Watch Broadcasting Tutorial



Broadcasting:

  • Go to https://watershed.ustream.tv/dashboard
  • Contact your Hub’s respective Artistic Director, Producer, or Administrator for a Watershed Password.
  • Broadcast using the channel, “Goodnight Series”

Use the following format to record and save your broadcast:
  • Title - Goodnight (“Your name”) (“Your Hub” to “Receiving Hub”) (date)
Example: Goodnight MacLeod Andrews LA to London 1/18/2012

  • Description - A brief description of your goodnight presentation.
Example: The Moon Song by Mildred Plew Meigs. My father used to sing this to me as a child.

  • Tags - pertinant tag words
Example: Moon Song Lullabye Goodnight MacLeod Andrews Father

Guidlines for programming:

  • The target “goodnight hour” is 8pm at the Receiving Hub city. Schedules are inconsistent, of course, so this is merely a suggested time for broadcast.
  • Please request a time from your local LoNyLa administrator before broadcasting to make sure you do not conflict with another broadcast.
  • Only utilize the Goodnight Series channel once you have been given access to Watershed.
  • Keep your presentation within the confines of the theme of the Goodnight Series. You will have a great deal of freedom over when and what you do with this access. We will not be strict and we want you to be creative; just don’t sign on and pitch us the new screenplay you’ve written.

Please introduce yourself when you start your broadcast. Tell us what Hub you are a member of, and to whom you are sending your goodnight wishes. We would love for you to tell us what you will be presenting and why it is relevant to you, but you do not have to.

All Goodnight presentations must be under 5 minutes for now. This is to encourage broad usage amongst members, multiple broadcasts on any given day, and simplicity of production. You may get as intricate as you wish but the main goal is to get LoNyLa members sharing. This is a broadcasting initiative of the most basic sort. If you would like to present something longer, break it up into installments - Think YouTube!

Let us know If you would like to have your broadcast posted on LoNyLa (we would love to post it!) We can post on on the LoNyLa.com's Goodnight pages which are public, or you can post your Goodnight video on your profile page. Let us know your preference.

FYI, we will not approach you, so take the reins. We do hope you’ll share with us!
