  • Meeting Thursday, June 7 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Schedule: M, R--10:30-12:30  (302?)

Please shoot me an email with your updates above tasks below or go ahead and fill out the "Update/Comment" section beneath your name. Thanks, Adam, for the email update Friday. Very helpful. It occurs to me that's a good system for the duration. So Jennifer, Kelly, and Sunchai: update me as soon as you can on below. 

 

Let's go with this rhythm for the duration of the summer--

 

Deadline for Tasks assigned MONDAY: Wednesday before noon

Deadline for Tasks assigned THURSDAY: at least two hours before our Thursday meeting

 

 

Assigned to task  complete by deadline  unknown Going forward

NEXT WEEK: Take a look at Adam's email (below his task assignment) for update on where he is with this remix. Next week, please continue working with Adam to help him reconstruct that video by showing him where he can find the high quality images he needs and relevant video, complete captions for sections on Belford Page and John Carlos. 

Please complete the tasks assigned if you haven't already done so (in red).

NEXT WEEK: Please work with Kelly and call upon rest of team to help complete and post our first blog item for the new RRT blog. I think I may have overloaded you guys requesting the first blog post within a day or two when you are just getting started with your blogs for class and everything else. 

 

Since you have vacation the following week (yes?) you should probably plan to take lead on posting Blog 1 and pass along to Kelly a solid contribution to Blog 2 (for week you are gone). Please also plan on additional hours this week to help us process the Moore papers. I'd like you to take lead on coordinating coverage and scanning for this by spending several hours this week in the collection. Do you think you'll want to give half of your 19 for the week you'll be gone to this week and the other half the week after you come back? or some other configuration? However you want to go about that should work for us and the project. Since you know the archives so well, though, it seems like a good idea for you to take lead on this and know what's there so you can help us grab what might be most useful. 

  Update/Comment from Jennifer (by our next meeting?      
Adam

Check image consistency (and audio too)

Adam contacted SC Friday after discovering conflict with system will require him to rebuild the remix 

Search possible audio options then bring to next meeting to share 

 

 

Upload mp4 to YouTube

YouTube upload (mp4)?

On Rebuild: I was afraid this might happen, Adam, given the way the system kept acting when we (Adam, Christina, and I) met to transfer over project files and rest. Thanks for your willingness to rebuild. Not great news but, as you note, not the catastrophic either. It sounds like feels comfortable with rebuild, especially given the project has already been laid out and timings set. Thanks for being so generous with this! Please go ahead and spend this week on the rebuild.  We'll have a few additional changes

 

On New Audio: Your email also suggests given need to rebuild and for new audio, we should probably wait to do much with the music until we have that new audio available. I think that's a good point, especially given what we have learned about above. 

 

For NEXT Week: Please keep working on rebuilding the video. Before we meet, please prepare a copy of the version you edited so we can make any additional suggestions you might want to address while we are at it. NOTE: it is vital that those time stamps remain the same. Prasna has already programmed to be set to this pace. 

 

Update/Comment from Adam: 

 

From Adam's email Friday, 4:30:

What may end up happening is that we may need to totally reconstruct the first video.  Basically just reimport all of the videos/images, but we can keep the same structure.  The video that Christina had worked on is not compatible with our computer.  In order for the quality to increase, we will have to redo the images.  Also, I looked at some music ideas, but in order to make a choice, it would probably be best to wait for the audio to be redone. This seems like it will be only a minor step back as all of the revisions and structure is in place. I will just need to build it back together.  Sorry for any bad news.

 

Best, 

 

     
Kelly

contact Noah Nelson and Jamar Mosely for new recording plus Evans for Tyler

FOR NEXT WEEK: 

Go ahead and contact those folks if you haven't already. The main item for this week is to start us rolling on those annotations for the first video. Let's start cranking drafts of those out. Also, the first blog post. Let's get that done this week (see my note to Jennifer above). For both of these significantly complex items, perhaps it makes sense for us to sit down together and brainstorm a little. Let's talk about when might be good time for this. I do think it'll make sense for me to come out Wednesday so that may be a good time to brainstorm/plan the public interface a bit more. yes? 

  Update/Comments from Kelly      
Shannon

contract Andrea about Moore archives; meet with IT re: popcorn, layout next steps (contacted Mike but he was out of town last week, according to his bot); popcorn for Still Searching [ish, still much more to be done); rough draft, NCC storyboard; website, rough draft; Timesheets (yes, me too)

item in red still in process 

FOR NEXT WEEK: 

I will try to catch Mike by email Monday and perhaps even a f2f meeting at some point. I will also get over to the archives to see what we have. Might require a Wednesday trip to Commerce this week but I'm willing. I'll also continue working on tweaking this still very rough draft of the NCC storyboard and possible annotations, as well as prose and planning for SS popcorn.

Agenda, 4/4

 

Assets for I Searched (additional)

--Carlos: http://issuu.com/phalconstarnews/docs/khnnov152011

http://www.lionathletics.com/sports/genrel/2011-12/john_carlos_doctorate (I will get the ET one and others from Carleton Cooper, but he still has to find them for us)

 

 

Agenda, 3/29

 

1. Recording with Jamar

 

2. Request: Can we plan a "showcase" event for Thursday (a week from today) or the following week? We should invite Jamar, Noah, the group from the archives, Belford Page, Michael and Prasna, and others involved in the creation of this video so they can see it before we show it at EGAD. Explore this together as option and, if it seems possible, invite Jamar for this when he comes. We should also invite Carleton Cooper, especially if we don't yet have the Carlos images. We can use this an excuse for gathering them from him.

 

3. Schedule for April 13, EGAD; invite Jamar to join us, if available  (http://egadtamuc.wordpress.com/schedule/).

 

Also: Annual Research Symposium (next week)

Thanks, Christina! I'll cc you on correspondence with organizers.

 

4. Were all the images brought into the video downloaded from the least processed source available (ie, a direct link to the digital collections or a direct scan)? Were any of the images brought into the video downloaded from another source (like the digital collections), then uploaded to the wiki, then downloaded again for upload into the video? Each time we upload and download a digital source it degrades it, of course. So we want to minimize the number of uploads and downloads any single image goes through before appearing in our video. Otherwise the image will be unnecessarily degraded. I have also uploaded again some of the images on Carlos. We should be ableo

 

5. I have made some suggestions concerning layout of quotes and a couple of tiny tweaks for clarity. I will offer these in a screencast as soon as this article is in hands of journal editor tomorrow. Also there is that missing section of text ("Eventually I found them") before the "They were in the slave receipts"). other things were timing, I think, and rest. These are all minor suggestions and discussed here . . . quote-revision-3-22.docx

 

6. Watch latest version again (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qDX45Zamatw&feature=youtu.be) and offer any additional notes for Christina.

7. Review start of storyboard for next video 

 

Destination for Dreams storyboard2.docx

 

We'll do this in four parts. Jennifer and I will pin down tight draft of Parts I and II, which we can begin developing and assembling next week.

 

8. Sunchai and Chad: are we going to be done with the complete citations for all our existing media for "I Searched" (Sunchai) and "Destination Dreams" (Chad) by end of week?

 

What else?

 

 

 

 

------

 

 

 

 

On my way to St. Louis! (shannon), but call me if you need me today at 9033661767. If I can't pick up I will ring you back when I can. I'll be out of pocket most of each day for the rest of the week but online off and on and can pick up messages on cell if you want to call it or leave any text for me.

 

--

Thanks everyone for your help getting the artifacts to Christina and to Christina for getting the video put together. I can't wait to see it!

 

GOAL TODAY: Review Christina's latest draft and other items Kelly has listed.


Check out the new template!
Also: check out the new template for the site--
http://web.tamu-commerce.edu/academics/colleges/humanitiesSocialSciencesArts/departments/literatureLanguages/RRT/RRT.html

(the link for video one does not yet go to the I Searched remix and I think we need a link for both the BLOG for regular updates and an ABOUT link (for details concerning the project beyond the info). But this will give you an idea of what Michael and his team are up to on our behalf).

We may end up with just the two videos in the end, but that is absolutely fine.

Here's the remix with annotations: http://web/academics/colleges/humanitiesSocialSciencesArts/departments/literatureLanguages/RRT/JamarMosley.html

It's happening, folks!

Thanks for pressing forward!
Shannon

Shannon,
All of my emails keep bouncing back so I hope this gets to you. I don't know if CenturyLink is still having some problems because our internet has been up and down throughout last week and this week, and when we call they just have a recording that all customers in Texas are having problems. 
I'm still missing the images below:

Image of dog attacking child in AlabamaLittle Rock 9Dr. Ivory MooreDr. David TalbotDr. J. Mason Brewer
I've downloaded the higher resolution images of everything else.
Also, I'm not sure if Noah had an older version of the storyboard but I don't have his voiceover (VO) of the parts below:
Old South week was an event held each year by the fraternity Kappa Alpha. The male students emulated cavaliers of the antebellum period while the women dressed up in hooped skirts and dresses similar to the costumes in Gone with the Wind. They even went as far as holding mock slave auctions where fraternity pledges dressed up in black face to play the role of slaves. This event was finally moved off campus in (year) when African American students protested and eventually disbanded all together
Velma Waters was the first African American to enroll in classes and attend East Texas State University
Family and neighbors like Maydell Pannell and her children would soon follow
In the case of Brown vs. the Board of Education, Derrick Bell insists, "...as in the abolition of slavery, there were whites for whom recognition of the racial equality principle was sufficient motivation. But, as with abolition, the number who would act on morality alone was insufficient to bring about the desired racial reform". 
I'm still just using my voiceover for Jamar's part, but other than the above things the video is done. I know you told me that you needed it the Tuesday after Spring Break, and the other pieces that I'm missing will be easy to insert.

View remix and discuss responses to assignments below.

Discuss revision suggestions and popcorn needs.

Assign sectoins and complete popcorn and other additions for that section before we meet individually. Make any additional suggestions by Sunday midnight to give us some time to implement before Tuesday meeting.

 


 

for 3/1

 

     Your job is to tell us what additional things you'd like to see us consider for next draft of video remix and associated popcorn).

 

     1. Take a look at most recent draft of "I Searched" here: http://remixingruraltexas.pbworks.com/w/file/fetch/51266942/I%20searched%20for%20Myself.mp4

     (if you can't view it, no problem; Christina is going to upload to a YouTube channel for easy view)

 

     2. Check out the popcorn template and various fields we need to populate with additional information: http://web.tamu-commerce.edu/academics/colleges/humanitiesSocialSciencesArts/departments/literatureLanguages/RRT/default.html     

 

     3. We are looking for two things (a) additional suggestions you'd like to see happen or be considered for each of the four parts of video remix represented in above draft and in the storyboard  (storyboard-2_Jamar.docx). (b) popcorn suggestions for various parts.

 

     4. Add to Media Assests (Part I, Part II, Part III, and/or Part IV) items for (a) added to video and/or (b) pocorn.

 

Media-Part I

Media-Part II

Media-Part III

Media-Part IV

 

 

NOTE: tomorrow, I will expect each of you will have added one or more items to above folders. If you can't view video, go ahead and add what you would like to see based on your reading of the storyboard. (above link).

 

A good place to look for stuff is in Kelly folder and Chad. DON't MOVE stuff from these folders!

 

Instead, do this:

 

(Option A): When you find something you want to share, go to the url for that item (found in address field at top of browser like you would most any website) and copy it. Then go to the media page you want ("Media-PartI" etc, as listed above), click "add link" (on second row of tools under "insert" and "table" and to the right of "source"). Paste the address in there and Voila!

 

In addition to link itself, it would be incredibly helpful if you'd also tell us what it is ans why you think we should include it. I'll do that with what I post between now and our meeting.

 

(Option B): Instead of pasting the direct link (messy), you can instead locate the item existing elsewhere on the wiki nd paste it in directly. (that's how I did links above other than long url for video). Go to "add link" (as above), then "Browse Pages and Files." Everything on our wiki is listed there and can be linked to directly from any page.



 

What's next?

 

During our meeting 3/1, we will discuss video draft and your contributions. Everyone should have contributed items to at least one of the above "Parts."   I except we'll continue to add items for popcorn through 3/6 (instead of St. Paul, which I would like to begin as soon as we feel very good about this one and ready to move onto next).

 

Friday, 3/2, Christina and I will sit down with a revised storyboard I'll develop utilizing the info you provide and the info I've already developed. Christina will hit that revision hard over weekend in preparation for Monday, when we'll meet again to ensure its ready for our viewing/discussion 3/6.

 

We'll invite Jamar for meeting then record archival footage with him and oral history interview (after meeting). We hope to get Noah Nelson to next meeting to record audio narration.

 

Then dive into next video.
