Theoretical computer science is at an exciting time. Many major breakthroughs have been made, and the inventors of most major results are still alive today. To preserve this history for future generations, the goal of the the HiDAlgo (High-Definition Algorithms) is to record people describing the important algorithms that they invented or that they love, in short freely available videos.
This IAP event will kick off this project. The first day will consist of trial runs, with participants experimenting with recording and editing videos of themselves. We will also brainstorm styles for recording different types of lectures, and start developing a website with guidelines for submissions and a public repository of videos. The second day, we'll record a series of (short) invited lectures and edit them to seed this site with an interesting collection which we hope will grow.
Participants from any background welcome. In particular, we'd love your feedback on interview style, format, cinematography, editing, web, algorithms, people, etc.
