== First meeting ==

The '''[[Optimists' Photography Workshop 2024/Flyer development#First draft|first rough draft of the flyer's text content]]''' was drafted by John Dippoliti & Jason Carswell, 2024-06-06.

The information within the flyer must be verified as accurate. (Graphic designs will come later.)

To do:
# Content to be finalized.
# Design to be drafted.
# Design to be finalized.
# Distribute (printed flyers or as images shared online).

== Project Outline ==

[[John Dippoliti]] and [[Jason Carswell]] are pleased to present our project outline to teach kids the fundamentals of photographic (and video) composition, 2024-06-06.

This is the beginning of a casual discussion on how we might improve this event's planning and execution.

=== Goals ===

We're looking for assistance, collaborators, and donations in exchange for cross-promotion and public awareness. At this point, far in advance of the September event, we're not even certain of everything that we can offer, much less what we need. In short, we're still brainstorming ideas of what we can provide to the kids for a memorable, fun, and teachable creative photography experience.

Students may bring their own cameras and phones as our main priority is a focus on the fundamentals of image composition, rather than the diverse technicalities of various recording devices, which of course we'll try to help with. Importantly, kids would learn how to use their own gear, rather than technology they may never see again.

=== Included in this outline ===

[[File:Optimists' Photography Workshop 2024 flyer.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Optimists' Photography Workshop 2024 flyer.jpg]]

You may find these works-in-progress are yet to be finalized.

# [[Optimists' Photography Workshop 2024/Flyer development|Flyer development]] draft, then design.
# [[Optimists' Photography Workshop 2024/Photography Fundamentals|Photography Fundamentals]] booklet draft.
# [[Optimists' Photography Workshop 2024/Assignments|Assignments]] booklet draft.

Feel free to share suggestions to improve them.

=== Fundraising ? ===

With the Optimists fundraising goal of $500 and a suggested donation of $20, we'd need to enroll 25 students. Those numbers are all flexible. If you think these numbers are too steep, unreasonable, etc. we'd like to hear about it and why.

We'd love to hear ideas on how and where to enroll interested participants - both students and teachers.

=== <strike>Buses ?</strike> ===

<strike>We don't yet know if this is practical or not, but perhaps we might meet at the Optimists Park (1075 Ypres Ave) to have a bus shuttle the kids out to LeClair Cottage at 1pm to return at 5pm. We're calling around to find out more.</strike>

=== Expenses ? ===

There's not much, but it's worth listing, nothing set in stone:

* <strike>bus rental (Optimists Park round trip, 1pm to 5pm)</strike>
* ☑ [[Jason Carswell|Jason]] bought 6x 128gb MicroSD memory cards for digital media, 2024-08-03.
* photo printing
* photo framing
* water? + cooler? + ice?
* promotional flyer-posters for businesses' front windows
* quarter-page flyers (quartered 8.5'x11' sheet of paper, to self-print and cut)
* printer ink

=== Potential Prizes ? ===

* camera(s)
* good printouts (VistaPrint?)
* matting & framing (with hanging hooks & wire)
* photo frames (Walmart, Dollar Store, Value Village, etc.?)

=== Potential Teachers: ===

* [[John Dippoliti]] 519-982-5500, [[PlugNPlay Productions]]
* [[Jason Carswell]] 519-903-0560, [[Janglers Animation]]
* Vincent ?
* Windsor Media Centre ?

== Noteworthy ==

Don't share this outline with anyone via email, text, etc. You may show it to folks on your device in your control for their direct feedback in person - just don't let an incomplete draft out into the wild.

I'm scraping a bunch of pages today to read through for reference to compile a class lesson.

Feel free to inquire about a school bus:
: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=school+bus+rental+windsor+ontario

Optimist Community Centre
: 1075 Ypres Ave, Windsor, ON N8W 1S1

LeClair Cottage
: 2465 County Rd 19, Tecumseh, ON N8N 2L9

<strike>At best we can have a ride donated, or we might be able to rent one, and at worst we won't but will know how much it is for 5 hours on a Sunday.</strike>

+ no bus (liability)

+ rain?
: = week later and/or indoor shoot
: - verify with Elton's Uncle
