Team Videographers??

[J Flex 188]

Its really great in my mind to see all this feedback coming in about videographers =) its always funny to see a random person moving about when everyone else is around doing work or at the field buzzing about with a camera making sure stuff gets documented. That's not to say we dont do work with robots, but this is really rewarding too.

just a thought, does anyone here plan out sequences and shots? im talking about making a storyboard with the specific purpose in mind of creating a promo video that has a set structure and what not, or do you take a lot of source footage and then gradually edit it down when the time is right. Basically do you plan out exactly what kind of shots you want to take? or do you play it by ear most of the time. like i menitoned above, last year for us was pretty haphazard, but im looking forward to doing a much better job this year.

also just wondering how much leeway did the schools give you with usage of the media labs? i know im usually able to come in before/lunch/after school. but im not sure exactly when the time would be. im debating between whether or not to try and finish everything at home or to use the school's facilities. two different formats (priemere or final/imovie)

DVD's are a neat idea, hope to see it work out!
