agreeably, we didn't have that much luck with videos during the last 
years. In 2012, we went with a professional video producer form 
university, including a professor for media-related studies, but still, 
we ran into issues - I guess c'est la vie. :-)

The problem is that you usually have to take local companies, as flying 
in externals from other countries doesn't make that much sense 
economically. The best you can usually do is to trust those who are in 
charge and make that for a living, but sometimes it can fail as well.

I don't know what recommendation I could give other than that, which is 
the way we did it for 2012, with the outcome you have seen...

The sheer amount of pictures is alright, the quality as well, however, I 
agree that a designated photographer knows better what is allowed and 
what not, and only produces pictures we can publish without reviewing. 
This is by far not a theoretical problem - I recall people who wrote to 
us after the conference stating that any individual picture of them 
might NOT be shown, so...
