I t just seems to be turning out this way. The meeting between 12 and 2 on Saturday has a sequence to fit with other events. The senior management, minds of the firm, call them what you like, they have another event - a regional conference, till 4. The StandUp Philosopher is part of a storytelling workshop at opening and closing so has chosen to talk on Education at 2. So the first two hours are for a look at available camera / broadcast tech and a discussion about how creatives share what they do. My guess is now that the tech around cameras will just be assumed. Creatives seem to be used to what social media has on offer. Maybe no limits will be obvious.
StandUp Philosopher probably concentrating on maths exams this time but will include a balance on action and critique, my guess. Many examples anyway of video from Widseth and Deor performance so there is some basis for this.
Any talk about a business model will be at the end when the regional conference is over. Probably production budgets will be limited so tech options need study then. To be continued later, maybe at Seale Hayne or Tech Exeter or online.
Previously I had thought about the sequence as related to a walk along Spine on Lancaster campus. Start with tech at InfoLab 21, critique as business plan at management school, observe in public space near library and bookshop. Then study as art / social science. The Standup Philosopher would be somewhere far along by now, such as where the Time Making Garden was once. Now another sort of garden but maybe better as a small theatre. Could be settled planting by next summer. Meanwhile will green screen in Exeter.
So if you are following online or from Lancaster, suggest trying the walk in reverse order. May fit better with #mtwr . There will be a tweet version, maybe some stills. Video may wait on editing , not sure.
Could be sensible anyway, even going back to original direction is an option.

Photography. Image Rights, examples #PhonicFM Another Spring #visiblegirls
This is an expanded tweet rally, and to link several graphics.
Just uploaded tweets of the captions for photos of Phonic FM presenters. Show in corridor at back of bar in Phoenix Exeter. Last week we did a quick report by phone on the Wild Show. Chris Norton surely is allowed to be in a video with his image in background? But I am still not sure about doing video interviews with art in view in a gallery. Not as well accepted as video of music performance, at least so far.
So we need an update on the video interviews in front of the photos and comment on what is though to be allowed.
Still on topic more or less, main question for creatives on June 9th will be what they think about how work is shared, sampling free download etc as a convention and as promotion. What is a radio presenter supposed to do? and / or social media collage messing about?
There was not time enough to arrange an interview with Jean Wainwright but I did take some stills. see previous posts, probably more links later.
I have noticed some of the images from Another Spring turn upin tweets. Will try to find these again.
Previously I visited Visible Girls, photos of music fans with updates, with my friend JD. We added some record sleeve images to the teenage bedroom and also were tempted to appropriate the hat. But later bought another one, so probably stayed within limits for gallery manners.

Pops Up Again - Centre For Bar Management, Performance and Camera Studies
This exists mostly as a Facebook group that is activated every so often. Graphics mostly from Seale Hayne as the most solid effort was around two Music and beer Festivals, sadly not continued. For about ten years it has been possible to do some sort of video with fairly cheap equipment if the performers do not mind and the audience can accept the production standards.
There is a case that the video may get enough views to promote the next event, the venue or the music. Could a venue be persuaded to invest in video? Could be just positions for a good line of sight. Or sound direct from the desk. this has happened on occasions but still quite variable. Exeter often relies on video from other locations.
Camera Studies because the technology keeps changing, often getting cheaper or more capable.
Jo Gedrych did some early tests with Exeter TV and some YouTube clips. He has made a study of local cable TV in the USA and is a Visiting Fellow for the Centre. However he now lives in the USA so rarely visits Exeter. He may have some ideas though.
Exeter City Council are thinking about a major venue. Camera positions could be part of the design. Even build some cameras into the ceiling with a remote control. When there is a budget for the building some cameras may seem a reasonable extra.
Meanwhile most likely that cheaper cameras will be the option. At BETT this year there was a version of Padcaster for mobile phones, a rig that connected to a tripod, lights etc. Known as a Verse but not in UK yet. Any clues welcome, online or on June 9th.

More On Discussion For Creatives - How We Share Our Work
See previous post following my talk with Anna Marie Waite, bit more shape to the event.
This topic ( 1 pm ) to concentrate on situation of creatives in changing circumstances. ( Includes presenters and video makers etc but starts with singer songwriter).
Previously Anna has been a presenter on Phonic FM and helped to organise Wonderful Women Sing, a Phonic benefit in the Voodoo Lounge. This was an occasion I worked with Chris Norton and Jon Mahy on some video that became a playlist.
The performers were happy for this to be uploaded in full. But what to think? Is this normal? Opinions vary and also it is not obvious how to improve production values without some income. ( May be going back to management issues here, will stay on how creatives think about this sort of thing.
When promotion was mostly through FM it was ok for radio to play some tracks. Now all content may be available free in some form.
Previously my video of Spin 2 in Sidmouth. They will be in the Voodoo Lounge about the same time as this discussion but do drop by later, it may be on repeat.

continues next post on the PopUp Centre for Bar Management, Performance and Camera Studies.
Outline Update, even easier to drop in and drop out
Timing and issues more clear, study this post and it will be much easier to join this pace or leave it and still have a rough idea where the discussion is at.
Anna Marie Waite has suggested the name and reference to Management may not interest some people so suggests topic at 1pm
Discussion for Creatives - How We Share Our Work
Covers ways songs and performance are promoted and streamed or sold. What is happening now and how to influence this. I relate this to ideas about Creative Commons and also Content Marketing. More on this in next post.
Between 12 and 1 an intro and look at cameras / ways to record and broadcast online. Some prerecorded video / sound but try for new content. Links online to the PopUp Centre for Bar Management, Performance and Camera Studies. Not sure how much of the discussion with Creatives will be recorded / broadcast.
2pm Standup Philosopher Talks Education , basis for further study.
4pm onwards Joined by people from Regional Community Radio event, possibly including news from OFCOM.
Questions and answers may just stay the same. What happens to radio if FM is ended. Do creatives welcome social media? Discussion can start online any time soon, no need to wait for Saturday.
Maybe FM radio just continues and OFCOM has no comment. But do check blog after Saturday or drop in during the day.

PS "management" still part of the discussion, what sort of structure supports whatever approach the creatives seem to want?

Another Spring - Copyrights as Arts Centre Moves Online
Saturday I did some stills of a Curator Tour by Dr Jean Wainwright, part of Another Spring, current show at the Phoenix Exeter and still there during the Phonic Takeover on June 9th. They are now on Flickr in a set.
I had hoped to do some video. There are usually less than 50 people at these talks so some sort of record could help others who attend later or may not know about the show. Online video works for music but less for theatre and visuals.
Chris Dercon keynote for a MOOC couple of years ago claimed that Arts Centres are to expand by moving online. This may not be quite true yet, still many signs of investment in buildings. But the changes could be various.
Recently I came across Virtually Connecting who arrange video conferencing from events. They arrange talks on the edge of official events. Some years ago this would not have happened so attitudes may be changing.
Another Spring covers by implication topics such as Trump and Brexit, popular themes in social media. Some art is made out of newspapers. So there is scope for related tweets etc, both visual and as comment on news. When Radio ! was in the Phoenix a couple of years ago there was discussion on how music formats changed to be online but less about news. Recently more clips appear online from TV and newspaper sites have some original video. So more about this in this blog later.

Mindfulness and Buddhist Action Month
I am trying to find out more about Buddhist Action Month and to work out how it can fit with the day on Management Theory at Work in Radio. Previously Anna Marie Waite was a guest on the Wild show when she spoke about mindfulness and work in radio and writing songs. At the second original conference in Lancaster Dr Bronwen Rees spoke of "alchemy" and there was time for a short meditation. Not sure how this would work at a music event withe several people dropping in and out.
But I have come across a website for Buddhist Action Month so this may fit in ok at least to start a discussion. There are too main themes, the difficulties around social media and the action that could be taken to explore "our society’s need for a positive collective narrative for the future". One tension is that there is a tag for Twitter - #BuddhistActionMonth - a Facebook page and several YouTube clips so whatever the distractions of social media turn out to be there is much for discussion.
