This "how to" workshop guide provides an overview of the entire videodisc authoring and production process through six individual modules. Focusing on project planning, the first module provides guidelines, procedures, and job aids to help each instructional development team member effectively use the videodisc medium. The second module describes design and authoring, including the design of text and graphic formats, the computer program, storyboards and orientation material, and special effects and animation. The third module provides details on how to prepare production lists/scripts, select available masters, select talent and music, lay out the disc geography, and plan the production. Production is described in the fourth module, including production of video text frames, animations, art, photographs, and print; shooting location and studio video; recording and editing the audio; and writing the computer program. Special attention is given to the use of video still frames. The fifth module, which focuses on post production and premastering, describes procedures for conducting off-line edits, making the master tape, and entering the videodisc computer program. The final module explains procedures for the mastering stage and for intergrating the computer program with the videodisc. Guidelines for designing interactive videodisc touch panels and voice input are appended. (LMM)
