The Law of the Land (in the studios)

Hey everyone this is just a reminder of the studio rules with the end of the semester nearing and the center getting much busier. Lately I've noticed several of the studio doors left unlocked. Remember, the studio doors MUST remain locked at all times. If you are an employee letting a user in, you can ensure this by turning the key clockwise rather than counter-clockwise. This will unlock the door until you remove the key where it will lock up again.

Some other important guidelines to follow or what the the studios may, and may not be used for:

Type of Studios

• Four digital editing studios (Two Mac and two PC)
• One digital design/skype studio (Contains a Wacom drawing tablet)
• One sound studio (Contains an audio deck)

Studio uses
Users can reserve a studio:

• to rehearse a presentation (only if it is complete and ready to practice)
• to film, capture, or edit videos
• to take still photographs
• to record or edit audio

Users can not reserve a studio:

• to work on a Photoshop graphic (unless in studio #5)
• to edit or assemble a Powerpoint or other presentation
• to work on editing web pages
• to study
• to work on a project that is not multimedia related

Studio time limit

Studios can be reserved for two hours at a time up to 7 days in advance. If a user needs more time, they may come out 15 minutes before their time is up and if no one has the room reserved after them, they may reserve another two hours.

Green Screen Usage

Green screens can be put up on request. We ask that the user tell us ahead of time so that we can have ample time to set up and take down the screen.

Employees: Mark off a 30 minute block before and after the reserved time period in the reservation list

General Rules

• NO food or drinks allowed in the studio (drinks with lids are allowed OUTSIDE of the studio)
• DO NOT stand behind the cameras in the studios, please stay off to the side and adjust the camera from there
• Users MUST use the equipment in the studios
• Please DO NOT stand on chairs or adjust the ceiling lights, ask a staff member 
• DO NOT leave the door propped open, the staff will be happy to let you back in

That's about it! If you'd like to use one of our studios after reading these guidelines, call us at  (302) 831-2965 or come straight to our desk. Good luck with the rest of Spring semester!
