Selection/Rejection

Both the book and the website are a bad idea, because they would both be far more work then the video. When doing the website I would just about end up doing a video or writing a book first so there is no point. As far as the book goes I would still need to take many pictures and create diagrams. It would be far easier just to video tape what I need to show people rather then describe. I decided to do the film alone, mostly because I work better alone then with other people. I fear that if other people are filming they will miss something I won't pick up on until editing, and then have to go back and film all over. I still intend to voice over the entire video because there will be less interruption from the machines being used to build the rod in certain steps. Without the voice over it is a possibility that the rod lathe will be too loud for people to hear what I have to say. The sounds you hear when building a fishing rod are not important to the process. The voice over will give people a much clearer understanding of the entire process. I plan to make two rods one oscillating and one regular. They will be using the same colors, but have different handles. They will also have matching guides and reel seats. If only one rod is made then the viewer might not get enough instruction to make a rod, or they might not want to build one with oscillating guides the first time.
