The above is from a concert I designed the sets and lights for in 1997. I thought it'd be fun to share it with you because this copy is our first live internet streaming! Tom Erbe from the Music School came up with the idea -- we were both faculty advisors for the college radio station, so we knew each other. We had a long discussion about compression and how smooth it might be for dance vs how choppy it might be for sound. Most of which I knew nothing about. I asked him which compression software he was going to use and he told me he was writing his own software just for this show! We announced it to the world. I remember running to my office during the show and logging on to see how it looked and how many people were logged in. We worried that if too many people were watching the quality would drop. I think the quality is very good considering the time period! How compressed? This video file size is 660kb for a 3 minute video, think about it. I recently ran across this file in one of my web page archives and thought that it might be fun to post to show what it was like back in '97!
