Hi hack mates,

We brought in some additions to the basic picture composition using supplemental Artemis generation concepts or constructed designs from NASA sources.

We're facing challenges as to the techniques to be used for the pitch, currently debating whether we do a voiceover or subtitles, whether we need to add a composer to the team to come up with an original score (in which case we would be needing to use captions instead of a voiceover so that the two tracks would not overlap).

If there is "anybody out there" that feels she or he is in a good inspirational mood for a 30 sec score, just ping in Chat any one of the team members, preferably Amala, so that she'd have a first chat with you and then hopefully add you to the team.

keep calm and keep on hacking everyone!

Happy hacking spaceapps hackatonites!

Wrapping up the 1st day of work. WOW! What a day!

Team members became quickly acquainted with each other (aside Amala and me, we just met each other by a happy trail of events!). We were all so happy to realise how many common passions and interests we share, most of which are viable and functional links between the team members.

Roles became apparent almost seamlessly, concept definition and research phase were intensive for the first part of the day:

• Amala is managing the team (time-lining tasks, organising topics, to do lists, research, ensuring requirements are met and keeping things roll safely),
• Emilian is in an amazing shape, a composition and creative "machine" of a distinct talent (we're sure he'll make a huge new crater on the Moon :-),
• Razvan is the mission science officer, making sure the concept and composition are technologically and scientifically-proof. He's also had some mission-threatening events averted by a series of inputs and remarks that put the project back on a safe track,
• whereas yours truly, I found a good corner to do the storytelling, copyrighting, directing, sharing info and thoughts on NASA missions’ history, equipment and basic astrophysics.

The message and concept were defined, permitted sources were identified, raw composition is 80% done!

We're all energised by the high pace of the development of our work, quickly having to adapt functions and actions in order to ensure the project requirements and the work efficiency, and thrilled about how everything is going.

Tomorrow we're set to finalise the composition (Emilian is expected to do a heavy payload test of his talent and navigate through a zillion of options and real time suggestions by the rest of the team). Amala, Razvan and me will start crafting the pitch and the project description (lots of ideas there, but a first copyright/draft has already emerged!).

Keep hacking everyone!
