New Video Series Launches! - Page 2 - MacInsiders - Student-run McMaster University Help Forum

I really enjoyed watching the video (mostly b/c I knew everyone in it, being a 4th year SOCS rep myself). My only recommendations for the future would be:

1) Have a scipt nearby that could be read at each "cut or break" would be good, b/c I thought that there was some key information that was skipped b/c Scott was just "winging it"... don't get me wrong he did a much better job than most people could but things like, wearing a costume for Halloween for hunger or mentioning that SOCS also has intramural teams would have been good and easily thought of to write in que notes.

2) The video kept freezing or "buffering" as it said on the screen and it took me about 1/2 hour to watch the whole thing. My computer is not the greatest but it is not the worst either... if there would be some way to get around that, it would much more appreciated b/c I know that if it weren't for wanting to see what my friends were going to say I would have gotten too frustrated with the pauses and quit watching.

I hope this feedback was helpful... you guys are doing a great thing.

I also get the buffer sometimes... it happens about every minute

Thanks for the feedback Kelly! We make sure to tell each interviewee that we're coming, and what the date will be when we're in so that they can prepare. Scott wasn't exactly prepared, but it is expected since he didn't have anything to base the interview on since it was our very first one. As you said, he did a great job winging it lol

Now that club execs have seen an interview, they may be able to get some question answers ready for us

As for the video glitches... we'll see what we can do to stop that. Maybe upload it to a few alternative hosts. Right now our video host is quite decent, but I agree that they do have times during the day when they get choppy. It all depends on when you watch it and if their server is busy or not.

We'll try upload it to Youtube and/or Google Video as well.

I can't find the link to the video? Can you give me a direct URL?

Click the NEWS button at the top of the site, and you will see a box on the right that has a WATCH button.

When is the next episode scheduled to be released?

**Chad** · 11-05-2006 at 08:24 PM

It's being released in about 1 hour.... tonight!!!

This is a LONG episode... it was over 2 HOURS of raw footage I had to edit. Lots of work! We interviewed 3 groups... and each were amazing. So get ready

We are currently having issues with our video provider (a new one)... and their server is down to host our brand new Flash video player...

But in the meantime, you can access our second CampusBuzz episode by viewing it in 3 parts in Windows Media Player.. just visit the NEWS section and you'll see the 3 files linked on the right side!

Tell us what you think!

We interview: MSU, SRA, and QUARTERS! Plus there is a new section 'Vlad's Movie Minute'

We want your feedback!
