Hey from Felipe!

Hello from Natchitoches!

I am Felipe Hernandez, and I am going to be the scripter for the planetarium project for the US side. Yesterday we went to Sci-Port in Shreveport and watched our "Get to Know Me" scripts. Today we came up with a few themes for our project. I can't wait to meet the team and share our ideas on Thursday! You can keep in touch with me by facebook or email (felipe@neill.net).

Chow!

U.S.A. says hey!

Hi Everyone!

I am Ethan Engemann, the Director (camera guy and editor), for the American team. This is my first post on this blog. You can also check me out on facebook or send me an e-mail (ethanhasjustsaid@aim.com). Today in our weekly meetings we thought of a few interesting themes for the project. I am sure the ideas will get covered in the meeting later on this week. Yesterday, the team visited the Sci-Port which was very fun! We learned a lot about the planetarium and its capabilities. I had a very busy, but fun weekend! I am excited to hear from everyone(especially from the other Director), and we'll stay in touch!

Bye for now!

Hi! My name is Chase Whitney. We had a meeting today about our side of the Project. I have been named a music/video editing person. We went through some ideas about an overall theme for the Project and we got 3 pretty solid ones. We hope to production soon. We are also very excited about talking to you guys on Thursday and hearing what you think. Looking forward to working together! Here is my facebook in case any of you want to talk or anything: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/profile.php?id=1510803595&ref=profile.



Adios amigos,

Hey from the US!

Hey, guys! My name is Courtney Brandabur. :) I'm part of the American team for this project. We went to the planetarium this past Sunday and it was great. Today, we had a meeting and came up with a couple of ideas for themes for the project. We came up with some great ideas that we can't wait to share with you. We are slowly making progress. In class, we assigned jobs and I will be the project manager. I'm excited to meet my Italian counter-part. I'm so excited for this project and can't wait for our Skype meeting (though it is very early in the morning for us).

Hey from Chelsea!!!

Hi, I'm Chelsea and I'm going to be one of the D3 scripters on the American team. I'm from way south really close to the gulf.
At SciPort Sunday, I watched a bunch of videos and spent some extra time with Greg talking about what the system was capable of. I've got a better idea now of what we'll be doing and am more optimistic now about how we're gonna go about doing this!!!

I watched my script... I think that's the biggest i've ever seen my face... Scary.

Anyways, that's my blog.
Ciao!!!!

Ciao from Karla!!!

Hello there!! I'm on the American Team! On Sunday we went to SciPort and were able to see our finished "Getting to Know Me" scripts. We learned different things we can do with d3. We also had the best pie ever! We may be able to take the Italian Team over there. :)
Today was a very productive day. We brainstormed themes and were assigned jobs. I really like the themes we have come up with. I can't wait to share them with you guys. I am one of the Music people, which is very exciting. I can't wait to talk to everyone personally on Thursday and be able to set the idea for our project.
Well got to go to soccer practice!
See you Thursday!!
