Re: [Deptheads] Picture/Video requirments

I agree with both of you.  In an ideal setting, we'd have our staff photographer in charge of assembling a team and sorting through pictures, photographing random bits.  His team would then have 1 photographer/videographer per department, responsible for general and special event pictures.  

Sadly, we don't have that. :(  What I think Eric is trying to do is assemble a list of "most important" things that he can give to Troy so that Troy can budget out his own time as well as his staff's time to make sure those events are covered.  Beyond that, he is very good about taking random con pics and I am certain he would express this need to his team.

We *want* pictures and videos--as many as we can get!--but we also want to make sure we get pictures of our special events so people will want to come to them again/next con.  

Believe me, I understand where you are coming from--but, I also know where Downing is coming from.  Our former photographer was a casual board gamer; Troy is an RPGer.  Time is critical...

Eric,

I understand, but we also need pictures and video of the con as a
whole.  One of the things we lack are good pictures of each
department during the con.  This should take a couple of hours and
ideally could be done early Sat.

Tim(and all department heads),

We have will have hundreds of events.  If we tell our
volunteers to take a picture of everything then we may get
pictures of 30 different role playing events but none of the
game designer who is there running his own game.

Same thing goes for the other departments, I just
used role playing as an example.  We know we need pictures
of things in each department but we can't tell which things
are important to that department.  That is why I sent a
request out so people can tell me specifically which things
are important to have pictures of from the con.  If the
answer is everything then we will get a random assortment of
what our volunteers found interesting which seems to be the
wrong plan to me.

What I don't need is the convention schedule sent
back to me from each department.  What I do need is a few
specific events that need to be highlighted from each
department so we can ensure that those are given the
coverage that they need.

Thanks,

Eric

I hate to put it this way... but there needs to be
pics of everything...  LARPs, RPGs, Ministures, Video
Games, Guest Events and Seminars, Dealer's Room, Board
Games, Library, etc.

As you all know Troy Tieuel
stepped in just prior to the last
con to take over the new staff
position of being in charge of
Pictures/Videos.

He is busy trying to line up
his volunteers for Orccon to make
sure that we have coverage of all
key events/activities at Orccon.

Can you please send (or be
ready to hand to me on Sunday)
your list of what the key things
are that we need to make sure his
group is covering.

Thanks,

Eric
