Summary of
10-24-06 Graduation Meeting
1. David Boyd
reviewed the different parts of the video
- Audio taping---sign up next month for the audio taping session in
January. Each family will have an opportunity to record 60 seconds (can be
shared by several family members).
This audio runs in the background while the 5 photographs are
visually on the screen.
- Photographs---high quality photos needed (David provided examples)
The photos should progress
from birth to senior picture. David
discouraged the use of polaroids. He
recommended 8x10 photos or photos without cluttered backgrounds because he will
need to focus in on the senior. Bring
your photos to the audio taping in January.
