Brunswik Meeting video



I ended up shooting some video from my seat at the Brunswik meeting in Long Beach November 16 and 17. I spliced the unedited clips together into a 26 minute video. The quality is uneven, but you might find it interesting. I didn't get video of everyone; I tended to focus on people that students in my class might have heard of but not seen. I was sampling haphazardly, and did not shoot a clip based on what people happened to be saying, except for Ken Hammond. I included extended clips of some of his stories, including his story of the development of the lens model equation, his encounter with Kahneman at the 1997 meeting in Philadelphia, and his description of the 1978 meeting photo. Ken will be 91 in January, and it was really heartwarming to see him looking so healthy and chipper.

I offer this with apologies for the videography. If you want a higher resolution version (wmv, 61 mb) click here. I could also send you a better quality file.

I'd be interested in your reaction to the video, and any thoughts about the meeting from those who were there.
