procuring video equipment for recording talks
Namaste We need video equipment for recording talks and workshops conducted at pydelhi meetups. Could someone here suggest what to buy and how much it would cost? Cheers -- Anuvrat Parashar <http://anuvrat.in> http://anuvrat.in

How important is the need for this, and what is the quality of recording that we are after? Also, where does this need stem from? Who has asked for this? Do we have a target audience in mind? Do we have statistics on how many people actually visit archives for past talks? Are we getting ahead of ourselves here in terms of mandating video recording? - I would submit that first we ask our speakers even in PyDelhi meetups for slides beforehand: No slides approved by the organising committee,no talk. Period. Put the slides up on something like slideshare.net, and only move to video after there is demonstrated interest there. - Is a random guy having some experience with a VCR enough, or are we after more professional quality: I cannot answer this as I have never yet seen it fit to sit through a video tutorial. Given Internet bandwidth restrictions in India, I also do not see who in in a possible target audience would actually benefit from this. IMHO, let's not jump into any kind of financial commitments (even given that these will be small) without understanding why we are doing this. And, should we agree that this is necessary, let's look for a sponsor for the equipment. Regards, Gora

Footages that has audio with mininal noise and running slides are visible. The slides are always hyperlinked with uploaded video, but it's much nicer have it in the running video.
Also, where does this need stem from? Who has asked for this?
Vinay and me had used our personal DSLR cameras and we even tried our cellphones for the recordings. My camera is dead now and Vinay doesn't have bandwidth to continue on a regular basis. The talks were/are made available at https://pydelhi.org/talks
Do we have a target audience in mind? Do we have statistics on how many people actually visit archives for past talks?
The target audience is all those who are not able to come the meetup and attend the talks live. It has the same target audience that recorded videos at PyCon have. Difference is we are doing 1 video per fortnight over a year, rather 20 in a couple of days. Provided the talks are getting recorded, the speakers tend to make an extra effort to present it nicely. The statistics are matter of our quality and commitment to the process. I believe a good quality talks will always find visitors.
Are we getting ahead of ourselves here in terms of mandating video recording?
Sort of yes and we have been enforcing it. [but not too tightly]. The process of talk selection can be seen at https://github.com/pydelhi/talks/issues
- I would submit that first we ask our speakers even in PyDelhi meetups for slides beforehand: No slides approved by the organising committee,no talk. Period. Put the slides up on something like slideshare.net, and only move to video after there is demonstrated interest there.
Here is list of presentations along with other info about talk delivered - https://github.com/pydelhi/talks/blob/gh-pages/README.md. It's not a complete list primarily because the speaker didn't care to provide the material or the video was not been able to processed or of very quality.
- Is a random guy having some experience with a VCR enough, or are we after more professional quality: I cannot answer this as I have never yet seen it fit to sit through a video tutorial. Given Internet bandwidth restrictions in India, I also do not see who in in a possible target audience would actually benefit from this.
There is no need to have an expert do this. Provided the right equipments are present, in our case a camera with an external mic & tripod. The footage taken can be very easily post-processed by anyone via a script and uploaded to our YouTube channel. We had/have plans for live-streaming as well, but bandwidth availability on-site varies a lot and not always possible.
IMHO, let's not jump into any kind of financial commitments (even given that these will be small) without understanding why we are doing this. And, should we agree that this is necessary, let's look for a sponsor for the equipment.
+1 Thanks Gora for all the valuable questions and I hope I was able to make the context a bit clear to everyone. Cheers, -- Saurabh Kumar https://saurabh-kumar.com
Hi, For the record, while I remain unconvinced that video recording is immediately needed, there are enough arguments from the other side that I do not have a strong objection to it if key people in PyDelhi are convinced, and if there is a commitment to follow through on this. Have we fully thought this through? Where would the videos be hosted, and how would they be promoted? Regards, Gora
Have we fully thought this through? Where would the videos be hosted, and how would they be promoted?
They would be posted here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3Aq1JLV2oFalKqVksD9q71sY_ta9KZvI This is a Channel for all talks from Pydelhi meet ups, there is a demand as people have been actively asking for it. How we would promote it? With normal posts on mailing lists and social media posts.

Sorry to jump in late here. Iam also not of opinion on spending money on recording and streaming. If at all this is required, we can pair up DSLR with Laptop running "Open Broadcaster Software" https://obsproject.com This works very well with Youtube Live Streaming. This can merge multiple inputs including the presentation on the fly. For me it has always worked well. Regards, Harris On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 10:32 AM, Tarun Lalwani <tarunlalwani@gmail.com> wrote:

The Idea was not to by specialized hardware but cheap hardware that works, something like a dslr along with wireless mic. We can get good enough dslrs starting from 20,000-25,000 The whole reason was to keep hardware that belongs to the community instead of having to depend on individuals who may or may not be present at a given event. This hardware would be kept with a person that comes to most meet ups like Anuvrat who would ensure that the piece is made available at the meet even if they themselves are not. The reason for video recording is simple, to force the quality to be better by making things public. This is not the only means of ensuring quality and quality is not the only reason for having video recording. Video recordings are an insight to what we do for future community members. It's as important to advertise the good you do as it is to do the good. Otherwise all the efforts you have done till now will be lost and it will be as if nothing has happened. I am for recording the talks. We still get to decide which ones are good enough to be put up. So we can control quality. On Wed, Mar 30, 2016 at 8:22 PM, Harris <harrisjnu@gmail.com> wrote:

PyDelhi itself is at a cusp now either we keep doing what we did and slowly fade away or we do more... We try harder and not be afraid of failing... We have to try things like this not cause without them things are good enough, but cause without trying these things we will not grow. I would like the community to grow with leaps and bounds, I would like to try and then fail least that way we don't regret things and later on say... you know maybe if we did this.

The survey is very misleading. You are suggesting as if the community can't grow without the video equipment, as if it is the only blocker right now. If you think it'll improve the community, why don't you try it out with a simple camera and see if that really works? First of all, who are the expected audience of the recorded video and how'll it benefit the community? The number of views of recorded videos of even PyCon India are very disappointing. Each video has about 200-400 page views. Recorded videos of bangpypers are not any better. Just for comparison, many of the US PyCon videos has page views ranging from 10K-90K. Buying and owning equipment has its own problems. Since the meetup happens once in a month, who will keep the camera rest of the time? Who owns it (PyDelhi is not a legal org)? What happens if the interest to take videos goes down? I suggest considering live streaming instead of recorded video if you are keen to improve the participation. Recorded video is really boring. live streaming will help members of the community to join the meetup without having to travel long distances. Again I would recommend to try it out with a simple camera or webcam first. Anand

+1, I would like to quote Noufal's input here. On 30/03/16 10:13 AM, Noufal Ibrahim wrote: [...]

Would that not be enough?
Going progressively screen recording + audio is a much better approach to go for. For audio, inbuilt mic doesn't work well so I would suggest we purchase a hands-free Bluetooth Mic. Next step, I would combine the screen-recording with a webcam input wherever possible. An external webcam would be a plus as it will allow the presenter to move across the stage. No DSLR is needed here. The screen capture including slides and audio [,and a webcam window] can be live streamed to YouTube, where broadcasting bandwidth is available, or stored for upload later. In terms of equipments, I feel at-least a hands-free mic should be purchased. Then try out the whole process of screen-capture, stream, upload, if all goes fine and smooth, only thing left would be adding a webcam feed which is not much of a pain and totally optional anyways. If anyone doesn't agree to the plan, please let know. -- Saurabh Kumar https://saurabh-kumar.com

The survey is very misleading. You are suggesting as if the community can't grow without the video equipment, as if it is the only blocker right now.
The survey indeed was misleading. Options should have been worded simply like 'Yes, should buy own recording equipment' and 'No, do not buy any equipment' On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 6:06 PM, Saurabh Kumar <thes.kumar@gmail.com> wrote:

Going progressively screen recording + audio is a much better approach to go for. For audio, inbuilt mic doesn't work well so I would suggest we purchase a hands-free Bluetooth Mic.
Next step, I would combine the screen-recording with a webcam input wherever possible. An external webcam would be a plus as it will allow the presenter to move across the stage. No DSLR is needed here.
+1. If the only objective of the videos is to make them available for people who couldn't attend the meetup, a screen feed + audio should be enough. Video recording doesn't seem to have any added advantages. -- Best Regards, Ankur Gupta https://in.linkedin.com/in/ankurgupta04 Contact no.:- +91-96438-44090, +91-90347-13090

If you want I could reword the question and redo the questionnaire. The voting is only on this thread done by people who are reading this thread. They should be aware of what is being talked about. Shows that people prefer to vote rather than argue as they value their time. Obviously those who argue here don't vote either as there are "2" votes for not buying out of 16 votes till now. There comes a point where you can argue however much you want but majority opinion is majority opinion that's why the vote. On Fri, Apr 1, 2016 at 9:39 PM, Gora Mohanty <gora@mimirtech.com> wrote:

Hi, I do not think that this is needed: Not every executive decision needs to be voted upon, and it is fine if the core committee goes ahead, and makes a decision after a discussion. I would urge the decision-makers to keep in mind the suggestions of various people, primarily the ones about first trying out lower-cost solutions. Regards, Gora

We are setting a example for future community members too. You have only two options, either go backwards or go forward.

This hardware would be kept with a person that comes to most meet ups like Anuvrat who would ensure that the piece is made available at the meet even if they themselves are not.
The reason for video recording is simple, to force the quality to be better by making things public.

Video recordings are an insight to what we do for future community members.
It's as important to advertise the good you do as it is to do the good.
Otherwise all the efforts you have done till now will be lost and it will be as if nothing has happened.
I am for recording the talks. We still get to decide which ones are good enough to be put up. So we can control quality.
