Irina will make you smile: “B Roll is new the A Roll”
PodTech colleague Irina sent this my way, she’s probably annoyed with me and Robert for all of our low production live streaming hype. Irina really makes me laugh so hard sometimes, and this is one of those times, wait till you see her get out of bed, her grin while she’s riding her bike with the camera is the best. It looks like Scott Hirsch made the final ending sequence.
For the record, I was never “lifecasting” ok Irina? I was “Business Casting” that means that I’m more egotistical and have a tripod facing me and all the other folks!
Also, I’m very impressed with the updates on the PodTech player, we’ve a talented software engineering team, who is also pretty good at chess. Seems like Loren Feldman likes live streaming too.
Important Update:
Irina’s video is beyond just giggles, there’s a point she’s trying to make and I got the message. I’m seeing some chatter on New Tee Vee on the future of streaming, production and online video. Please note when I gave that quote it was in context to live streaming and real-time event sharing “business casting”. There will always be a need for high production edited content that last for a longer period of time. Frankly, I can’t imagine anyone wanting to go back and see the ustream content unless there’s something really compelling or interesting. For any of those high production folks that I may have offended, I offer my apology, I’m sorry. Ok, let’s move on and figure out how all these tools work together and when to use them.

It was interesting to note Irina’s point on how Journalists in the ‘traditional’ context have been keen to capture an insight into what happened during that dark day at Virgina Tech. Unfortunately, and there is no excuse for it, the very nature of their (journalist’s) hunger drives them chase for stories. This motivation is probably driven by the need of the industry to get newsprint, work with tight timescales and competition.
In the end, the content and truth shown will speak for itself.
In terms of how Web2.0 technologies and traditional sources of information will eventually converge? We need to be careful about what is a trusted source and the hope that content is validated to avoid anyone considering that destructive VC2 is a way to project themselves.
Finally, I wrote a piece at my Blog, inspired by a thought from another Blogger.
The reality of the loss is really brought home by viewing virtual footprints facilitiated by social media of the lost souls behind. http://www.drsavi.com/social-media-highlights-impact-of-lost-life/
