Videoblogging Tips: Camera Motion
I trained four of my Sun colleagues in videoblogging, and, for practice, they filmed me talking. Some of the resulting video seemed useful, so here it is (in bite-sized pieces).
Videoblogging Tips: Getting Good Sound at a Conference
This week I trained four of my Sun colleagues in videoblogging. It was very hands-on training, with the intent that they actually produce a finished video by the end of the two-day course.
We started with setting up the cameras and mics right away, and I had them practice following an active speaker (me, imitating Jeff Bonwick’s pacing). I wasn’t really thinking about the fact that they were filming me, so I was completely unself-conscious. Which was good in some ways, not so good in others. But some of the material may be useful for videobloggers in general, so I’m editing and posting it in spite of what seems to be inordinate emphasis on my chest.
An OpenSolaris Shirt for Women!
Tired of those baggy, boy-cut t-shirts we all get at conferences, Teresa Giacomini decided to do a run of OpenSolaris shirts for women. Much more flattering to the female figure. Want one? Well, they were very popular and went fast (lots of women in OpenSolaris). Join your local OpenSolaris User Group – maybe they have a few left. ; )
