Well, the Matrix presentation may not have gone as smoothly as I’d hoped, but the professor still seemed pleased. We got an A, and his evaluation sheet begins: “An excellent job, in every way, by each and everyone on the team!” The man’s a sweetheart, of course, so you have to allow for that. (Random thought: I wonder if B-don has ever used the word “sweetheart” to describe any person. Ever.)

Team B presented on What Dreams May Come today, and while it would not be sporting to comment on their visuals, I will say that their frame grabs were muddy. It looked like they had to run a DVD player through some sort of Dazzle-like device, pausing the machine to grab stills. Bummer. (They also hooked up the player to show scenes, which is by far the smarter way to save time. We of course used custom AVI clips.)

We talked and decided to re-work the three upcoming presentations. Now instead of being part of 150 minutes of group presentation + 20 min individual, we will each be part of about an hour of presentations.

This leaves two questions: 1) How will my group of 10 split into two? There’s politics involved, as you’d expect. The fact that we have 5 foreign nationals makes things a bit more complicated. 2) What will my individual presentation be on? One of the assignment choices lists sexual orientation. I’d really like to do a comparison of the visual style of QaF UK vs. US. But standing up in what amounts to an open hallway, in front of 20 people, talking about gay stuff? I really don’t think I have the stones. The queer thing is totally my kryptonite.
