The 2013 OCIF (in Video)

This October, Ken Steele spent a day at the Ontario Colleges Information Fair in Toronto, checking out college exhibits, talking to organizers, collecting print materials and impressions to share with you.  Based on positive feedback from this year’s podcast from the Ontario Universities Fair, he also took along video gear and videographer John Matthias, to make this blog more engaging than a written summary illustrated with photos (as in previous years:  2007 and 2009).  We learned from the OUF podcast experience, and invested heavily in wireless audio gear to cut down on ambient noise in our interviews on the trade show floor – and John’s experience at the NFB came in handy when it came to improving audio levels in the post-production phase.

In this 22-minute video podcast, Ken provides an overview of the larger college booths and exhibits, and speaks with 8 good sports (all of whom obviously have more TV interview experience than I have…).  Unlike the 3-day OUF, we had less than a day to capture the OCIF and once again, our sincere apologies to those individuals we didn’t have time to interview, and those colleges who get minimal mention.  (For section shortcuts, see below.)

 

When you’ve had a look, please comment below.  What did we miss?  Did we get any facts wrong?  What are your suggestions for next year’s podcast?
