Divying Out Responsibilities - 3/26
This week I took advantage of having a few underlings under my wing and doled out some responsibilities. I charged Chris Potter with contacting every faculty member and determining whether or not they would require space in the screening for a class reel. I charged David Monroe with creating a screening reel draft that would help us figure out the timing and pacing of our reel thus far. I will then look over the draft, making changes where necessary.

Review VizaGoGo 17: 3/7
Some of the Screening Group members (David Monroe, Chris Potter, and myself) reviewed the reel for VizaGoGo 17 from Spring 2010. This was a continuation of our study from last week in order to get a better idea as to what this year's reel should be like in terms of length, style, content, etc. The following are the observations I made:
- Final run time: 1 hour, 7 minutes
- Final run time: 1 hour, 7 minutes
- Started out with a video from the summer course
- 5 total interstitials
- Interstitials averaged to around 1:30 each.
- There were bumpers before each interstitial indicating a separation from student work.
- 5 total interstitials
- Interstitials averaged to around 1:30 each.
- There were bumpers before each interstitial indicating a separation from student work.
- The bumpers were done very effectively, and added to the reel.
- 8 total class reels, interspersed throughout. Some were good, some not so good, but done better than Vizagogo 18
- 4 total summer course projects, interspersed throughout
-Student work shown in groups of 1-4, interspersed throughout
-Artist in Residence course video not included, but video about summer course was
- 8 total class reels, interspersed throughout. Some were good, some not so good, but done better than Vizagogo 18
- 4 total summer course projects, interspersed throughout
-Student work shown in groups of 1-4, interspersed throughout
-Artist in Residence course video not included, but video about summer course was
-End credits had behind-the-scenes photography of filming interstitials, and this added alot to the credits. Very effective.
Things to find out about:
1) How are we going to include class reels?
2) Are there any other video "extras" that will be included this year?

Jurying of Fall Works: 3/2
Jurying of Fall Work took place on Friday, 3/2 at 10:30AM-12:30PM in the curved room.
I organized the event, printed out handouts for jurors to write on, and tallied up votes afterwards with Chris Potter.
Below is a review of the jurying itself, as well as the juried works:
-9 people showed up to jury, the group consisted of a mix of class reps, working group leaders, and screening group members.
-There were 19 works that were considered to have a majority in favor, meaning they got a 6:3 ratio or higher. These works will, unless otherwise specified in the future, be on the reel.
-There were 12 "Maybes", meaning the works had a ratio of 5:4 or 4:5. These works will be kept on file until after the Jurying of Spring Work, when their inclusion into the show will be determined based on available space.
-Class representation for selected projects is as follows:
Things to find out about:
1) If a project won an award or was exhibited somewhere, should it get automatic admission?
2) If the student no longer attends the University, should his work be considered?
3) CLASS REELS????

Review VizaGoGo 18: 2/29
Wednesday, 2/29
Some of the Screening Group members reviewed the previous year's reel for VizaGoGo 18. We did this in order to get a better idea as to what this year's reel should be like in terms of length, style, content, etc. The following are the observations I made:
-Final run time: 1 hour, 2 minutes
-6 total interstitials
-First and last interstitials were the longest at around 3 minutes each
-Middle 4 interstitials were rather short, more like bumpers than anything else. About 20 seconds each
-6 total class reels, interspersed throughout. Some were good, some not so good
- 3 total summer course projects, interspersed throughout
-Student work shown in groups of 3-6, interspersed throughout
-Artist in Residence course video included
Things to find out about:
1) Where do we get Summer Course 2011 projects to include in the show?
2) Are we going to do class reels?
3) Are we going to include an Artist in Residence or "Idea Lab" video this year?
