it's true. you have to start somewhere.
i've been doing a lot of fresh start thinking recently regarding work, career and positioning of what i want to do and where for myself and the family. putting things into place based on the limited resources i currently have. optimising those resources and re-evaluating often. i've found it both frustrating and liberating at the same time.
Setting up a fixed location for recording 'thegravity' show again is one part of the motivation that keeps me going on a day to day basis and has been on my mind for quite some time, well since i stopped doing it last year. I've not been able to catch up with the audiogravity on a day to day basis recently. I have however been keeping the links in evernote for when i get a good chunk of time and when my nose is not blocked as it makes the audioboo sound rough. I'm sure all that is stress related.
Anyway, the web streaming studio in the
lace market house is part of the overall plan to have a fixed location to be able to offer web video services including full HQ/HD streaming over a chunky 100mb internet connection - right now the fibre is dialled down per port per room to 20/15mb Up/Down but as we require more juice i'm sure we can get it. I'm taking over my green screen over hopefully tomorrow and my hdmi to hdmi cable so i can test a 1080i input streaming out on wirecast. i get the trial one month license tomorrow so that will be an excellent test. I'll probably give bambuser a good run again as well - i have a few clips and screencasts to get recorded tomorrow.
The room currently is very boomy. it's not a massive space but it is big enough for a web streaming studio and i already have a floorplan layout of how i want it to look. I'm thinking the layout will be very much like a 'drop in' appointment based setup where you can book blocks of time. I want to offer half-day, full-day sessions but also a lunchtime section for people wanting to drop in and do really quick web clips. Another side to the web streaming offering is maybe to do similar training sessions for utilising social media for distribution of content.
Once i have the test videos up from the test i'll bolt them onto this blog entry tomorrow. Working on the posterous theme for the streaming studio as well tomorrow, as well as a stack of screencast videos. Busy one then! :)
Gotta keep busy.
*btw* anyone that has a hookup in nottingham for egg boxes for sound proofing please hook me up - either that or some kind of a/v company in the nottingham area that has some of noise reduction material normally used in cars knocking about, maybe old stuff or just rolls of sound deading material knocking about drop me an email.
