Okay. BrickFest over, photos and video taken. Time for all the contributors to
hash out details of the DVD's organization, divvy up any post-processing
pre-assembly that needs be done, and figure out file transfers. I'm cc'ing this
to email because (a) we might want later gory details private and (b) I don't
think we're all on Lugnet. Photo studio guy George Gray (-ey?) seems not to be
on this thread.
Filenaming: My Olympus assigns sequential filenames of the form P1234567.JPG,
but it doesn't increment reliably. Some of my BrickFest pics have identical
names; they're isolated in separate folders *now*, but if you try to throw them
all together you'll get conflicts.
Resolution: I took most of the pics at 1600x1200 res, but on Sunday was running
low on flash and so dropped to 640x480. The former can be zoomed, but the
latter is still adequate for DVD resolution (720x480) if the composition is
good.
Quality: With my tripod and light-sensitivity, I got *very* sharp pics.
However, many of them are canted or keystoned, and will need to be rotated to
minimize seasickness.
Identifying MOCs: I often have a pic of the MOC card proximate to the *good*
pics, but they're usually junky. The information needs to be copied to a neat
visual -- either a text-only card or text-overlay.
Identifying people: Except for crowd scenes, I usually recorded the names of
people (the pirate game, Rail Racers, Sky Gods who held my backdrop), but
they're in my pocket notebook. If needed, I'll have to report them by pic
filename.
DVD organization: By room, MOC size, builder, theme (eg, not all castles were in
the castle room), original/replicas/rescalings, winners, building technique
(trees, interesting rooves), event (rooms vs talks), people and badges,
slideshows vs full-motion video.
