- Dear august members (present company excepted) of Oliver Ames ’72,
- As Noreen noted on Facebook, we tossed the idea around of a short video – not unlike the one we did in 2012 (<–click to view).
- Independent of above, I had been thinking about a video set to the tune of “When I’m 64” (<– click to hear) for a certain marital occasion in 2018.
- Then when Noreen e-mailed me – I thought “who else do I know that may have recently turned 64 or will in the near future”?
- I seem to recall over 100 people who once lived in Easton, MA who might be in this group.
Step 1
- Step 1 is finding out who is interested in contributing photos/videos to this noble effort (or perhaps just “effort”)
- We know we have these esteemed alum!
- Linda Burak
- Jay Lupica
- Gail Miller
- Kevin Mullen
- Patty (the Virginian) McAndrews
- Charlene (Richard) Pontbriand
- In addition, I think we have Jeff Bergeron.
- We know we have these esteemed alum!
Step 2
- Step 2 will be a modest outline of sorts and getting material together.
- For example: if you listen to the song – the chorus has that staccato: “When …. I’m … Sixty …. Four” – think 4 different people saying each word … or a growing collection of faces as the phrase progresses.
- Second example: early in the song, there is an instrumental part which ends with “you’ll be older too” ß think a sequential flash of old photos / new photos.
- I set up a Dropbox folder to house photos and videos.
- For example: if you listen to the song – the chorus has that staccato: “When …. I’m … Sixty …. Four” – think 4 different people saying each word … or a growing collection of faces as the phrase progresses.
Step 3
- Step 3 is editing above. Looking at the calendar – we’d want to have everything together by11/12/17.
- So let me know on Step 1 above – via e-mail and/or I’ll try to monitor Noreen’s OAHS ’72 Facebook page.
