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

- 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.

- 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

-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:

• VIZA 613: 9
• VIZA 643: 3
• VIZA 622: 2
• VIZA 654: 2
• Independent: 2
• VIZA 685: 1

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????
