[pct-l] 2010 PCT video!

[Cari and Pete Tucker]

Greetings, 2010 PCT hikers,

Hiking season is over and it’s time to work on the 2010 class video!
We met many of you on our southbound stint and warned you that we’d be
asking…  We’re looking for your trail pictures, video and music
suggestions.  We sent individual emails out, but I know we missed some
folks—37 bounce-backs from a list of 340!  If you didn’t get email,
PLEASE let us know at  pct2010video at gmail.com so we have your contact
info!

MUSIC
Do you have music suggestions?  Email to pct2010video at gmail.com and
let us know!  Sooner is better than later, since we’ll be working on
the preliminary soundtrack while waiting for photos to arrive.  We’re
open to just about any genre –Rock, Folk, Jazz, Classical, Hip Hop,
and in fact would like to use a diverse range of styles.

PHOTOS
•	We’d love your 100 best shots (of scenery, that is…)
•	Please send us ALL of your photos that include hikers or trail
angels (Our goal: include every 2010 hiker in the video at least once.
 Beware!  We’re not above using the Heitman’s mugshots if we don’t
have anything better! :-) ).
•	Your best monument 78 celebration photo if you finished the trail
this year as either a section or thru-hiker.

Photos are ideally in .JPG format but we’ll take what you’ve got!
Feel free to clean them up in photoshop or a similar editing tool, but
please don’t reduce the resolution—we need the best quality image
possible for a good video.

If possible, tell us what we’re looking at by adding a description.
Don’t delete the photo number assigned by your camera (it will help us
keep things in sequence)—just add on the description.
For example:
P0030542 – Windy Pass.jpg
P0020234 – Hiker816 Idyllwild.jpg

As long as we’re asking…it would also be great if you could sort into
five folders by location:
Southern California (Campo to Kennedy Meadows)
Central California (Kennedy Meadows to Sonora Pass)
Northern California (Sonora Pass to the Oregon border)
Oregon
Washington

VIDEO
Wildlife, hiker antics, anything that captures the trail experience
would be perfect!  We can manage almost any format, but like photos,
would really appreciate you specifying the location, as well as the
names of the hikers, if known.  Please place each video in the
appropriate folder (i.e. Northern California) based on where it was
taken.

SEND TO:
Pete and Cari Tucker
5419 Morningside Ave
Dallas, TX  75206

Note: unless you only have one or two photos, please don’t email; our
mailbox will explode!  Burning your photos and video clips to a DVD or
CD is ideal—if you don’t have a burner, we can use thumbdrives or SD
cards of any size (be sure to include your return address if you want
your drive back!)

Deadline for photo and video submissions is January 15th, 2011.

Spreading the word
Anyone you know we missed?  Please pass it on—more input = better video.

Thanks in advance for your photo submissions and music suggestions!!
