Pete Carmichael's vibrant personality, kind heart, and passion for Civil War history has left an indelible impact on the Civil War community. Thanks to the generous assistance of Matt Callery of Addressing Gettysburg, a video project is in the works to permanently capture a wide range of reflections on Pete’s impact on the broader Gettysburg College community as a teacher, advisor, scholar, colleague, and director of the Civil War Institute. Students, alumni, faculty, staff, community partners, and CWI friends with stories and reflections to share are encouraged to submit a brief (90 second) video tribute for inclusion in this video project.
Submissions should be kept to no longer than 90 seconds, and must be received BY OCTOBER 15. Questions can be directed to Ashley Luskey at aluskey@gettysburg.edu.
Instructions for Submission
- If you are using your cell phone to film your tribute, please be sure to position it in landscape orientation, and NOT portrait. We need the image to fill the screen.
- If you know how to do so, please go into your settings and make sure the video quality is 1080P (it might just say 1080) and 30fps (frames per second). If you can't figure that out, no worries. We will find a way to work around this; however, if at all possible, getting the settings correct on the camera will save editing time.
- If you don't have a microphone to use that is separate from your camera, make sure you are recording in a quiet space, preferably with a rug/carpet/furniture to absorb echoes. Cars work well as filming spaces, if you don't mind appearing in a car!
- Please speak clearly and project your voice! Before you send the video along, please listen to it. If you have any distracting noises in it, please record it again without the extra noise.
- BEFORE YOU BEGIN YOUR TRIBUTE, please, slowly and clearly say, then spell your name/title, etc. and how you were affiliated with Pete.
