WNIT producers and directors met with Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins, Michelle Bormet, mayor’s secretary, Jennifer Whitaker, Warsaw human resources director and Warsaw building and planning department officials to discuss the documentary concept Tuesday morning at city hall.
WNIT contacted the city about doing the program.
WNIT has previously produced ‘Our Town’ documentaries on Goshen, Elkhart and South Bend.
WNIT previously taped “Dinner and A Book” episodes with Syracuse resident Rebecca Kubacki and Winona Lake resident Dr. Dane Miller.
The one-hour “Our Town” video documentary will feature the people, places and happenings of Warsaw and Winona Lake as experienced by those who call the city and town home, according to Kelsy Zumbrun, WNIT producer and director.
There will be mandatory videography training July 12 and 13 for those who are interested in serving as videographers from 5 to 7 p.m.
A location for the training has not yet been set and story assignments will be reviewed and approved at that meeting by WNIT officials.
Volunteers will be asked to attend a pre-production organizational meeting to answer questions about the project.
The meeting also will provide an opportunity to brainstorm a list of subjects to videotape. From the list, each volunteer will receive one shooting assignment and is free to tape anything of interest related to that subject. This will prevent several volunteers from covering the same locale or subject matter.
Videographers will shoot stories about what makes Winona Lake and Warsaw great on July 17-24.
On July 26 and 27, WNIT officials will meet with the volunteer videographers from 2 to 8 p.m. to go over what has been filmed.
Plans are to select approximately 15-20 videographers that must be approve by WNIT officials. The content the videographers shoot also must be approved by WNIT staff.
There will be no cost to the city or town for the filming of the project, and local companies will be asked to underwrite the project, according to Angel Hernandez, WNIT vice president of production.
The program would be made into a DVD at a cost of $50, and videographers will get a free DVD.
The documentaries will be edited in July and August, and a private screening for videographers and volunteers will be announced for August.
Plans are for the documentary to air Aug. 21 on WNIT at 8 p.m.
Dave Baumgartner, WCHS film teacher, attended the meeting and said he would be willing to serve as a videographer and recommend some of his film students to assist with the project.
