October 22, 2007 Notes
Last night I arranged all the video clips for PFG (Passion For Grasses) onto the timeline in FCP6 and exported a QuickTime movie for a DVD I can view and decide what kind of introduction to put into each chapter. I also put in chapter markers on the timeline in FCP6. Next step is to go through the video, making any additions or deletion, then add title overlays at the beginning of each chapter. Call or email Bill to make certain I have the titles and locations correct. Then work on the soundtrack, adding narrative or music as needed. I can use GarageBand or SoundTrack for this or maybe just do it within Final Cut Pro.
1. Getting Started - video segment introducing the documentary and showing the equipment, then show overlay, Getting Started, Redwood Falls, Minnesota.
2. Konza Prairie Overlook - delete the segment where airplane is flying over, insert overlay - Konza Prairie Overlook, Manhatten, Kansas.
3. Konza Praire Nature Trail - add intro narration and overlay - Konza Prairie Nature Trail, Manhatten, Kansas.
4. Springhill Ranch - add intro narration and overlay - Springhill Ranch, Strong City, Kansas.
5. Tall Grass Prairie National Preserve, Strong City, Kansas. Do not need intro narration, add overlay.
6. Tower Overview, Flint Hills National Wildlife Reserve, Hartford, Kansas. Add narration and overlay.
7. Flint Hills National Wildlife Reserve, Hartford, Kansas. Add narration and overlay.
8. Rud's Prairie Project, Fergus Falls, Minnesota. Add overlay.
