a chat with craig chettle from antenna
quicklinks facebook - http://me.dm/link/antenna
main site - http://www.antenna.uk.com I was lucky today that i managed to sit down with craig and talk briefly about all things antenna. as a creative hotspot for myself for connectivity i was keen to speak to craig about how they plan to develop antenna and alert him to the digital social footprint of people having conversations about antenna already and how time needs to be invested in that for feedback into this creative hub and how brand ambassadors (thanks for that @AlexiaL - good identification!)

in the social arena could help. i have put forward a bunch of suggestions and as one of the ambassadors i would like to try and cross the bridge and mediate into the hub what can be done in this engaging and 'always on' space.
excited to where this can go for nottingham. i personally think antenna is a blueprint of what a creative digital meeting space can be and with all our input i think we could roll in a variety of services to make something wonderful in addition to the services we already enjoy in there. i have posted this on the fibrestudio facebook pages and also on the antenna page on facebook. i would love it if you would engage with me with your feedback - if you would rather it go through me anon we can do that as well. i just want to get comments and feedback aired and try to do a weekly/fortnightly catchup show to see how those areas are being responded to.if you are a member of antenna or perhaps you might be if something was fixed for you let me know and i'll make sure in the order of things it is mentioned.
look out for a twitterwall on the screens soon. we need to decide on a hashtag as well people for 'chatting' around antenna i guess as well - #antennauk maybe - your thoughts please.so antenna has a dolby 5.1 studio in the basement. ..
i thought they had just a little studio. i had no idea what is actually in the basement. epic kit - looking forward to exploring more in the coming weeks and months what happens down there and maybe do some video streaming shows from down there for 'thegravity' and our weekly pcmprojects catchup shows.
holy 3d render batman - @danielroseart renders the fibrestudio
wow.
if your looking for an amazing 3d render artist @danielroseart just sorta blew my mind a little with his render of the office we currently have. it's even true to size. obviously this is a draft of the studio and a few things in that shot will change but the placement is pretty good (apart from the box needs to come forward and be bigger) and it's really great to have this level of quality rendering for use on the website for it. some things to note.. - middle box stand will be bigger more towards end of the frame- loving that glass fibre studio graphic with 'seethru' no colour
- lights will be attached to the frame at the front
- camera(s) will be above the door frame on a ledge
- mac pro to the left of the door
- possibly mount axis bonjour camera at back need to thank dan for rapidly pulling together a logo - because we REALLY needed one.
PCMprojects digital postit 18.may.2010
another weekly catchup postit note stream out of the @lacemarkethouse fibre studio about social media happenings in and around nottingham with mention of two great websites, pixlr and reclaiming your privacy on facebook plus news about the social media in business event on friday in richmond that we will be attending.
booking a session in the webstreaming fibre studio
Just testing the embed and custom posterous tags so that i can add a button to my site for doing bookings for the webstreaming studio. will also update this blog post with the link to the new posterous site for the studio when complete.
the streaming studio now has a donated settee
So really chuffed to see everytime that i come into the studio changes and differences happening - really fills you with excitement for what it possible. I'm speaking with a few people to start putting some lists together for nonprofits in the area as well so we can capture some video interviews with them and give them some high quality video/audio content for their websites. I'll start to work on the website for booking services this coming week. i have a mockup but i think i need to revisit it to make it more fun and run it past a few people first.
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 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.

a web streaming studio has to start somewhere
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.
