Capturing Videos at Hackathons

Hackathons are appreciating how Ziggeo’s video API can improve hackers’ experiences and help capture the hackathon moment. How are hackathons using Ziggeo? Here are a few use cases we’ve seen: HACKERS RECORD VIDEOS:

Hackers record pitches on video. Here’s one example of the ATT Hackathon for Women that incorporated Ziggeo’s video API and open source Video Wall to capture and display videos: /atthack
Hackers introduce on videos hacks they intend to build. This can help with the matching process so folks can match up with folks having similar interests
Hackers record video testimonials on the hackathon itself. Let hackers record what they like about your hackathon. You can use these videos to publicize next year’s event

SPONSORS RECORD VIDEOS:

Sponsors record videos giving a short explanation of their API. You can check out http://videohackday.com/#apis for an example of how sponsor videos can be featured on a hackathon website.

JUDGES RECORD VIDEOS:

Let judges introduce themselves and give tips on what they look for in a winning hack. You can even use Ziggeo for remote judges to weigh in on tips and record expert videos you can launch via YouTube, integrate into Facebook, etc.
