Program Committee People,
I'd like your input and advice on recording EclipseCon sessions for
later webcast/podcast. There are four options listed here in order of
decreasing cost (or, should I say, in order to increasing number of
sessions that can be recorded) (estimated number of talks we can afford
to do this way in parentheses):
- Camera recording the speaker on stage synced with an XGA
recording of the presenters screen. The end result is a side-by-side
person and presentation. (2)
- Camera recording the speaker on stage (and audio, of course). The
end result would be something like the TED Talks
but of course not nearly so polished as TED. (6)
- An XGA recording of the presenters screen, but not the presenter
at all. The end result would be something like a screencast.
(24)
- Recording the audio only, no visuals. The end result would be podcasts.
(~100)
Obviously, a perfect world would have option 1 for all EclipseCon
talks. However, given the cost of cameras, post production, etc.,
that's not going to happen. So, as the program committee, would you
like to see many fewer recorded sessions with a video of the presenter
or many more with just the slides/screen or even more than that just as
podcasts ?
