Data Entry for Film Footage-Europe

Our production company films many hours of footage about buffalo/bison and related topics, plus interviews with experts that need to be logged into excel spreadsheets for information retrieval during the editing process particularly for our European footage. We would like to collaborate with students in the data entry. This will involve several different steps for the students, including: Familiarizing themselves with our simple, yet detailed, database structure. Transferring data into our databases efficiently, so that is it organized and easily retrievable. May require some research into identifying animals and locations, and noting interviews with experts (names, positions, locations - not transcriptions) Bonus steps in the process would also include: Providing assistance in creating new databases, and conducting research for marketing documentaries.
