Facepaints - Best product SNAZAROO


Just to note on face painting product,
          LINK: http://www.snazaroo.us/products.htm

Snazaroo is hypoallergenic and water soluble (don't even need soap!) .
The smaller rainbow wheel of colors is $16.00 each and claims to paint 50 full faces.

If we are going to purchase face paints
- this is the one I suggest. It is the only
facepaint that we used at the party entertainment company I worked for and has mixing abilities :D

Pricing
In the past when we have done charging at events:
Full face paints could go for about $5.00 - $7.00
Half face / Smaller Designs - $2.00 - $4.00

Practice / sharpen skills ? :
Perhaps a potluck or short evening period where we can all paint each others face to practice
and experiment. We could always do it for about an hour and a half or so one morning so that
we are "sporting" the PQ, our fundraiser, and INFLATED EGO in some way all day.

I can also teach a short session on balloon animal making which supports our inflated theme, and colors.
I believe MARDI GRAS hats would be a great idea - but they would need to be made pre-event because they
take a little bit of time to make, and with a crowd/line it can be a crazy experience if you're not making em
as fast as they want em. They would need to be made the day before or earlier that day.

In the Past - Print out photographs of options:
I've really only done this with children, and my imagination works quick with them when
it comes to guessing what they want. Young adult (drunk) art students may be different.
It may be wise to have an options board/menu/list as well as keeping the possibility for
creative improv with paint and a face. A lot of the time the shape of someone's face can
inspire a certain style/idea.

INFLATED Meeting: March 2

1.)  Inflated Ego Rehearsal:   SAT. 3/19 -- 10AM-2pm
    -  (two weekends from now)
    -  This is separate from the Wed production meeting
    -  Bring whatever ideas you have, what you are working on, something you want read/seen/experiment with/make
    - This is where/when we will start creating the piece!
    -  If you need technical things and can't access them, contact someone you think might be able to help you and figure out how to get those supplies to rehearsal
    -  I will reserve a space on space board

2.)  KICKSTARTER -->  End Goal Date is MAY 15th.  Jamie is setting up the account, but we NEED SOMEONE to take on creating a fun awesome video and phrasing to make people want to give us meeting.

We are estimating that everyone can raise $300 from their ppl.  Can you raise this amount? We will then assume that everyone can contribute $500 to their own travel (or raise through other means) and use this sum to create our KICKSTARTER GOAL!

3.)  MARDI GRAS (March 25th)--a.k.a CalArts Spring Halloween Party:  Jamie is asking Student Council if we can sell food/excitement (inflatable head pieces??) to raise funds for Prague!  Can everyone be available to help fund raise that day???

4.)  HELIUM:  Drew is going to research helium sources.  Balloon popping as noise effect also discussed.

5.)  BUDGET:  We will currently work off of the idea that we have $320 left for production/fundraisers/etc.  Kickstarter will go towards travel & housing.

6.) EXECUTIVE MEETING:  Masha and I will send update on THUR about what the deal is for next Mon.

7.)  NEXT WEEK MEETING:  Same bat time, same bat place:  WED 3/9:  12-1pm TATUM

8.) REMINDER:  Please fill in your schedule on the Doodle Matrix Alex sent out.  Check dates you are AVAILABLE.  No need to sign up for account, just put your name in and start clicking time slots!  It will take you 10min max.
