AeA Testimonial by Anne Mulcahy, Chairperson & CEO, Xerox



Uploaded by: AeAVideos
Video Description:
Anne M. Mulcahy, the Chairman of the Board and CEO of the Xerox Corporation led a list of luminaries that attended AeA's Annual High Tech Government dinner on June 8, 2005. Hosted by the AeA Board of Directors, more than 500 people attended the dinner including numerous Chief Information Officers and procurement officials from over 25 different Federal agencies, officials and leadership from the Administration and Congress, and dozens of CEO's representing high-tech companies.
Ms. Mulcahy provided the keynote address at the dinner, which has become a premier event featuring leaders from both the public and private sectors. Mulcahy spoke on the importance of research and development (R &D) for Xerox, specifically how two-thirds of the company's revenues come from products designed in the past two years, and how investments in R&D and math and science education initiatives by the federal government are critical to the United States' competitiveness in the global marketplace.
"America itself is failing to invest in our own future and to nurture our own technological infrastructure -- the very infrastructure that has propelled us to world economic leadership," said Mulcahy. "If we won't start to address the issue now, we run the very real risk of losing our world leader
ship. And no one sector can fix the problem alone. It's the shared responsibility of business, government, and education." Mulcahy discussed solutions, including lowering the barriers for the immigration of highly skilled workers, championing dramatic increases in federal funding of research, and d
ramatically improving math, science, and engineering education in the United States. She also spoke on Xerox's efforts to increase the number of minorities and women entering the technology industry. "Bringing more women and minorities into the world of science and engineering, is not only the righ
t thing to do, it must be an essential part of any national strategy to remain competitive and continue to lead the world in innovation." A reception was held prior to the dinner, where AeA members met with leading officials of the Federal government and Congress, including General Steven Boutelle,
Chief Information Officer, U.S. Dept. of the Army; Scott Charbo, Chief Information Officer, Dept. of Agriculture; Scott Hasting, Chief Information Officer, Dept. of Homeland Security, U.S. Visit; and Bruce James, The Public Printer, U.S. Government Printing Office. Earlier in the day, the AeA Board
of Directors held 25 lobby visits with several key members of Congress to discuss immigration and workforce issues, the R &D tax credit, CAFTA, and the overlying issue of U.S. competitiveness in a global economy.
AeA would like to thank those companies who sponsored the event, including Gold Sponsor Xerox; Silver Sponsors Adobe, Akamai, Cisco, DRS Technologies, Federal ComputerWeek, Intuit, Lenovo / IBM, Marsh, and SafeNet; and Dinner Patrons Aetna, Ciena and FSI (Federal Sources, Inc.). AeA thanks these c
ompanies for their generous support in making the event a success. Founded in 1943, AeA has grown into the nation's largest trade association representing the high-tech industry, with more than 2,500 members and 19 offices, including offices in Beijing and Brussels.

Tips to help you create better videos

1. Eye Candy.
Think about some of your favorite videos, ask yourself, what interesting shots and b-roll need to be captured to make your video entertaining to watch.

2. Good Lighting.
The main difference between amateur and professional videos is the quality of the lighting. Poor lighting creates graininess and poor quality videos too. (*Hint* In most studios, the lights and the cameras can be adjusted up and down to get the correct amount of light.) For your home studio make use of fluorescent light bulbs. These bulbs produce a nice soft light with no harsh shadows. You can buy fluorescent light kits or you can save a lot of money and make your own fluorescent light box. It is best to use a three point lighting system which is fairly standard in most studios.

3. Tripod.
Use a tripod for shake free shooting. Tripods come in all sizes and quality. Most camcorders used today are only small and weigh very little so there is no need to buy a tripod to suit a heavy professional video camera.

4. Microphone.
The built in microphone on your camcorder is not the best to use if you can avoid it. Buy a directional one that can be mounted on top of your camcorder. Otherwise mount the microphone on a boom or support just out of view of the camcorder but close to the subject. Another option is to use a microphone that clips onto your lapel and as used by newsreaders on television. These are very effective and can be purchased for less than $50. No need to buy a wireless unit, but you need enough cable to run from the camcorder remote microphone, up the inside of your shirt and to your lapel. Bear in mind that you will normally be seated within six feet of the camcorder so the microphone should have plenty of cable.

5. Avoid Zooming and Panning.
Avoid zooming in and out and panning from side to side as much as possible. It is recommended that you set the zoom prior to recording.

6. Pre-Roll and Post-Roll.
Allow a few extra seconds after starting and before stopping the camcorder and the actual start and finish of the action you want to record. This allows for better editing once the shooting is over. Not allowing for the pre-roll and post-roll can make editing difficult. If you are filming yourself then start the camcorder recording with the remote control, wait six seconds before you start talking and at the end let the camcorder run an extra six seconds before stopping. This will give you plenty of time when editing.

7. Remember It is A Small Screen.
When shooting videos to add to your web site, normally the player will be 320 x 240 so avoid wide scenes, keep it close to see the detail. If you are filming yourself talking, you should be within six feet of the camera and preferably from the waist up. Keep the content simple and uncomplicated, do not have much happening in the video and keep it quiet-on-the-set.

8. Think Like a Photographer.
When shooting a video, do it like a photographer taking individual shots. Plan your video shoot, record for a short while from one position then stop recording, reposition the camera or yourself then shoot again. This will reduce excessive camera movement in your video. Using these tips will ensure that you can shoot and produce quality website videos of a better quality than most people. Remember, practice makes perfect and soon you will be getting great results on the first take.

9. Look at the Details.
Sometimes, you are so focused on your subject that you do not notice the surrounding elements of the scene. Only later, when you are reviewing the footage do you notice an unsightly trash can in the background or a tree sticking out of your subjects head. I like to scan the video screen carefully before shooting to make sure there is nothing in the shot that I may have overlooked. You may be surprised what you find!

Use our search feature, at the top of the page, to find videos about your favorite topics.
