Hi Everyone -
I am assembling a camera bag and will ship tomorrow to David Mugo (since he
is in Chicago until Monday).
Since I have a background in location sound recording, I want the chapter
to record the best audio possible along with the best video possible --
therefore I will be including a delicate microphone of my own, so please be
careful with it! ( I know you will ).
Tomorrow i'll be writing up a list of guidelines and things --
I will keep everyone posted!
Victor

Hello Wikimedia Kenya,
So a week ago at Wikimania, my team's goal was to interview as many
Wikipedians as possible on video, and I can't believe it but we actually
did it. We recorded around 100 on-camera interviews from editors from all
over the world. Now we have to begin the post-production process. (It was
good to meet a few of you in person too).
I regret to say that since Wikimania, AGAIN my priorities have to shift
from coming to Kenya -- to editing this video. There is a lot of footage to
go through and only so much time to get it done correctly if it is going to
play by the fundraiser.
That said, I feel I owe the Kenyan chapter some kind of a favor for all
your patience. What I have is a Canon XA-10 professional
camcorder<
http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/consumer/products/camcorders/professional_cam…
that
I won't be using while I'm
editing the Wikimania interview footage. I
could loan it to the chapter for some time and let you decide how best to
use it. It's a very compact, high-quality camera that is very easy to learn
to use. It records on high-speed SD cards and can record for hours and
hours at a time. I would be happy to help with any questions you may have
about operating it or editing / manipulating footage from it. Please let me
know if the chapter could use a camera like this for some time, and I will
ship it immediately.
I'd like to thank you for all your patience with me, I don't want to
promise anything I can't deliver on - but I can say that I want to talk to
all of you and hope I can be of service soon. Also if there is anything
else I can do while I'm editing footage, please let me know.
