Update on my computer and a few plans for moving forward

I was able to get my computer back yesterday, so I began reconstructing my storyboard last night. I was able to look at all of the stills and video I had gotten from Ron Knorr. I made a list of the possible pieces of interviews I could include in the documentary and pulled aside the stills I think I can use.
Tonight I will be attending Dr. Holmevik's Visual Communication class because he has a speaker coming who will talk about speech writing for film. I am hoping to get some helpful tips on writing the narrator/voice over parts of the speech.
Jay Hope has offered to help me with narration, which I think will help create ethos since he is a member of the committee who is rebuilding The Hope School and a relative of the family who deeded the land where The Hope School now stands. I had originally wanted a James Earl Jones-esque voice, but I think that a member of the Hope family will have a bigger impact on the audience.
Beginning next week I will spend at least 7-10 hours a week in the MATRF working with Final Cut Pro and putting together my project.
I also have plans to go to Pomaria over my Spring Break. I am hoping to get my own stills and meet Ron Hope. It is possible that I can get an interview out of him to put into the documentary as well.
After I attend Dr. Holmevik's class this evening I am hoping to come up with a project timeline, which I will post as soon as it is complete.
