Rich Media, Affordable Tools

posted by Gagnier on March 15th

REALPOLITECH works with two key technologies that enable our productions, making them personal, unique, and dynamic: the combination of affordable citizen-generated media capture and live streaming.

The use of Flip Video cams allows our team and our clients to collect quick, no-need-to-edit video clips, that easily be shared on websites, Facebook, or through YouTube. The “FlipCam” is a small camera equipped with a flash drive that allows users to conduct interviews and record footage for up to 60 minutes. The FlipCam is an affordable technology (Retail: $129).

UStream.tv recently launched a new mobile platform a week ago. Now, users of the IPhone 3G and the Nokia N95 can use the Ustream.tv platform and stream anywhere from a cellphone. This makes the platform instantly accessible wherever users find themselves. This feature will really open up the spectrum of UStream users and allows more versatility from this already free platform.
