Charles Worley works with young people in his hometown as a volunteer, tutoring science, math, and video production. He also runs a website that he uses to showcase special events in his community... like parades for instance. Charles decided to train four girls in the seventh and eighth grades to webcast a local parade. Well, according to Charles, "folks got a little skeptical." But during the parade, they had 1,800 hits from people checking to see if his protégé’s could pull it off. And according to Charles, "We were hailed as bringing the electronic age to the area."

So this year they did it again. But with the help of X10, and the XCam2. "I had purchased the Ultimate 3 Camera Deal," Charles says, "and I used this as the basis for this years production." Two cameras were positioned on one side of the street, and one camera was positioned on the other side, across the street. "We were able to switch views with ease." And continuing with Charles thought, "As you know the wireless cameras also broadcast sound, so we didn’t miss a thing."

Charles says that it was a huge success, and the feedback was very positive. Everybody really liked the different views. "And this year we had more hits during the parade."

So with a couple of huge successes under his belt, Charles is going to continue on his winning streak. "In a few weeks we are going to broadcast a High School basketball game on the web using the XCam2, and this spring we plan to put them on MARS."

Now we’re pretty sure that MARS is an acronym, not really the Red Planet, but it’s good to know that he’s reaching out to the stars… so to speak.

And we leave you with one last word from Charles. "X10 products fits in fine with my motto: You’re only limited by your imagination."
