For many of the talks, there was someone with a microphone running around the audience to capture the questions. Sorry your talk was overlooked. Can't fix yours after the fact, sadly, but let's hope to cover this in the future. On Tue, Jun 4, 2024 at 8:41 AM Crawford Griffith via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Jeff B., All,
Well, looks like my VCFE talk was one of the first posted… it can only get better from here folks! My first Youtube video, in fact.
I know the amount of effort that goes into recording and making these videos, so please do not take this as criticism. You folks do an awesome job. I only want to make things better if possible, and do a better job myself next time.
I encouraged questions and interactivity right upfront in my presentation, I think the audience enjoyed that and I certainly did! But there was no way a mike could be run to each person asking a question or making a comment. I was also not diligent enough to repeat the question so it got recorded. So, the questions were mostly inaudible, but I (mostly) remember them. But it left information gaps in the audio. How is this handled usually if at all? Could the questions be captioned? Could a directional mike be used to pick up audience comments? (I’m not looking to make more work for anyone but me!)
Anyway thanks to all who worked the talk production. And I will practice not saying ‘umm’ so much when I’m being recorded!
