There's a general plan that it would be a good thing. No specific plan.
There's already someone up for doing photos, but no one for video AFAIK.

I'd like to think BarnCamp was a bit more that a random event ;-)

The way last year's photographer handled it was to be very upfront about ...
# He would be taking photos.
# If anybody didn't want their photo taken, say so.
# If anybody's photo was taken by mistake, he would very securely delete
it. That seemed to work well. Can you do the same (esp. the secure
delete) for video.

IMO, it's worth remembering that this is a fluffy gathering - I for one
wouldn?t feel that being filmed at Barn Camp would be incriminating
evidence against me (although filming my drunken state on Saturday might
be, that's a social - not legal - consideration)

Good idea.

I normally reckon the quicker the better - even taking some shots
earlier on in the weekend, and editing them on Sunday as a bit of a
workshop / let people see what your doing?

Sounds good
