Committee narrows Day‑1 digital portraits: cattle, governors and early mining
Summary
The subcommittee selected three stories for the initial 'Portraits of History' digital activations — cattle (including Johnson County context), colorful officials linked to the governor's portraits, and early mining — and asked DI to develop 90‑second scripts and production options within existing GMP scope (three activations funded).
The committee reviewed proposed short digital narratives for a vault‑style Portraits of History activation and prioritized three stories for launch day: cattle (including the Johnson County War / Potter’s Bull context), stories tied to governors and gubernatorial portraits, and early mining and the South Pass City / Carissa Mine story.
Tom, who led the story review, said the video pieces will be concise and narrated — “these are all 90 second videos,” he said — and DI will work with scriptwriters and the historical society to compress content into effective short features. DI noted the current GMP funds three activations; adding more would require additional scope or phase funding.
Committee members debated Ezra Meeker’s inclusion (some said his story is less Wyoming‑centric) and agreed that the chosen three better connect to themes of state identity and the Capitol’s collections. DI will return with production proposals, image and voice options (governor narration vs. voice actors), and associated costs for any content beyond the three activations already funded in the GMP.
Next steps: DI to develop creative briefs, sample scripts and budget options for file‑stage review and to confirm which stories will occupy rotating slots after launch day.
