In this video, Al Tkatch documents (using a Nokia N95) April Smith livestreaming an interview via Live Cast software on a HTC Touch Phone with Susan and Alex Burnip done for Fearless City Mobile W stories for the Heart of the City Festival in Vancouver.

As the team leader of this peer learning experience and group, April peer trains Al and Susan and helps facilitates the process of learning the mobile technology in accordance with LiveCast software being used and makes sure to keep the image on the HTC Touch cameraphone of the interview nice and steady.

As Alex Burnip is being interviewed... (He is a longtime DTES resident who is a gifted, informative yet quietly eloquent speaker, Fearless Mobile Team 1 which was comprised of April, Al, and Susan ) hooked up an additional free standing external microphone ( which was our own initiative) to amplify Alex's quiet voice so that the screen animateurs at the Mobile Screen site, which were Scott Nelson, Hendrik Beune and Jerry could clearly hear his voice and allow their audience members to interact with our guest interviewer Alex Burnip through MMS and SMS text messaging using the SIFT Tool.

Our team took great care to focus on sound quality and clarity of our Fearless livestreaming to a mobile screen with an equal concentrated effort to make sure that we as well, possessed clear, sharp and well lit images, thanks to Mo Simpson, our DTES Filmmaker in residence to the Fearless City Mobile Project who educated us on the proper techniques on using the camera to our best advantage.

During the interview with Alex and Susan, April using text messaging on a mobile cameraphone to stay in touch with the mobile screen animateurs to communicate audience's questions and ideas to the interviewer and guest. She uses SMS and MMS on the phone to also take cues and direction from the screen animateurs to pay attention to certain things such as camera angles.

April in a peer training role to this team, sits behind the HTC touch camera making sure the LiveCast Livestreaming is working and helps coordinate a smooth interview process with much encouragement to Susan and Al for their great hard work and through demonstration and ample awareness of each team member, all members of the team peer train and peer learn from each other about mobile technology through the Fearless City Mobile Project
