Updated Video Script
Background – This was my original idea for the video section.
I will try to find a series of pictures or footage of a look at the Chesapeake Bay.
Starting off with a map, I will have the camera diagonally move in the northwest direction up the Chesapeake Bay into Baltimore and Annapolis demonstrating the access points for distribution.
Then, I will show a series of seafood selections that come from the bay ending on Maryland Blue crabs.
I will fill out the remaining time period (approx. half the video) around pictures showing a crab feast. This is a huge part of the region’s culture serving as a year-round Thanksgiving celebration but much like the time periods of cookouts with big families.
Even friends in high school and college schedule feasts together and purchase the ingredients or buy them steamed.
I will try to get pictures showing the dirty orange wood crab houses that steam the crabs. There is a unique color scheme I will demonstrate throughout the video to show the relation between the color of the crab when it comes out steamed with the Old Bay seasoning that drapes numerous products ranging from chips to fries.
Narration
“The Chesapeake Bay has been the driving force of Maryland and its surrounding communities since the 18th century.
Impacting other major trade and distribution points including Cape May, Philadelphia, and even Washington D.C.
Evidence of these major communities’ grass roots are found still today through sports, food, and downtown Baltimore. The true personality resides in the manufacturing and industrial revolution history of Maryland.
The foundation of hard work and nationalism is what the Chesapeake Bay community has always been about since the establishment of industrial manufacturing factories such as Bethlehem Steel and Westinghouse.
Easy settlers expanded up the Maryland coast using the Chesapeake Bay and founded communities such as Annapolis and Baltimore.
These communities took advantage of the fruits of the bay.
The bay increased access and transportation of goods throughout early America.
By the mid 1800s, cities like Baltimore and Annapolis continued to increase in structure and organization.
This paved the way for Industrial Revolution jobs around the bay surrounding major cities funded by large corporations.
Construction and Industrial manufacturing developed a personality similar to Pittsburgh, PA and the steel city.
With Maryland blue crabs being the center point of the seafood industry in the region, the hard shell resembles the thick skin developed from generations of blue-collar workers.
This feeling can be felt on the crabbing boats, with their dense thick grains developed out of hard wood from the region.
The saltiness in the air can be found in Baltimore around the Inner Harbor, around the ships and naval yards in Annapolis, and in all the communities within an hour of the bay.
Grit, hard work, long hours, camaraderie between workers, family life all developed into what Maryland is about today – referring to their high volume vacation spots such as Ocean City, MD.
Looking through several foods, we see the connection to bay food still today.
But overall, there has to be a push for environmental responsibility.
Volunteering and living family life responsibly with recycling goes back to the renewed interest in the longevity of the area and the bay.
There will always be a dependence and reference to the bay in the region.”
