Wilson Family Archive Welcome!

Hi family--

Welcome to the Wilson Family Archive blog. Here, I hope we can share information about our common family artifacts, including (and especially) the "Wilson Family Films" DVD.

I'm looking forward to reworking the "WFF" DVD into a disc that will be easier to navigate. To do that, though, I need your ideas, information, and perspectives. Who appears in these movies? Who shot them? How might editing better order the clips? Perhaps we can an edited version of the WFF circulating by next Christmas!

Here are some suggestions for posts on this blog:

1. Title your posts with information about what you're offering. For instance, I'm going to title my next (example) post "'Wilson Family Films' title sequence."

2. Time code your posts with the hour, minute, and second(s) you're referring to on the WFF DVD. In my next post, I'm going to be offering some sample information about the Video Fair guy's title sequence, which appears at the beginning of the DVD. So, I'll time code my post something like 0:00:00-15.

3. Share what you know about the sequence you're describing. Consider also offering multiple posts to describe multiple sequences.

4. Label your posts using the label box on the Blogger interface. For this post, I've provided two labels: "welcome," and "WFF." If this blog grows as long as I hope it will, we can use the labels to help us sort and retrieve information later.

5. Sign your posts (with your initials, at least). I'm going by my full set of intials: JGWD--Jeremiah Gregory Wilson Dyehouse.

Thanks! And have fun!
