NorthEast Squeeze-In Videos

All videos are copyright Stewart Dean and Imago Vitae

See the camp video links below to find out what videos are available

While videos are (relatively) easy to take, producing a finished video and putting it online is a lot of work (beyond what I usually do, which is still photographs of the camps). Check the link for the videos for your camp below to find out where they are!

Also:

If you can't play the videos directly from the Flickr web page, it may be because you have a slow connection to the internet. Try downloading the video, using step "C" in the instructions here. Then play it after it's on your computer's hard drive.
If you have problems/issues/whatever with a video, please send me its ID name.

For Flickr videos: Each Flickr image/video has an ID name. Go to the instructions here.
The second paragraph under Step C1 tells you how to get this ID name. I must know this ID name in order to remove it or make you a copy or do anything for you with that image/video.
For YouTube videos, send me the URL web address.

These videos were taken of and for the Squeeze-In attendees without their express permission. These videos may be used by them, but are not for general or commercial use!
If you appear in a video and want it taken down, please contact imago@imagovitae.org

About videos....

I take high-quality 1080p HD video occasionally at NESI where it’s really necessary to capture the life & sound of a special time

Videos are easy to shoot, but a lot of work to edit/produce. Getting videos sent to you or burned on a DVD

This extra service is available for a fee, as follows

either through a Dropbox transfer ($15. each video transfer) or
a DVD sent USPS ($30) to campers and staff. You can have as many as 4 videos combined onto the DVD.

If you wish to get one of the longer videos through Dropbox, you will need a Dropbox.com account (available free at Dropbox.com)

Either way for the longer videos, send me an email with your request. Please include all necessary info:

the file name (starts with the last two numbers of the year, plus 2 letters for the camp, ex: 17UF for the 2017 Uke Fest, 16NW for 2016 Northern Week, etc) that appears under the picture/video when you click on just that image in the Flickr album,
your USPS address if requesting a DVD, etc

to sdean@sdean.net.

You can pay through PayPal by going to http://paypal.me/StewartDean or by sending me a check at:

These videos are the original files without any editing, cuts or processing, amounting to 300MB/minute in size (and time length). They were taken at 1080 HD (High Definition) and should play beautifully on your computer.

Getting yourself in a video...some advice

Here's some things you might think of:

Tell me if you want video...I will try to accommodate you...

If you're going to onstage (Campers' Night, Root Revue or the like), when you are setting up on stage, you realize that if you can’t see the camera lens atop the tripod, it can’t see you and you won’t show up in the video. Often you can move just a little bit and not have your face/self obscured by the mike stand, mike, another person. A little thing that just takes a moment’s consideration: can the camera see me?

Onstage songs/events that are short, 3 minutes or less, will be much more likely to video well and get posted to the Internet. Many social media won’t allow longer videos and even if they do, the processing of long videos is a bear. Think about keeping it short.

Video quality is much greater when shot off a tripod...which takes advance notice to me. Please.

Focusing the camera on fast-moving action or in low-light is a big problem in both still and video photography...here's how to dress to make it easier for the camera to focus on you.
