Re: Video Required for Chairmans
I agree with many of the concerns addressed here. But also have an additional concern.
I would like to know what is the very specific purpose of the video. If it is not for the purpose of judging, then please let us know what it is being used for. This was not detailed for the teams.
How will this mandatory video be used (or not used) is very important. Are we going to make a video that will not be judged or viewed? Will it just go into storage somewhere? Will they display all of the Chairman's videos?
We are a team that is strong on video, but it boils down to resources and where they should be placed.
We were just getting ready to make a major update of our "Team in a Box" DVD. An update that will take months and the better portion of our media team, if we do it with care. Should we scale down a project that will help other teams and redirect resources to the Chairman's Video? We would have to do this to qualify.
Which ever way we decide to go, our kids are going to put their hearts into it. I guess I have a hard time directing kids to put their hearts into a project that may not have a defined purpose other than to guarantee entry into a contest. More than anything else, the student that make this video wants someone to watch and enjoy their work. (plain and simple)
So I would love to see some clarity on the purpose of the video. This clarity will help us to direct the energy of our most valuable resource, our students.
