11-18-13 This Week So far... Here comes CPL Keefe

This last week I went through my job discretion and made a blogger for everything that is included in my job and what it means to me.  This way it will HELP me know what to do when I prepare for a master schedule for the remainder of the year.  The job discretion blog took me about an hour to do.  I think everyone should be doing this.  I also made my project's  for Volunteers and Digital Arts Race contest.  These took about an Hour of planning and then blogging about 30 minutes to retype what I had planned.  During drill this weekend I meet several people from different film schools in the area including SCAD UNCG, Elon, NC School of Arts who are all now interested in submitting to Visions for this year.  I have posters to be sent to individuals at UNCG and NC School of the Arts to hang in the schools to help raise awareness.  I also talked to SSG Brandon Stephens who has worked operations at a small film festival at NC School of the arts when he attended and he gave me some tips and pointers of what to do and what to expect.  I will be doing the walk through of Lumina with Matt Goslet this Wednesday morning at 10am.  I will have questions ready and ask Shannon to view over them next class to make sure I didn't miss anything.  This week I will be presenting my Pitch's for my projects to get class feedback tomorrow.  I will be making a power point for each one with half the slide one and the other side the next project.  I will follow the 12 steps planning on each slide to present the project.    I also did a lot of thinking when I was out there about my leadership style.  I feel that I need to be hard on deadlines and make people know when they need to get their butts in gear.  Reflecting on my Art Department Failure, I spread myself way to thin and worked to much on the website and ignored my team.  I also did not want to crack the whip and be like WTF to my team for not doing their work.  I try to not be an ass to people but it is starting to get crazy with people not doing their work on a high enough level.  Next semester my team will be on top of everything.  I will be doing all of the pre operations this semester so next semester everything will be  smooth sailing.  I will have my team a master schedule of when I expect work to be done and in what format.  I really do not want this festival to be a B+ festival.  I want this festival to be an A+ festival.  I want everyone to look back and say "Yeah I was a part of Visions 4".
