Project 2 Checkpoint 2 (4/22)

by Mike Gleicher April 21, 2011 News

For the Friday April 22nd checkpoint, I think its better to have an “in-person” conversation, rather than a written thing and an email conversation. We can probably do more in a 10 minute conversation than 30 minutes of writing. I will be in my office (or close by) from 10:15-11:45, and in the early afternoon […]

Project 2 Plans

by Mike Gleicher April 15, 2011 News

I updated the project 2 plan requirements: basically, the “5pm” deadline was moved to “before Saturday morning.” But there is also an individual “please tell me what you are going to do next week” requirement as well. (so a per-team plan, and a per-person “what am i going to do next week”). Details are on […]

Film Assignment

by Mike Gleicher April 15, 2011 Assignments

Make sure you’ve watched the Ikea Lamp Ad (see previous posting about that). Now that you’ve seen it… Clearly, some filmmaking tricks are being used to get you to have an emotional response – since the ad is pretty effective. (after seeing the punchline, you might not want to admit to being affected by the […]

Film Assignment

Your task: watch the “Ikea Lamp Ad” (here is one place I found it).  On Vimeo, or YouTube. Make sure to watch it with sound. And watch the whole thing before proceeding. After you’ve watched it, go here for the actual assignment.

Advice on Presentations

by Mike Gleicher April 8, 2011 Other Stuff

There is a lot of information on presentations out there – both in general, but even specific to technical domains and CS. This is my attempt to give my current take on it (emphasis on current since its always evolving).  I do recommend that you look for other people’s opinions as well (with some caveats […]

Due times for Project 1

by Mike Gleicher April 8, 2011 News

In the requirements posting for Project 1, I was not specific about the time things were due on Monday (other than saying that the demos would be in the afternoon). Since I didn’t specify the time, I am willing to say anytime in Monday (in this timezone). So Monday night is OK. Also, since I […]

Another Research Presentation Video

by Mike Gleicher April 7, 2011 News

Here’s one that is a bit more professional, and somewhere between marketing and research: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adobe-technology-sneaks-2011/sneakpreview-of-new-motion-stabilizer-for-after-effects/ Its target audience isn’t CS researchers, but hopefully, you can see how the “pros” here make these kinds of video. Nothing fancy, but clearly narrated and well-paced, and kept simple. You might recognize the research as Feng Liu’s thesis, building […]

Project 2 Idea Generation

by Mike Gleicher April 4, 2011 News

As I said in class, I want everyone to come up with a project 2 idea this week. To start with, I want everyone to define a rough idea, and discuss it with 2 people in their cohort. Cohorts, and some project advice is posted here. Before Thursday (say, before 8am Thursday 4/7), you must […]
