In Bb - very cool idea here - check it out

"In Bb 2.0 is a collaborative music and spoken word project conceived by Darren Solomon from Science for Girls.

The videos can be played simultaneously -- the soundtracks will work together, and the mix can be adjusted with the individual volume sliders."

Uploading your work to Pool

A few notes about uploading your final production project to pool.

STEP 1 - Create a Pool Profile (or four)... by joining pool you can go a couple of ways...

• all or some members in the group can create a personal profile – create one if you feel you might like to use Pool in the future (beyond PP1_09) as a place to exhibit your work or simply play... alternatively, if all in the group are sure they will not use pool post-this-assignment – then create a profile that represents your project group..***NB – all profiles require an image and ‘about me’ text***

STEP 2 - The Profile[s] join the groups - ‘RMIT Media’ and ‘PP1’ and ‘Gene Pool’

STEP 3 - Upload work (aka your production project) to your profile

• When logged in - press the 'upload' button
• Unless your PP is a straight audio, video, still image or text file - you will need to upload a link to your project - I've created an example upload HERE - but basically, on the page you will need: an image, a title, your 250 word framing statement, full list of credits, full list of attributed works
• Then add this work to groups by ticking the ‘RMIT Media’ and ‘PP1’ and ‘Gene Pool’ and PUBLIC  boxes on tab 4 

NOTES

• 'work' items will appear on your profile in order of upload - there is no way to mess with this - so if you care about the order of items uploaded - then think about it carefully before you start
• unless you have a group profile, there is no way for project partners to share the same 'work upload' - so, if several people want to share the same project... you will have to upload the work items separately (to avoid the same piece of work being entered in the groups four time - ensure that only one profile in the group has the work entered into the three groups.

Getting ready to dive in...

A big congratulations to our Remix-it group for hitting the front page of Pool! well done... you should all check out the story about them here... And for more exciting news - the technology has finally caught up with us - pool groups have arrived! RMIT Media staff had a hand in developing this feature - so we're really quite chuffed all those pies in the sky have finally made it to the table. Anyway - this means that you should all join the 'gene pool' group asap (your project group will be required to do this as part of submitting your production project)... if you join the group you can get updates on new material there (check out the old ABC countdown sequence...very funky) and it would be great if you can upload/ share any copyright neutral material you find on your PP1 travels.... also, check out how others have responded to the theme... join the group at... http://www.pool.org.au/group/gene_pool
