In this video, before the #PopVox09 event starts at Workspace in Vancouver, I film Hendrik Beune and Peter Davies livestreaming while Suez Holland sets up the VJ equipment.

This was filmed by April Smith of AHA MEDIA on a Nokia N95 mobile cameraphone. April is passionate and skilled in making Nokia films by exploring mobile media production through the camera lens of a cellphone.
