Recorded Commentary Service Application

Permission to Show Program to other NECCC Clubs

NOTE: The Commentary, Adjustments, and Adjustment Steps tutorial is considered a good learning tool that NECCC would like to share with other Clubs. Please indicate below if the members of your club are willing to have the full tutorial commentary made available to other NECCC clubs. No club will get to see the tutorial in the same season it was seen by your club.

Important

1. Commentary will be provided to the club using Dropbox and should be playable on either MAC or WINDOWS platforms.
2. Allow at least eight weeks lead time; two weeks for the Director to arrange for a commentator and notify you who it is and another six weeks after you are notified who the commentator is between the time the images are mailed to the commentator to the time your club intends to use the commentary. This will ensure that your commentator will have at least four weeks to work on the commentary and still allow plenty of time for uploading. The more time you give, the better the commentator can do with the commentary. Do not send any images with the application!
3. PLEASE NOTE: several of the people recruited as commentators are usually not available in the last three weeks of September and the first two weeks of October. If the Director cannot find a commentator for commentary during that period, he will request an alternate date.
4. All images for the commentary only or the commentary with examples should be submitted as PSDs or JPGs and sized for 1400 pixels x 1050 pixels. Images in commentaries that include adjusted images will be JPG images in the same size format.
5. Image filenames should start with numbers to put them in the proper order for the Commentator. Suggested filenames are nn-image title-maker name.jpg.
6. Enclose a list for the Commentator indicating the number, title, and maker’s name written in full.
7. Most Commentators will record the commentary on their computers and will provide the commentary via Dropbox.
8. Please do not ask for this service where the Commentator would need to prepare his or her comments in December. It’s almost impossible to get a Commentator for December. Please give the Director plenty of advance notice when using this service.
9. Please do not submit this application until you have a commitment from your members for the necessary images. Only club members who are willing to have someone else edit their images should submit images for commentary.
10. These commentaries are intended as educational opportunities and not competitions. Images should be submitted with that in mind.
