filming OS event : what impact ?

[Michael M Pannwitz]

Dear Christine,
I have experienced about 20 os with filming going on (sometimes TV crews 
that just stayed for a few minutes, sometimes cameras in the distance as 
with the os with 2108 participants, sometimes roving cameras, even 
several of them, sometimes a well worked out script)and some of the 
results you can see in the videos/DVDs available at
> http://www.boscop.org/store

the boscop market place (there are additional "historic" videos that are 
no longer for sale such as the one with gradeschool children where 3 
cameras were involved).
A great example is also US Southwest, a kind of classic os-film, as far 
as I am concerned...involving people actively through interview snips.
Since energy in an os event (and perhaps in all events)is a function of 
passion and responsibility of the participants in a space/time matrix 
within a complex adaptive system of their own making and under their own 
control, the energy seems not influenced by filming. In fact, I have 
seen parts of the system very energetically defending their space and 
asking filmers to move on (this, by the way, is and should be mentioned 
  as an option in the introductory remarks when the presence of 
moviemakers is announced).
Good luck with your film project...and if you can sell it, you are 
invited to open up a stall in the boscop market.
Greetings from Berlin
