Qik Videos live from the bus

I (thanks to loan of an N95 from Stef) posted (nay streamed) live video from the bus through the day via Qik. It comes across as a series of outtakes from “Charlie Borman moans in the Desert” or whatever the programme is called where he talks breathlessly to camera and rides a motorbike. Luckily they’re archived, so here they are again:

    [...] I was really surprised with the video blogging, as it’s something I’ve always been sceptical of. I think more down to most video blogs’ lack of content that then technology. It was a really good way to quickly update anyone following (announcements of new video sessions were pushed to twitter) and when there were other people to talk to it was great to be able to quickly widen the sources of information. The quality (over 3G from an N95 mobile) was good enough, the problem came for me of deciding what to show on camera. The N95 has two cameras, one facing the screen one away, but you can’t cut between them in a single stream. This left me offering viewers a choice — my face and no scenery, or scenery and a disembodied voice. I partially solved this by quickly panning by hand from me to the surroundings, but a way to mix both (picture-in-picture style) would be good. If you should want to watch them they’re collected here. [...]
