 +**Notes on the procedure this year:**
  
 +We would like to give every camera angel the opportunity to gain confidence in dealing with our cameras. Since we couldn’t provide enough shifts last year, we decided to limit the amount of camera angels to ensure that every angel can do a handful of shifts during the event.
 +We especially encourage people that are already experienced with our gear from previous events (also smaller ones like GPN, Easterhegg, …) to register by clicking “join” as soon as you know that you want to support us.
 +
 +There will be a short mandatory introduction meeting at day 0. We’ll confirm your role as cc angel shortly after the meeting.

 +A refresher of the full training session can be found in the “selftraining” PDFs at https://github.com/voc/engelschulung.

As we do a “live-to-tape” recording, the live-stream feed will also become the recording after adding an intro. 
 +You also need to communicate with the camera angels via intercom to request the shots you need and let them now before you get their picture live.
  
-The  available sources are the cameras in the audience, as well as the  display of the presenter's laptop (usually the slides). Sometimes, there  also are close-up cameras on stage. Slides containing text should be shown long enough to allow both slow and fast readers to read them. As a  rule of thumb, reading through the  slides yourself twice usually ensures this.+Constraints:

-Please take a break after doing those tasks, we don't like back-to-back shifts. +**Notes on the procedure this year:**
  
-We will meet every day to distribute the shifts for the following day.+We would like to give every video mixer angel the opportunity to gain confidence in dealing with our setup. Since we couldn’t provide enough shifts last year, we decided to limit the amount of video mixer angels to ensure that every angel can do a handful of shifts during the event. 
 +We especially encourage people that are already experienced with our gear from previous events (also smaller ones like GPN, Easterhegg, …) to register by clicking “join” as soon as you know that you want to support us.
  
-==== VOC Crew ==== +There will be a short mandatory introduction meeting at day 0. We’ll confirm you as video angel shortly after the meeting.
