Week 15

Work Done 

This week I've been working on my manual to make it easier for Matt to transition into V7. I remember how hard it was for me to transition, and I hope to do what I can to make his life a littler easier and make Visions a little better! I hope to give him something to build on! If he's not worried about struggling to make it, and figuring out the basics, then he can go beyond what I did! Hopefully my writing comes across clear and concise. 

I have also been working on the vimeo videos with Anthony for the interviews we did with the Visionary panelists and the award winners! They are taking a lot longer than I expected them to. Next year, they should use the cameras with sound on them, then they could sync the sound easier in editing. It also helped to use the clapper for each of them. The interviews at the after party look good, but crowded. I think having them done at the after party is good, and makes the filmmakers/scholars feel good, but I also think that it's hard to do and takes up all of the after party time. I would really consider if it's worth it or not before deciding on this next year. I hope they use the footage we edit together, but it may be unhelpful, in which case this should be avoided next year! 

Vimeo is also only able to take 500 MB of storage each week, so we will have to come out with a roll out plan for disseminating the footage. This is something we didn't know beforehand, because it's the first time we have used vimeo. A subscription might be a good thing to consider if these videos start to become more helpful.
