Roger Fisk, the former National Director of Special Events during president Barack Obama’s presidential campaign, was in
town for a full house seminar billed as "Obama Magic in KL."
He traced the historical campaign events that drew record crowds at many locations across the US. The Obama campaign also raised record funds from both traditional channels and notably, the Internet. Many of the local attendees (and journalists) were enamored with the new buzz words of social networking and new media.
I was happy to be able to catch up with four long-time friends who were also present at the talk in PJ Hilton. I sought their views on whether Obama's innovative campaign can be applied in Malaysia.
In the resulting video, MP Tony Pua explains the similarities and differences of the DAP campaign of the last elections. Maverick journalist Nadeswaran aka Citizen Nades (The Sun) is at his critical best while blogger Suanie gives her take from the perspective of a young voter who grew up in the Internet generation.
Harmandar Singh aka Ham (Sledgehammer Communications, publisher of ADOI & Marketing Magazine) shares his views as the organiser of the event.
Production Notes: The Panasonic LX-3 is a mighty little HD cam but it lacks an external microphone input. So how do I do justice to my articulate friends? The solution was to record sound from my trusty Shure SM 63L reporter microphone into a remote Olympus WS-321M digital voice recorder.
The audio tracks were then brought into Mixcraft and the levels optimised. No EQ was applied as the Shure's tonal range was near perfect. The audio was then exported to the NLE and sync up via waveform matching. Not for the faint-hearted but it works very well as you will see (hear). Big thanks to Location Sound Asia for the technical consultation.

Playback Help: Mycen Videos are mostly presented in high quality widescreen 16:9 standard-definition (SD) and high-definition (HD), both in hi-fi stereo. By default, the embedded player here loads a standard quality 360p or 480p resolution to accommodate users with slower connections. To switch to higher quality and clearer playback, select the 720p or 1080p option (if available) on the bottom right of the player after pressing play. The transition to HQ or HD may take a few seconds. If things get stuck, just reload the page and try again.
Playing HD or HQ requires a reasonably fast internet connection and reasonably competent hardware for smooth playback. Firstly, let the player's pink loading line fill completely. If the video is still jerky when you replay after that, try closing other programs on your computer to free up resources. Even then, heavy Internet traffic during peak hours might still slow down some connections. If all else fails, simply revert to normal quality playback by clicking on the same button again.
In order to watch HD smoothly, you ought to have a newer version of Adobe Flash plug-in installed on your browser. Go here to download the latest version if your browser is not doing it automatically. Enjoy! |
