I have contacted the young man who filmed our Camp Shakespeare Hamlet several years ago and turned out a remarkable DVD for everyone. He is now a Junior at Texas Tech in Film, working this summer for a film company in Houston. He is available to film the performance on Aug 14 and as well do some filming of the group from Aug 12-14. Here is how he explains it to me:
I am available for a three day shoot, August 12 through the 14. I can produce two DVD's: one of the performance and one with footage/ interviews/rehearsals . If I factor in all my hours and equipment the cost of production will be 2,000. I will do it for you at half rate. So 1,000. I could charge a reasonable rate on the DVDs and have the rest covered by Windale or we could spread the cost out over all DVD sales (25 DVDs @ $40). I will be ready to work on it by shoot day.
So what do you think? Would each of you be willing to contribute $50.00 toward the effort? And have the DVD's free. Or guarantee him purchase of 25 at $40.00?
Let me know. He is holding the dates open.
