THANK AND CREATE DAY

First thing First for think and create day was to get the rest of the ingredients needed for catering, all the bread, cheese and meat.

Natasha and I headed to paknsave and got what was left, storing everything in the storage room.

Around 12 the instillation Team helped set up the tables that were going to be used for the catering at the event, we used 4 tables, and thankfully the tablecloths were big enough to cover what we needed.

I got the help of:
Jerry
Corrie
Natasha
Beathony
Fabri

To help prepare and set up stuff. We first got all the glasses and drink downstairs setting them up on the longest table, then I stationed Jerry and Natasha to watch over the Alcohol, to make sure nobody pinched any, and also, when guests started arriving, so that they could start serving the drinks.
In the meantime: Corrie, Beathony, Fabri and I started preparing the food, all the foods that wouldn't go off easy, were prepared first, such as the lolies crackers and dip and grape platters. They were taken down as the other platters were being prepared, the ones that I didn't want left out waiting for too long, (worried they would dry out or go off)
Fabri was set in charge of preparing the Falafel skewers, Corrie, was on the bread Platters,
and I put together the meat and cheese platters.

The left over money from buying all the food and required Items was returned to the Treasurer, Caleb along with the recepts for buying all that was required.

After the food was all down it was all a matter of keeping someone attending the drinks, and making sure the food was topped up.

Which went well, thankfuly TuT




As people were started being ushered to Centre stage, we started to take the food back up to the stoage room, to help drive people out fo the raw gallery and into Centre stage for the Main event of the nights.
At the interval, some things were brought back down for people to snack at>>



ANNNDNDDDD
After the event. everything was stored in the spare room. the extra food is open for raiding asa we can't keep it here over the summer.

I have put Natasha Incharge of cleanup, she is also taking all the glasses back, 

Catering Update

Wednesday 6th November

Thankful the full budget came though, so we had no need for the plan B or to cut down on what we were getting.
We first got to buying the material items at Hello Banana on Esk Street, the Total of that costing $70 less then we had anticipated, leaving $70 spare.

We next went to packnsave to buy the food that we didn't need fresh so all of the non perishable foods and foods that would be okay overnight,

I misjudged on the sized of some of the products we were getting resulting in us needing less of that particular Item, which means we now have more then we will probably need,
However we do still need to get the perisible items on the list tomorrow, such as the bread, cheese and Meant.
We used Natasha's car to transport the products to SIT Downtown campus, storing the fruit and vegg in the Staff fridge.

After that Natasha went to get the Booze and glasses, I would have gone with her however, we needed the car for it and she is only on her restricted meaning she couldn't take her with me, She managed to gett everything including the glasses with no issue.

I do think that we will ha ve money left over for the catering, this will be given back to the Treasurer after purcising all we need for think and create.

dsadsadadsa

The budget might not fully come through in time for think and create, Because of this, We need to create a back up plan.

Our Limit now is $800 or lower for the catering budget.

We have cut it down, trying to do so more.

Going to start getting stuff tomorrow
Will get everything, Wednesday and Thursday Morning, then Before think and Create prepare the food

Before I did not realize I would need outside help getting everything

The food, the alcohol, and the non food items.

I might need outside help, people with cars to transport the items required for think and create.
I think I annoyed a lot of people for not realizing this sooner.

I thought I would have had more time to get this all together.

I have done what I can to widdle down the price, I handed it over to Natasha as I had another class to attend, After I shall talk to her about how we are getting it all.

Catering Update

Catering Update:

After looking at the Venue after most of the artworks were installed, there was a ton of emty space withing the raw gallery.
Due to this new update I decided that All the catering should be moved downstairs, to for one be in the main area and too keep people happy, and also to fill in some of the emty space within the raw gallery, the food and drinks will all by near the gaming room,

With the catering downstairs we wont hav direct acsess to the hot water, However, in the Boom Room there is a large thermos that we can use to store hot water, This will run out quickly, however with the thermos it will be easier to transport from upstairs to the hot drinks table

Caatering Update

Catering:

The number of staff have been chizzled down due to most people being busy on the day of the exbition opening.
we have also now made changes to locations,
The food will be spit having some downstairs with the non achaholic drinks and the other half, upstairs with the hot drinks

Catering update

Catering update:

I have finnished, rewriting the catering.
All the Food and drinks have been talied up
I handled all the food and Natasha handled the drinks and equipment, sataff also
I then collected all the data together into an excel sheet,
along with formating it into word, (natasha had already done so for other then food) For the Meeting on Tuesday>

On that day I will also bring to everyones attention about our staffing needs/

I have also sumbited an artist statment after being told that, I do, indeed need to sumbit something< (mistake of not thinking so on my part)

Week12:

Catering week 12:

So far I have created a template with all the things I think I needed, I was only taking into account my previous experience in catering and didn't really account for how many people might show up, I have been told to use this as a starting base.

I have also contacted Sponsorship team to find out their progress with getting sponsors for the catering, they have a list but have yet to ask. So now I must wait for them to make contact, before I can know who we have and what they will offer us.

This will help I will also have finger food, so for now that and drinks will be our priority until we know who we can have for sponsors and what we will get from them.

Weta is based in wellington, they primarily create CGI and models for movies,

I believe I would contribute in the CGI and concept art aspect of this company, while I primary want to learn 2d animation and make web comics, A motive that pushes me further then anything is creating something that will draw someone into another world, bring them along on a journey, which I can do through animation and art.


Within Weta I would most likely Aim for weta digital. https://www.wetafx.co.nz/about/

Im not too sure on my chances, as there is not too much information on whether they accept internships, they do scholarships though. gotta try anyway.
I need to research more and get advice.

Week8: im gonna die

Weekly Task:
Work through the Planning section, using Think and Create.

- Create an Aims, Objectives and Measures of Success Table for T & C. Analyse the potential impact of T & C short, medium and long-term.

- Identify major stakeholders, partners, participants for T & C, and outline what they require and can offer.


Aims Objective and Measures of success.

Aims
- Why is the project taking place, what purpose does said event provide,
- Motivation and intentions?

Objective
- specific things that are needed or wanted to be achieved, this could be seen as stepping stones to complete the overall aim of the project, within objective, they should be, smart, realistic, specific and achievable within the available time frame.

Measures of success
- how you know that an objective is achieved, other ways of calling this are ass follows; outcomes, success criteria
- (use last year as example)


REPORT: INITIAL PLANNING
This project of the Think and Create's purpose this year, is to showcase the film, animation, gaming and art students work at S.I.T. We are looking to pull this event of to get not only good grades for this paper, but to help give exposure to the participants through an exciting and inviting event, This will also provide the second years with the experience and knowledge of how to run and set up a complex event, which, in the future will help us out with further projects as we can look back at this experience to see what went right and what went wrong.

I want this event to go off better then it has in the previous year, This event will need to go off seemingly, good planning and good communication, meaning clear instructions and intentions, easy for other people outside of the planning committee to understand. With this it will make it more likely for people to want to participate.
The event should be easy to participate and join in on, as I have noted communication needs to be clear, not only this but making sure everyone is doing their share of work and no one person is taking too much of a load while others slack off.

The measure of success for this event will primarily and directly be the grades for use, but aside from grade a big achievement shall be every objective mark being hit on the nose, people getting tasks done on time, people turning up to each meeting they are required at.
A mark of the event being a success will be the feedback we get from the participants and the people attending the event, we want people to enjoy the event so good feedback will be clear that we have achieved out goal of making the event awesome. Prizes that have been won in the event will not only draw people in it will help get community involved with possibly even internships, which will show that people have been interested and have loved the event.

uuggghhhh boots

Ok so what we did yay...

What did Our Team Achieve:
The design team worked together to get all the designs for things
such as posters and logos for the event. This went off well as for
the event  we had all finished products

What Problems and setbacks:
Printing and Timing, During this project we had a very limited
time to design and print the nesserory things for this assignment
however we managed to work around this and pull it off in the end.

If we did this again what would we do:
Make sure we had more time to do everything we need, and
 making sure we know all the assets we need before nearing
 the end of our project.

Evaluation as a group:
Everyone did great, each person contributed a decent amount of work,
the work was split up between the members to make the process go much
faster then relying on one person.

I'm not great with loads of writing so I am compensating by making it look pretty.
