The producer meetings are mix between chaos and organization. Our fearless leader Zach Wise sets out to make sure that each individual issue is covered, but sometimes in a project this large it is impossible to plan for everything. The people that are working on the design and technical side of the Web site sit in on corner and debate over hundreds of different color combinations that might be good for the Web site, while the content producers focus on individual contacts and how specifically each piece is going to come together.
For once we are outside enjoying the spring weather that Athens nearly forgot to give us and this week we are meeting outside. While talking about projects quotes like ‘When I approach it is like I am about to give him bad results form a VD test’ are said as the air is jovial but still poignant.
During this meeting however people are all together and Zach has promised a short meeting. Things on the site are starting the come around although there is still some dispute over what the Soul of Athens really should look like. Projects are starting to be finalized in idea if not execution. It looks like everyone is going to finish the shooting in the next couple of weeks.
Editing is the step after that but we have hardly even started to talk about that. All the producers know is that the final project is supposed to be ‘tight.’ The final pieces are going to be short and entertaining blurbs about what Athens really is.
As for me I know my favorite part about Athens is the weather and finally getting the chance to have a meeting outside is a God sent.
