Quick update

A lot of work to do, but a lot of work done!

We got a call today that lifted our spirits a little (we'll keep this one to ourselves for now :P) but also set in a little bit of panic as we need to be completely sorted out by Monday to pull this off. *crosses fingers*

Thursday is fast approaching, which means so is our follow-up meeting with muzyQ! We have a loaded week ahead, but with all 6 of us working full steam ahead we will be fine :)
All in all this is the industry we WANT to be in, and any aspect we can have some hands on experience in is an asset to us. Personally, event production is where I think I would like to end up so doing something that involves a bit of everything, without compromising the quality level, is great!

We have a good team, and seem to enjoy working together...for the most part :P We have our down moments when the stress of everything really starts to affect us a little, but luckily we all seem to look out for each other. For example, today when morale was a bit low David silently decided we needed some cheering up so off he went to Albert Heijn, and bought everyone in our group a Kinder Surprise egg!!!


Thanks for the boost, David!

Working In The Sun

Yesterday, tuesday the 23th of march, we had quite a list of things that we wanted to do. We have made draft letters for all parties we might want to contact in the near future. So we made seperate letters for companies, schools and people that we would like to have for a workshop or presentation.

Also, we have started preparing our meeting with Robin Lemmers, the owner of muzyQ. We think it is best to have short pitch, with an extra twist to it. We will tell you more about this at a later stage.

We have started contacting some people as well, and by calling the people we have collected some direct e-mail adresses. This way the mails will get to the right people straight away. We are also happy announce that Creative Commons has shown interest in our concept, although more information is needed beforehand of course.

One of those things is the date, something we have been thinking about already of course, but we would first like to muzyQ, to find out what their preference might be. Within our group, we we're thinking of the start of June on a weekday. This way we can attract students, and be ahead of the World Cup madness which will start on the 10th of June with the opening ceremony.

We have a lot to do today as well, so I will get back to work asap. Sorry for the delay, but we we're working a bit longer than expected yesterday. I hope it is going to be a little bit less warm compared to yesterday in our green-house office.

Keep reading,

David

Another start of the week at Rookie!

For us, the second years IMM students, Rookie went into it's second official week today. As the weeks progress so do our ideas and concepts that we would like to realize. Today we pitched our ideas to the management team and the experts working at INHolland. The concepts we pitched were as followed;

• the muzyQ concept
• our local bands tour concept
• our South African artist tour concept
• our street musician/Jam it concept
  

We received valuable feedback on our concepts and the things we need to keep in mind when we develop them further.
For now our tasks consist of finalizing the project proposals and adding content to our concepts. We all have specific tasks for the concepts but we have regular meetings to bring each other up to date. So at the moment it's all about taking the ideas and concepts we have right now and making them financially and commercially viable to execute later in our Rookie period.

Besides working on the concepts we have regular meetings with our management team to ensure a good group dynamic and productive project groups. As an added bonus the Rookie IMM project groups all went to lunch together today to celebrate finishing the pitches!

We still have a busy week ahead so check back for updates on our concepts and the time we spend in Rookie Entertainment!
