Last Minute Stuff

 * For tomorrow, Andy requested that each of us formulates questions (about digital art, other people's work, etc...) because after the films are shown there will be a question and answer portion. It'll be a discussion about digital art and our work, so please prepare questions for the discussion.

We also need face-to-face people to bring laptops (whoever has one) so they can be the "conduits" or the connection between onliners and the forum.Anyone who can bring, please write your name below:**

Tim Pickup


 * Andy has also emailed all the course leaders, and the BA Graphics design leader said he'll be requesting for his students to go. It's also been uploaded to facebook (as suggested by the student union since all the students go there). It's on the Camberwell page as well as the UAL page. So if you're on facebook, check it out.**

What is digital art?
The Digital Arts students present a collection of short films showcasing their project proposals. Wednesday 14th November in the Large Lecture Room at Wilson Road, 2pm. Everyone welcome.

We will use the Blackboard chat room for online students to join in the forum live. This will just be projected alongside the videos. The live videos will be broadcast by Andy so you know what to chat about. There will also be someone in the room - typing comments made, questions etc. (maybe Tim) We will be testing this out over the next couple of days.
 * LIVE CHAT DURING FORUM**

Andy has booked the room in Camberwell from 1pm to 5pm. An hour is allowed for set-up - so the forum will start at 2pm. It will be open to any student to attend. The forum will be presented as a collection of short videos on a 'Spectrum' webpage. Katrin has agreed to introduce the forum and then click through our videos. This should take one hour - to be followed by up to an hour of debate.

=IMPORTANT= Videos will be needed to be uploaded to Google Video/YouTube ASAP THE CUT OFF DATE IS FRIDAY NOVEMBER 9 at 6PM. Links ahould be supplied to Tim or John (for online students) or pasted onto this page - this is to allow time maybe for a last minute chat or discussion here on the wiki and a rehearsal. Anyone who thinks they will be unavoidably late please advise Tim or John Cheers, JW.

Each person needs to supply two things:

1) a link to your video which you have uploaded to google video or youtube. **(You Tube preferred - to keep format common to all, see Spectrum web site - jw).**
Each student has to make a 2 minute video which is an introduction to their own project. This video can be in any style you want - narrative, documentary, art film, abstract, interview, pop video.... It is up to you, but it is an opportunity to introduce people to your project. In the video IF YOU WANT TO you can choose to highlight in what way your work relates to the question 'What is Digital Art?'.


 * Andy said today that the videos should act as an introduction to your project. It is a good opportunity for you to excite people about it. Several of the videos uploaded here tell the viewer very little about their project. This may be OK for some films but would be a wasted opportunity if everybody did the same. You will not be talking about your film at the forum, the video must stand for itself. Sorry to be a pain in the ass people, you may need to rethink. Patrizio's video is more the kind of thing Andy had in mind. (Tim)**

When you have made the video do not give it to Andy / Tim / John. Instead upload the video to Google Video or YouTube. MPEG4 (Divx, Xvid) format 320x240 resolution MP3 audio 30 frames per second but lots of other formats are OK to upload (Mov / Avi / Mpeg4 / Divx...) see their websites for more details. All formats will be converted by Google Video/ YouTube to a standard FLV Flash Movie so it can play on any browser.
 * (You Tube preferred - to keep format common to all, see Spectrum web site - http://web.mac.com/one211/Spectrum/Welcome.html jw).** To do this you will need to becaome a member of one of those sites (which is just as easy as giving a password). Then follow the instructions on those sites about how to upload your video. The recommended format for your video before uploading is:

Once you have your video on a webpage copy the URL of the page and paste it: see examples below.

==2) You also need to provide a small image which will sit on the spectrum page and link to your video. Post the images below or send them to Tim directly. (good still images will give the spectrum page a better look, jw)== If you do not send an image then we will just use a frame from your video. Mieko's image Adriano`s image Nikos's image
