Thesis Prep Topics for Scott
This is an ongoing list that the entire class will edit.
Scott's responses are in bold.
- Resources
Availability
- Thesis-level priority on the soundstages (so we can't be bumped by a 546 or 581)
Support
Production #'s?
Equipment:
- A DVCAM
- The 360-cam
- Boom mics
- A DAT recorder
Get a specific list to Scott and CC Peggy on what equipment we need so Scott can take it to the dean.
We pointed out the fact that different production #'s have access to different equipment, so we want to make sure that the access we have is appropriate to our project goals.
Access to other labs will be granted on a case by case basis.
- IP
Latest developments in the school's policy
Current Policy:
The School owns the copyright, the student owns the IP(the idea).
Anything that is sponsored will fall under different categories and agreements, on a case-by-case basis.
If you use SAG actors and production equipment, you MAY be subject to the previous copyright contract.
- Advisors
Requirements
Is it still two from inside the department?
Two from inside IMD, and one from the outside. The idea being this third person should be someone from the industry to help you get contacts, outside perspective, etc.
Outside can be from elsewhere in the school.
You can make a case for not using 2 IMD faculty members, since there is already a strain on the current faculty members, being spread too thin between all the students.
However, INSIDE is suppossed to be a faculty member that understands what we do here, who you are, and what your process is.
Is Scott on every committee?
No.
What is expected from a thesis advisor?
It's mostly up to you. There are presentations to which your committee should be in attendance(the end of this semester, next semester, and the final), but it's as formal or informal as you dictate.
-Faculty
Who will be teaching us next year? When will we know?
- 2005-2006 Calendar
What are the milestones and approximate dates for the Thesis next year.
First presentations,
reviews,
final presentations,
exhibition
final submission of paper
- Department support in finding outside venues for future exhibition and publication.
We need to brainstorm about space options after Scott sees our presentations, since many of the students are looking at large installations and performance pieces.
