Bobbi sent an email to Anna to ask about TV screens but there was a misunderstanding which caused a minor issue. We as a group managed to deal with the issue by getting hold of 3 monitors which Cameron was able to get from his local church. We all will bring our own TV screens for the exhibitions as well as a projector and tablets.
Regarding how people will be able to view the TV screens and monitors at eye level some will be showing there projects on TV screens which will be placed onto plinths. Elena at the venue has 5 plinths but we needed 2 more. Also as a few of us will have the TV screens on the table we will have a chair in front of the table for the viewer to sit and use headphones to preview the animations.
Catherine, Bobbi, Mike and Wayne spoke with Matt and Jessica in the 3D department at the college and was able to ask if we could borrow 2 plinths which Matt kindly agreed and wished us the best of luck with our exhibition.
Regarding chairs Elena has 8 chairs at the gallery which we needed 3 more so Bobbi has kindly offered to lend 2 of her folding chairs and Mike has offered to lend us one of his folding chairs. The chairs have now been arranged and the tables will be delivered by the college to the venue before 12pm on Tuesday 12th May and will picked up Thursday 14th May early morning.
