Steve shared tips and tricks for creating great videos and getting them online.
There was a lot of interaction with the attendees, like here with Sarah Maizes and Rachel Sarnoff. Check out this quick video with the workshop attendees created as a test.
What a great way to start the 140 Conference!
This conference was extra special because we were able to have it in the Kodak Theatre.
We even reserved a seat for Jack, just in case he decided to show up and learn more about Twitter.
Kodak had a booth set up in the lobby where visitors can learn all about Kodak products and what Kodak has been doing with social media. We were set up right next to TweetPhoto who uploaded photos taken during the conference. There are also lots of pictures of the conference here.
We had a Smile Cam set up where attendees could record "what makes them smile" and were being shared on 12 Second Video. 140 Conference founder Jeff Pulver is seen here recording his video.
Jeff Hayzlett was invited to help host some of the conference with Jeff Pulver. Mashcast created this hilarious of Jeff and Jeff to play at the opening of the first day.
The conference was great and covered how Twitter effects topics from education to sports to rockstars and more. If you would like to follow some of the folks here at Kodak on Twitter, here is a list (using the new Twitter list feature!) of Kodak Tweets.
The finale of the webisode Woke Up Dead will be posted this week and we can't wait to see how it turns out! To celebrate I will be giving away one Kodak/Woke Up Dead prize package via my Twitter feed @KodakCB once a day, Monday through Friday, this week.
Each day I will post one Woke Up Dead trivia question and the fifth person to reply to me in twitter with the correct answer will win a Kodak Zi8 Pocket Video Camera (just like Matt uses in the webisode!) and a memorabilia item from Woke Up Dead, such as a signed exclusive portrait of Jon Heder as a zombie by zombie artist Rob Sachetto! Tell all your zombie fan friends!
With your own Kodak Zi8 you too can shoot zombies. With your camera.
For a chance to win, follow me on Twitter @KodakCB and watch for the trivia questions. The contest is for US only - sorry. Check out the following rules and regulations below.
