Thu. Mar 30, 2023, 5:00PM to 6:20PM

The essential objective for today is to present and critique the project proposal from each group.

Announcements

Looking ahead, next class (April 6) we will address technical questions for both programming and lighting design. The following week (April 13) we are off for Spring Carnival.

The details of Pharos system access are now published as Technical Resources: Remote Access.

Each group should select one or two members to act as bridge system operator and send Garth an email listing identities. Garth will then distribute access keys and additional instructions. The operators should schedule a time soon to test uploading a new Pharos project to verify access and practice the process.

Nighttime sessions to test out material on the bridge can be scheduled using Garth’s appointment slot calendar. Garth will be available via Zoom for the first remote session with each group. If no times work, please email Garth directly with requested alternative times.

Project Proposal Presentations

Each group will have roughly fifteen minutes to show your storyboard and hear comments.

Assignment 3

Due: noon on Thursday April 6

The project handout is available on the Project Brief page. As per the brief, during the next class we will review your technical proposals and discuss specific implementation strategies. Please prepare by working out a general technical plan for review. Please be sure to note any technical questions for which you would like guidance.

Please remember there are materials on the Technical Resources pages which may be of help.

Deliverable: blog post for the group with the following:

  • notes on the technical implementation plan for each section of the overall composition
  • proof-of-concept implementations for key components
  • a list of unresolved implementation questions
