KCRW @ SXSW 2009

For this years SXSW music conference I managed both web-cast for Morning Becomes Eclectic remotely. We had PJ Harvey and John Parish at SXSW and Peter, Bjorn and John at SXSW. For this I put together a simple one camera set-up with encoder, which we sent to Austin and streamed live from Tequilla Mocking Bird Studios. Also for the conference we built a custom page KCRW at SXSW 2009, designed by my colleague, Nathan Lubeck. The site included interactive slideshows posted via cell phone using Flickr, and live video and instantly posted video clips using Nokia N95 and an interactive video site, Kyte TV. For this project I managed the audio video content and sent out the producers/DJs with the phones we set-up. I also shot a few pre-SXSW videos at the station. The quality is very respectable considering the size of the phone and the immediacy of the upload. The audio/video isn’t great, but it is a great resource for capturing live content on the fly with upload and live capabilities. The live video takes only seconds to connect and be streaming live video to the web and the to upload content can take anywhere from seconds to a few minutes depending on the length of the video and the connection to the network. I shot a bunch of pre-SXSW videos/interviews at KCRW, my favorite being Chris Pierce:

We started experimenting with the technology last year as part of our of one of the bi-annual drives. It was a 24 hour web-cast that gave listeners a chance to voice and share their thoughts of the station with video. We called it “Speak Easy”, with an open mike style. Check it out:
