Cocktail Robots and Fire Pong: Electromagnetic Field 2016

This is pretty much unedited. We ran around the UK's hacker camp with a DJI Osmo. It's rough and ready, but it works. This is EMF Camp 2016. More at emfcamp.org

"oh god the Dutch!" that sentence never gets old to us

"We're going to have to mute this audio" - Fails to mute any audio

[@ianlowe4666]

Hi guys, I was the Blacksmith you went running past to ogle the 'flame pong' at 9.07. Myself and the crew have been at every EMF Festival with the 'Urban Crafts Foundation' running a mobile forge workshop since the first in 2012, (where I was ambushed for a piece to camera by a chap from Aunty Beeb) and we've been asked to come back for 2020, which is fantastic. I love being able to bring a team of heritage craftspeople to a festival full of tech heads, the love and interest we get considering how different our skill sets are is amazing. It's almost as if either everyone's twigged we're the best people to know come the zombie apocalypse or makers all just enjoy being around other makers. I know I do :D

[@mikeselectricstuff]

That's me wandering past at 3:30!

[@Feraloidies]

*wave*

[@unknowndomain]

0:38 for me!

[@TheMorpheus017]

Love it!

[@Maddi-tron5000]

How much were tickets?

[@1ManJusticeLeague]

"The pub, of course, has an API." That's fantastic.

[@mattandtom]

We're a bit worried that KZbin'll give us a flag for copyrighted music in the background here, but we're giving it a shot!

[@Gycklare]

I was going to be there but i gone a got ill. I could have seen you :(

[@TheSourSpoon]

Would have been an idea to stream it on twitch (takes a bit of bodging to do it on mobile) but they dont flag live content for copyright & on the VOD system they would have just muted parts if you did get flagged.

[@vonbongen9363]

as is evident from the fact you mention it every 3 seconds...

[@Frozen_Sherbet]

make sure to keep the backup

[@RealCadde]

Surely you are reporting a live event... Surely that falls under fair use? No news agency in the world would bother muting audio when doing a reportage about a live event.

[@MBA2804]

matt is one hell of a camera man

[@ItsFozzy]

Even though this was not edited as much, I loved the fluidity of it :-) Seems like a great event, is it held annually?

[@serinad9434]

Every two years.

[@AntiPseudo]

The Osmos stabilization is really weirding me out here, it's like walking through the camp in a Bethesda game.

[@mistaecco]

I've been attending maker faires in the US for years and at this point they're almost entirely startups and corporate booths advertising the same things I've been seeing for the past 3 faires. It used to be all hackerspaces and bizarre projects done just because they could be. I'd love to go to EMF someday, as it seems to embody the spirit that I always loved from Maker faires. Thanks for sharing, M+T!

[@ByteMe619]

"Oh blimey, it's the Dutch."

[@snowfloofcathug]

""Bosche boll" is that *something*?" "It's dutch!"

[@Heschoscho]

Great. A field has better Internet access than me...

[@Raua12]

This is making me miss events and people and sitting in a big tent with a blanket on while it gets slightly chilly but you're feeling so good bc you're surrounded by lovely folk and probably had a bit to drink and it's all so good, so good

[@pegy6384]

I'm so glad you guys put this up! I've been seeing loads of tweets about this but had no idea what was going on. Thanks for letting those of us with distance challenge see the fun.

[@debries1553]

As a dutch person, I refuse to apologize for the smoke. Weed is legal here, after all.

[@philhahn]

Needed more orange ^_^ but that tent.... so wonderfully Dutch

[@karsnoordhuis4351]

+Phil Hahn agree

[@ylvakiller]

as a dutch person, I feel let down by the lack of orange, not even half the people in orange tshirts :D

[@kairon156]

As a fan of the color orange I also feel let down. :P I'm Canadian though so not the same thing.

[@Falcrist]

This is definitely one of my favorite videos from either channel. I don't think it matters that it's not very professional. That place looks lovely. It warms my nerd heart to know that it exists.

[@DaveScurlock]

Tom seemingly gets super high and energetic on super strong WiFi! Great video

[@justanotherpiccplayer3511]

You guys are great and I love all the rambly park benches

[@WarlockOfTalk]

Great video. Would love to go to something like this. So much amazing things.

[@CooroSnowFox]

I want to go to one now...

[@Dino44]

I wonder what type of security they had on that open wifi

[@tallatech]

I'd imagine the digital equivalent of a titanium vault door guarded by laser sharks.

[@maxximumb]

And Ninja Penguins.

[@hornylink]

Just some standard black ice, nothing fancy

[@mattandtom]

There are several official wifi networks: 2g and 5g, both as secure as you can reasonably get; plus "insecure", and an eduroam connection that regular academic credentials will work with. The Network Operations team here are INCREDIBLE. -- Tom

[@jackmorris303]

+Matt and Tom an eduroam connection?! well I'd best get organising a society field trip to this for next year!

[@TheBodysome]

During the run, the camera is really stable good job matt

[@Feraloidies]

Matt shows off his steadycam skills!!!! Well done guys. :)

[@linkVIII]

The strangest thing here to me was the soldering in the wind

[@reggiebuffat]

The answer my friend's is soldering in the wind...

[@thenerdyouknowabout]

"Ooh balloons! I love balloooons!" Matt XD

[@BoterBug]

I'm glad the music wasn't muted, I frickin' love *any* version of Adagio for Strings.

[@viperhalberd]

Oh wow, this looks like so much fun. Music festivals aren't for me but this is right up my alley. I wish I knew it was on :( I'd go next year but I can't think of anyone who'd want to go with me.

[@serinad9434]

Trust me, even if you went on your own, the people are so awesome and lovely, you'll make friends in no time!

[@hawaiimaui123]

NEEHOY-MAHAOY!! DoodleBob would be proud of that URL

[@mrareay]

+

[@OrigamiMarie]

Regarding what sort of camp this is, when you were describing it at the beginning: as an American, I would call that Renaissance Fair(e) format. Booths tents for exhibits, and field tent sleeping for people who want to stay over all weekend, is the same as a Renaissance Fair. Which is symbolically pretty great, since EMF and the Ren Fair are both celebrating times of accelerated technological advancement. Something about a serious-bandwidth-wifi-enabled grassy tent-covered field really makes me smile.

[@hornylink]

that's a lot of rainbow flags, I'm a fan. also love the dutch playing classic tiesto.

[@beaniepollard8290]

same

[@violetsteele350]

Love the pride!!!

[@Mousy677]

good lord this is utterly exhausting to watch you're both in such a tearing hurry I love it

[@flensborg82]

"Tweet like it's 1982" haha. Looked like fun. Did the 'toilets' say TARDIS or did my whovian brain make that up?

[@Road-hog123]

The PortaLoo was from the "Tardis" toilet rental company, yes... :P

[@flensborg82]

There's a toilet rental company called tardis? That's... that's just not right.

[@Idellle]

There is a company named Baja maja. If you know both Swedish and Finnish language it is fun. Pooping cottage

[@DarthTella]

It's not just you... but I do call port-a-potties a "TURDIS"

[@ellingeng]

I'm using that from now on!

[@MDWoolls]

You're amazing at running and keeping the camera smooth.

[@MrVinney96]

Of course the Dutch fog up entire places with loud music. We're Dutch people after all.

[@malc568]

My favourite park bench episode and there isn't anything like a bench.

[@ThisIsARubbishName]

rooter hehehe tom's running around like a nut to the dutch rave reminded me of my old friends who would have done the same thing. "Oh he's off, bloody hell i'm not chasing you" would be something I would have said too. I wish we had that here! That'd be awesome!

[@fablungo]

None of the parts you said you would mute are muted? To me that are pretty clear fair use... But why didn't you mute? Or will you mute those sections only if you do get copyright claims?

[@mattandtom]

+Fabrizio Lungo if KZbin gives you a Content ID strike, one of the options can be "remove the song", which does some magic to it! We haven't needed to so far, though.

[@fablungo]

+Matt and Tom thanks for the reply. That seems like a better way of doing it rather than potentially over censoring yourself, just to avoid a copyright claim that may not even happen. Keep up the great videos :)

[@ColinHuth]

You two are the best. I feel like I'm really there!

[@MatthewWaltonWalton]

Delighted to see Nottingham Hackspace featured twice. I'm not involved in either of those projects but by heck it's a fun place to be when other people are!

[@KevintheBooth]

That shot was really stable. Well done Mat!

[@Muzer0]

Nice going through these old videos, I was at this event! Great memories, cheers for making this :)

[@kicmorikic0]

That image stabilization is brilliant!

[@nemnos]

I feel like I was watching Challenge Anneka. This is not a bad thing. Electromagnetic Field looks awesome guys!

[@JouvaMoufette]

I've been watching many of your videos over the years, and though I knew Tom was a DDR player, I was not expecting to hear the name "beatmania" come out of his mouth. 👍

[@lkbergen]

The music coming from the Dutch tent is "Tiësto - Adagio For Strings".

[@ragnkja]

Is it made by mixing bits of the Adagio movements of various works for string ensembles of any size? =)

[@dorithegreat6155]

Am I really watching a vlog from 4 years ago just because these two made it? Yes, yes I am

[@serinad9434]

[@UKxSkillSh0tSx]

You Guys are incredible :)

[@LucTheRedstoner]

Yes. So much yes.

[@jero37]

Oh man, this looks like so much fun, I really hope I get to check this out if I ever come to Britain.

[@richardwilson9476]

great video!

[@every8hours]

That's neat. How is the power supplied for the Routers etc.? From the Mains or Generators?

[@mattandtom]

Generators! There's a dashboard accessible from the internal network with an almost-obsessive amount of stats about the power network, wifi network, and everything. It even has "background radiation" as a stat, and I'd bet they're actually measuring that. -- Tom

[@kairon156]

I would have gone with solar power but I do understand generators are most likely less hassle than setting up a large area for solar power and batteries.

[@Outfrost]

They would have to borrow a few times as much land as the festival takes up just to set up the photovoltaic panels.

[@serinad9434]

+kairon156 There's also the fact that although it was a lovely warm weekend, as a rule the UK is not that consistently sunny...

[@theblackwidower]

Also, probably not enough output from a solar panel, to be honest. Depends on how much they're running. Also, needs to run at night as well.

[@crashmatrix]

Hope to see you guys at SHA2017 over in the Netherlands! There'll surely be more loud obnoxious music and fog machines ;)

[@brandonfrancey5592]

This looks awesome. I'd love to check this out.

[@martinsalko1]

who needs drones when you have matt gray

[@easymac79]

I love how there is a large number of people shouting about broken algorithms and copyright strikes, yet when you pay attention to the TOS, you can avoid 99% of any trouble. People should read more. Edited to add timestamp 0:19

[@Bamieater]

Love this video and getting back to it, from time to time, experiencing the feeling of visiting a hacker camp. Matt and Tom, you should do this format at more camps. Next up MCH 2021. ;-)

[@fanaticalpotato]

Sweet video, guys, but I'd just like to express my gratitude for uploading into more than 30 fps: it feels so nice to my eyeballs!

[@ianj1828]

great video

[@datenegassie]

I have one question: Why am I not there?

[@15Redstones]

Didn't expect you here

[@kairon156]

I like your KZbin name. 15 Redstones

[@attende3927]

Ah a few days until EMF2018, i cant wait!

[@vultoneo]

Looks like fun! Did not even know that it existed, Maybe i go there next year.

[@xXsolar99Xx]

This is the best thing

[@genius27641]

If you liked the retro games you should go to Fun Stop in Laconia, NH USA if you are ever nearby.

[@CooroSnowFox]

Tom goes raving a lot!

[@snowfloofcathug]

I like your name

[@walso5948]

Cool video, interesting place, looks fun

[@justandrew2186]

i love this weeks 'bench'

[@Nabooshlove7]

in the thumbnail of this video I thought Tom was wearing a feather boa >_

[@Juli414]

Dead cat, dead duck, feather boa... That microphone gets confused with a lot of things.

[@tohfawalker159]

would that count as a rave in the fog? The legal definition of rave in the uk is a minimum of 20 people (incorrectly stated as 4 in the tech diff podcast no 6)

[@Radinden]

That video had more than a touch of the Challenge Anneka about it.

[@miawgogo]

Im interested in that light for the packets

[@peter_smyth]

A porta-potty has gigabit internet, yet my house doesn't; what is the world coming to?

[@kairon156]

Very cool video. It would be cool if we had something like that where I live.

[@607]

This seems amazing!

[@TheBassHeavy]

Wow this seems awesome! Shame I missed it, I've joined the mailing list though.

[@DataCab1e]

Bender and Fry lived in the Robot Arms Apts.

[@AzpetFinn]

Cool vid and nice showaround! I did get a bit nauseous from it though

[@StanleyYork]

I'd love a game of Fire Pong!

[@LastofAvari]

Awesome event!

[@beaniepollard8290]

oh blimey, the dutch

[@reggiebuffat]

hey, be nice to Orange.

[@beaniepollard8290]

Reggie Buffat I don't get this reference.

[@reggiebuffat]

Holly Boreham the ruling family of the Netherlands is the house of Orange-Nassau

[@beaniepollard8290]

+Reggie Buffat ah yes (I was genuinely going to respond with 'ah oui' for a second there I'm not even French what)

[@beaniepollard8290]

+Reggie Buffat ah yes (I was genuinely going to respond with 'ah oui' for a second there I'm not even French)

[@robertlinke2666]

and as usual we dutchies make everything a big loud party! tiesto for the win

[@zorantaylor3190]

Imagine if they ended this with an actual EMF reunion. Woulda been.....unbelievable-OHH!!! OH-uh-OH....

[@rodbotic]

thanks for this. I was really curious what was going on there.

[@eddiejaoude]

The event looks really interesting. I am going to try and go in 2019 👍🤓

[@rubysky5359]

Oooh so Matt IS taller! I always thought Tom's taller idk why

[@Woolookologie]

DAMN, the camara looked amazingly stable, how did you manage that while running like that? Editing magic or some actual physical stuff?

[@KunamaElgar]

The camera they're using is amazing - the DJI Osmo. They did another video or two where they showed off what it can do.

[@Lacksi12]

+KunamaElgar can you link to it or give me the title?

[@Kluneberg]

Hardware thingy - DJI Osmo. They showed it in one of their previous park benches .

[@jefflanam]

Blaming the Dutch. A British tradition since 1666.

[@TheGreatSteve]

This video didn't crash my computer half way through.

[@15Redstones]

Looks great! I hope you find a park bench there for your intro to make sense ;-)

[@The1wsx10]

wow i want to go to one of those

[@burgersnchips]

Thanks Matt, choked on my bran flakes at your shorts falling down.

[@AzurisSheer]

....so we know why electromangetic field ranked so high on the list then, right?

[@Tom-to5xe]

Now schools GIVE FREE bbc micro:bits, which are cool circuits with LED lights on and buttons for games

[@DasGanon]

I know we have maker faires, and concerts in the US, but I really wish we had festivals like Europe has.

[@Manawyrm]

aww, still sad I had to miss this event for work ):

[@black_platypus]

Q: How did you make this? A: The components were designed by people Great interview, thanks, bud! :P

[@KaathKilo]

I need to go there

[@lyra6918]

my tent was right next to camp Holland 😝

[@vaughnrl2003]

Holy crap. Internet hooch! I love it.

[@teridactyl1250]

I need to go here

[@TheGreatSteve]

Tom Scott fest 2017!
