My university is a bit behind the times when it comes to recording lectures and seminars so I'm not getting much support on this as I had hoped for.
I co-convene my departments PhD seminars and have taken on the task of recording the presentations myself. I have sufficient approval to begin recording and figure out what to do with the videos later. My departments webmaster will take care of getting the files hosted once the logistics are figured out.
The schools main concern is with quality control and performance rights. Right now I can only record members of my university and I can't make the videos public (available to those outside of the university).
I have written consent forms and have received consent from presenters for next week and the week after.
I'm in the process of getting approval and will need to draft a proposal with as much detail as possible. Preferable with details of what is being done in other universities.
The issue is with how to make the videos publicly available without getting the university into legal trouble. I want them to be publicly available and the Information Management & Policy Services is resisting. If I can get approval from the head of my department and school their names will carry a lot of weight.
I've viewed the equipment I can get from my university today and while its a bit old it will work fine. I will have a Panasonic HC-V700 1080p (50p) 3D Ready 1MOS Sensor, a tripod and a sennheiser ew100 g2 lapel mic. From looking at record times recording 1h23m will fill the 16GB 45MB/s SD card that comes with the camera. Ive ordered a 32GB 90Mb/s memory card and usb3.0 card reader that will arrive tomorrow.
I will need to use some kind of software to compress the video into something significantly smaller. I will likely host the files in a closed system in the school and link to them on the department page. This will keep them private while not having them too hard to find.
It seems that this kind of thing hasn't really caught on yet in the UK as they are afraid of legal concerns with fair use and performance rights.
Does anyone have any advice for this project? It would be even more helpful if anyone that has worked on a similar project could get in touch with me so that I can get an idea of what is going on in other universities.
