Request for a location for this "viral video" session at Lotusphere...
Category Lotusphere2008
OK, so this "viral video" thing might have some legs on it. Based on responses and a few side chats, there's a few people who would like to see if we can pull this off. I'll have the camera and scripts, I'm sure we'll have people with laptops and video editing software to take the footage and package it, and someone else has the distribution channels covered. :) Given a few actor/actresses, we might have something here!
What we're missing is a location to do the filming...
The plan right now is to do the filming party *somewhere* at 8:30 pm on Tuesday. Warren and I have to film a couple things for our Wednesday morning session, so we'd do the other videos at the same time. I'd like to let people know via this blog that they can show up at "location x" at that time if they want to watch, participate, harass, or help out in some way. This could mean we end up with 5 people or 25 people (who knows?)
Ideally, the room would have enough space for us to set up the camera and film against a plain backdrop or wall of some sort. We're not talking some elaborate background. Of the scripts we have to date, most of them would involve just two people. The multi-platform party script would have a few extras behind the Notes person just milling around, drinking, enjoying themselves, etc. Then if we had a bit of space for a couple of laptops for editors, we could offload the material from the camera, set them to work on editing, keep filming others if we need to, and then push them out to infinity... and beyond!
A hospitality suite that a vendor would use might work well. Trying to get one of the small meeting rooms used during the Lotusphere conference would be ideal, but they're likely all booked for other *real* uses this late in the game (I did make an informal query).
Keep in mind this is not an officiall7 sanctioned Lotusphere event that has gone through an intense planning and logical discussion. Think of it on par with the Swan Boat Races of last year... a fun concept, the idea of attendees, plenty of participation, and a lot of fun...
Any vendors, attendees with large rooms, or <fill in the blank> want to come to the rescue here?
Either respond to this post or send me an email at duffbert AT gmail.com.
