So we did this and it worked pretty well. Of course you can follow it exactly or not at all.

People (4-9)

• Diligent note-taker with exact times of each event for the whole rally (1 person needed)
• One videographer for each event, with a decent quality camera (1-4 people needed)
• One or two GOOD camera set-ups for Hyperlapse of whole event (1-2 people needed)

Either Hyperlapse or Trigger Tap (Peter’s Camera) Preferably two for angle variation

• Random photographers for thumbnails, featured image, and event content background. (1-2 people needed)

Shooting b-roll

• 1 - 2 minute clips ONLY. We want to upload straight to Vimeo
• Try to be still
• As close and as informative about the specific performance as possible
• Change angles between performances
• Multiple people can shoot a single performance but only one will be used
• HIGH quality camera. Phones are probably okay but try to check out camcorder
• And maybe tripod

Shooting Hyperlapse

• Since it’ll be of the whole event, place on the ground or on tripod
• Use a HIGH quality camera. Peter has software for any Canon Rebel T3i to do timelapse
• We want the whole event to end up 2-3 minutes long, so play with settings until that happens

Shooting pictures

• Informative, and as clear as possible
• Two forms of coverage for a normal pep rally
• Timeline

Storify

• Everyone who covered it will come back to upload pictures and video for a quick turnaround
• Upload pictures to wordpress or imgur, it doesn’t matter for the timeline
• DON’T UPLOAD ALL THE PICTURES YOU TOOK. See which photos the timeline-maker needs
• Upload b-roll to vimeo with a descriptive title and nothing else
• Note-taker will work with Timeliner to format timecodes and titles while content is being uploaded
• After all content is uploaded,
• Timeliner will insert into timeline and add appropriate credits while
• One or two people work on a Storify.
