There were many days of preparatory work in researching, finding, selecting, rights-clearing, digitising, etc. the clips. Lona Wharton and Gareth Morris did this at the BBC and Dafydd Pritchard did this at the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales.<\/p>\n

During the actual week of the workshop, before the individual two-hour sessions began, Katrina Kirkwood of Valleys Kids had spent time with each individual, showing what was available and logging individuals’ choices of which footage was relevant to their story.<\/p>\n

Yes, in the initial BBC-facilitated workshop, we were lucky to be able to get BBC video editor Carwyn Jones to work with us. He’s a community-oriented, sympathetic, skilled, professional video editor. Because this was our pilot workshop, to reduce the number of variables, I decided that individual storytellers would work one-on-one with the editor. The storytellers actually took on the role of ‘director’ of their own movie.<\/p>\n

Katrina developed the model throughout the life of Rhondda Lives and she sometimes encouraged storyteller to get a lot more hands-on, as far as the editing was concerned.<\/p>\n

I think this model would work splendidly for Cheryl Colan’s local Historical Society Museum. Good luck if you decide to go for it.<\/p>\n
