A tentative date of April 2, 2005 at 10:00 a.m. was set for the workshop.
Mr. Goldfarb also advised the Committee of the need for additional equipment – a key light and an adaptor cable (from microphone to recorder). The key light can be purchased on ebay for about $200.00 and the cable adaptor locally for around $20.00.
Ms. Marx moved to approve the purchase of a key light and cable adaptor that will meet the needs of the Committee not to exceed $300.00. Mr. Miller seconded.
During discussion, Mr. Goldbarb mentioned the need for a tripod specifically for video equipment. The tripod being used for practice interviews does not have a fluid movement required for more professional interviews.
