Dear All, Interesting idea, especially in view of my experience and plans! My perception of the Marysville experience was that people were remarkably comfortable with being filmed remarkably early in the experience. Of course there were two situations in which people were uncomfortable and of course I tagged those shots as unusable. Some comments, though, 1. Filming my way was deliberately a 'minimal impact' approach - ie one person, one camera, no other crew. If there were crews involved in getting the sound and shots to meet broadcast standards for live or semi-live T, I would expect the psychological imapct to be significant. 2. There may be no easy way to ensure that sensitive material is not broadcast. Indeed that's one of the strengths of live TV - you get to it, warts and all. But that may be a serious inhibition for some people in an OS setting. 3. On the other hand, if it's done professionally and sensitively it would also make a fantastic archive. Just some thoughts...
