I participated in a one-day workshop on integrating user experience design into the agile development process. This is interesting in this context only in that the participants came with strong opinions and lots at stake professionally. I directed and produced this video summary with my cell phone camera and consumer grade video editing software.

At this event I did not propose a video based report until the participants felt there had been some accomplishment worth reporting. We had just finished an exercise were participants completed the sentence, As a <role> I learned <idea>. These thoughts were on the board behind me as I recored.
I had applied a similar process throughout the day during company offsites where the remote office was unable to attend but wanted to understand what had been discussed and who were discussing it. This was recorded more privately as most attendees were on break as one of their peers would summarise the previous session.
I would often record two minutes of impromptu summary to get one minute of edited video. I would edit out the dead air, false starts, um and uh, and the occasional prompting question that I would ask.
In the dawn of wiki I performed a similar editorial role by shortening and focussing the comments made by others while respecting the opinions they expressed. Federated wiki makes refactoring conversation much easier than it once was in the small box offered by the web's textarea tag. The readership there grew when its reputation for good signal-to-noise ratio got around.
