Sleeping Beauty part 5

Sat Apr 28 04:14:13 UTC 2007

I would agree with Valerie. I think it is better when a text is  
obviously from a video to transcribe it as it was signed on the  
video ... sloppy or not. To me, the purpose of creating a document  
from video is to create a snapshot of the person's style and how they  
would tell the story. So, to do justice to the person, we should  
transcribe it exactly.

At the same time, during the editing process, we may discover certain  
grammatical errors or "pronunciation" errors or that sort of thing.  
This will be more easily fixed in the printed text than on video.  
Like Steve said, we would have to revideo that whole segment if we  
were trying to fix the video.

Thanks,

Stuart
