TAOLB Interview Workshop - Images to Bring to the Next Meeting

To the next meeting bring Photos and other Images that help tell your stories. Video is a visual medium so we need images to bring your stories to life. 

We will have a scanner set up and photos and images will be scanned at the next meeting.   If your images are already in digital format (great!),  please bring them on a CD.

Tiff files rather than jpeg
If possible, bring high quality original .tiff files rather than jpeg.  Tiff are higher quality and are easier to work with. However, bring whatever you can.

On a separate 8.5 x 11 piece of paper write up an explanation of each image. We need this to help us when we put together your story in the video.  See below for some examples.

First inspiration story examples
For the “first inspiration story,” bring visual media that visually helps tell your story. We can copy it all to digital video. A few examples are;

• Old photos,
• old Super 8 film
• Video of any sort
• Digital images on CD would be great (we have a PC)
• Photos of you around the time of your story
• Any artwork you may still have of that time. For example, if a teacher inspired you, a class photo, artwork you did at the time.

Story of the inspiration of an art piece
For the “story of the inspiration of an art piece.” bring photos and art that visually help tell your story. A few examples are;

• Photos and images of art work  that the story is about.
• Photos and images of you working in studio or on art, etc.
• Photos and images of the inspiration for the artwork.

Story of your experience with the Richmond Art Center and TAOLB

• Bring any photos you have from previous TAOLB years and functions.
• Photos of you in front of your art work, etc.

Below are a couple of Sample photos from Joan and Edwin. This may give you some ideas of types of images to bring.

Sample 1: Joan was inspired by the praise and encouragement she got from her teacher during a ballet recital she performed as a child. This led her to develop a love of all kinds of dance.
