Home Studio with Live Streaming and Automated Switching |
I added a Hollyland 300 Pro which sends the HDMI output of my ATEM switcher around the room wirelessly. Downloadable apps allow it to be seen on phones and tablets.
For two person interviews, two cameras are locked off to capture close-ups of each subject. A third camera is programmed to move continuously on a slider, adding some much needed motion, while capturing a wider two-shot. Also added a few portable Aputure RGB lights. These allow me to easily change the background to any colour.
These are controlled by an app via a Bluetooth connection — making it easy to make subtle changes while looking at a monitor. |

Live Streaming |
Here's a glimpse at my live streaming set-up. I'm using BlackMagic Design's state-of-the-art ATEM Mini Pro. I also now have the capability to stream via a local internet connection, a wifi network, or even a cellular connection via my iPhone. So, although I have a somewhat permanent set-up in my "Home Studio", it's possible to be portable as well. See a sneak peek of "My Home Studio", here.

Moorelands Kids |
I worked at Moorelands Camp in the 80s. Last year I went up to help shoot a new video for the organization, now called Moorelands Kids, and finished the editing this spring. This version is designed specifically for fundraising purposes. A summer without being able to bring kids to camp in 2020 will likely make for a stressful 2021, as they hope to get back up to full speed. Think about supporting them. Donate here.
Perfectly good soundbites that didn't quite make it into the final video proved to have a lot of value when dropped into their social media mix. Moorelands Kids started running some of these "unedited" clips on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter a full year after they were shot. See a sneak peek of one of them, here.

Alamos Gold |
Working on a customer story about Alamos Gold Inc., and their daily use of Esri Canada's technology. Originally designed to be shown as a case study at user conferences throughout the country, it will now be used during webinars and posted on the web. More to come.

Work Truck Show |
Since 2009, I've produced videos promoting The Work Truck Show. Inevitably, useful content ended up on the cutting room floor. In this era of content hungry social media, longer, previously unused soundbites now become self contained videos of their own. Often becoming quite popular. An example, here. Easy to do if I'm already there.
