Showcasing our process first day time poll with proper poll. Woops!

Hello ladies and gents!

See previous thread if you have no idea what I'm talking about

https://forum.svslearn.com/topic/9115/showcasing-our-process/34

I'll be happy to go first and show everyone how I draw in order to hammer out any kinks in the process. I wanna do it sooner rather than later so this doesn't become another filed project for me!

I'll try zoom, and if all else fails Google hangouts seems to work well enough. And if ALL all else fails I can stream on twitch or somesuch. Part of this is me figuring this out to help out anyone else who wants to showcase but isn't comfortable with the tech side of things

In an attempt to let as many people come and participate as possible, here's a poll for a day/time combo. This'll give me an idea what day and time work best. I think there are a few folks who'll need to watch a recorded version, but we'll try for everybody

Click all that apply!

1PM PST

Thanks for this Braden, super cool. I'm down with this, this is great.

I'm on the east coast of Australia, so it looks like I live about 18 hours in your future; 1PM Friday at your place will be 7AM Saturday at mine. So I'm most keen for a 1pm PST or 6pm PST session so that I don't have to be up at 3am, haha, I'm selfish like that.

@Braden-Hallett Are you looking at trying to make this live or are we recording it then releasing it?

ArtofAleksey · 1 Apr 2020, 06:23

@jdubz good question

braden H · 1 Apr 2020, 13:08

@jdubz @ArtofAleksey I'm gonna do mine live because I really like the live Q and A format. Anyone who wants to do it live is welcome and I'll work to set it up. Anyone who wants to record their process and post a video will be most welcome, too

@Braden-Hallett Are we going to post the recordings (or for that matter, meeting times) in a central place? I tried a trial recording this morning, and while my Zoom skills (and my presentation organization) need work, it wasn't terribly hard from a technical standpoint. Trying to explain why I have seven .psd documents for one simple illustration might be another matter!

I don’t have a nice set up for recording. I just use my phone, so if we do a live zoom then I will just share my camera and point it at what I’m doing.
Nobody needs to see my face anyway.
I’m planning on painting my Vehicle Design final with watercolor and ink. I’m hoping to have that portion ready for whenever we decide to do this. I’m working on thumbnails sketches and should have something ready by this weekend.
If anyone wants, I will record how I prep my watercolor paper.

We'll see how the first one goes! The answer to the recordings is 'most likely' and for now the SVS forum seems like a central enough place to post the meeting times

Looks like this Saturday April 4th at 1:00 PM Pacific Time is what works best for most people. Not gonna lie, that's great for me since that's around the time I finish drawing on Saturday

So 1:00 this Saturday I'll present! After this first run we can figure out who's available to go next and set the next one up

I'll post a new thread with the link to join and any other info over the next couple of days.

@Braden-Hallett i’d love to join in but I’m swarmed with work for the coming weeks. I don’t think I’d be available anytime soon.

LauraA · 2 Apr 2020, 13:03

@Braden-Hallett So sorry! That's too late for me to listen live, at least with my whole brain. Will there be a recording?

danielerossi · 2 Apr 2020, 13:15

WebEx is offering for free for 30 days the same kind of features you have to pay for on Zoom. Oddly, though, you need to wait a day or so for your account to be set up. Not affiliated with them. Just passing on the info.

I will most certainly try for a recording!

Neat! There's a few different options that are starting to pop up as alternatives to zoom Thank you!

braden H · 2 Apr 2020, 22:45

I'll post a zoom link on this thread some time tomorrow!

@Braden-Hallett Your 1pm Saturday is my 7am Sunday, so that's good for me. Love it when things line up.

Meanwhile I think I need a tutorial on how to do a tutorial, I'll have some questions for you after you've done your Zoom, thanks for leading the way, man.
