Film Fantastic!
Firstly let me just thank everyone who helped out with screen printing!
They look absolutely amazing!
Special thanks to TJ for ordering the shirts and getting the screens burnt!
Here is the Rundown for our role in the Film Fest.
We have 100 shirts printed for sale.
We will be getting a list from Ben informing us who has registered.
Registered participants can get ONE shirt for $7
each additional shirt will be $10 this is also the price for the public
We need someone to please make a poster for the table
The poster needs to say the following
- Who we are! Virginia Tech Chapter of AIGA
- What we're selling! T-Shirts!!!
- Shirt Prices - $10, 1 Shirt for $7 if you are registered for the film fest
- CASH ONLY
I (Jenn) am more than willing to print the poster if someone can design it.
I have paper to print 13 x 19 and will print it
but I need it BEFORE 9PM FRIDAY
We need to transport the shirts! From VCD Space to Hancock
Around 4:45 or so, we SHOULD be able to pull up in that little parking lot by Hancock
Someone will have to stay in the car while two or more run the shirts in.
If we can get a driver and a loader and then have a 1 or 2 at Hancock to unload
we should be able to do this in less than 15 minutes no problem
Right now we have people 2 people signed up to sit 5:30-6.
It might be better if we had atleast one more person there
as this will probably be when most people show up.
We need 2-4 people to set up at sit from 4:50 to 5:30
We also need 2-4 people after 6 til about 6:30
or until the crowd thins and everyones watching films
don't worry! we know everyone wants to watch all the films!
We need a clean up crew! Since we arent selling food
it should be pretty much boxing up the extra shirts we aren't gonna have!
However, we still need people to be there in case there is stuff to throw out etc
Please Sign Up Here If You Can Help!
And Now To The Good Part!
Ben said there are 22 teams signed up!!!
WE GET TO KEEP EVERYTHING WE MAKE! HOORAY!!!
good job guys! you all did great at getting more teams signed up
only 8 of them have paid, but hopefully that will be sorted out at the last minute
IF YOU ARE SIGNED UP TO PARTICIPATE AND HAVE NOT PAID PLEASE DO SO TOMORROW!!!
We need ideas for October & November Events
Since Blacksburg Partnership & Deets will be holding Pumpkin Carving Contests
we might not want to do that. so who has ideas!
we need to do something fun! possibly another fundraiser!
something that can promote design
something that can help us unite as a group
Lastly, we still need AIGA VT logos!!
This is what I came up with
Feel free to play with the idea of the squares or come up with your own!
AIGA uses Garamond Italic, but you dont have to if you dont want to
oh and comment on what you think of my idea please!
plus post your own logo ideas!
I think/hope that is it for now! See you at the Film Fest!!!

//FIRST Mtg Reminders//
Hey A.I.G.A members-
Just a few reminders for next week//
01- We are looking for one position, the web master. So holla at Jenn or Jessica if you are interested. Their emails are: Jenn Burch/ jmburch@vt.edu & Jessica Harllee/ jharllee@vt.edu
02- FILMfest// a.)We plan on selling can sodas and t-shirts, so if you are WILLING and able to help sell those for 30 minute increments, we would highly appreciate you letting us know what time you would be able to volunteer some of your time.
b.) Just a reminder, we are meeting on the 25th and the 26th at 6:30pm, for screen printing the shirts we'll be selling. So if you can't make it on Tuesday...just stop by and help on on Wed. night.
c.) As for the selling of shirts, the conditions are: Right now Ben has 13 teams signed up for the film fest, if we can manage to get 8 more teams to sign up, that totals 21 teams we get to keep ALL THE MONEY! However, if we can not get the total sign up to 21 teams=63 people, then Ben is going to take $3 (per sold shirt) for using his artwork. Now guys this seems like a pretty sweet deal so how bout' it? Let's start getting other people to sign up! We can totally do this, just ask your friends at Radford, friends that are into film, and (of course) your crazy friends that are down for anything...cause we ALL have at least know one of them!
03- AIGA shirts & LOGO// We have plans to have a design for our own t-shirts, so start designing an A.I.G.A logo. Have fun with it!
04-EVENTs// Once a month we're going to try to have one event per month. For example, this month we are helping Ben out with the Film fest, and October the pumpkin carving contest. With the pumpkin carving contest, we want some ads/ posters and maybe t-shirts...so start those creative juices flowing for ideas. For November, we need ideas (even if they are crazy as hell, just let us know...we're up for anything, as long as it's legal!). For December, we want to have a get together and perhaps do "white elephant."
05- Membership// WE are thinking for A.I.G.A, that if you help out with the selling of shirts and drinks (or even making the shirts) that we can somehow reduce the price of the membership cost for you. Think about that...and let us know what your thoughts are on that.
Four Minute Film Fest T-Shirt Sales Help
We need people to sit in half-hourish shifts from 5:30-7 the evening of the Four Minute Film Festival (Saturday, September 29th). There should probably be 3 people at the table at all times.
If you can help out, comment here with:
1. your name
2. when you can sit
