HardDrive Camcorder
Hmm. Wondering about whether it would be productive to have a video camcorder inhouse for shooting various gigs around the ZCoB? Could be used for facilitator training, huddles, staff meetings, events, classes… Maybe. Most likely scenario would be taking it to a video format like a podcast rather than studio quality. Questions to answer: is there a potential demand, who would provide time doing the shooting, who would do the studio/editing work, what would be the best equipmnet for this purpose? Last first…
HD Camcorder looks like the way to go. MPEG-2. 7 hours of room at highest quality. No tapes, no mess.

This is two complementary ideas meeting. I’ve been thinking of videoing my tastings and releasing them as mpegs onto arborupdate.com or releasing them as podcasts. I would have a use for it. And I’ll bet every five people who watch would generate one or two more guaranteed spots at a future tasting. The end of the podcast could even have future tastings and contact information.

I think this would be an incredible tool for recording roleplays of the top service situations that Service Central gets questions about: pricing complaints, juggling the phones when you have guests in front of you, a ZXI tutorial…

This could really expand our options for improving website. “Notes from your local cheesemaker” could show an actual demonstration of cheesemaking. M&G has been discussing the idea of buying a nice digital camera and taking on more of the photography we outsource to freelancers. We could add video-editing to that part of next year’s ZAP as well.
