Crazy Convention Project...anyone else in?

[voyager529]

I found a Myspace bulletin today that intrigued me. Christian rock band Superchic[k] had this to say:

So, any church media gurus wanna join forces and make a music video during the convention for "Alive"? Perhaps a compilation of clips from all the classes and worship sessions? Maybe something totally insane - like everyone rocking out to it at Cold Stone?

Another possible project. Phil Vischer is Looking for Flash Animators and Motion Graphics Artists.

...if you're a good motion graphics artist (or know a good motion graphics artist), we want to get to know you, too. When MTV first launched, they had a lot of fun by letting different artists take their logo and do crazy stuff with it. Well, I think it would be fun to do the same thing with JellyTelly. If you're a motion graphics artist, or even a mixed-media animator (clay, paper cut-out, sand on glass, etc.), and you'd like to try something weird that could also get you some exposure, send us an email through this site. We'll send you an Illustrator file of our logo and you can do something fun with it. Animate it. Spray paint it on your dog. (Maybe not real spray paint.) Sculpt it in clay, drop it in an aquarium and film your fish poking at it. Make it a Chia Pet and grow grass on it, filmed time-lapse. Paint each letter on a t-shirt and have a bunch of kids spell it out lying on your lawn, filming them from the roof of your house. They can all kick their legs like a Busby Berkeley dance number.

You can read more about Jelly Telly at PhilVischer.com

They both look fun.

And (not to take away from the above), but another option - if not for the convention, then just for everybody out there - is that I'm on the Community Advisory Board for MiND TV, which is looking for independently-produced 5-minute TV shows to broadcast.

Check out mindtv.org for more info
(warning - not all the videos are endorsing Christian values!)

Here's a fun little video on "how to get started" doing your own videos:
