Tomorrow I am going to edit the letter with a good editor. I have taken your notes and we will work on it and I will repost it tomorrow evening. And if it looks OK I will release it for you all to send around as you wish. It will be more or less the script for the video to come. Then those who wish can video away. My good friend and videographer Shane Peters wants to help me edit this beast. http://www.hobeyford.com/video/happy-feet-the-firecracker-jazz-bands-music-video this is very fortunate (for me) as he is very good. He has suggested that if you live near one another, that you find a friend with good equipment and make a saturday of it. Otherwise good digital home equipment. Pick colorful fun and visual places to film. make sure there is good lighting and the audio is clear. Keep the final video down to 5 minutes or less. Please do adlib if something comes to you. If you can get video with an audience you need to get release forms signed . They will be posted very soon. Shane suggests mini-DV as the best format. Tapes be mailed to me at. For now we going to hold off on the idea of uploading raw footage on youtube. Shane is up for having all your stuff on the timeline when we edit in case we need something at the last minute. The spirit of this is really a snapshot of american puppetry as much as anything. So think about how you can show that visually with action. The finished piece will be very short and we will be putting a lot of visual information in so don't be suprised if your bit in the end is seconds. We will see what we have to work with. We will preview it privately among ourselves on a private channel on youtube and if it lookks good we'll then post it publicly. This an art project be creative and have fun. Hobey Ford 62 Ballard Branch Rd Weaverville, NC 28787 If your camera uses a hardrive instead upload it easily at www.sendspace.com (300MB max per file one at a time ) send it to me a link at : hobeyone-AT-gmail.com e-mail me first off pupcrit to let me know what format you are to send. If you have hi res jpgs keep the files at a good size so we have good resolution. It won't matter a whole lot for youtube but since we are going to the trouble and Shane is up for it we want it to have good resolution so the better quality the video equipment and quality of footage the more we'll have to work with. _______________________________________________ List address: puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org Admin interface: http://lists.puptcrit.org/mailman/listinfo/puptcrit Archives: http://www.driftline.org
