[h1]Flash Programming Lead[/h1]
Gencon Attendance Required? No.

Duties:This person will lead the development of the flash animation that is used in the preshow and during the ceremony. They will be free to pick as many (or as few) assistants as they require to get this job done.

Qualifications: To apply for this position post a link to one to three flash animations you have done in the past 12 months of at least 1 minute's duration which employ sound and animation.

Deadlines: The main control program must be finished June 30th. Nominee slides must be ready July 30th.

I'll throw up some flash examples and put a bid in, but I'd like to know what the scope of the project is (the snippet above doesn't tell me much, and I've never attended the Ennies). Do you have an RFP, by chance?

As with judges, these positions are closed to publishers and would-be nominees as the staff are privy to private information (as in, having advance knowledge of who won what award in many cases).

I was wondering if being a freelance writer this past year disqualifies me... I don't believe anything I've written this past year (2003) will be up for an Ennie... not out of a lack of quality, but a recognition that there are better products out there ;-)

If I am considered eligible I would be interested in either the Biz Manager or House/Reception Manager.

I don't have an advertising background, but it is one of the industries that I've been looking for work in and this might just be the break I need to teeth myself on and build a portfolio. I'm also known as a "people person" and good at keeping lines of communication open.

As for the House/Reception Manager position... I was a Community Developer for my university for a couple of years and helped to organize and oversee events held upon campus.

Thanks,

PS: I'm also known as "That Privateer Press Guy" from last year's Ennies, if that helps ;-)

That's ultimately Russ' decision - I'd be inclined to say it wouldn't because neither House Mngr nor Biz Mngr have any input on the voting process nor are they privy to the results. But again, it's ultimately Russ' call, I'll ask him though.

Still in need of a Biz Manager, House Manager and Flash Programmer

Do you need a bricklayer?

Do you need a bricklayer?

I do. We've got this chimney...

Ask Clay about the Bricklayer bit...

Anyway, Regarding the RFP of the Flash program. The flash program is there to display product covers as they are announced by the award presenters. The ability to advance from one product to the next needs to be controllable. I also did a preshow last year which showed off all nominee products as well as some ads and trivia "slides" to occupy 45 minutes of time before the show. Total construction time for this took me 5 days - but I was doing quite a bit of on the job relearning.

The exact amount of razz & dazzle and complexity of the animation is left up to the designer, though I'd like to move beyond last year's slideshow in quality.

Should the razzle dazzle be left for the Ennies intro and the intros to each category, or do you typically have a good crowd for the preshow?

Do we already have images of the nominee products available?

Will there be an operator seperate from the presenter, who can advance to the next product?

Is there someplace where we can view last year's Ennies presentation?

I wouldn't worry too much about a preshow - in fact other than music I wasn't planning on doing one simply because last year everyone seemed to show up in the last 10 minutes.

Do we already have images of the nominee products available?

No, nor will we until late May or June, so the program development will have to be done with placeholders and/or last year's images.

Will there be an operator seperate from the presenter, who can advance to the next product?

Yes - specifically the stage manager.

Is there someplace where we can view last year's Ennies presentation?

I'll upload them to where you can download them but be aware they are not small.
