Format for Guilford County Commissioner online video debate

• Each candidate provided 9 questions for consideration.
• Each candidate was provided the "veto" ability over 5 of their opponents questions.
• This gave us our 8 questions.
• We did 4 separate recording sessions, 2 with each of the candidates.
• The candidates were never in the same place at the same time.
• The answers were recorded using a webcam that was taped to the top of a PC.
• At the first recording sessions each candidate was required to keep their answers to around a minute.
• Each candidate was allowed as many "takes" as they wished to present the answer they wished.
• Neither candidate saw the the others answers to the questions until all answers had been recorded.
• We then exchanged answers between candidates and gave appropriate time to prepare responses.
• We then did a second set of recording sessions were we provided the candidates the ability to respond to their opponents answers or extend upon their previous answers.
• It was in these second recording sessions that we recorded the opening and closing statements.
• We then posted the entire production to the internet unedited.
