Yr 3 Animation Exhibition Plans

Time to write a little bit about exhibition planning!

As a group, us 3rd year animation students are planning an exhibition of our work. This semester we have been researching and organising a few key aspects for getting the exhibition going, these include:

1. When it shall take place
2. An exhibition space
3. An opening night
4. Fundraising
5. Content for the exhibition

We have been having fairly regular meetings to discuss these tasks, where we take notes/minutes, and then continue the conversation outside the meetings too. So here is where we have got so far:

We have decided to go for an exhibition in 'White Space' for 27th February - 5th March 2015.
- We decided on late February/early March for the exhibition. This seemed like a good time, when students will be still at university but before the busy exam period. This will also give us time to gather some content, possibly including project work, to exhibit.
- We also visited various possible exhibition venues - the other big contender was the Forest Centre, near ECA. We agreed to go with White Space, in Gayfield Square in the New Town, as it was an professional looking venue and would suit film screenings quite well.
- We will also be organising an opening night to start the exhibition - which we will promote and advertise with posters and trailers!
- As for content for the exhibition, we are hoping to have a mix of short animated films, sketchbook/drawing work and possibly 3D models. The title of our exhibition, or at least for promoting the exhibition, will be "Shorts" and "The Twelfth House".

Fundraising
We have started fundraising for our exhibition - to pay for the gallery space and fund the opening night. Yesterday we held a very successful Christmas bake sale that raised over £100! We plan to have more bake sales in the new year...

Keep tuned for more exhibition news!
