[IMC-pgh-video] TV show update

[david meieran]

hey folks,

it looks like we might actually have a studio date at Chatham soon -  
hopefully sunday, december 2. (there was a last-minute possibility  
for tomorrow, 1pm, but it seemed to me and tricia that it would be  
impossible to pull everything together on such short notice.)

so i'm trying to update the list of potential segments and their  
running times so we can once and for all decide what's in and what's  
out. the wiki doesn't seem to be working so i'm updating stuff off- 
line. please weigh in asap:

- wheels of justice 8:00
- mcdonalds protest 2:15
- tasers and lies video 7:30
- brad will oaxaca video 16:00 (or 12:45 option)
- new orleans video 8:30
- hip hop trailer 5:30

other segments (are these ready? what is their running time?)

- bechtel protest? 6 min?
- police violence protest? 6 min?
- War on Lebanon: Destruction in Haret Hreik (running time unknown)

all the above plus intros and minus the lebanon clip, adds up to  
about an hour.

URGENT - does anyone know what the exact running time of the show for  
PCTV needs to be? is it 58 minutes?

ALSO - who is available for the chatham studio on december 2nd? (i  
myself am likely to be in cleveland that weekend.) seems like 5-6  
people would be needed to fill the following roles:

- host (anitra)
- director/switcher (tricia)
- camera (perhaps x 2)
- chyron/text
- video cueing & control
- other production assistance

FINALLY - tricia reports that we can come in with with a mac  
formatted FW drive and run the video from the studio's computer. so  
that should make things a lot easier.

to wit, i think we should put everything on the pgh imc fw drive -  
including the stuff that's on DVD. one folder for the entire show,  
with all the relevent clips & segments.
