Tech Issues


Landscape-Portrait has been running in Bournemouth now for a couple of weeks, with Steve, Diane and Helen having managed to capture a dozen good interviews. There have been some issues around IT. These usually consist of people not being able to record their video portrait, or view other video portraits. The IT issue is quite divisive, for while the system is working fine, if users encounter a problem they abandon. This is further complicated when we are relying on IT kit in local Libraries. Helen after much deliberation has given up on using the Libraries PC's as the IT dept cannot set up the computers to work with the website. This is a major blow, as it means we have to record all of the portraits onto tape and then edit, encode and upload them.


Today we are going to Townsend Children's center fun day, are we are taking the Media Bus . This new bus is equipped with lots of kit and hopefully a viable internet connection, i really want to record some of the portraits online, in order to build a greater cross section of responses. Just looked out the window and thankfully it's stopped raining.
