I have an HD video camera that can record a little under 2 hrs due to the fact that I got it for free and it has limitations in the size card it can use for HD recording.
More along the documentation, I have several friends in photography that live in cola and I am trying to convince them to be part of this.
If we can get enough footage. I can get hard drives sent from NOLA to get our video professionally post produced if someone else can shoot HD video and hopefully with a better recording device than mine.

Anyone volunteering to help in this group should probably meet up at the initiation of Occupy Columbia on October 15th or try to coordinated a preliminary meeting to discuss various aspects of your duties before the start date.

I say this group should meet up before the 15th, with the technical group. We will need to discuss uploading on the spot and the video/photo formats that will be used. Sites like youtube and flickr require certain formats for uploading. Also, we will need to discuss what sort of mediums will be used, (SD cards, hi-8, midi DV, etc...), and steps that need to be taken for uploading using those mediums, and any other that we may encounter. Get to me about a time and date, we need to work this out soon!

What about power?? I cant help with obtaining a generator, but I can help with power taps if needed. If errecting tents and need lighting I can assist there as well. Depends on what is needed.
Did a permit go thru or are we hoping for the best?
Sorry cant go to meetings mid day. I work from 7am to around 5pm company vehicle all over town with only 30min lunch if I'm lucky.

Looks like to start we will be without a generator. since we will be requiring a permit to have one on site. I heard that the permits are being applied for but most likely will not be available for Saturdays occupation.

I heard that the permits are being applied for but most likely will not be available for Saturdays occupation. I would think there are outdoor receptacles, but w/o a permit we probably will have to be on the move at all times. no tables or sitting around with a laptop. not sure tho.........maybe one of the retail stores will allow us to charge batteries up, we could relay them back and forth. That is if anyone even has a separate charger. I have a DC to AC converter if we can get several car batteries and something like a "Red Wagon" to wheel them around on we would have mobile power!

Just something to think about... I doubt a shop would allow anyone to charge up an almost endless string of batteries. I mean, electricity isn't free. Same sort of thing applies to outside outlets. They probably exist on the State House grounds, but probably have to be turned on by a circuit breaker through some arrangement. Now, if any one can bring some DC/AC converters (small devices that you plug into a car's cig-lighter and provides an AC outlet - enough cars, and little converters, and there would be ways to charge things up.

This was something that we discussed at our meeting today with the Tech group. Only minor issue will be that they will not allow autos anywhere near the State House.
I do agree with sparky that a temporary fix would be a few car batteries that can be put in series with a power inverter. But this will only last for so long and then they will need to be recharged.
So I guess my question would have to be does anyone have some good working car batteries? And if we can get a few together Sparky can you make this work to setup a charging station? And what would be its limitations?
Also if someone from the legal group knows if this would even be allowed on State House grounds?
I suppose this would be a dead issue if its prohibited

Many many people will be there and many will have cameras. As new people come and go all the time and some live in the area and can recharge at home, it may or may not be a good idea to have a down load station. This would allow us to collect video from everyone on the street. I imagine we would get a lot of usable video. We could also look for people with nice equipment and invite them to download and or down load over the internet. We might look to the news outlets for footage as well, they may let us get their raw footage. From a documentary stand point, once you shoot the marching and initial protest action, things will slow. Once things slow it will be more cameo moments type shots. If someone has multiple camera batteries they could shoot for a few hours and serve as the anchor camera guy. We would have 5 or 6 people cover the opening shots, everyone will want to cover the march, then have some people cover the close of the march. The first 5 or 6 can down load and use any power they have left to shoot cameo moments. This should clean up the re-charge issue. We could divide our team and assign a couple of people to film the speakers and a couple more could film crowd response stuff. Once you have some crowd shots you can edit them into any other situation and it will look right, so you only need a couple of minutes from each person. The March is the same, once you have 15 or 20 minutes of marching you are done as the team is 5 or 6 people that is as much as 120 minutes of marchers. With proper staging 5 people or less with multiple batteries on 1 or 2, could film the entire thing on a single charge. The editing is what will make or break us.
