ReRun: Council Meeting - April 23rd 2007

Recently a reader contacted me about having trouble viewing the April 23rd meeting on the City website. "Charter's" video camera went down at that meeting, so it could not be aired on public access channel 18 that following Thursday. I provided our video to the City as a gesture of good will after trying to provide it to Charter, who said they could not use it. I discussed the issue in this post.

Our original article covering the April 23rd, 2007 meeting can be found here.

To help this reader out, as well as anyone else who might have had a similar problem, I'm presenting the video here though it is still available on the City of Overland website. The video is a bit "clippy" because I was manually clipping segments as I didn't originally intend on posting the meeting in it's entirety.

Here's that video:

Since this was not the first time we've had problems with "Charter's" camera I'm considering shooting future meetings from a static position (something Charter requires) without any manual clipping (accept where the camera does it on its own at 2 gig increments due to it being formatted in FAT32). Doing this would give me a better chance of being able to provide video to Charter should there be technical issues in the future. The downside is the lack of "closeups" and the like. What are your thoughts on this? What do you prefer?
