further developments at the web streaming studio.
Just a few photos of progress this morning. beta version of the layout so far.
The Web Streaming LaceMarket Studio Frame V1. Yay!
version 1 of the frame in the house.
In the style of the 'wizard of oz' - frames, curtains and fibre oh my!
So using the genius the idea of a gazebo (thanks @aquilatv) frame we put up a basic layout yesterday and @pcmcreative has been looking at the curtains drop for the frame today. we are hoping to get some kind of filming started next monday and have a round table chat about projects we are working on. will update on monday with a post and an embed and will update you with plenty of time to let you know the discussion topics.
exciting times.
bambuser and an interactive time trial assault course
you know i like to come up with 'random' ideas.
They call it an activity course. .. from Philip Campbell on Vimeo.
this one came to me while running around (i say running but really i was out of breath and exhausted) on the 'activity course' at conkers. i'm not sure if they have ever had time trials or anything like it at conkers but all i could think about would be how much fun it would be to live stream and document a group of people blasting around the trail as we stream it out on bambuser.
I'm thinking. . . - one person to carry mobility box (inet connectivity)- a person streaming from the nokia phone using bambuser
- fun timing of the time trial based on the length of the video stream posted
- leaderboard system
- twitter voting to vote up their favorite entry
- split screen time trials maybe later on - split screen view side by side
- custom rezpondr theme for bambuser Thinking that we should maybe test this at the next conkertu on the 27th of this month. If your up for it please drop me a message. i'm hoping to get some of the crowd that will be around the ampitheatre to take part on the day.
The Web Streaming Studio in Progress
It takes 10 minutes to get from nottingham station to lace market house and very soon those requiring live hq webstreaming services and web clips for their personal or business website will be able to book time in the web studio. we are just making the place nice and we have some test sample video up soon as we progress.

the weekly one day media masterplan
just had a really good morning over in nottingham at lace market house hotdesking with @pcmcreative. a few weeks back we discussed about the potential of utilizing space and fibre resources and today was the first step towards making thegravity and HD streaming from a location possible - today was initial testing. turns out my laptop doesn't have the horsepower required to make it stream with an acceptable framerate but the actual picture quality was fantastic.
with the fibre currently throttled back on a port by port basis and with the ability to 'jack it up' I have every faith that the feed is perfect for the show and general social media making and aggregration for me to take my ideas and concepts to the next level and explore live in depth. looking forward to my weekly trip over, need to find another sponsor for wirecast license, office space if I travel over more regular and some per show sponsors for rental of meeting rooms and such like. ... also need to flight case my future media making portable machine for broadcasting. expect this to happen quickly now I'm on it! ;) Sent from my iPhone .. .from a train towards home

setting up once/twice a week in nottingham hotdesking
quicklink to this post | http://su.pr/2SyW3s
I've got a good feeling about nottingham.
Ever since i started going over to see caron lyons (@pcmcreative) and working together on the social media for the public sector event plus recent interviews i have an affinity for listening to my karma and feel like it is the right decision. Quite strange really because while waiting for the train last week i noticed some flats right next to the train station that would be ideal once this house situation is sorted - funny how certain things fit into place. I'm looking at hotdesking from lacemarkethouse once or twice a week and have secured a great deal for my monthly wired connection there (read: superfast) So, i'll be obviously offering the usual social media services and help while i'm hotdesking and i'll make sure to alert people when 'i'm in the office' if you want to drop in and maybe get some guidance or training/help while i'm in nottingham - i'm hoping some of the local businesses will require this. At the very least i'm hoping to make some good connections with businesses already in the lace market house and see how we can work together. Some other benefits that might not be immediately obvious are the equipment and other services i can now offer with this hispeed connection and my macpro onsite. I've listed them below. firing back up 'thegravity' video showit's been a long time coming and i'm chomping at the bit to do the video version of 'thegravity' again - i switched last year to making 'audiogravity' over on audioboo as it is a faster way to get some content out but i do miss doing the live/offlive/interactive gravity video show. you can find some of the episodes of the prerecorded version over at thegravity.blip.tv - i'm bringing that back with a new posterous vibe and distribution to it. should be fairly easy to setup. potential for a livestream 24/7 radio show
i'm been playing with audio livestreaming for years, i started with SAM on a windows machine and recently started using a great mac application for sending out the audio to a remote shoutcast server which has some great tools embedded. i have the capacity to do a radio show, social show and even call in skype functionality - with a small budget we could get a really decent mixer and start to do some weekly live shows. i've also got a really smart jquery live notification add in for websites that appears when the stream is live - that notification system needs to be expanded on. Maybe a weekly social media audio show with local businesses and guests - live tweetup sixth second pitches with live interactive voting. all possible. maybe we take some of the local podcasters and do a live show with a roundtable discussion on topics that the twitter community fire over in realtime. realtime officestream and HD experimentation
i've been waiting to get my hands on a chunky connection for sometime to work on some experiments with HD, the 16:9 perspective and different streaming solutions - i already know a few companies that can handle a HD stream and it would be good to build a HD livecast solution. axis bonjour ultimate camera mashup
tried this already and it works. axis cameras have the ability to be connected to via bonjour - i have a great little application that allows switching to bonjour enabled cameras on the network. using this we could switch between rooms and actually have static cameras setup in different locations - great for tweetups - maybe we should look at doing a social media big brother 24/7 social project onsite 'get your idea/business online for free in a weekend' sessions. got some ideas for art projects and using the bonjour cameras could be a good way to switch into businesses in the lacemarket house for updates from different companies of what is happening that week without them having to leave the office! greenscreen resource + boinxtv + livestreaming - realtime production
if i'm going to permanently have my macpro onsite (no way i can keep lugging it over - it's darn heavy) then i might as well have my greenscreen, canon hv20 1080i camera, hdmi to intensity blackmagic card and twin daylight 5300k lights over with me. this means i can offer a service for potential clients to have your virtual character on your website - those ones you see where a character walks on or appears on a transparent background etc - we can do all that. I expect to be onsite and up and running at the lace market house within the next few weeks. follow me on twitter for updates - i guess i should make a public google calendar for when i'm onsite. I'm hoping that if things go well i might require to be over in nottingham more often. exciting.
