My week – councils on camera and foodies on apps

Yes, it’s been another week where the right to film council meetings has dominated my blogging activity.

It’s time now to consider the different styles of filming that I could adopt. I’m thinking of mostly streaming live from start to finish with a back up recording in case of wi-fi issues.

However it ends up happening, it’s unlikely I’ll manage to get quite the drama and tension into the moment as this fine piece of work. Eat your heart out Tarantino! h/t West Hampstead Life for spotting that gem.

Updates this week (captured on the map below) included a video interview for InformationDaily.com, a successful vote at Richmondshire District and the launch of a Facebook campaign by Welsh campaigners looking for their administrations to adopt similar measures to England.

It’s tech start-up, it’s hyperlocal, it’s so-lo-mo, it’s food and it’s in the north.

The arrival of Zomato in Manchester proved to be a bit of a worlds collide dilemma for me on where exactly to blog about it.

I plumbed for the foodiesarah.com site in the end – read about that here.

    The advantage of using Bambuser for live streaming is that it saves all data as you are streaming then uploads it afterwards so you have a perfect archived copy of the video

    Yes, that was my first thought, especially after seeing your live streams from events etc. I am slightly wary of relying on it totally given the council isn’t committing to providing wi-fi so will probably get some sort of back up option too.
