Tom had the assistance of two very knowledgeable
and capable high school students, Chris Lemcke and
Dominick Forsello. 'We couldn't have done this without
them. I was very impressed. They knew more about
the equipment than the company that rented it to
us.' In the photo above Chris monitors the three
Apple computers used to run the slide show, and
record what was captured on both cameras and the
sound track of the entire event. 'Nick' and Chris
coordinated a lot of diverse pieces of AV equipment
to made sure there were seamless transitions from
one portion of the class to another.
