Re: Request for Funding

I am supportive this.  As everyone probably knows by now I have been involved in a project to record videos with the various garden owners to promote the 2022 AIS Convention.

It has been a challenge to to arrange a time to interview more than one garden owners in a day and coordinate it with the person that volunteered to be my cameraman.  We conducted three of the interviews on a less than desirable day, despite a weather forecast that was much better.  The result was interviews with an unacceptable level of wind noise.  I ended up going to a professional and he told me the videos were not salvageable and fortunately did not charge me a fee.

The end result is I have to do the three interviews all over again.  I did purchase some inexpensive video support equipment that should yield better results.

If I had what Neil purposes buying lended to me I could have saved myself a lot of time.

I know our agenda is full. but Madame Presídent suggest I submit this anyway:

As previously outlined I propose that we purchase a set of sound equipment from Saramonic. This kit would include a two broadcasting units consisting of  a clip on microphone box and attached lavalier microphone option, and a receiver unit for for a  high quality DSLR camera with mini plug input.  ($200) In addition I would also purchase 2 receivers for smart phones or other video devices. 1 unit would be a USB-C commotion, the other an Apple “Lighting” connection. ($80 each). This set would cost   a total of $360 + tax.  My Request is a motion for "up to $400 to cover high quality audio equipment for video recording."

This would be used to allow me to work with others to record interviews in person with hybridfizers and others.  I already have my own set.

To make this successful we would need volunteers in various areas of the country to work together to learn how use this equipment and best practices for recording an interview.  This presumes that participants already have a video device and a stabilizing unit such as a tripod.

It is my intention that this becomes a turnkey training opportunity.  Pleas consider becoming involved or recommending someone in your are to participate.  

I will be glad to answer further questions via email or at our next Board of Directors meeting.  to minimize discussion time at our meeting please email questions to this list.
