Progress...

Hey Team,

I hope everyone is well.  I am just checking in to see how you guys are doing and what I can do to help and support each of you.

The main things I see us working on now are the following:

• Complete organizing all video content into clips for use (Desiree & Allen)
• The more organized the better (i.e. with notes on the time, content, what section you'd use it for, etc.)
• This is loooong work.  :)  Do you guys need help?  Do you want to assign a video or two to me?
• Create slideshow montage video (Justin)
  
• Do you have everything you need for this?  Is this potentially arduous and complicated task clear?
• It seems like there may not be enough pictures to successfully fill these three 45 sec segments?  What do you think?  There are other options (i.e. shorter segments, using more video, etc.).  Call me if you want to talk about this.
  
• Create video first cut based on timings from walkthrough (Desiree & Allen)
• Sounds like you guys will be digging into this on Sunday afternoon.  Is that right?
  
• Besides Justin's montage footage, is there anything else you'll need from us for that?
• Music placement (Zack)
  
• I'm chopping the music up on a multi-track sound editor, preparing it to be easily moved, lengthened, shortened, to match the timing of our video.
• I'll be able to start putting things into place as soon as I have the video (perhaps Sunday night? :))

I know this is a lot of work in a very tight timeframe for some already busy people.  If you are struggling with any part of this, want to adjust the plans, or simply talk strategy please give me a call.

It looks like we won't be able to meet until sometime Sunday (still waiting for Allen's meeting wizard response).  But I will make myself readily available by phone/text/email the whole weekend.

This certainly is a big, hectic push for this project, but if we can charge through it now, we can meet Gifford's crazy deadline and emerge looking at some smooth sailing to close it out during the next couple weeks.

Onward ho! :)
