There will be 4 stages across 4 days of Prague DeFi and ethprague. From outside, they are two separate events. On the inside, they have strong common thread (same venues, same organising team, same pretalx, same video production team).
Each of the 4 stages to have its own livestream, and we don't press "Stop Streaming" until Sunday night. Use content from venue (see below) to fill any "dead" time.
Propose similar setup to last year: one staticam for full stage, one camera with operator for closeups.
Closeup camera should be located to not block people's paths.
Should be able to put these to the bjg screen: slides, staticam, closeup cam and master broadcast-signal.
Also should have low-down monitors with time and slides, for speaker cue.
2 handsfree mic(s) for speakers, stage manager to manage mic swapping with volunteer.
2 handheld mic(s) held by volunteers in audience to a) read questions from AMA from remote participants (see below), b) connect IRL audience to the AV (e.g. questions). Objective: to have at least 1 question from remote audience.
Main stage MC should have earpiece and handsfree mic.
1 clicker for slides.
1 staticam capturing full stage, speaker, and projector.
Set the lighting so that slides are very visible (as this is the visual priority), while also showing the human, and then it really can be this simple.
Livestream only the slides from screencap. This removes the need for a camera and optimises for the valuable content: slides and audio. Maybe can put a well-placed staticam as a picture-in-picture but this might not be mecessary.
2 handheld mics for each stage: 1 for speaker, 1 with a volunteer to give voice to IRL audience and to relay questions from AMA tool (see below).
HDMI cable for workshop facilitator to plug into (requires coordination via Camilla for comm's for speakers), and monitor showing that the connection has worked. Livestream what gets published to this HDMI cable. No need for camera (unless the facilitator wishes to add one of their own).
2 handsfree mic(s) for workshop facilitators, volunteers to manage mic swapping between workshops.
1 room mic for capturing general ambience and any questions.
Objective: to capture and share a sense of the mass of human energy from across the entire event. Must be careful to preserve privacy.
Can be used to "fill" time as required, e.g. between talks, or after talks have finished for the day.
Try to include energy from all venues including Vnitroblock.
2 (or more) staticams, positioned carefully around the venue(s), with narrow depth of field to focus on an objet d'art, non-human mascot or similar in the foregroumd (ideally something dynamic to give a sense of movement), but showing (heavily-blurred / anonymised) human energy in the background.
Bonus points if we can mount one outside and show trees and humans and sunlight and nature.
Room-mic (maybe auto-levelling) with each camera, to capture general ambience.
A band has been forming in recent years in the Ethereum community. Led by Justin (big brained cryptography guy) supported by Jakub (ethprague 2022/23 organising team helper), with other local musicians combining vocals, guitar, mandolin, accordion, violin etc.
Rehearsals will recommence 2 weeks before the event.
Their tech rider is here.
There will also be Yoga, Sound Healing
Content will be shared via a web3-native livestream publishing platform.
Live content (4K 30Mbps Video with synchronised 320kbps Stereo Audio)
will be published in 16x9 aspect ratio, as rtmp or SRT, to livepeer.studio's hosted API.
Published content will be recorded at source, as no guarantees can be made that content will be stored remotely.
The platform will be composed of a set of web3 primitives to provide an interactive user-centric experience combining media, communication and governance.
There will be 1 live video stream for each stage (see above), consisting of synchronised video and audio.
This stream can be play/paused, mute/unmute, and a rewound as far as the content is cached in the browser session. It will be embedded in the webpage, but will also be able to be made full screen, as well as being available as a pop-out player on mobile (@pabloVoorvaart please confirm).
Signing in will unlock interactive features. There will be no mention of money in the dApp.
There will be 1 live chat for each live video stream.
Remote participants will be able to view chat messages without signing in. They will be reqiured to sign in, in order to be able to post messages.
There will be a mechanism for submitting questions to be asked of the current speaker.
Questions will be curated by permissioned users, and popular submissions will be considered for incorporation into the content (see above).
