The video production staff at Communication Services produce professional-quality DANR videos from scripts that have passed technical peer review. Information on script preparation and peer review for videos is available to all interested DANR staff. The basic steps for submittal, peer review, and production of slide sets and slide-tape sets are listed below. The AE has the option of refocusing the idea. The AE or a Communication Services staff member provides the client with an Instructional Program Development Plan to help the client shape the project.
Early scheduling is especially important for seasonal subjects.
The AE works with the client to ensure that the reviewers' comments and suggestions are incorporated. The AE decides about programmatic acceptance of the script. If the video will recommend pesticide use, the script is sent to the Statewide Pesticide Coordinator for approval. The AE sends the approved script and its MF-21V submittal form to Communication Services so that production can begin. Communication Services assigns a DANR reference number to the video.
