#hcsmeu 1st birthday video

Posted on 05. Aug, 2010 by neilcrump in Fun stuff

Hi all

To celebrate the 1st birthday of the #hcsmeu community and inspired by this excellent video (spotted by @pharmaguy and shared on the #hcsmeu Facebook page)…

…here is an idea…

Compile a video of the #hcsmeu community members saying “hcsmeu” from the birthday gatherings on Friday 6th August (if you cannot attend a birthday party then please record a message from your home or office).

Please send videos to me and I will get this edited together and put up on YouTube as quickly as possible. I will bring my Flip camera for the London gathering in Vauxhall.

If you would like to take part here is a mini briefing:

  1. Let me know if you plan to film some video via a tweet to @aurorahealthpr or an email to neil@auroracomms.com
  2. Keep any other messages other than the “hcsmeu” pronunciation short – the ultimate aim would be to have a three min (punchy video)
  3. A group raising of glasses and a picture of any birthday cakes (@pharmaguapa is making one for London gathering – yum, yum) would be good
  4. When you send the video please send a supporting document that identifies each person (actual name plus Twitter name) – time codes associated with people’s appearance on camera would be ideal :+)
  5. Submit the videos for editing to my email address above.  Alternatives to directly emailing [large] files (which would likely not arrive!) would be something like ‘You Send It’ or Dropbox (which Aurora uses) that is free and easy to use…
  • Go to www.dropbox.com
  • Click to download Dropbox
  • Follow the instructions that pop up to install the program
  • Once it is installed, open the ‘My Dropbox’ folder which will be located in your ‘My Documents’ folder
  • Open and read the getting started guide to teach you how to use Dropbox to share files

I am looking forward to seeing the London revellers and many others in ‘person’ on the video.

Take care, Neil (@aurorahealthpr ^NC)

    The 1st one ever is here : http://www.facebook.com/#!/video/video.php?v=418197488581
    Since when, pronounciation has been formalised !
    I like “hick some you” but I really loved the “smeuch” pronounciation.

    We’ll take photos & videos of the pariser event and will send it to you, I am eager to see the final result !
