Computers and robotics are generally beyond the scope of the Viodi View, unless there is some independent telco angle. Club Viodi members can click here to read why the motivation for producing this video should be of interest.

This video was a bit of an experiment in local content on several levels:
The News Market provides B-roll and interviews with executives from a variety of companies. All of the footage, except for the black and white footage, in this video is from the News Market. All of the content I used for this video was free and was high-quality MPEG-2 file formats (other formats are available). Included in the download was a shot list with descriptions of the selected footage. They also have “premium content” as well. To access this site, one must be a registered member of the press.
There are a few other sites like this as well, including AP and Reuters (although it isn’t clear that they provide MPEG-2). The Internet Archive was the source for the the MPEG-2 version of the short, public domain, film Roll-OH.
Lastly, an idea I have had for several years is to build a regular 15 to 30 minute, independent telco-produced, show centered around technology. Local personalities would host the show and locally produced segments would be augmented with content produced from other telcos and could include filler like this clip. Part of the intent of the show would be to reinforce the message that the independent telco is the trusted technology leader of its community.
As a catalyst to get something like that going, I will offer up this clip at no charge for any Club Viodi member that is interested in playing it on their television system.
