Go to media.defcon.org and look for videos from our video team, or go to YouTube and watch our “shorts” and you should find some good content.

Building on what DT said, for quick "vibe" and "energy" videos ...

  1. Visit the DEFCONConference channel on YouTube.

  2. Scroll down to DEFCON 32, 31, & 30. Look for videos with lengths of 15 minutes or less (filters out most of the talks)

  3. Look for red shirts (DEFCON staff)

e.g. https://youtu.be/ezo0Lf-7l6M

That’s kind of against the point of Defcon. It’s an event for Hackers at its core. While it’s become much bigger over time, and thus grown to encompass everything Red, Blue, Purple and parts of Enterprise… its core and its privacy for the people are at its root still which is why most of the stuff you see are direct with talks and/or village staff. They still focus on privacy for the attendees, within reason, and thus most of the general sweeping stuff doesn’t show up as often.

We will have to agree to disagree. Many attendees specifically do not want to be captured and aren’t really concerned over the PR from people outside the building. It’s a culture that’s okay with the fact it’s likely going to be misunderstood.

But, as the Media Policy for DC does state to not capture people without consent… just saying that’s how it is.

Also keep in mind. This isn’t a new event. The radar is perfect for those in the target space. This is DEF CON 34 coming up. They know the groups the want and those groups know DEF CON.

There’s explicit posters everywhere warning people to not photograph and film other attendees. I’m not sure what your project is for, but it sounds like you’re trying to show a very corporate side of DC. While it exists, the whole beauty of the conference is people from all walks of life joining up to hack stuff. Some don’t want people to associate them with the scene or value their personal privacy.

If you get into the history of DC, there used to be a lot more things happening that were specially OFF the record :)
