all these crazy screens...

Okay so what about all these screens? Here are some thoughts from programming meeting today:

Can we leave some screens blank? do they all have to be on?

Candy: When the band is playing--we want center screen, so you don't have to turn.
Trevor: If you're going to watch the media, you don't care about watching the band.
Candy: But a back up piece is just supposed to be in the background, not a focal point.

questions to ponder:
do more people watch the media than the band?
would it be okay to have media on the side screens and not center?
is 3 screens overkill all the time?

for next week:
can we show video clips just on side screens?
does there always have to be stuff on the side screens?

why are the lips out of sync?
delay on the projector
possibly affected by the way we're using keynote--not designed to play that much video
possibly avi is a problem.

we need to work media out beforehand--it's too complicated to wait until Sunday to format everything.

goal: what if saturdays were freed up to do the project for the following week?

i think the saturday thing is a good plan: greg was saying we might need to do a tech run on saturdays. as for what to have on the screens: i'm STILL trying to fully wrap my head around this whole thing! it's a cool problem to have, and i'm glad we're advancing to this, but it does take a while to get used to. . .
