MSAB has annual grants of up to $10,000 for doing work that will advance your artistic career. Many of you have already done this process through the mock process in Specialization, so it would be relatively easy to recreate this for the real grant! Information sessions with Board staff are an excellent way to develop your grant even further! To date, four seniors and alums have been recipients of this grant: Liz Hardt (Fa’09), Scott Palmer (Fa’09), Keith Cich (Sp’08), and Anna Eveslage (Sp’10); and 5 faculty: Anthony Marchetti (2 times), Colleen Mullins (3 times), Becky Olstad, Areca Roe, and Sarah Whiting.

Reservations

A reservation is made in our system for future pickup. Reservations are available so that students may plan ahead to get class projects

done. Reservations can be made for as little as 15 minutes in advance. A reservation disappears from our system if it is not picked up

within 30 minutes of set pickup time. (Print/Scan Lab reservations become void after 15 minutes of set pickup time.) This means you

should plan to be at the Cage to pick up your gear/pass well in advance of your reservation, especially if you have made your

reservation during our busiest hours, which is always between studio class times.

Students must come to the Cage window to make a reservation.

No phone reservations will be taken.

No back to back reservations allowed.

A student may not have more than 3 equipment related reservations & 3 lab/studio reservations in the system at any given

time during the Quarter.

Limit on total per week reservation hours in system

3 equipment reservations are restricted to a total of 96 hours per week. For example: A student can reserve equipment for a Weekend

Checkout (a 72-hour reservation) plus one 24-hr period during the week (a 24-hour reservation) = 96 reservation hours total.

3 lab/studio reservations are restricted to a total of 12 hours per week. For example: A student can reserve the Print/Scan lab for 4

hours and the Photo Lighting Studio for 2 separate (NOT back-to-back) 4-hr blocks within one week.

Question: What does back-to back mean?

Answer: Any reservation that has less than 8 hours between return and pickup.

Checkouts

A Checkout is an immediate pickup at the Cage window. A checkout is made when a student comes to the E- Cage without a

reservation to see what is available for immediate use. Also as soon as a reservation picked up is enacted it becomes a Checkout.

No equipment will be checked out to a student without presenting a valid AiM Student ID.

No student can check out equipment under another person’s ID.

No student can checkout equipment for another student.

No student can use E-Cage gear for anything other than class projects.

No one but the student who has the gear reserved or checked out can pickup/return the gear.

All students MUST look over their own equipment before they leave the E-Cage.

Students are allowed to checkout gear at any time (if it’s available), even if they have booked all their allowed reservations in the

system.

Again, all students must review and inspect all their gear before leaving the E-Cage.

4-hour Checkout (Short-term)

4-hour checkout is for gear that is not allowed to leave campus. The list below is not exhaustive.

E-Cage Policy as of Spring 2012

24-hour Checkout (anytime during the week)

Everything is due back exactly 24 hours from time of pickup, unless it is due back before due to conflicts with other reservations.

Almost all photo-based gear (except gear that is specifically designated for use in the Photo Lighting Studio only)

Almost all Video-based gear (except gear that is specifically designated for use in the Video Green Screen Studio only)

Weekend/72-hour Checkout (Friday–Monday)

Everything is due back exactly 72 hours from time of pickup, unless it is due back before due to conflicts with other reservations.

Almost all Photo-based gear (except gear that is specifically designated for use in the Photo Lighting Studio only)

Almost all Video-based gear (except gear that is specifically designated for use in the Video Green Screen Studio only)

Renewals

A renewal is enacted in our Web Checkout system when a student comes to the Cage Window to check on the possibility of keeping

the gear for 2-8 hours longer. Renewals are NOT for padding time because you will be late returning gear. Students already have a

15-minute return grace period. Renewals are made available to students as an option to continue working on a project, as long as the

gear is available. Renewals can never be guaranteed and need to be asked about at the Cage window at the time of the renewal – well

before the gear is due back.

Renewals are restricted to 2-8 hours.

Renewals cannot be made by phone.

Renewals must be made at the Cage window with the gear present (or in a Photo or Video Studio if you have an Access Card

checked out).

Renewals must be made well in advance of return time.

Renewals are only allowed once per checkout.

Renewals cannot be enacted if the gear is already late.

Renewals are contingent upon availability of the gear.

Extensions

An Extension can be proposed by advanced students who have pre-planned projects that need more than 24-hours or a Weekend to

complete. To receive an Extension the student must fill out and submit an Extension Proposal Form to the E-cage Manager at least 2

weeks prior to the proposed checkout date. Extensions will only be reviewed on Mondays, so plan ahead. The Cage Manager will look

into availability, and other factors, then send it on to the student’s Academic Director for approval. Once the Extension is approved, the

student can pickup their approved Extension Form from the Cage and make the approved extended reservation with the Cage worker.

The student must keep the approved Extension Form and bring it with them at time of pickup.

Link to Form on Blog: http://aim.aiiresources.com/ecage

Returns

The student must remain at the E-Cage counter while the Cage Worker inspects and checks in all equipment.

All gear must be returned in the same condition as when checked out.

All cables and/or accessories must be wrapped neatly and properly stored in case/bag.

All batteries and memory cards must be taken out of the recording gear.

All lights must be properly put away and cords wrapped.

All tripods and stand properly compacted and all knobs tightened.

Late Returns & Late Fines

The E-Cage gives all students a 15-minute grace period before a late fine is assessed by our system. If you are going to be more than

15 minutes late returning your gear, please call us. (You will still be assessed a late fine.) Note: if you are more than 15 minutes late,

you will possibly be cutting into another students work time. You will be making this person wait for the gear. Please act appropriately

and responsibly. Return your gear on time.

5$ per hour / 25$ per day maximum

The return date/time for the checkout is assigned at the time of pickup. Students are advised to always ask for and review their

checkout/reservation agreement. It is important that you note the due date & time before leaving the Cage to insure there are no

mistakes. The Cage workers are not held responsible for you not knowing the return time of your checkout. Students are responsible for

this information.

Suspensions

A student is automatically suspended from checking out gear by our system once a late fine had been charged, and remains

suspended until the late fine has been paid. This is also the case with any late gear, damaged, broken, abused, stolen, or lost gear. In

the case damaged/lost gear (or any other of the aforementioned category) the student is charged the cost of replacing the gear (or part

if possible). These charges can be quite expensive, as almost all our inventory is professional equipment. In the event of this kind of

expense the Cage Manager can move the fine to the students AiM student account. This clears up the student’s WebCheckout

account and gives them access to gear again while they payoff the fine, as set up with the AiM Accounting Office.

Appeal a fine

If you are late, you are late and will have to simply pay your fine or, if you have documented reason for your late return and have not

already talked to the Cage Manager, you must fill out a “Fine Appeal Form” found on the E-Cage Blog.

Link: E-Cage Fine Appeal Form

E-Cage Policy as of Spring 2012

E-Cage Busy Hours

10:45a – 11:45p

1:45p – 2:45p

4:45p – 5:45p

7:45p – 8:45p

The Cage is busiest between the ending and beginning of all 3-hour studio classes. (Memorize the times above!) Not only are we

putting together and checking out faculty class lists, which can be extensive (especially Photo Lighting Studio classes), we are also

inundated with students picking up and dropping off in-class gear, project gear and access cards. If you can avoid coming to the Cage

during these extremely busy hours, we highly recommend it. You will encounter long, slow-moving lines during these phases. Be

prepared for this as all students are responsible for picking up and returning gear/passes on time. The Cage workers are not

responsible for lines, nor are they responsible for you being late because you had to stand in line. It is your responsibility to plan ahead

and be checked in/out on time. Set your reservation and return times accordingly.

Student Acknowledgement & Contract

When a student leaves the E-Cage with equipment, the student acknowledges the following:

The student has the proper gear.

No damage at the time of checkout (wear and tear is not the same as damage).

All accessories associated with the equipment are present in the bag/case.

The student accepts all financial responsibility for any equipment lost, stolen, or damaged while in his/her possession.

Important information about our WebCheckout System

The E-Cage use an online system called WebCheckout. Sometimes it is slow. Sometimes, but not often, it goes down. If our web-based

system is down, we cannot checkout any gear until it is back up and running. In these situations it is out of our hands and we all have to

be patient as the WebCheckout team in Chicago works to get us back up and running again.

Some useful definitions for understanding our WebCheckout System

Reservation

A reservation is made in our system for future pickup. Reservations are available so that students may plan ahead to get class projects

done. Reservations can be made for as little as 15 minutes in advance. A reservation disappears if it is not picked up within 30

minutes of set pickup time. (Print/Scan Lab Reservations become void after 15 minutes of set pickup time.) This means you should

plan to be at the Cage to pick up your gear/pass well in advance of your pickup time, especially if you have made your reservation

during our busiest hours, which is always between studio class times. 10:45a-1:00p / 1:45p-3:00p / 4:45p-6p / 7:45-9p

Checkout

A Checkout is an immediate pickup at the Cage window. A checkout is made when a student comes to the Cage without a reservation

to see what is available for immediate use. Also, when a reservation is opened for pickup it becomes a Checkout.

Pickup

Is enacted when a student comes to the Cage to pickup a reservation.

Return

Is enacted when a student comes to the Cage to return a checkout. If a student is late our system automatically assessed a fine (5$

per hour / 25 max per day). There is a 15-minute fine grace period. When a student returns gear it is made available for others to

checkout within 15 minutes.

Renewal

A renewal is enacted in our WebCheckout system when a student comes to the Cage Window to check on the possibility of keeping the

gear for a bit longer.

Renewals are NOT for padding time because you will be late in returning gear. Students have a 15-minute return grace period already.

Renewals are for the possibility to work a bit longer.

Renewals are never guaranteed and need to checked on at the Cage window.

Extension

An Extension can be proposed by advanced students who have pre-planned projects that need more than 24-hours or a Weekend to

complete. To receive an Extension the student must fill out and email a proposal form to the E-cage Manager at least 2 weeks prior to

the proposed reservation date. The Cage Manager will look into availability and other factors, and then send it on to the student’s

Academic Director for approval. Once the Extension is approved, the reservation can be made. The Extension form can be accessed

from the E-Cage blog.

Late Returns

If you are going to be more than 15 minutes late returning your gear, please call us. You will still be assessed a late fine. Students

have a 15-minute grace period before the fine is assessed. Note: if you are more than 15 minutes late, you will be possibly cutting into

another student’s time. You will be making this person wait for the gear. Please act appropriately with returning your gear on time.

ASMP-NYC announces it’s 2012 Image Competition. Click the image above for details.

It’s that time of the quarter! The link below will download a streamlined copy of the course offerings for Winter 2012!

Winter Schedule of Courses

This is the schedule for registration this quarter. Please look up your credits earned on the Student Portal or by visiting Claire or me:

PLANET Magazine is pleased to announce our 4th annual Global Travel Photo Contest, with another esteemed panel of judges and larger and better prizes than ever before!

Click the image for further information on entering:

Two Grand Prize winners — one for General Travel and one for Portrait — will each win the ultimate Grand Prize: A round-the-world ticket (or $1500 cash), with a minimum 12-image portfolio from your trip to be published upon your return. Two runners-up in each category will receive a liveBooks preDesigned website or $500 toward a custom designed website. If you are an existing liveBooks customer you can apply the $500 towards upgrades. Fourth place winners will receive a Canon G12 and a portfolio of their work published in PLANET in 2012; and all runner-ups (5th through 10th place) will receive a coffee table photography book courtesy of Steidl or Gestaltan. Best of all, and entirely new this year, all top 10 finalists in each category will have the opportunity to have their image shown in a special gallery exhibit and opening event at New York City’s Clic Gallery in Soho. Clic is one of the top galleries in the city representing both emerging and established photographers, so this is a truly special opportunity to have your work seen, and for sale, at an influential Manhattan gallery. This is an expansion off of last year’s addition to the contest of working with a PLANET editor to create a limited-edition of your image and sell it on our online gallery, establishing you with an audience of photo collectors and earning you money for your work. Which will also be included in this year’s package, making this the best contest package we’ve ever put together, so read on for all the details….

The contest is divided into two categories. They are: General Travel and Portrait. There’s no need to specify your category; our editorial team will place your image in the category that best fits and then present the two categories to our judges. A grand-prize winner and nine runner-ups will be selected from each category.

PLANET is the first and leading contemporary global culture magazine blending the latest in the arts and style with coverage of distant cultures, unique travel experiences, and environmental awareness.

PLANET’s photo contest offers photographers from around the world a unique opportunity to share their vision of travel, life, people, and sub-culture with our top editors and a distinguished panel of judges culled from the highest levels of New York’s international photography community.

Our ongoing theme is ‘Many Worlds, One Planet’, and we’d like to ask photographers to not only capture defining images of a particular place but to also consider the people, lifestyles, and subcultures of the places they document; a powerful portrait or image of a gathering can equally reveal the depth and mystery of the travel experience.

At PLANET, our concept of travel is different from other magazines. It’s not just about destinations; it’s about journeys. For us, travel is a state of mind, and as much as we’re passionate about traveling to distant places and discovering new people, delicious food, intriguing nightspots and scenic locations, it’s also possible to discover new worlds in your own city simply by changing neighborhoods or documenting a different circle of culture.

Based on this broad understanding of travel, photographers are encouraged to submit traditional travel images, studies of the people and environs they encounter as they travel, and even explorations of their own local surroundings. Above all, entries should inspire PLANET readers to explore the many worlds contained in this, our one planet.

To enter, please read the following guidelines and then click the button below to register and submit your image. Each entry contains one image. Photographers may submit multiple entries. There is a fee of $20 per entry to cover administering the contest.

All entries must be submitted as digital files through the upload feature we’ve provided. Photos delivered via post or email will not be accepted.

Images may be color corrected and retouched, however no photo illustrations or digitally created images will be accepted.

All photographers must hold copyright to their submitted images and will be asked to confirm as such by accepting our Terms and Conditions.

Size specifications for upload are: Between 4×6 and 8×10 at 72 dpi. Finalists will be requested individually to submit high-res images for publication. Any images that fail to upload because of being oversized, will not be refunded.

The contest runs from September 1 until October 31, 2011. All entries must be received by midnight (your time) on 10/31/2011.

This year’s contest will be judged by an esteemed panel of international photography professionals and PLANET editors.
