<div><br></div><div>I think you know my position has been...ummm...a bit distorted. When you first told us about the project no one was more enthusiastic than I. I believe in a private e-mail to you I described it as an "early Christmas present" for my outreach efforts. My concerns were two fold: 1) ensuring the end product matched what we're planning to do with the website and 2) trying to get more diversity into the final product. As to the former, maybe you could seek out Sarah and see what she's up to. I'm thinking things like fonts, colours and the like could be coordinated to give a uniform cross platform look. No cost, no big effort.</div>

Maybe the e-team/external communications folks could give some guidance on this and colors, font matters ASAP? </div>

At the risk of inviting some wrath, crowd shots showing a diverse audience, anything. I'm not sure we want to go into Durban with a video of light skin folk telling dark folk we're diverse and we love you. Maybe too late but I know if you can do something you will.</div>

E.g., we have about ~10 seconds which we can possibly fill with images (if we can find/use them, please send them my way) that highlight types of diversity. Although I note that we already have other types of diversity, e.g., 6 women vs. 3 men speaking, 4+ nationalities, etc. But I get your point. </div>

<div></div><div>Are you planning on doing the voice over? Your voice on Google Hangout was really good and has a sincerity that I think comes across. Before I'm accused of being an academic wanting to be a filmmaker: 1) I'm not an academic (thank God), and 2) I have run political campaigns, including lots of work with spots, for a quarter century.
