Process and Notes from Hanson

Process for Completion and Notes From Hanson


1. Order your sequences
-SCRIPTING (1-2 people orders each section)
-what pieces are similar?
-create a "bin" with extra comments included
-make it cohesive

2. Re-arrange the sequences based on the whole content
-keep the big picture in mind
-learn to let go of unnecessary details and walk away with the most important factors

3. Listen to it with closed eyes
-make final touches to the overall piece and polish
-critique for further review and show it to Hanson

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Content = Skeleton and MAIN POINT Key Notes: -Tighter is better (balance length with the amount of information being said, don't worry about length) -don't feel trapped, go get the footage if you need it! -work on ordering sequences while still gathering footage to save time -discuss the state of editing by specific dates and DEADLINES (they are included in the calendars)
-Communicate and work together as a team, one person shouldn't be doing all the work and one person shouldn't be doing nothing as well

We all HAVE to be there since we will be going over our plans for the Brian Kennedy interview for this upcoming Tuesday!If you have any questions, post them to the blog!

Meeting

Can everyone still make it today to our meeting, due this this weather?

Some footage of Toledo

Yeah so our camera died. Took some shots with my phone of random places. 280 bridge and other spots. We should definitely go back either Tuesday or a time where we can get both day and night. J and I found a good spot to shoot the bridge and some of the "skyline" hope you guys got some good  info from the library?

Lot's of UPDATES!

Hello Team,

We have a lot of updates to talk about since our last team meeting on Friday. In class Tuesday we made good progress. We got one of the 2 video's copied over to our file, information from the Toledo Library on some archival photos we would like to use and we also got some interviewing questions/bios done.

FOR THURSDAY

Two people will be going up to Toledo to shoot the 280 bridge. Chris has said that he wouldn't mind driving so either Nathan or Jarrhette, who wants to go with him?
I reserved a camera and tripod for this already in the ARC. I am also going to post the information on where Jutta has told us a good location to shoot the bridge would be.
Whoever doesn't go is going to be working with me on searching through all of the photos Chris has gotten from the Library (online) and figuring out which ones we would like to use so they can pull them for us later on.

NEXT TUESDAY
For next Tuesday I have gotten in contact with Brian Kennedy from the TMA and we are going to be going up there to interview him. We will need to leave as soon as class starts if not sooner to make our appointment of 11am. Lets figure out who can go earlier, since we may need to set up the light kit (if we need to drive 2 cars to get it done then that's what we will have to do i guess).

After our interview, Jutta would like to meet with us and show us around the glass pavilion and the pieces that she would like us to film/photograph. I am not sure how long this entire process will take. I am hoping that we can get both things done and be back by 12:50. Like I said before though, if we need to drive 2 cars to work in all of our schedules we will do that.

I have also been pretty good about keeping the calendar up to date, so if you have any questions about what we will be doing just refer to that! Okay guys I know this is a lot, but it's good and we are making the progress that we wanted to make before break! See you tomorrow,

-Michelle

Library Results!

Chris:

Here is a link to our glass collections. I would suggest that you focus on O-I & LOF. Once I find the preliminary inventory to the photos in O-C I will send that as well. There are a lot to look at so you might want to take an extra day. O-I alone takes up an entire room (not all photos, but the collection). It would help me to be better able to help you if I knew what boxes that you would like to see ahead of time. That way I can have them ready for you.

Once you have identified what you might want to use, I will call my contact people and request permission. Usually it doesn’t take very long (like maybe a day or two, tops) and as I mentioned, they have never told me no. I personally just require it as a courtesy to them.

Also, I would strongly suggest arriving here on campus as early AM as possible to avoid as many parking issues as you can.

Tomorrow's Class

Hello team, in case you didn't know, the in-progress critique will be moved from tomorrow to this Thursday. I suggest that we spend part of tomorrow's class organizing what we will say and show during our presentation, which is going to be 20 minutes long (including time for feedback).

Another bit of information is that I found out when Fritz Dreisbach (visiting artist) is going to be doing his talk on 1962 and it will be next Tuesday at 1pm, so right after our class lets out. Please let me know if you will not be able to help with this!

See you all tomorrow!

REMINDER

Team, this is just a reminder that we are in fact meeting with Jutta (Dr. Page) tomorrow. Instead of driving up there she has agreed that a Skype chat would be just as good, so that is what we will do.

Please come up with any questions we need to ask her by the start of class tomorrow. We will Skype her at 11 so it only gives us thirty minutes to go over what needs to be discussed as a team.



Here are some of the questions that I have come up with, with Heather:

- Script --> Who will be in charge of writing the voice over? Would she like to find someone to do the voice over or should we find someone to do it?

- Will she help us arrange an interview/ head talk, with the mayor? contact for the mayor?

- Brian Kennedy's contact information

-Does she have a logo already made, we have a graphic design student that can make one. If she wants us to have Drew make it what would she like the logo to look like?

-Can we have some contact information for the archivist, Libbey factory, Pilkerton factory, Owens Ill,
:historical: photos of Libbey glass factory,
:Pickerton factory
:1st G.A.S factory
:1952 historic event
:Libbey in Chicago before moving to Toledo
:Owens bottle machine company
:Contempory:
:some kind of cog roadshow
:glass fashion show

-Content for the actual conference... photos, videos we can use?

-List of the artwork from her collection to shoot (maybe send us stills of those, to help with a starting point)

Outline

Here is the outline that Heather helped us come up with, please add any comments that would help us with the revision and/or addition to this:
