I'd gladly go out-of-pocket for a rental versus paying the extra bag-check fees that the airlines would charge me to bring this along. I have located a rent-able green screen. It's 60 € (~$80) + taxes per 1-day use As far as I understood it's similar to this one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/soapcreative/2422246369/ ,which is, a standing foot with a horizontal bar and a *blue* curtain (important for the clothes) I will have to know which could be the recording date to ask for these resources at a certain date :) Apart from this, still looking for a stage and lighting Kind regards, Dani Baeyens -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

This seems like an attainable goal. The outcome could be something we end up using or we could merely learn from the experience and plan for filming at a later date. I am bringing a small, compact digital camera that can record 1080i video and an advanced stereo mic. Both could be affixed to tripods but for obvious logistical reasons, I don't want to try to bring those across the Atlantic. At the bare minimum, we need a tripod and boom pole or two tripods (one would be held like a boom). I can lend a tripod for this. I live quite near the place where the hackfest will take place, so that's easy :) It's not a professional one, an it has some years ;-) but probably it's better than nothing It would also be nice to have a well-lit, stage-like environment in which to film. It would also be nice to have a green screen (but I have one that I could bring if we can't find one locally). If anyone local knows whether you have these things or know of how we might arrange them, please let the list know. About the boom pole, and the green screen, I do not own any, but there is a public office which lends A/V stuff for associations. Maybe they have one, and I could ask in behalf of GNOME Hispano. If not, I know there is a company not quite far (1 or 2 miles) from the hackfest which rents a professional studio. I know that probably you want to minimize the costs, but anyway I can ask about some prices. They also rent technical people for lighting and all the rest Waiting for comments... but I will do some calls meanwhile Best regards, Dani Baeyens -- marketing-list mailing list marketing-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/marketing-list

If any of the organization can't provide the material for free, we can ask them if they can afford renting the material. If not, we can decide if GNOME can rent it.

I know that probably you want to minimize the costs, but anyway I can ask about some prices. They also rent technical people for lighting and all the rest Waiting for comments... but I will do some calls meanwhile This is just a partial report. I have called to the local public office which lends A/V supplies, and they have told me that this was too much for them, they have less resources (I had to ask, anyway :P). Also, I have called to the professional stage and they told me that they will send me a small quote. Nothing too accurate, just for a quick estimation of expenses. Then, I remembered that the City Council owns a good place where they can record audio albums but also video documentaries (mainly). I've called them and they could lend us the boom pole, but not the mic (anyway, as far as I've understood you, you will take it). Yes, I have a Sony D50 which I am bringing which has a traditional tripod mount so that should work excellently. They didn't have a green screen available, but gave me a phone number of a small company who owns one. Also, there is another place in the city where I will ask But, if possible (as mostly all the people is asking), could you tell me the required size of the green screen? Looking at the wiki, I estimate like 2x2 meter or something like that. Is it right? Do you think that it would be ok if it's smaller? Honestly, I'm not entirely sure since this is not something that I have tried before. My impression is that the larger, the better but 2x2M should be sufficient. The reason a larger screen is better is that one wants to try to avoid casting any shadows on the screen when standing in front of it. That generally means standing quite a bit in front of it. I'm going to go ahead and bring my green screen so don't worry about it. I am about to catch my plane to Madrid. Please do keep us posted on a stage/lighting situation, though!
