Post for January 23

I. In the last week I have met with Dr Holmevik and we talked about a plan for completing my project. I will begin posting every week on Fridays. I will discuss the work I have done during the week and what I will do in the weeks to come. Part of my plan for this week was to begin learning more about the technology I will use. On Friday, January 23, I purchased a Sony Handy Cam camcorder and played around with its features over the weekend. I will use the camcorder to take my own footage. I also ordered a book on Final Cut Pro, which should be available for pick up by February 6.
II. This week I will work on a storyboard for my project. I will need to meet with a classmate to get the footage that she has and upload it to my external hard drive. Once I get this footage I will be able to formulate a more specific storyboard. I also need to think about the exact story I want to tell and the music that will go along with it. I will contact Ron Knorr to get some of the stills he has and I will also work on planning a trip to Pomaria to get any additional stills and footage I will need. This week I will also need to begin getting in touch with the people Jay Hope gave me contact information for. I am also going to work on a more definitive timetable in order to give myself deadlines and also to keep my committee and Jay Hope informed about my progress and when they can expect to see deliverables.
