2021 ONLINE Graduation Ceremony
Dear Students and Graduates,
Due to COVID-19 related restrictions, the in-person Graduation Ceremony at Fab16 Conference in Montreal (Canada), has been replaced by an Online Graduation Ceremony, via Zoom.
All Academany Graduates who want to participate in the Online Graduation Ceremony will have to REGISTER
REGISTRATION FORM for graduation day will be ACTIVE from **July 12th until 19th **
In the form, you will be asked to upload a short video, accepting your diploma.
SHORT VIDEO
To make the Graduation interactive, we ask Graduates to record a short video saying a few words: you can say thank you, say some words in your native language, or even do a little dance.
BUT, the important thing is to follow the format we request:
- 15 seconds MAX (not one second more)
- Vertical format (you can shoot it with your phone!)
- Not larger than 10MB
- 1080x1920 aspect ratio (portrait)
- MP4 format
- the file you upload MUST be named the following way: name.lastname.node (eg luciana.asinari.barcelona.mp4)
Advice: make it light, fun, its a celebration of your achievement.
Videos that don't fulfill ALL of these requirements won't be featured
SCHEDULE
The Online Graduation Ceremony will take place in 3 sessions:
- Monday, Aug 9th (12.00A EDT)
- Tuesday, Aug 10th (8:00A EDT)
- Thursday, Aug 12th (8:00A EDT)
You will have to choose one of these options, according to your local and personal schedule.
GIVEN THAT WE HAVE LIMITED SPACES FOR EACH SESSION, WE WILL TRY TO ALLOCATE YOUR CHOICE, BUT IF YOU REGISTER TO A DAY THAT IS ALREADY FULL, WE WILL CONTACT YOU TO SEE OTHER POSSIBILITIES.
WHAT DO I HAVE TO DO?
If you want to take part in the ceremony, you must register by filling the form
BEFORE THE CEREMONY
We will send you the PDF version of your Diploma signed by Neil. We suggest that you print it, so you have it in your phone for the final greeting. This is optional. Make sure you test your video and sound before the ceremony and that the setting around you is appropriate, and has enough light. ENTER MUTED!
DURING THE CEREMONY
You will enter into the main Zoom conference for the final greeting at the end of the ceremony. In the meantime, you can watch the event on the YouTube streaming channel. During the graduation session, Neil will call your name and your project slide will show on the screen for some seconds, so everybody gets to see your Final Project. After that, we will show the short video you will send us acknowledging the Diploma. After Neil calls all the names, we will have the last Goodbye when everybody can greet, this will be displayed in gallery mode, so you can have your diploma with you, or just say bye-bye.
AFTER THE CEREMONY
We will have a Zoom breakout session/s if you want to talk with the rest of the graduates.
