Water Resources Planning Movie

Every month our department has a meeting that includes all of our staff. It takes place around lunch time so we can eat together and hang out. At these meetings, a division or staff member is chosen to provide a presentation on their functions. I volunteered to help the Water Resources Planning division with their upcoming presentation.

We thought about having a game that would allow interaction with the audience. It was suggested that we play "Scene It". This is a game that shows pieces of movie clips and you have to guess the title and/or actor. We thought we'd take video of each function within this division and show 1 minute clips to our audience and have them guess what they were doing.

We took video of our Water Conservation Specialist, our Water Quality Specialist, our Wetland's folks, our Water Planning Coordinator, and our Water Planning Manager. We got such great footage that we decided to skip the game and turn it into a movie.

I had heard that one of our Planners in Development Services had created a movie for their department. So, I thought I'd ask him if he was interested in helping put ours together. He agreed and we created a pretty entertaining but educational movie.

My goal was to set the bar high for the next month. Ever since our movie, every presenter after us has not disappointed our efforts.
