Extension, please!!...
The University is CLOSED FOR THE WEEK?!...
I don't really understand how we are expected to meet the deadline for Thursday the 1st of February when the University is closed on that week?! As far as I understand, we have NO ACCESS TO ANY MULTIMEDIA EQUIPMENT, or the necessary editing/filming equipment we need to put together our 3-minute promo!! I think we seriously need to get an extension until Thursday the 8th of February if this is true. This is totally beyond our control...
Anyway, here's how the land lies...
We're still working under the assumption that there will be no extension, and we're scrounging-around-for-equipment here, access-to-someone's-house-where-we-can-use-editing-software there, and it's not looking like it's going to be as good as it could be if we had the proper facilities.
We've got our script done, storyboard done, and filming, with "green screen", done (but we don't have a DV Camcorder to stream footage off the tape onto the computer for editing!).
I, as project manager, am currently working on the Project Report, including our project goals and research (to be published with our script and photographic storyboard). I need access to Photoshop and Dreamweaver to finish developing the mocked-up images of the website...with no access to University Macs, this will be very difficult...
Adrian, our Chief Producer, is currently trying to get hold of a DV camera to stream footage off the tape we used when shooting the promo footage against the green screen, and will have to do the editing at home (luckily, he has got a copy of Final Cut Pro at home...I don't think all the groups will be so lucky, which is also why I think an extension is necessary). He is also looking for some background images to set as the backdrop to our actions and make it look like we were "on location" to a certain extent...
Ok, I'm going to get something to eat, because I've been working on this for a few hours now!
Ill continue the update in a bit...
