Tomorrow is a crucial meeting with staff regarding auditorium upgrades. I spent several hours improving my presentation, and also learning about our own auditorium. I had been thinking we needed a camera controller that supported pre-set shots (camera pan tilt zoom settings to frame particular parts of the stage) but Bert pointed out — we already have one. The box that we (I anyway) have been using as a simple joystick control to aim and zoom the camera, is in fact a full controller capable of managing up to 5 cameras and storing up to 100 presets. Realizing this greatly shortened the list of wants; all we really need is one more camera, and to have two cameras properly mounted and wired.
I spent an hour with Dr. Margaret reviewing her video of her Tanzanian safari. She has some great video and her presentation will be a hit. That’s still more than a week away.
The evening menu looked boring so I walked myself to Peninsula Creamery for a grilled cheese sandwich and a chocolate shake, the first in a long time.
