Doc,
Just to throw this out there, if it does not work out and you need
a backup.
My filmmaker daughter Kate who is in graduate school at Columbia
currently, is an old hand at shooting footage like this, lots of
interviews and filming an ongoing film production (which is not very
different from this). She shot an impressive "making of" for us
when we made White Countess where she interviewed Ralph Fiennes,
Natasha Richardson, Vanessa and Lynn R, and Ishiguro, as well as
some of the shooting days (when james ivory allowed it).
I'm sure she would do this gratis.
Just let me know if you want to consider this possibility.
Camp Shakespeare sounds like a home run this year.

I very much agree, Bruce. I will ask Trey to look into his second
option.

not sure if you are asking for opinions, but here is mine anyway...
I would say that I am fine with having someone else film the "special
footage". From my perspective, I would like to hear and preserve
candid
conversation and personal connection, not merely the "performance".
For
me, it has always been about the process and the people and not what
we
do in front of the audience....

Subject: Re: Winedale video day scheduling conflict
Hi Doc,
I have a big film shoot in Washington DC on August 11th,12th, and
13th. I have the Winedale shoot down for the 12, 13, and 14th of
August. Obviously there is a two day overlap. I will not be able to
video Winedale alumni activities on the 12th and
13th of August
personally. Depending on what you and the others want in the special
footage I could get someone to video for me on
those days. I am
assuming the actual performance is on Saturday the 14th. If so, I
can still personally video that. So our first option is to cut the
two days of special footage (12th, 13th) and just have the
performance on the DVD. The second option would be for me to get
someone else to video special footage (12th, 13th) and I video the
performance on Saturday the 14th. The third option would be for the
alumni group to video each other. I can take that
video and mix it
into the DVD. I will adjust our cost for what ever we diced on. It
will most likely be less now that I can only be there for one day. I
will understand if you and the others want to go
with someone that
can produce the hole thing in its entirety. Just let me know what
you think. I am sorry about this. I just found out about this other
project in Washington DC today at work.
