Your names, your histories, your work as a teacher and scholar---anything you think people might be interested in. But we'll play with some of the many tools we have in the LL Studio to help you and your students communicate. ## space set up - think through most constraining thing and go from there (ie. the green screen) - populate music room with tuned and ready instruments - tables ## list of requested tools - Andreja Siliunas - visual data - including big data approaches? - video manipulation - visual arguments - Anna Ivanov - data science, digital humanities - help Julie B with her virtual galleries? - strong digital humanities background - maybe VR and games - also instructional design and pedagogy/theory - Carly Yingst - maybe mindich connection? - AV editing, presenting to public - illustration - Elitza Koeva - sculpture/installation - performance - graphic design - adobe comfort - ar/vr - video editing - podcasting/sound design - camera a record of viewing--20 shots one object - Emily Rivard - sci comm, including podcasts but let's try for more - excited about oral presentation skills - Malcolm Morano - video - game design/philosophy games - ethics and CS - Sarah Eisen - skills in object-based teaching - knows photoshop - excited about VR/AR - wants to learn more in-depth skills related to image, video, and perhaps even sound editing in Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. - Shanni Zhao - data vis (Nvivo, Piktochart) - timelines - interactive and multimedia - animations - game design + board games - online gallery - data vis - graphical abstracts ## notes ### on ATEM and keying - Key 3 = the stage MINUS green - Key 2 = maybe a preconfigured key made from two green frames (sometimes this is on table 2, but for Thursday maybe we can just use a still? or just table 1?) - Key 1 = the main table MINUS green - bottom layer = the main source we initially see (cam 5, say, where we see ourselves, or cam 8, where we see the computer) - when presenting about something on the computer, this is cam 8 - when wanting to show performing, this is cam 5 - when wanting to show multiple camera angles, this is SS1 or SS2 (supersource)
