Title: Birthday Bash Live stream
Post by: nikharwood on 14 July 2012, 08:58:52 AM
Just thought it would be useful to have the link to the stream in an easy-to-find place  :)

Fingers crossed it works...

Good idea Nick, it was 'well' buried.

*cold shudder* memories of the Ice Station Zebra drinking game  :-X

The live stream is a bit like a silhouette show! Not sure what's going on with the camera or lights?

Anyway I'm sure you're all having a great time - me, I've spent the last two hours sorting out a passport application - not helped by the photo booth at the station that takes photos the wrong size  >:( And the rather large queue in the Post Office of other people doing their passport applications - generally quite badly it would seem by the number that were being turned away to have another go - especially an older couple who couldn't seem to get the hand of signing inside the box...

Apologies for the trouble with the live feed though, we couldn't get it working on the tablet, so we had to make an emergency run to Maplins for a wireless webcam.  That one worked, but it was a nightmare to get positioned properly, and then we had trouble with the lighting as well.  I think if we were to try this again, we'd look at getting a few more camera's and doing some kind of multi-feed streaming so that there's more going on.

Even with the technical difficulties it was great to be able to see some of the gaming, thanks for taking the trouble to set it up.

Of course multiple cameras at the 'next event' sound cool 8)

Cheers,

Kev

Cut the babble, Leon - we want to know whether Spalding held out at Rorke's Drift or not. Did Keefe survive? Why was the kraal deserted halfway through the first Zulu attack? These are important things for yesterday's couch potatoes.  :-\

Seriously, a multicamera approach and multistreaming for next time sounds good. Throw in some dancers, too.  :P
