Vloggercon Day 1 Session 1
Vloggercon Day 1 was very interesting. Here are notes from Session I - Political Vlogging & Social Change
Panelists --
Raymond Kristianson (ditq.org), flew in from Norway - introduced panelists
Kent Bye (echochamberproject.com)
Brett Gaylor (etherworks.ca)
Josh Wolf (joshwolf.net)
Notes taken during session --
1. Kent Bye - Echo Chamber project
Kent recorded news coverage leading up to Iraq war then interviewed people. Wanted to make film to cover complexities leading up to war. Traditional news media covers the first part but the rest of the footage ends up on the cutting room floor. Journalists have a lot of info that's stuck in their heads - their own inefficiencies of knowledge management as well as no place in traditional media. Kent looked at collaborative editing tools - collectively help edit a film - how can you use technology to mediate.
Steps -- usual workflow for post-productio:
Log & parse footage
Filter & categorize
Edit sequences.
What Kent is doing to make it possible to do collaborative editing online --pre-segmenting granular data at a unique URL, tag & rate, playlist, nested playlist.
Get people to rate the sound bites.
Put together in SMIL - Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language - http://www.w3.org/AudioVideo/
Collaborative sense making - echochamber - prototypeTools - drupal content management system
Kent will add video within the next couple of months
Bus. model - Sell DVD at some point - interactive work in development is marketing.
2. Brett Gaylor - Canada - Homeless Nation - homelessnation.org
Using drupal content management system -- http://drupal.org/
Made a documentary of homeless in Montreal, but found that they had to cut so much. Wanted to give people a chance to film themselves. Went to a park and set up a tent with wireless Internet and equipment. First made a documentary and then started moving out to different cities in Canada to give homeless people a voice - and let them express themselves on video. Empowering the homeless - Gadget, a homeless man in Montreal - Brett loaned him a camera and Gadget has been filming but getting into trouble with the police.
3. Josh Wolf - SF
Filming protests in SF - there was an attack on a police officer.
His film of protest in SF was picked on traditional media - KRON TV and other local stations.
A couple of days later, FBI agent showed up at his door demanding the unedited footage, but Josh didn't want to hand it over, so he has been subpoenaed by federal grand jury.
Just graduated from college.
He may have to go to jail if he doesn't turn over the unedited tape.
Considered a federal offense since cop car is partly paid for by federal government.What FBI wants to do is go through tape and figure out who was involved and look at MySpace? and figure out what groups they're involved in and figure out who organized the protest.
RUNtv - project Josh is working on in SF- RUNtv - community college television station called RUNtv. The program is produced in association with the Rise Up Network (a non-profit Josh helped to start), and peralta.TV, the station Joshs works for.
