Open House Brainstorm

Today at our YAC meeting we introduced ourselves and looked over the future statement to think about what we should do this year. One idea was to have a MAFIA (make a film in a...) 24-hour film challenge. James and Bekka participated in one at a conference in Austin last week, and James said he would do it again.
We then talked about what we could do at the SPNN Open House which is on December 8. We had the idea of having a short video competition. We would try and get people to bring a DVD with a short video on it and turn it in when they come to the Open House. After the event we could then pick a winner who would get a prize and put together a reel of the videos submitted to show on channel 16.
We also talked about doing a workshop/demo during the event where we would produce a promo for SPNN with the help of all of the different people at the Open House and work our way through preproduction, production, and post production getting input and help from those taking a tour of the media lab and small studio.
At our next meeting we are going to spend more time working on these ideas and shoot at 30 second promo advertising for submissions and for people to come to the open house. Mejid is also going to put together a flyer before the next meeting to hand out to promote the event.
