Digital Video Lab

Access Policies

The DV lab is for use by students enrolled during the semester in a video or animation class. Beyond this, students who have requested and received special permission to access the lab from Undergraduate Dean Julie Schneider may also freely access the lab. School of Design Faculty members who have informed Julie Schneider and Ellen Reynolds of their intention to use the lab and who have been instructed in the use of the hard and software may also freely access the lab.

Faculty members should plan not to use the DVLab during the last three weeks of the semester.

Classes held in the lab take priority. Their meeting times are posted on the wall outside of the DVLab and on the online sign-up page.

Supervised access times are posted on the wall inside the lab and on the online sign-up page.

Special topic workshops are offered throughout the semester. These are to supplement the in class material and to address special needs of fine arts majors, faculty, and graduate students. Sign up for workshops on the online sign up page, or on the sign up sheet outside of the DVLab. If there is no one signed up for a workshop, it will be cancelled without further notice. If you have a suggestion for a workshop, please contact Ellen.

Students may sign up for two four-hour blocks of time per week, or the equivilant. Beyond this, students may come in and use a workstation at any time, providing no one is signed up for that workstation. If you have signed up and cannot make your scheduled time, please delete your sign up block so that others may use the time. If you are 15 minutes late for your sign up period, someone else may use your entire block. Conversely, if someone else is 15 minutes late, you may use their block.

Guests are not permitted into the DVLab. You may not give out the door code or workstation access password. Please keep the lab door locked when you leave the room, even if only for a short time. Food and drink are not permitted into the lab.
