Kham 2006-07 Project Credits Technical Documentation

Contributor(s): David Germano, Chelsea Hall, Nelson Walker III

This wiki is intended to provide a comprehensive accounting of the individuals and institutions involved in the 2006 and 2007 film projects in Kham. This includes standardized definitions of the roles of each participant:

  • The following terminology describes the roles of those involved in more standard documentary work in 2006:
    • Cinematography: Whoever shot the footage
    • Producers: Whoever was responsible for the logistics
    • Interviewers: Whoever asks the questions
    • Field editors: logging and editing work in the field.
  • The following terminology decribes the roles of those involved in the 2007 Participatory Video work:
    • Filmmakers: Would refer to the participants involved in the project. I prefer this to "director" as it is more inclusive of the shared responsibilities of filmmaking (ie cinematography, sound, as well as direction), whereas director is a specific role involved in overseeing all of these things (rather than doing them).
    • Facilitators: Would refer to the person facilitating the filmmaking process (ie cecil, myself, perlo). We didn't really have a direct hand in conceiving of the films, but were responsible for making them happen.
    • Producers (or Special Thanks): Would refer to anyone in a supervisory/logistical role in getting the project off the ground (ie Losang, David, etc…)
    • Editor: Whoever puts together the footage

The following page contains a trilingual table of names, roles, and institutions involved in the Kham films: translation glossaries for credits.
