Minutes of today’s meeting.

Co-Chaired by Bride and JJ

Aidan Sean and JC present.

As expected we got something of a dressing down, firstly for missing the past two weeks meetings, accounted for by “Rag week” and then a misunderstanding re last week, partly due to the Dissertation deadline on Monday at 1500hrs. After that we got down to the real business of progress reporting.

We are deemed to be too far behind and have to play a serious game of catch-up starting as of now with lots of progress to show next week.

   Areas to work on right away are:

Imbedded movie clips, we have only one ready so far and we need two more. We need to have the two other clips planned, storyboarded and scripted for the next meeting. We also need the voice over for the battle scene video plus progress on he other two. One idea for one of the videos was a “banqueting scene” maybe with the full food thing covered, a big ask, perhaps a drinking scene would be the better/easier option. All options have to be explored, food and in particular the variety of meats and veg’s in use at the time.

Sean has to have more models ready and a more complete idea of the artifacts to be used and their placing.

Aidan to get up to pace with the extra video clips and if possible get in touch with Sean Duffy re the Heritage Centre.

I have to get stuck into the research side of things with greater emphases on period customs, costumes, diet etc. with a look at the local library for anything that could bolster up the on-line info we have so far. I will need to have some progress on the background music too and start getting some sort of linear shape to it.

Plenty to do then:

Over all it was a very good meeting, lots of advice on offer and help too, but the “big stick” is out and with vengeance.
