JB I mentioned that his is a dry-run, or, an out-of town tryout for a =ossible yearly conference/seminar. In this regard, we are attempting a =uantum leap forward by bringing in Jason Wishnow, the former Director =f Film and Video at TED (http://bit.ly/19jhyKY), who, in 2006, defined =he aesthetic of TEDTaIks, establishing standards for how to direct, =ight, shoot, capture, edit, encode, and package the talks.

Thus Jason, and Ian Marcks, another film-maker, will be filming the =essions with five cameras, and importantly, this would involve filming =he people listening to the talks as well (i.e. put away your sm
