Hi Brenden,<div><br></div><div>This is a very, very pleasant surprise for me. I love the concept and want to thank yourself, Robin and Milton for thinking of and doing this. This should help with fundraising, outreach and, frankly, internal self image. For what I'm hoping to do it very definitely is a late Christmas present. </div>
<div><br></div><div>Under Maria's capable hands I'm sure the Finance Committee will eventually figure out bid processes for expenditures of this sort. For now I accept your assurance as far as cost and I'm fine with it.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Talking heads tend to be boring, and although boring is not a capital offence for this type of production, to the extent the professionals you have hired can jizz things up a bit (short cuts, flying globes, quickie organizational charts) great. They know this stuff far better than I do. A contact slide at the end with our e-mail address (do we have one?) might be nice as well.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Thanks again. You told me yesterday we might be able to do a few bells and whistles on our website...you are certainly a man of your word!</div><div><br></div><div> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Jan 23, 2013 at 7:36 PM, Brenden Kuerbis <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bkuerbis@internetgovernance.org" target="_blank">bkuerbis@internetgovernance.org</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<div><br></div><div>For those of you who were not on the EC at the time, a few of us (namely Robin, Milton and myself) thought it would be beneficial to leverage the well attended NCUC pre-event and produce a short promotional video. The purpose was to create something that could be used to explain why individuals and organizations should join NCUC. Working with a local producer (Eric Pedicelli), we conducted several interviews on site. With our assistance, Eric has culled raw footage to a coherent 6 minutes. The intention is to shorten this down to 2-3 minutes in the final product with graphics, transitions, music, etc.</div>
<div><br></div><div>At the time, we contemplated enough surplus funds from the Toronto event to support a post-production budget of $2000 (which is absolute bare bones). I believe this is still the case, but wanted to get approval before moving forward and polishing it into a final product. </div>

Hi, Brenden.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The paper edit you and Milton provided was excellent and gave me plenty to work with.<br>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The linked video is a rough content edit. Try not to be distracted by any jump cuts. For now, view it as though we're editing a radio program and later we'll make it look great. <br>
<br>

I think we should aim for 2-3 mins so this rough cut is long and redundant which leaves room for you to shape it. I've got opinions about which clips should be cut but best if you provide me some feedback before I go further. We should also discuss the post
production budget, I'm not sure we had a final verdict on that.</div>

<div>- Ron's clip, currently at the beginning, could work effectively as an intriguing intro or resonating conclusion.</div>

<div>- One of Milton's clips was used twice. We'll choose which works best.</div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><span><font color="#888888">
