As with all projects, sometimes the best plans come unstuck so this post is about some of the problems we've struck lately & how we've been able to overcome them.
The 2 online lectures (covering some key sustainability concepts) are well in hand - they relied on content (presentation and the associated audio) from a project team member (one of the teachers here at the Gordon).
The 2 videos were all planned as well - we thought. One was to be video of a guest speaker presenting to a Gordon workshop. The Gordon staff have great contacts with local industry doing interesting things around sustainabilty so capturing some of this would result in a great video. All sounds great huh!
However this came unstuck at the last minute - guest speaker didn't feel comfortable (after initially agreeing) and we had to abandon that plan.
Luckily there was a backup which I think will make a excellent replacement - Ray had already discussed filming an interview with one of his students who has revolutionised her (& her family's) life due to her studying the Sustainability diploma. So her journey has become our video and is likely to be a better end product because it's a personal story about the ways in which we can all change to live a more sustainable life.
Initial filming for both videos has been done (the talking heads /interview part) and Mark (our filmmaker) is filming 'B roll' footage today and tomorrow (I'm learning quite a bit about the filming process and jargon too - just a side benefit of this project). So we're looking forward to seeing the first rough edit version of both videos (probably start of Term 4) - will post with a report on them!
