More Video Experiments in Louisville
I realize that even small children are now shooting video, editing it, and posting it online. But I still like to show off some of our video experiments. I’ve talked about some of what we’ve been doing on Louisville’s NPR News Station, but we’re trying a few things on our Triple A and classical stations.
Here’s a sample from our in-studio “Live Lunch” program on WFPK Radio Louisville. The setup is simple - a couple of cameras, with audio piped in from the control room mix. (And, yes, by the way, we’re using two Flip cameras for this.) My personal preference isn’t for a lot of these “slow fade” transitions, but we’re having a good time trying some of this stuff out, and trying to provide a more meaningful experience for the vast majority of our audience not in the studio for the live performance.
We can’t offer long-form video of these concerts without incurring additional rights expenses, but several artists have granted permission for video streaming of one or more of their songs.
Over at Classical 90.5, we’ve tried to take advantage of occasional guest interviews, offering listeners the chance to be viewers.
We’re lucky to have a team of smart people at Louisville Public Media, who understand why this stuff is important, and are willing to learn how to do it.
