Hello everyone in the School of English, Media and Performing Arts,
I am writing to you to let you know that the Australian Museum is
looking for students to participate in a program known as Agent 1 (
http://www.australianmuseum.net.au/blogpost/Are-you-the-next-Agent1 ) .
We are looking for a special ‘blogger agent’ - someone who wants to take
on a short mission for the Museum and its audience, and
blog/tweet/youtube the entire process as they go. The winning applicant
will become our Agent1 and win a free Sony Bloggie valued at $295.00.
Further information can be found at the web address above.
As a theatre, film and English student in the 90s, I thought students in
this School may be interested in the project.
Thanks for your time and please excuse the mass email - our deadline
runs out this week.
Regards,
Deborah White

Useful notesmdcm3002-08_-packaging-lecture
There is a lot to think about when you have to Exhibit your work!
It is however really worth while when you take the time to package it with some consideration.
This need not be a costly or time consuming exercise, but it does need to be considered and you’ll be happy you did! This is all part of the whole thing!
Imagine someone says, I love your work, could I have a copy to show a festival or prospective employer..they are more likely to keep your work close at hand if its nicely packaged.
Please find attached notes to help with this and some templates that may help and save you some time.
Keep it simple and have fun with it!
I will put some CD & DVD insert templates into the class drop boxes on the school server if you would like to use them.

Here are some handy links to get you started with Apple’s motion graphics package Motion;
- Apple has a basic overview of the capabilities of Motion
- Ripple Training has some nice intro tutorials here and here.
- lynda.com has been doing software tutorials for a long time and here are some nice over view tuts.
- Creative Cow is always the best place to find comprehensive tutorials and technical solutions.
This sounds worthwhile getting along to;
Friday on My Mind at AFTRS this week ‘Storyboarding Universe’ – David Russell is one of Hollywood’s top conceptual illustrators who cut his teeth on Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Since then, he has created key sequences for over 100 productions including Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Batman, Terminator 2, The Thin Red Line, Moulin Rouge, Wolverine, Sanctum and The Chronicles of Narnia. He shares with us the secrets of capturing cinematic style and action at the crucial planning stage.
This Friday 5pm AFTRS Sydney – all welcome!
The Project Proposal aims to present your ideas in a way that brings it to life for the reader, so we can understand the sorts of ideas you have in your head using a common shared language. It is a proposal and so if you have not started making, that is normal, you are proposing to make. If you like use examples of other work to help describe an approach you’d like to use…a screen grab etc
Instil confidence, so your reader thinks, yes this person knows what they are doing, and don’t send your PP to your tutor via email unless they have specifically asked you to do so!
I did address this very specifically in the lecture but a reminder to all about this!
I spoke about using metaphor “like fingernails running slowly down a blackboard” etc
or in the style of …eg acid rock, punk, “musique concrete”, etc 1920s
or why not visually? sound can be portrayed visually with line, this process will help your creative process.
Use try using a storyboard to organise your intended soundtrack, to show the simplicity or complexity of sound being used, the highs and lows.
A “sketch” isn’t always about drawing a picture of something:) You are sketching your idea!
have fun with it, Best Alyssa.
