Ani said...: Important to see this video--many thanks to Onnik for pioneering this innovative approach, which is going to prove important since the authorities can't censor it.; 4 May 2009 at 20:16

from 6:40 for Bazaz brutality. Bazaz behaves like a psycho, he harasses not only the demonstrators but also the police, probably even more. He is like a loose canon in midst of people. I guess at some point his subordinates will get so fed up that they will put a sack on his head in narrow streets of Yerevan and bit s*** out of him.; 5 May 2009 at 09:55
Ankakh_Hayastan said...: Yes, Bazaz fits in the clinical diagnosis of a psychopath.; 5 May 2009 at 19:03
parisan said...: Very interesting videos. I wish they were longer.

I wonder what was the video camera in use, because it seems to behave like the i-phone, as if their was a drop of water within the lenses. When the camera shakes you get this weird, liquid-like effect.; 7 May 2009 at 08:02
artmika said...: Parisan, Onnik was using Nokia N82 phone. He shared some of his first impressions of using this handset for live mobile broadcasting here.

I wish iPhone has a video recording capabilities too. What an embarrassing omission by Apple...; 7 May 2009 at 10:15
Onnik Krikorian said...: Mika, Parisian,

The problem is that I didn't have image stabilization on for the video. By default it's turned off (for some reason -- maybe frame rate?) and I only discovered the option the next day.

Re. the iPhone, though. Is this a third-party workaround?

artmika said...: Unfortunately, it's not available on official iphones, this application reportedly works only on 'jailbroken' one. Just checked again iphone application store - as of today, nothing for video recording there :( shame, really... hopefully newer versions will appear rectifying this and some other omissions.; 8 May 2009 at 00:38
