Video registration of Pharo/Moose days

Hi,

Diego will take my video camera with him, making it possible to record the
presentations, so we can put them online. He does not want to spend
three days only recording talks though. He would like some volunteers
to record one (or more) sessions each. Any takers?

The idea is to just keep the camera zoomed in on the speaker.
Slides can be separate. Could a tripod be provided locally?
That would be much more comfortable and better for the quality
of the recordings. Will there be enough light on the presenter to
make it worthwhile, or will the room be dark for the beamer?

If the machine with the presentation has ScreenFlow, it would
be possible to merge the video stream with the presentation
and get really slick results. I would be willing to do the editing.

Cheers,
Stephan

I cannot go to this event, so I would appreciate these videos A LOT. Excellent initiative, thanks in advance! (Fingers crossed …)

Thanks a lot for the initiative.

Any volunteers? In any case, I think we can find some on the spot.

Cheers,

Doru

Do you think it will work if I do a screen recording using Quicktime?

Even though we can, I'd prefer it if those being there would take
a look at the program and speak up on which session they would
like to record themselves. That way you can make sure you can
have your full attention to the sessions you need to see (because
when you are recording, you tend to focus on other things than the
story being told).

Ah, it works on my machine :)

Yes, Screenflow can import quicktime recordings. Just make sure to
use a sensible format, as both enormous files and bad image quality
are annoying. Synchronisation is no problem. ScreenFlow just allows
after-the-fact highlighting/zooming/panning etc.

Re: Video registration of Pharo/Moose days

Hi,

I was planning to record some sessions for my privat use.
So, I would like to help.
My cam is a Kodak play sport. If someone has better equipment I can also use that.

I will be in Berne at 2 and 3 of April.

The mongoDB Session and the Innovative web-applications with Pharo talk are the most important for me.

OK will test first to get a decent setup.

Thank you.

Please let us know about how it goes.

That is a good idea (for all presenters). If you can make it into
a 30 second teaser, or even a 6:40/20slide pecha kucha,
we could even publish them already.

Doru: will there be a default presentation machine with screenflow?

A multi-cam setup would be great. Being able to switch from question to answer
view helps. That would require one camera to be in front/to the side,
facing the public. I don't know how practical that is with the available room
(and camera zoom).

I also will have trouble attending from Australia and would appreciate
that. Also it be good general PR longer term.

I'd be happy to donate a small amount for a few beers for the
volunteers, if there was some mechanism to receive that. Perhaps the
Association could handle that? Or perhaps the lowest overhead would be
transferring to someone's personal account.

Perhaps we can meet the evening before and try the equipment in the real environment.
And having the beer after that;-)

I would If I had time enough ;) paper deadline on wednesday, so until then I
don't have much time at hand.

I did a rough estimation. Using quicktime screen recording in high quality
yields roughly 1GB raw video for 30mins. And the less you move stuff around
on the screen the smaller the video :P. I used a fairly small terminal font
and everything was sharp and readable.

To get a decently compressed video I used the opensource MIRO video converter
http://www.mirovideoconverter.com/
and exported the whole file as mpg4 compressing roughly by a factor 6. So
that will be ~150MB for 40mins, that should work.

Thanks to everyone! I am moved not only by volume of people stepping up to take care of our community, but the quality of the plans and suggestions. I can't wait to see the videos!
