ConvergeSouth Video Walking Tour
New to ConvergeSouth 2008
The Video Walking Tour is a new ConvergeSouth 2008 event. We know Greensboro is an awesome city and that you've only just arrived. We want you to know that our citizens know that you should know that Greensboro is awesome. Music, culture, history - Greensboro's got more of it than you think.
In order for you to find out more about this wonderful city, we've commandeered two unmarked vans that will take 30 lucky video bloggers to two different Greensboro locations - that's 15 in each van, we know you aren't circus clowns. Each group will be required to capture the essence of the Greensboro community in a 5 minute video but will shoot hours of footage that will be your own personal B-roll collection.
Then they will return to an top-secret, undisclosed location (a.k.a we just don't know where yet, want to donate a space?) in order to learn how to edit your own video and then produce a ConvergeSouth Citizen Video to post online.
Entries will be judged and critiqued by everyone, and possibly ridiculed or vaunted by bloggers worldwide. Participate at your own risk.
Requirements:
- You must have your own video camera
- You do not need video experience but must know how to operate your own camera
Cost: Free, thanks to our Video Walking Tour sponsor, Carolinanet
Free Software (Tentative)
Bring your notebook computer! We have a vendor (TENTATIVE) who will give you a free fully-licensed copy of video-editing software to install on your personal computer. They are providing both PC and Mac versions. Join us with technical experts to learn how to use the software or use your own. [If you bring a desktop computer, you can have free software; however, you are responsible for schlepping the desktop with you or making a deal with the van driver for it. ConvergeSouth is not responsible for your hardware.]
Dinner Together
Plan for an afternoon with a unique ConvergeSouth experience. Leave time for dinner with your group anywhere in Greensboro (pay for your own dinner). We hope to be in an undisclosed location near downtown so you can choose from many fine restaurants.
Register SOON - limited to 30 participants
