On Tuesday, I reserved a library room for our miniature Directors Meeting that we scheduled for Wednesday night. I also began photoshopping all of the images needed for the animated sponsors slide as well as sequencing/layering them within AfterEffects. I am still waiting to receive all of the UNCW-oriented sponsor logos to further progress my work on this animation.
On Wednesday, I added the sound effects for the V6 Trailer Animation and uploaded the completed project to the Directors Page to receive feedback. For those who commented, they suggested that I slowed down some of the text movements to allow ample time for viewers to read it. I also researched how to act as a Moderator for a conference. I found two helpful articles on this subject, which are listed below:
"How to Moderate a Panel Like a Pro"
https://hbr.org/2013/05/how-to-moderate-a-panel-like-a
"How to Successfully Moderate a Conference: A Comprehensive Guide"
http://www.web-strategist.com/blog/2008/01/30/how-to-successfully-moderate-a-conference-panel-a-comprehensive-guide/
These articles allowed me to develop in-depth questions before my meeting with Dr. Kase. His advice was very helpful. Dr. Kase emphasized that we should not dictate the conversation during the conference block, but to fuel conversation between the audience, the panels, and even amongst the panelists themselves. Rebecca and I are now more comfortable with our role.
On Thursday, I made the changes asked for the V6 Trailer animation and uploaded the intro and event detail mp4 files to the Art Department Folder-->V6 Animation-->V6 Trailer Animations.
On Friday, I updated the Assignment Schedule after receiving (some very late) art requests. I sent my department a link to the updated Assignment Schedule spreadsheet and required each person to respond that they viewed it. I also began a rough on Design 1 for the Event Slides. It is Melies-inspired, depicting some images from A Trip to the Moon. This design is reminiscent of Michelle's badge design, nodding to a hyper-realism look of the UFOs and planets.
On Saturday, Michelle, Zoe, and I had a Marketing/Art meeting to discuss the remaining details needed for the Program, wording required for the Event Slides, and how to organize the Program. Michelle also gave me great advice on how to polish Design 1 of my Event Slides. I worked on this design for most of the day and finally completed it. I am very happy with how it turned out and I hope the class will allow it to be used for the event. I also began drafting ideas for Design 2 of the Event Slides. This design will hold true to Michelle's art deco approach for the Event Poster and Program. I plan on including a silhouette of a cityscape, a UFO, and a beam that will highlight the Event Slide's topic.
On Sunday, I completed my second design for the Event Slides. This design, like I planned, stays similar to Michelle's Event Poster design. I finished a sample "Welcome" slide, "Film Block 1" slide, and "Non-UNCW sponsors 2nd tier" slide for each of my designs. I also completed my Event Slide Powerpoint, which I will be presenting this coming Tuesday.
On Monday, we had an Art Department meeting where we discussed improvements needed for the website and went over Tyler's progress with the After Party Installation. Michelle and I also began discussing the format needed for the program and we plan on having an individual meeting about this on Wednesday to finalize the program.

Week 10
On Tuesday, I emailed Dr. Kase to set up a meeting to discuss my role as the Conference Block Moderator. Rebecca and I will be meeting with him on Wednesday, March 23rd, at 4pm. I also emailed Aaron about taking the Visions6 staff photo. We scheduled this for April 5th at the beginning of class.
On Wednesday, I created a Manual Quiz for both Tyler and Carson. In creating this, I noticed how much both the Animation and Website manuals are lacking in clear/detailed instructions.
On Thursday, I received printing Badge quotes from Evonne. For badges with color on the front and B&W on the back the amount of 250 would cost $60.68, the amount of 300 would cost $70.22, and the amount of 350 would cost $80.76. For badges that are all color the amount of 250 would cost $91.31, the amount of 300 would cost $106.11, and the amount of 350 would cost $122.48. After I received this quote I updated the V6 Spring Printing Spreadsheet (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1LiIiAI3nal5whjIlge-wZ1qDZ6mqA6KprqjC5nm68HY/edit#gid=0) and the V6 Printing and Purchasing Manual (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1B2S6sKSNwGVUQKhP-3h67iWuC-HADTZpE0UXXrhcZu8/edit).
On Friday, I collected the Manual quiz grades from the Art Department. I also continued my work on the V6 Trailer animation by scouting for sound. It is extremely difficult to find audio suitable to what I want. So far I have looked through http://soundbible.com/ and http://freemusicarchive.org/. A friend of mine also recommended https://musopen.org/ so I will look through that as well.
On Sunday, I emailed Shannon the Manual quiz grades for the Art Department. I also updated the V6 Art Scheduling Manual, which can be viewed here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CiQHDUWOgP70-uiDnRPk9vazicHqv7swzqMukY6T28k/edit). I included how I created an Art Assignment Spreadsheet in addition to the Google Calendar to clarify due dates and assignment details. For the manual, I also went into detail about what needs to be included in the spreadsheet, a screencap of my spreadsheet, and the effectiveness of color-coding.
On Monday, we changed our Art Department Meeting to this day because conflicts arose due to availability on Saturdays. Unfortunately this means that Marketing and Art will no longer be able to meet together, but Zoe, Michelle, and I have decided to meet on our own to discuss our joint Departments before the Directors meeting on Friday. We will look over the website with Carson and discuss the roll-out schedule with him. Tyler will be presenting us his progress regarding the After-Party installation as well as the presentation he has prepared for Tuesday's class.

Week 9
On Tuesday, Adrienne gave me a list of sponsors needed to be included on the Sponsor Slide animation. I still need to receive a list of Supporters from Indiegogo that need to be included in-between screenings. Tyler also uploaded his completed Video-Race animation, I reviewed it and the only issue was that the registration date needed to be updated to the new date, March 18th.
On Thursday, I began to gather image materials for my Sponsor Slide Animation. I plan on creating an animation that has the Sponsors assorted from largest (the top) to smallest (the bottom). I will arrange them as the aliens in the game Space Invaders. The ship and the bottom of the screen will shoot each Sponsor logo until it reaches the top. I may assort this same animation into two different segments; UNCW sponsors and Non-UNCW sponsors. Tyler uploaded his updated Video-Race animation and I sent to Devon. She loved the animation and approved it.
On Monday, I sent out an update on the Art Assignment spreadsheet and made sure everyone responded that they saw it. I also gave Aaron the first round of V6 bumpers to screen on the monitor at King Hall. Both will play within a 20 min loop, one every 10 minutes. I will return in 2 weeks to give Aaron the second round of V6 bumpers. I also submitted a quote request to Evonne for Badges. I asked for a quote for the amount of 250, 300, and 350.

Week 8
On Monday, I sent the finalized Event Poster to Evonne to print. I told her I would like to receive them by Thursday so they could be mailed before Spring Break. I charged the posters to the CE account.
On Tuesday, I completed a Spring Printing Budget spreadsheet detailing the current quotes for posters, mailing, programs, and badges. I sent this to Shannon and I updated the V6 budget spreadsheet as well upon Shannon's request. I also uploaded all of the confirmed GMU student/faculty attendees into Hayley's badge registration spreadsheet. After my presentation in class, I emailed Heather Bailey about how we wished to use GMU student volunteers as aids for social media. I have not yet heard a response. Kevin also returned the mailing envelopes to me addressed so I can mail the Event Posters out by Friday.
On Wednesday, I updated the Art Assignment spreadsheet and forwarded it to the staff. I also requested for the staff to send me a list of what they wish to accomplish over Spring Break. This assignment will be due on Friday.
On Thursday, I picked up the printed 11X17 and Marquee Event Posters from Evonne. Then, I went to the UNCW post office to receive a quote for postage for the 11X17 Event Posters. Each envelope weighed 2.55 oz and would cost $1.42 each to mail. To mail all 30 it would cost about $42.60. Later that day, I prepare all the addressed envelopes for mailing by folding the poster and putting it with the cardboard inserts for stability. I also updated by Printing cost spreadsheet and manual.
On Friday, I gave the packaged Event Posters to the UNCW postal services to mail. I also gave Zoe the 70 Event Posters she needs to post for marketing.
On Saturday, I began the intro animation for the V6 trailer. I am creating a Star Wars- inspired intro/text. I also began conceptualizing the Sponsors/Supporters slide animation. I think I am going to have a space invaders arcade game theme where the ship will shoot the Sponsor logos among the alien icons. My goal is to complete a rough animation for each of these projects over the course of spring break.
