This job has 2 elements:

1. Video material

You need to watch material from the period with a view to
create a 100 clips, as follows:
40 -50 songs
remainder: comedy / general reminiscence material

You will then review them and time mark relevant content, (2-3 mins in length) so it can be passed to our video editor to do the final processing.

Initially you will be provided with the relevant source material (dvds). Later you'll be expect to source suitable dvd material yourself. expenses for this will be covered.

Each clip needs a simple title page

Lyrics for the songs identified above will need to be researched and formated ready for printing (in pdf format).

Prepare simple background info on all chapters from wikipedia etc (pdf). examples

Post finished product to Daily Sparkle

2. CD production
