Week 15 Check In

During the last week of Visions we have still been busy.  While the Festival is over this year, we still have to complete the DVD.  Each member of the class will help to edit all the conference blocks.  I helped Samantha edit Garrett Spake’s conference block.  It was a bit difficult because the two different angles we had of him during the conference had completely different lighting so the cuts did not flow smoothly.  We color corrected the best we could.  Also, due to the audience being included in both camera angles, while the cuts on Garrett were fixed (to fix the ums…), the audience allowed the viewer to notice the cuts because they did not match.  However, it looks pretty good.  I just think next year there should be better camera work during Visions to allow for a better DVD.  Perhaps more angles and better lighting will help the editing options. This last week I also updated the volunteer manual.  Shannon said the volunteer manual was a bit extensive and she was right.  I reformatted the entire document and also simplified it.  This took a few hours, but it is now easier to follow.  I also included examples of all my documents within the manual in order to help the next volunteer coordinator.   Next week, for the Visions final we get to finally relax and go to DeFy Gravity.  I am so excited to have one more extravaganza with the Visions6 staff!  It sure has been a rollercoaster this year, but I have enjoyed the ride.
