Web Centric Digital Interactive Press Photo Module

"Humans smile with so little provocation"
- Mr. Spock

Definition
The module is intended as a supplement feature to an existing event. Flexible elements in the creative development include format, content, function, and delivery. We can work with your staging / marketing company or our own resources to provide the necessary personnel and equipment to produce the show. The web module does not contain budget data for designing, building, assembly, or shipping of the stage hardware elements. However, Spectre Management can if required, produce this and other elements such as original stage sets, lighting, printing, large posters, backdrops, lanyards, laminated tokens, and other hardware / software needs.

Vision
In a prominent area within the midway of your event is a stage set designed to the format specification of the event. This stage exists as a prop to photograph participants within the creative element and upload them to the Internet for publishing. Individuals posing on the set for a picture will receive a lanyard with a laminated token and a pin number associated with their photo. When individuals access the "event" web site address, a page will be provided to enter the access (PIN) code issued. They will be taken to a page where their image is located. This page can be printed, captured and saved, or emailed with their browser.

 

Project / Production Management
Spectre Management will be responsible for total project management regarding the module. This includes securing a domain on which to stage the tour web site; assemble and program the modules necessary to publish the site; secure the server for staging the Domain; integrating the database application and web programming used to distribute the digital images. Database programming, setup, and web server is provided by Spectre Management. Server space is leased for a minimum 3 month period. Server leases can be extended to 6 or 12 months. Spectre Management will work with all 3rd party vendors for successful site deployment.

Creative
Spectre Management will design and develop a professional web site suitable for your interest. We will work with your supplied content and direction to design the site to blend with your current theme. The Basic web site is designated as a 5 page interactive module with substantial database integration. The 5 pages are:
 A main page
This is the main URL to the web site. Regardless of other content this page will have the interactive PIN code to view the digital photos.
Graphical Instruction / Help Pages
These 2 "help" pages will aid the user on how to capture their images to their computer.
Copyright Page
Copyright and Trademark and legal information are to be approved by client.
Photo Page
This is the page that is built when the PIN number is entered on the main page. It is also a theme page with Logo and background theme. Background is not saved or printed with the picture.

The Live Events - Crew
Spectre Management will provide on site, a professional photographer for live digital acquisition of images and a Computer Operator / Webmaster to prepare, upload, manage, and maintain the images published to the site.
Spectre Management will supply one high-end image editing workstation and digital camera equipment with accessories. This equipment may be portable or depending on requirements, designated as an On-Site system that will travel with the show. Marketing, promotion, props and stage setup, electrical, security, and provisions for weather are provided by the client and are the responsibility of the staging vendor.

Shipping liabilities are the responsibility of the client. Shipping to the first event and from the last event are included in the estimated budget. Travel, Accommodations, and Per Diems are arranged by Spectre Management. These charges vary depending on travel requirements.

Artwork
Artwork, content, theme, and direction are expected from the client. Artwork is available from Spectre Management for a fee. Original artwork is copyrighted by Spectre Management, Inc. Spectre Management grants the client the rights to use this artwork for publishing to this theme.
At the request of the client, artwork may be found in the public domain. If so requested, the client will be responsible for copyright clearance and usage charges. Any type of imagery other than standard text is considered artwork.

Programming
Programming, also considered coding or authoring, is charged by the hour.

Database Programming
The Database programming necessary to document city and PIN code with the associated photo taken at the event is charged as a set price relative to the estimated usage.

Story boards and Client Review
Story boards are created to aid in client review while in development. A web site will not be built without first creating a storyboard approved for publishing by the client.

Usage Reports
Reports about site usage are available and are part of the web site maintenance process. There is no extra charge for this feature. The Webmaster uses Web Trends to compile these reports.

Video Supplement
Videotape of a special event session involving participants. Each video is recorded in real time with DV Cam. Some examples may be an Air Guitar contest, sporting event, battle of the bands, any competitive game, or any client skit / idea on video. The video segment is edited to approximately 1 minute in length, digitized and optimized for delivery via the Web site. The video conversion will be local to the event (on-site systems), archived to CD media and shipped via overnight delivery for uploading to our servers.

If this is a contest, a poll can be taken from Internet users accessing the web site and a "winner" selected to be in a prominent area of the web site.

Information Gathering
Forms can be created to collect information from users accessing the web site. These forms are customized to the needs of the client and are considered as programming charges.

Guest Book
The addition of a Guest book can be used to gather certain types of information as well as allow public feedback about your tour event. This information can be used to create a list of email addresses of those that sign the guest book. The guest book is closely managed by the webmaster to edit inappropriate and off topic content. This module is highly configurable by the client.

Click on the book to read some of the comments from past events.

Postcard Software
Spectre Management can create a custom Electronic Postcard feature that will allow users of the web site to choose specific images and message from an image list and send them to an email address as a link. The person that receives the "Greetings from" email clicks on a link that resides on the event web site. This "postcard" can greatly increase traffic to the site. Up to a total of 5 Postcards compiled from client supplied images can be used in this application.

Three Dimensional Interactive Photos
A very popular visual treatment in photography is 3D immersive imagery. These images allow the web site user to be "inside" of an environment and navigate as though they were standing in the middle. They can use their mouse to look around in any direction and even zoom in on an area that they are interested in. Popular uses are with real estate, automobiles, hotels and resorts, and landscapes.

Souvenir Tokens and Lanyards
The art department at Spectre Management is ready to incorporate your theme graphics or to create new artwork for printing the souvenir tokens. After printing, these tokens are laminated and ready for lanyards. The tokens are given out when a PIN number from a photo has been issued.

We will be happy to quote on any of these services with regards to your event.
