1991-92: Design project at The Film Board, Editorial Board.

Two researchers were engaged in the Editorial Board consisting of one production manager, four editors, three secretaries, and one technician. We clarified needs for computer support for managing the overall production of films. The research goal was to develop and test ethnographic techniques. The project lasted ten moths and comprised in total 14 weeks of work from the researchers.
