[PLUG-AV] Bio-Hacking Workshop

[Jason Nicholls]

Hey Daniel,

I probably myself can't, but you're welcome to take the gear and play with

You can get away with just one person potentially but then you'd really be
limited to just a single camera and hope nothing goes wrong! I recorded a
talk using DV camera and laptop with the PLUG wireless mic, it was all good
except the audio since I didn't verify the levels and initially forgot to
plug it in so instead was using the camera mic which was very noisy.

For one person you really want it as simple as possible such as just dumping
the raw video to disk. Audio came via the FW stream (either camera mic or
wireless mic when plugged into camera). After I did the minimal amount of
editing and uploaded to vimeo.

I'd love to attend and help out but I'm stretched too thin atm, sorry.
