Hello all,<br>
A heads up, Nick has secured the UCC for the talk on hierarchical
storage management (clustered file systems). Start time is slated
for 7pm. Peter Lyons has picked up a few USB headsets for the crew
to use, so it should start to become a lot easier to co-ordinate
camera work (with mumble, now we're not using the flaky PCI sound
cards in the donated hosts).<br>
<br>
This month we're ready with the sound desk - Euan's probably the
main man on this, with our XLR and wireless mic. I think this month
we should practice getting the XLR mic handed to the person asking
questions and catch that audio, and also catch their image with the
camera.<br>
<br>
We have three cameras currently, and a shortage of tripods to put
them on (only 2 we can borrow). So our current volunteer numbers
required i:<br>
<ul>
<li>Audio Desk (Euan)</li>
<li>Directing/Vision mixing/stream encoding (Jason)</li>
<li>Camera operators x2 or x3 or more?</li>
</ul>
<br>
<b>Can you please respond if you're planning on coming next week and
can help out?</b> <br>
<br>
From the footage last time, do we want to improve the look? Here's
some possible ideas - please say if you can supply any, or improve
these suggestions:<br>
<ul>
<li>Flat sheet behind speaker? Colour? White?? Grey??</li>
<li>Sheet over/in front of table? Again, white??</li>
<li>Lighting? (probably not required, unless someone has a funky
light to throw on the background??)</li>
<li>Anyone got a projector (or two) we can borrow to project video
stream and presentation?</li>
<li>Extra tripod for 3rd camera<br>
</li>
</ul>
