Video Blogging the Georgian Parliamentary Election

Vlog Europe says that it will soon be visiting Georgia to conduct a seminar on video blogging as well as covering the parliamentary election there through the Danish SILBA organization. Writing on his own blog, Raymond Kristiansen provides more more details about the exercise and also solicits suggestions and feedback.

I have earlier been holding workshops on videoblogging in among other places Sarajevo, and I am aware of some of the challenges associated with talking about videoblogging to a mixed audience like this. I have talked with the organizers of the seminar, and we agree that a hands-on approach is ideal - that they get to use the tools themselves and experiment with the medium.

I am leaving already in two weeks, so time is short, and there are many questions that need to be looked into. What is the internet situation like in Rustavi? What kind of footage will we want to put up on Youtube and similar sites? What do we do if we find that there are electoral irregularities in Rustavi?

What kind of footage would You like to see? If you had the chance to see the election in Georgia from first-hand accounts and not just filtered through the main-stream media - what would you be interested in?
