Videos

It was good to see the varied approaches to the distortion assignment. There were some promising results. Well done to Mia and Gisella. Your videos worked particulary well.

Take onboard the various comments made at the screening and edit. This refining process is an important part of finishing the work. While it's a nice feeling to get the work done and out of the way, standards will rise in Sem. 2 and there is a requirement for a more finished result. You will be assessed on how flexible you are in engaging feedback and refining your work.

Issues of Sound:

If you are using music make sure it is copyright free or you have permission to use it. It is not acceptable to use a piece of copyrighted music, just because you like it and it helps your video. Sorry.

In some instances the music detracts from the artistic merit of the video. I encourage you to think of using sound effects (there are many free sites), voice over or a even some variation of sound level.

Those of you who didn't screen your work or who rushed it, there will be another screening and assessment of the videos in Semester 2 Tuesday 26 July (2nd Tuesday back).
Digital Painting:Please have your images ready for the first painting class next Semester. See the brief in Moodle.

Have a good break see you back on the Tuesday 19th July .

FEDERATION SQUARE "FIRE" SELECTION

I received this email from Jenny regarding your films. Congratulations to Mia, Madeline and Seb.

Students from past Chisholm IDM/ V. Art classes were also selected including Kosar, Raneth and Yvonne.

Unfortunately, The final dvd that FEd square put together had problems with two pieces: Madeline and Seb. These two will be taken out of Fed screening and shown later in the month at Dandenong Drum Theatre and Thomas street. Can Seb and Madeline please provide a Quicktime of these films asap.

David.

Dear all,

I just wanted to update you on the progress being made with the short films submitted for inclusion in the Nocturnal (winter arts program) in Dandenong and concurrently as part of The Light in Winter at Fed Sq.

There was an initial selection process conducted here in Greater Dandenong before the films were submitted for a second selection process at Fed Sq.

The outcome is that the following films have been selected to be screened in June 2011 at the following locations, as part of 'The Light in Winter at Fed Sq' and Dandenong's 'Nocturnal' winter arts program;
randomly on screens throughout Fed Sq including the big screen
nightly at Thomas Street projection space (250 Thomas Street Dandenong)
nightly at Drum Theatre (East facing window in Walker Street Dandenong)

Yvonne Picot
Kosar Majani
Yukiko Michishita
Matt Cole
Nadine Chamas
Mia Lindblom
Madeline Stanton
Sebastian Guzman
Raneth Keo

If you could assist with advising the artists of their successful selection I would be grateful. They are named participating artists in the Dandenong Nocturnal Night Walk catalogue and I can gladly forward copies to each person.

Please contact me with any questions or clarification
