Looking back I would change a few things in my department. First of all I would only check out the equipment that my team needed the day of. I would make other directors check out their own equipment so I am not held responsible. I would not have changed my team for the world. They rocked this event. I could not be happier with how well and smoothly my team ran the event. The volunteers felt needed and happy, registration ran smoothly, and Ben rocked taking care of small things that occurred outside of our control. I would have made sure that I had everything the day off better instead of just getting it all inside. I would have organized it in my car so that way I could have been PR here you go, Ops here you go etc. I feel that it ran smoother than last year and the live feed was way easier with the webcam I bought. I think the only thing that surprised me was that it ran as smooth as it did. Way to go team.
4-09-14: This week after visions has been a huge relief. I do not think that the festival could have gone better. I have come up with my DVD assignment. I have made the deadline for peoples edits 1 week so that way I can have a few of them late if they are late and not worry. We are struggling with the Aspect Ratio to fill up the whole screen. James Cobb is killing it with animation and I could not have asked for a better animator to help with this project.
4-16-14: WE have figured out the DVD ASpect Ratio. We found out that everything needs to be 720x480 pixels. This way we can go back and do all the menu's again after showing it to the class. I am working hard to figure out how to fix Pal to NTSC errors. I think I may have found a way but I am not sure. I will need to test a few times and see if it works. I have tried several conversion dowloaders online for free and nothing has worked yet. Blah right now but good things to come.
4-23-14: I had drill this weekend so I was not able to do anything this weekend for the DVD. I did learn how to conduct a proper Army interview while on the range. I worked with a few PAO personal and taught them how to use their Sony Cameras. Update: I just checked the drive and stuff is gone FML!
4-30-14: Okay I have fixed the NTC to Pal errors. You must take the video such as Pandy and the edit that Dallas Covey did for us and put them back into premier. You must then export them as NTSC "Like I said to do or as a h.264 and 1080i in my guidelines". That is done for now and All the links are working.
5-8-14: I have been up for almost 79 hours with only a 2 hour nap. I am so fried right now. I spent 12 hours on sunday finishing up the DVD with know 2 problems I need the class's input to finish so I do not get in trouble for making a command decision. I feel we need to just get rid of the Q and A and leave them all off the dvd for space. I can't wait to turn this in and be done.
