REMINDER -- next week last class

A reminder that last week will indeed be the last class.

Be prepared to spend 25-30 minutes for each presentation (that will allow everyone equal/ample time and afford us a break).

I stopped by the CPS office tonight to pick up evaluation sheets and they said that they might be online now (?) I'll find out.

FINAL PROJECT specs

1. Project spec/brief
2. Detailed project description including project workflow/timetable -- if you secured funds (for final class)
3. Visual mock-ups of your concept (photoshop, flash, handdrawn, powerpoint slides, videos) (for final class)
4. (personal) statement -- akin to artist's statement, author's statement, "About the President of company x" A to Q: "Why are you doing this?"(for final class)
5. In class presentation (moderate and field comments, direct discussion)(for final class)

Final Project Idea

My final project idea is to create a video podcast which deals with the commercial shipping industry. Using shiptracker.com and a vessels IMO tracking number, we will locate where a vessel is in the world currently, display that information on the screen and conduct a small interview via Skype or perhaps a short E-mail correspondance. I believe this would be entertaining and enriching to people's lives because it would give them a glimpse into a world that they do not encounter and it would also be an effective way to use multimedia to show the complexitites of the shipping industry.
