<div>Dear EC,</div><div><br></div><div>I want to share with you a rough edit video of footage taken at the Toronto meeting and confirm financial support to complete post-production.</div>
<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>

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>
