This year at Open GDNM we will be recording the talks and workshops, for this we will need some volunteers to help out with the filming and such like, there are three roles which people will rotate through and we need coverage for all three days (1st, 2nd and 3rd July). You will obviously be able to watch the talks whilst you’re there and learn how all the equipment works.

Signup in the comments stating your availability and email address.

Camera Operator
Operating a camera at the rear of the venue to follow the speaker, some people will stand still, others tend to walk about.

Vision mixer
Watch the video coming in from each of the live feeds and select which of the three to switch to, also responsible for lighting changes at the beginning and end of the talk and monitoring sound levels.

Audience control
Use an iPhone to check people’s tickets as they arrive, and ensure that the people that remain at the end of a talk have tickets for the next talk.

This year like last the GDNM degree show will also feature a programme of talks and workshops, and is located just off Brick Lane at The Rag Factory.

We have workshops covering programming, and hardware, through to pin hole cameras. With talks from the likes of Troika, Filip Vijnic (CreativeApplications.net), Nina Pope, Yuri Suzuki, and many more.

There is a great range of stuff going on and to help students bare the financial burden we are offering two discounts!

New Media students get 100% off the first 100 tickets sold using this code:

Could you all attend a session will me at 2pm tuesday in 210 where i will go over the project and semester hand-in and the show etc. THIS IS IMPORTANT.

Olly will be available in the morning for production help.

Any questions ask in the comments.

— UPDATE —
It has been pointed out that this clashes with your CS briefing to accommodate this we will still meet in 210 at 2pm as planned we will then go to the lecture theatre together and i will do the hand-in briefing with the CS briefing.

I have had a couple of emails regarding emailing the design industry, advise below.

- Be clear in your questions i.e. what are you tiring to find out.
- Don’t ask anything you could find out elsewhere this comes across as lazy.
- Research your subject before hand.
- check your spelling.
- don’t ask more than about 5-6 questions as this is enough and people will not respond to lists.
- Some example Q&A’s from Sagmiester: http://www.sagmeister.com/node/58

PS: If no one gets back to you it is fine to do this project entirely from secondary research.
PPS: I will post a hand in list soon.

For Friday you are asked to present you research findings so far i.e. tell us what you have found out. This will give us an indication of your progress and you will also benefit from the findings of others.

Format: put 10 key findings/insights facts on a pice of paper to discuss in your groups, your group will then be asked to suggest what you should investigate next giving you direction for next week.

Please attend in the groups as below and check the times carefully.

- Group 1 10.30-11.30
- Group 2 12.00-1.00
- LUNCH
- Group 3 2.00-3.00
- Group 4 3.30-4.30

PS attendance had been slipping so could you make all efforts to attend this session as there are not many feedback opportunities left this semester.
