On Thursday, I finally emailed Matt Stamm. I told him I appreciated his advice and insight on documentary filmmaking and also inquired recommendations for film festival submissions for my film Waterfowl(ed). I also included a link to my film so he could watch it. One of my many faults is being conscious about showing my work. I am a perfectionist and I'm never fully satisfied with the results of my projects. Hopefully Matt will have some encouraging comments that will help guide me on my future projects. I have already begun researching for a summer project in Wilmington. Jaclyn's speech has inspired me to continue working, regardless of employment and to focus on subjects/projects that I am passionate about.
On Friday, I uploaded the Conference Block footage from the archival hard drive. I cut the footage and the audio needed for my segment. However, I do wish I had some footage of the audience so I could intercut them into the Q&A. I suppose I could cut in some slides from the scholars' presentations to avoid just having images of 'talking heads'.
On Saturday, Michelle posted up her design for the DVD cover. The Art Department reviewed it and I suggested some minor adjust with text alignment and readability.
On Sunday, I finished editing the Conference Block Q&A. I created individual question slides in the same design as the Event Slides since some of the audio for the question was inaudible. There was also no footage of the Q&A from the lumina camera positioned on the right. This unfortunately limited the angles I could use, but it seems that the two I had available are fine.
On Monday, we had our Art Dept meeting and reviewed our Manual drafts as well as the final details of the DVD. Zoe also joined us to discuss how to close-out the website/FB page for V7. On another non-Visions note, I'm still waiting to hear some feedback from Matt. However, I did receive great news that my documentary was accepted into its first film festival, TMFF. It's not a huge accomplishment, but it is nice to see some progress!
I also submitted my final Manual additions for the Partner School, Art Dept Scheduling, and Printing.
