Taking It To The Streets

Tonight’s radio broadcast was a breathless romp through brilliant hours of freeform online broadcasting.  Programs are starting to take shape with submissions coming in with sequence and program names within file names – ex: kickitover_01_lostinthesupermarket.mp3, kickitover_02_eattherich.mp3

Did you miss a show?  Well, this is no DVR, this is no iPod, you can’t skip tracks … it’s a Happening.

Never fear if you missed a program – schedules will emerge and shows will rotate – bringing a mix of freeform and thematic programming.  I was at work when Up On The Sun from @noiseprofessor hit the tubes and was cranking his show in my office, loving his program when I got a DM saying that he was going live from his mobile with Papaya Broadcaster.  He went live to radio after his show to say hello … voices of live and in yer Tubes … something I hope we hear a whole lot more of in the coming weeks.

Nocturne @ Night

I went out with Gabriel and Lydia Saturday night to take in Nocture @ Night – an event sponsored by the Nova Scotia Art Gallery. For the third year running, the free, volunteer-powered, community event celebrates the visual arts scene in Halifax.

I took a ton of video during the event with my mobile and patched it together roughly with the iMovie app – the little movie production studio in a pocket handles transitions, audio mixing, titles, captions, and a range of other video production features.   I spent little time crunching video, but features like these allow me to gather and share video clips easily and extends some of the ideas in this book to mobile video production.
