How should you record your interviews?

Those of you with smartphones or iPads can absolutely record your video on these devices – the quality will be good.

Another option is to check out a Vado or Flip video camera from Macaulay’s media equipment library (full list of available equipment here). The main advantage here is that these two cameras can attach to a small tripod (the gorilla pod) which you can also borrow from MHC.

To check out equipment, you will need to fill out this form:  http://macaulay.cuny.edu/community/doit/av-request-form/

Some important details:

  • Requests must be made three business days in advance (Saturday and Sunday don’t count).
  • You’ll have to pick up and return the device to the MHC building (not Hunter)
  • Loan time is one week; there is a chance you may be able to arrange for an extension but will need to ask permission
  • ITFs aren’t involved in the equipment loan process – it’s a direct interaction between MHC and you!
