Designer here. I'm Robin; I've started this project last June to record thoughts and perspective of old folks I meet. I live in Singapore which gives me access to pretty different profiles. It's easy to go abroad from here so I'm trying to meet people from different country. I do everything alone which makes the update not as regular as I wish. I'm trying to make people contribute now with videos of their own grand-parents that they would record with their smartphone. I'm considering enabling an upload feature.
Any feedback is welcome in terms of design, videography, or anything that could help me to improve the site, the videos, or make the "Your Videos" section more appealing.
Cheers,
Robin
- j45 12y agoHi Robin, I love this idea. Wish I could have a video like this from my grandfathers. One thing that leapt out to me was wondering what the questions were that kicked off the video -- if I wanted to make, could there be a list of questions that gets the topics and wisdom flowing? Also, if you're looking to implement direct upload, something like red5 would be able to give you the ability if you wanted to run it yourself, otherwise there's always youtube which everyone can use the app.
- ameego 12y agoThanks for your message. Generally, it all start with a casual conversation around the idea of transmitting a message to new generations. I feel that people are very encline to share when they're listened to. Once the valve is open, the flow does not stop :) John for instance kept talking for 45min without me asking any questions. You have a point though: people need to have references in terms of questions to be able to do interviews on their own. I will think about how to integrate this in the site. Thanks for the idea and for the red5, I will look into it. Robin
