Are you watching this space?

The LBtv group met last night. It was the first time we had met since the live show and everyone still seemed to think it was a good idea to continue and make another show!

Now we have finally produced a show it makes the meeting much easier. Rather than discussing what we could do and how it will work we were able to get down to the important things like content and a date for show 2.

Show 2 will go out live on Wednesday 7th April at 8pm.

The entire group had ideas and suggestions on how we can improve the show which means you guys, the viewers, are in for a real treat! One of the suggested ideas was to reduce then length of the videos and have a bit more ‘live’

We came up with around 14 suggested items for the show so we are now frantically working on those and making preparations. We will be making a video in Saturday at the Market Cross, our interactive presenter Hannah will be performing so if you are about, pop over and say hi! The event is part of the fantastic Oxjam.

Until we have insurance we are going to have to keep live content and the adventurous creation of videos/content to minimum to reduce risk. We are working on an editorial policy which is part of the requirements for getting liability insurance – All quite boring very necessary!

The group also decided that we are going to use the skills amongst us to help each other. We are going to get together soon and hold workshops on filming/using a camera, editing and web design. These skills are really useful and it is great we are able to share them with each other. The next plan is to hold a workshop and invite anyone to attend. Another opportunity for me to use the following phrase on this blog again: Watch This Space....is becoming a bit of a catchphrase!

I have finally edited the show using the back-up tapes. It seems to have taken forever! I now need to find a site that will host the video and allow us to embed it on our site. YouTube is the obvious answer but the show is around 45+ minutes, YouTube only allows a maximum of 10 minutes. I tried a site called MegaUpload.com but there are loads of restriction there too...I will look more closely to see if it could work. Watch this space ;-)
