CSB Notes for 10/18/06

CSB notes, 10/18/06

Internships: No new internships this week. How many of you have actually looked into doing these? I know that these internships were a big selling point for most of you, and I want to know if any of you are using this info.
There is one thing, a project run by one of our new professors, Grace Provenzano:

We will be shooting on three days this month (two Wednesdays and
one Sunday).  The program is about the work of dance teacher Albirda Rose and
her dedication to helping youth in disadvantaged SF neighborhoods learn the art
of movement and music.

I'll be needing grips, camera and sound assistants and editors.

Anyone interested can email me at gp@sfsu.edu

This could be a good opportunity to do your first credited work.
We’re getting the media binder underway, thanks to my committee members.

FCC Stuff: AT&T did indeed swallow Bellsouth during last weeks’ open meeting. They made a concession in the deal to follow network neutrality. Good right? Not so good, in fact, their agreement is only for the next 30 months, so in 2009 they will be able to start giving priority to their favorite customers online. This is not good. Here’s an article about it:

I also heard about the government’s plan to take the emergency broadcast messages to cell phones:

The other thing I’d like to show you is a news site I found. I now find a lot of my information on the FCC and regulation there. You might as well have the sources, it’s not like I have a crystal ball:

CSB Stuff: I have had a couple of people come up to me to ask about their projects, and I feel I should clarify exactly what I need from you.

1: Print out a page for people to sign up on.
2: Have your schedule figured out in advance.
3: Tell me what your project is about so that I can announce it and spark some interest. If we have time I’ll be able to let you come up and speak for a few minutes.
If you can do those three things, I can help you.

Finally, Vote for Governator 2. I’m still losing, but it’s close. The deadline is today!
