Following the huge success of FILMCLUB’s first ever live webcast, we’ll be live on 14th July 2010 for a close encounter with Oscar-winning make-up artist Christine Blundell.

Watch the webcast here.

Christine is one of the UK’s leading make-up artists whose credits include Sherlock Holmes starring Robert Downey Junior, Finding Neverland starring Johnny Depp, Casino Royale starring Daniel Craig, The Full Monty and Vera Drake.

The webcast will be live from Central Foundation Girls’ School in Bow, East London, with a live studio audience and questions from schools across the UK via our funky chat application.

Our friends at muchosmedia have just put a new demo online of EventChat, the app Kinura uses for turning ordinary webcasts into interactive online events.

The app now has social media built in so you can log in from twitter, yahoo, LinkedIn and facebook. Check out the features and admin tools here and see the demo. It’s probably more fun if you get someone to log in and chat with you so you aren’t just talking to yourself!

We have some plans to integrate further with twitter so watch this space. You can now follow @kinura on twitter if you want to keep updated.

Someone asked “What are the benefits of live streaming vs. pre-recorded video”

- and quite a few people have answered, covering pros and cons, interactive options, audience engagement, moderating feedback and so on.

Check it out if you’re wondering about such things!

FilmClub, the fantastic organisation that enables pupils and teachers to expore the world of film, is running its first ever live webcast on 21st April 2010 from 3.30pm – 4.30pm: an exclusive interview with  Tom Felton, star of the Harry Potter films.

During the webcast,  Tom will be asked a selection of filmclubbers’ questions and he’ll be tweeting throughout the day. A chat room will be provided for the participating schools to send in their comments.

The folks at Kinura are rather excited about working with FilmClub!! And if this pilot goes well (as we’ve no doubt it will) there could be many more live link ups between filmclubbers in future, extending the reach of FilmClub’s live talks with actors, directors and creatives of the filmic world.

On 31st March 2010 at the Wellcome Collection in London, the first full day BectaX event will take place with an accompanying online event made up of a live webcast with some seriously interactive twitter and chatroom activity.

Schools from across the UK have been invited to join in, with their comments appearing on an interactive map as they tweet and chat whilst watching the live stream. The chat room has been provided by our genius friends at muchosmedia - with all the live vision mixing, archiving and global streaming delivered (of course) by Kinura.

BectaX is part of Becta’s “Fit for the Future” programme: the project is being produced by Just-b.
