if somebody wants to be responsible for it, set it up and operate it (and edit it afterwards or find someone to do it), go for it! Let's just not get the equipment without anyone having committed to actually using it.

+1 for what @skddc said

code-later commented 11 years ago

I agree with @skddc and I think your totally underestimating the amount of work for this to be done, @bitboxer. If someone really feels like doing this and has the required time and experience, yes this would be pretty awesome!

bitboxer commented 11 years ago

No, I don't underestimate it. It is LOT of work. BUT it would be worth it. Sadly I can't do it, because I moved to Berlin last week and need to get some stuff done here :sob:

code-later commented 11 years ago

I didn't say it would not be worth it, I just wanted to stress the workload again to prevent, that someone wants to do it just to realize in the end that it is just too much work. And that would be very sad.

code-later commented 11 years ago

I have another proposal which has something to do with this issue:

My wife is a freelancing journalist and would like to make some kind of short movie about the camp. It is very likely it will get sold, but who knows. The result would mainly be some demo for her and I think it would be a great summary of the event. It would include impressions from all parts of the camp and of course some interviews. She would bring the entire equipment.

What do you think about this?

raucao commented 11 years ago

Sounds fantastic to me!

jhilden commented 11 years ago

Super fantastic!

moonglum commented 11 years ago

Yes of course!

code-later commented 11 years ago

I have bad news on this one, unfortunately my wife cannot make. She worked a little bit too much the last weeks and really need this weekend off. Thus I prohibited her to come along a work again ;-) It's a bit sad, but I guess we still can do some GoPro action shots.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

code-later commented 11 years ago

And I would just close this issue.
