Important: Plan for the Video Montag...

First off... lets make our deadline for submissions September 3rd (Monday) send it in as soon as you finish so that Simon or Tom dosent get rushed on the last day with all the editing and whatever needs to be done.. email address : simon_shearston@hotmail.com I just got a message from Simon who is not even sure of the possibility of showing a video at the funeral, as soon as we know details we will be able to say yes or no.....so please do what you were going to do but be flexible and be prepared we might not have the possibility to have every video or any in the montage that goes to the funeral, might just be audio.. its not about us...we have to keep it to a certain time limit...but we will include everything on our own version of the montage.. we dont know much at the moment, but cant afford to wait until we find out either, so we do the best we can with what we know until we know more.. Also when making the video, please keep in mind its a funeral so dress as you would if you were there. here are some of Simon's suggestions, if you have anything to add or any questions post it on this thread quote:
1. A piece to camera or just audio (over which we can lay photos of Ron), up to 30 secs. max. in any popular video format (720 would be the preferred resolution). 2. Introduce yourself with your name, and your country of residence. 3. A few words that you would like Ron to hear if he were with us. Fond memories, his encouragement, any special joke he cracked that made you laugh (keep it clean, please). 4. Wrap it up with a goodbye (for now). 5. Funerals often require CDs for music (usually only two tracks are played, on entrance and exit) a few days before, so we need to be quick. I know we all wanna do something special for Ron but at the end of the day it all depends on the family wishes and needs.. so do what you were going to do but be flexible (to give you an example I was thinking of doing a short musical video, one short message video...that way whatever is required, audio, musical video, message video... i am covered).. Keep checking this thread for updates EDIT quote:

To add to this......if you thinking about it...perhaps leave the Scottish accents out of it, I am not sure if Scottish people find that funny lol

Thanks Florian. Good stuff. Folks, please participate, it will mean a lot to AC and Ron's family and friends. May I suggest we formulate a simple script, as if you were being interviewed, to keep it consistent e.g. "What is your name?" "Where do you live?" "How long did you know Ron?" "Do you have a favourite memory of him?" "What do you think you will take from knowing him, in the future?" Try and keep it to no more than 1 minute. Please bear in mind what Florian has said. We may not be able to show a video at the funeral so we are not looking for musical performances right now , but by all means, if you are contemplating something, we will use it here as a lasting memorial and make a copy for AC. In the meantime, a piece to camera from which we can extract the audio if necessary, would be ideal. Into a web cam of computer camera is fine but try and make the audio as clear as possible. It might be nice to carry your guitar on your knee as a reminder of what we are about but try not to fiddle with it, or look down at it too much. 1. You can upload the video or audio to YouTube (audio only is fine as we will superimpose photos of Ron if this goes to video). YouTube will ask you convert the audio to a video format in Movie Maker, iMovie or some other editor. It's simple enough. Mark it as "Unlisted" and send me the URL. 2. You can send it to me at the address above - assuming it is not too big for our mail systems. 3. You can upload it here in the audio and video upload section and let us know on this thread. Limit is 5Mb. I'll do mine and post it here as an example of what we are thinking. Any questions?
