After class today, Emma and myself set up the feedback table in the gallery, with lightbulb fairy lights and the hanging strings of mini pegs. I have made a sample card so that people know what they are to do with the display when they interact with it. (All going well).
I decided to move all the floor cubes together so there is no gap. There was no simple way to align them so I ended up recreating the entire floor from a single object. The pause menu works now too, just need to add in the sprites for the buttons and test that I have linked the buttons correctly to their functions. 90% of what I have left is purely cosmetic thankfully, so I am in for a busy weekend.

Report
ThinkAndCreate is next week, now is the time to get stuck in and get everything planned out/completed. We are nearly there.
Matters Financial
Budget is just over $2000; we are currently under budget by $1000. This is in line with previous years however Thomas would like to spend more on decorations. Thomas appreciates the in-depth catering budget. Kathryn has brought up that no-one is signed on to access the account and we will need an available student to do this. Thomas has volunteered to do this.

Awards
– Max has chatted with Dave Oshry; he was already planning
to come to Invercargill, so we do not need to pay for his accommodation. All 3
judges can attend in person for the judging on the 11th Nov. A
judging room is still needed for them to view the submissions. Kathryn is going
to check what rooms are free on the day. A new 3rd year award has
been created called the Returning Artist Award which will be the 3rd
year material fees prize category. Zeta and Max will be working on the program
for the night. Kathryn still needs the physical entry forms given to her.
·
Catering
– On track, the subcommittee just needs to discuss when they
will go and purchase everything, and when/where they will be making the food.
Zeta has tentative date for 11th/12th Nov. The current
hope is for PaknSave to come through with catering sponsorship due to the lack
of response from Bakers Beyond.
·
Evaluation
– Cards for feedback are all cut out, we need to organise a
table, fairy lights and pens for the display. The master evaluation document
now contains all current meeting minutes, all current meeting agendas, final
Version Press Release, Lanyard Concepts and Final Design, Logo Concepts and
Final Design, Certificate Concept. Still required: Sign-up Sheet Design,
Finalised Certificate Designs, Event Programme Design, Advertisement Poster
Designs, any in-development/sketches of anything designed for Think and Create.
Evaluation feedback cutout design. Still to enter: Meeting Minutes from
Subcommittees, Thanks to sponsors / Contributions, Artist Poster Designs. We
are hoping to use the Boom Room for the group report debrief on Friday 13th
starting around 11am. We are hoping to provide food for lunch from the leftover
budget.
·
Fashion
– Fashion rehearsal was on Sunday,
there was a few no-show models that were axed from the list. For the most part
it was ok, but there were teething issues around who is in the booth on the
night. Too many people were trying to organise things, George has talked to Ash
and Ian will be the only other person in the booth, apart from 1 stagehand to
do cueing. Next Weds from 2:30pm onwards, Ash will be in Centrestage rehearsing
and has requested Ian to be there with him. No audio student will be needed as
Ash will help Ian with audio. On the show day, fashion will be starting
technical things at 3:30pm, dress rehearsal at 4:30pm. The full itinerary is in
the fashion discord channel. The full program and certificates were sent to the
Printery yesterday, to be completed this week. Roslyn? is away next week so
other committees need to keep this in consideration for anything they need
printed. Fashion has requested access to Centrestage as early as possible on
the 12th. Judging was on Sunday; they were impressed with the
selections and enjoyed the free lunch. Tracey met with Rosalie about
requisitions, she has been messaged to say they have arrived, and she can go
pick them up. Catering receipts have been given to Rosalie.

Installation
– Sunday was the physical install, it was fairly successful,
thank you to everyone who came along and helped. This Friday Install is going
to add some decoration to the walls to fill in space between exhibits. Later
today Thomas and Chris are going to purchase spray paint and safety gear. Bella
will be making stencils for the walls. This will be installed on Friday after
5pm. The Poster deadline has been extended to Friday 5pm and some do need
resizing to the A2 for printing. The required print details are in the discord
General channel. The first 20 submitted will be in glossy poster paper print,
the rest will be the sticky paper. Any that are not high enough quality for the
poster paper will be printed on sticky paper instead.
·
AV
– There was an audio student confirmed to help on the night,
but they are now no longer required as Ash will help Ian in the booth. All
videos will be reviewed on Monday for selection, Tuesday will be editing the
chosen files together. No progress with acquiring dragon frame laptops yet,
Edwin will chase that up with Chris M on Friday. There is a rumour going around
that there is a test screening in Centrestage, this is not correct however AV
would be interested in doing this if they can get access. Oisin wants to come
in on the 9th to check over his submission, Edwin will talk to him
to sort that out. AV will try to come in on the 12th before the
fashion dress rehearsal, to do a test run in Centrestage. Kathryn is emailing
to see if we can extend our booking to full day instead of from 6:30pm.
·
Marketing/Design
– Graffiti art is planned for the gallery spaces and main
office area (As discussed in the Install report). There is a concept on the
discord, anyone that is free to help is welcome. Edwin suggested that we get
the feedback table/lighting set up on Friday. Two certificates are left to sort
out, we still need a name for the 2nd year material costs award.
· Sponsorship – Follow-up calls were made to potential sponsors; Art Supplies will provide a gift basket. Noel Leeming seems very keen to sponsor, we will hopefully hear back by end of the week. EB games said they are unlikely to be able to help but they will consider it. Zeta is waiting on a few more calls from places, Liquorland cannot legally sponsor us but might be able to do a good discount and potential gifts. Bakers Beyond is unresponsive at this stage, so now we are looking to Pak n Save to sponsor catering.
General Business
Becca asked for clarification on the start time of the night due to different times on posters/media posts. Ushers will start at 6:30pm, fashion will send Becca a list of where the VIP guests will be sitting. Becca will create an itinerary for the night, for the students and where they will need to be and when. Signs are still needed to direct people to the green screen room and photography room, to get ppl down the hallway. There are currently 17 posters submitted which will fill the hallway down to the rooms or we can use graffiti. For the sake of cleanup, the direction signs will be printed. Ben has a question about the game posters. Rachel suggested we make posters for the games so they can be placed beside each game in the Kea room. Sticky paper was suggested for this, so we do not damage the wall in the Kea room. Zeta will follow up on green screen room access.
There being no further business the meeting closed at 11:16am.
Next Meeting
The next meeting will be held at Rm236 on Wednesday, Nov 11th, 10:30am.
Submitted, but I ran out of time and so the current final quality is something I would rather forget. I definitely prioritised Game Design over all my other classes and left it too long to actually produce something good quality. The watercolour brush backgrounds took a hell of a lot longer than I thought they would which meant the details that I needed were rushed and incomplete. Ideally I would have liked to go back in and add some linework to areas to help define them, and play with the tones of some pages to show more variation between panels ie the floor in the supermarket. Ultimately this project is just a big disappointment that I hope I dont fail.
