Could we please organise recording of the event!
Can anyone help - what of the tools below can people let us borrow?
At its most simplest it would
1. A general microphone plugged into a recording app on a phone .
Next would be
2. Dr Drexler on Lav Mic (Lavalier microphone) with its feed into a
phones recording app
And then adding
3. The audience on a hand held radio Mic with its feed into another
phones recording app
Video recording
4. Add a camera on a tripod - most modern stills/video camera could
handle that
5. have a camera that can shoot past 29mins 59secs (sometimes a firmware
hack)
Lighting
6. a couple of lights to provide a Key and Fill light on Dr Drexler
Notes
7. get a feed of any power points etc Dr Drexler uses
After that it gets more complex e.g.
A. A second video camera to get the audience take
B. Editing feeds
