Since January, 1991 the 24 -Hour <br />Courthouse Project Team has worked closely with Southern <br />Media to write and edit descriptions of county department <br />activities; select video shots; write and edit voice <br />narratives for video shots; finalize the design for the kiosk <br />(cabinet that will house the computer hardware); and <br />shoot video footage. <br />The contract with Southern Media excluded video shooting <br />which reduced the amount by $4,520. The video shooting was <br />donated by WTVD. Free video shooting reduced the cost of the <br />project, but extended the project by several months. The <br />cameraman from WTVD donated 4 to 6 hours per day twice a <br />month. Video shooting began in September. If the County had <br />purchased this service, video shooting would have been <br />completed within one week or by the end of September. <br />The cameraman also viewed many hours of archived video <br />footage and WTVD donated this footage to the County. <br />
