Right on. It's not super important to me who does what exactly. The main thing is to get people who come out to participate in whatever ways are appealing and interesting. Also to try and grow the community and make us a prominent hub of activity in our part of the world. (inset Dr. Evil type laughter:)
So I reached out to the guy at the Austin meetup who did the Dlive / Dtube presentation. He was cool and said get in touch if we want help. So that's a nice option if we want to use it.
I agree it makes sense to let people know we'll be video-taping parts of the event, so they have the option to be excluded if they prefer. Will make a note to announce it / maybe post a sign on the steps.
I'm curious how you plan to do the recording. Are you going to use your phone or have a separate video camera? I have a tripod if you need it. I think it can be rigged for a cel-phone too.
Also this is kind of funny - we're going to try and get @Knircky patched in remotely via skype, hangouts, facetime, etc. Maybe you'd like to help with or can advise on as well?:)
I was planning on recording with my phone. It's a Google Pixel 2, which has a pretty good camera. I have a mini tripod for cell phones with flexible legs. If you have a tall tripod that could definitely help us get a better angle.
Is this going to be a presentation based meetup / who's presenting? It'd be nice if we could screen record from whoever's laptop is presenting. This would allow me to add a picture-in-picture style recording, so you could see the presenter and the slides.
Remotely to present or just watch? If the later, I'd say someone should just videochat him on their device.
Cool, sounds good.
My sense is that it's mainly going to be discussions. We're going to look at different Steemit users and posts to dissect what works and what doesn't work so well. TBH though I'm not 100% sure whether Matt has slides he plans to use or not, so feel free to hit him up.
I may get some visuals together now that we're talking about it, but we'll see.
I just asked Matt about the screen cap and he said it should be no problem. And I didn't fully respond about Phil, he's not presenting, just wants to watch. I'll see if I can find someone else to help with it...
