HERE WE GO AGAIN

OK Go - Here It Goes Again from OK Go on Vimeo.

Moving into the final two weeks....

Here's the inspirational video I've chosen for you as we move into the final countdown...

By now most of you've emailed me with your choice of Merit Award nominees. If you have not yet sent me yours, it's time to do so NOW!  Remember, you all need to have by tomorrow is..

1. An outline- How will you pitch your artist/ designers work?
2. At least 3 jpgs. or 1- 2  short (30 sec. or less...) videos of the work of your chosen artist or designer
 Please bring these with you on a flash drive or your computer to class TOMORROW so we can load them on my computer and prepare for your final presentation next week.

Remember... you will want to present your nominee's work in the best light possible.  Be prepared to defend them to the jury.  Some questions you may want to ask are...
1. What kinds of work does the artist/designer do? (slides, movie, title, media, date,....aka. internal   information)
2. Why do they do this work? Context for the work...(External info)
3. What is it YOU love about the work...
4. Why do they deserve the award- what makes their work the MOST interesting/deserving/fabulous?


Oh yes, I've been saving an interesting site for you for just this moment.  It's called Kickstarter and it's a site where artists/designers can make a pitch for donations to support their projects.  For some interesting examples of ways to present (or ways NOT to present) work take a look at the videos on the site, and you be the judge.
It may give you some ideas...

Feel free to post inspirational videos for the final countdown.  

The best video will get the final art junk prize of the semester.

See you tomorrow...
