figure out recording of retreat

[chadwhitacre]

Last year we hired someone to record all of Saturday:

• Session 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dmwo28A5vd8
• Session 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILScnYBkkO4
• Session 3: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Lz6S7OmbGI
• Session 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7lz-oKv9bhI

It was uploaded after the fact.

I was kind of thinking we may just buy our own camera/mic this year. What parts do we want to record? Do we want to try to livestream, or upload after the fact again?

This is a bit hotter than expected due to #118.

As far as buying camera/mic, I have a couple of external webcams we could use. A good mic would be required for good sound quality though.

Some of the people attending the retreat would prefer to not be recorded but we can of course assist them :).

I have a microphone I can bring. For the sake of simplicity and the aforementioned preference not to be recorded, we could just record audio without video.

1. We lose body language without video, and body language is important.
2. Those who don't want to be videoed: are they okay with audio?

Well I'll bring my microphone. Doesn't sound like anyone has a good quality camera?

[colindean]

I've got a decent webcam that does HD. We could record on someone's smartphone, too, and get better quality than a webcam.

If we want to record for hours on end like last time, should we be dumping straight to a hard drive?

[seanlinsley]

@whit537 I'm not sure what your question is, exactly. I'm currently taking a look at https://www.obsproject.com/ which should let us stream & record.

@seanlinsley I was thinking about hardware. I don't have a clear picture of what we'd need. Maybe we can swing by BestBuy after I pick yinz up?

[chadwhitacre]

@clone1018 gave me the raw video and audio files. I'm going to sync them up and upload to YouTube.

I ended up making a new ticket for getting the videos on YouTube: #130.
