Thou shalt use Verdana
Thou shalt create a title slide with a text height of 32 point and a byline of 18 points
Thou shalt export a .MOV file using H.264 compression and 24 frames-per-second
Thou shalt export the movie at 800 pixels wide by whatever height makes thy video proportional
(Thou shalt not letterbox)
Thou shalt not export stereo sound, but mono
Thou shalt not covet a smaller file size (100 MB is OK)
Thou shalt not be vain and credit thy Web site at the end of the project

Update: Meeting Dale Graham

Hey, Gang!

Instead of posting to my own blog (which is frequented by my grandmother and other folks not privy to the photo world), thought I'd touch base and tell you what's happening with my final project...

Upon David R.'s guidance, I contacted a photographer named Dale Graham. He worked as a pharmacist most of his life before turning to photography. Now, one of his pieces ("Windmill on the Prarie") hangs in the Museum of Modern Art. He lives in Fayette, Mo., with his wife Maureen. He still shoots and uses 2 1/4 square and 4x5 film.

He's agreed to meet me in "Downtown" Fayette on Saturday morning. We plan to walk around and talk. I'll, of course, take my camera. We just had a lovely chat on the phone, and I look forward to our initial meeting.

I'll let you know what transpires!

p.s. David R., Dale says, "Hello!"
