#### Why did the video suck and how can it be improved? #### Why did the video suck and how can it be improved?
The main problem with the video quality was lighting. The ISO might have been set too high causing a grainy image with lots of noise. The proposed solution is to use a [3 point lighting](https://tubularinsights.com/three-point-lighting-technique/) technique to help lower the ISO and properly light the subject from different angles. I plan to buy the [Bi-Color LED Video Light Stand Lighting Kit 3 Pack](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K8G8CCR/?coliid=I15YYIZ0L6935R&colid=33LDRRB08T8TY). The main problem with the video quality was lighting. The ISO might have been set too high causing a grainy image with lots of noise. The proposed solution is to use a LED lighting to help lower the ISO and properly light the subject from different angles. I plan to rent a Promaster LED1000B Specialist LED 2 Light Transport Kit from [B&C Camera](https://store.bandccamera.com/pages/rentals).
Another problem with the video, was audio. To improve it, I will get a [Zoom H1n Handy Recorder](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078PTM82R/?coliid=I2F6CX4B8G2JWP&colid=33LDRRB08T8TY) to record the sound directly from the mixer. After Defcon, I'll import the audio and edit the videos with [Shotcut](https://shotcut.org). In post-production, I'm going to blur the faces of attendees if recorded by accident to protect their privacy. I will then upload the videos to Youtube. This work will be done on an unpaid basis.

In addition, I plan to set up a live video stream with [Elgato Cam Link 4K](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K3FN5MR/?coliid=I3V4ALDHDY46MO&colid=33LDRRB08T8TY) and [OBS](https://obsproject.com). The video link will be embedded directly in the [Monero village website](http://monerovillage.org). Stream will be broadcast in 720p/60 fps format and will connect to a [HDMI Switch](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GGT7SZD/?coliid=I3M2DJMM8AR4VC&colid=33LDRRB08T8TY) to have 3 feeds to switch from live (projector, [camcorder A](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07QJ7VPD4/?coliid=IX1PEBMAZGHIA&colid=33LDRRB08T8TY), camcorder B).

#### The PA system #### The PA system
Last year, we didn't have a PA system for the first few talks due to difficulties in coordinating with goons. Defcon can be hectic and it is hard getting in contact with the right people. They were able to eventually help us get one set up. It would be much better to have our own PA system set up before the talks. I suggest getting this [Rockville Package PA System](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQMQ53X/?coliid=I2KJ3EO3YN78UM&colid=33LDRRB08T8TY).
