During Gustav, one of our Partners (Kevin Spidel) was able to quickly organize a real time reporting mechanism with our new media production network in the field directly from the Gulf Coast.
The goal was to harness technology available to BlueDynamic and capture live video reports from the ground into one embed player. This allows folks who know how to capture video on cell phones or other devices, but might not understand what to do with that media, to connect with Kevin and make use of their vantage point, in a viral way.
This is just an example of quick thinking and utilizing social media and technology to capture real time news that matters, directly from the source.
Below is the realtime player we utilized. If you click on the video clips (there are 56 video clips in this one player), make note of the arrow left and right of the playing video. This is how you navigate to each additional video clip.
Again, this is an example of how we understand, maximize, and help build networks with New Media here at BlueDynamic:
