Gentrification video


This week I did not look into any major artists. Instead, I focused more on my own project that will be premiering March 11, 2011 in the cinema at Lawrence University. Jinglie and I have had an entire week of editing, but for some reason I do not feel like we are far enough in this process. However, I am currently in Chicago getting some more shots for our video. All together we have about two more studio filming sessions with the green screen, and one day to do straight shots of different scenes. Jinglie really has this massive, stylish vision for our music video. I do as well, but I focus more on the content than the style. We both have a similar vision; we are just focusing on different aspects of it. I think our ideas are creative and inspiring. With both of our intellect combined, we will create a video that makes a statement and is still full of style.
On a different note, our product is complete and on sale at Zazzle.com. We are selling posters online for 9.95. Please go on to this website and check out the design we created on Photoshop. Here is what the poster looks like, with the exception of a few titles.

  2. I cannot wait to see how your final product will turn out to be! It seems like you both are putting in tremendous amount of effort (considering you're in Chicago right now!!). It would have been lovely to see some clips of the video on your post though! Nonetheless, I love the poster and it clearly reflects your great Photoshop skills through it ! :)

  3. It sounds like you're both putting a great deal of work into this project, and it sounds like it's going to be incredible. I'm interested to see how it turns out, and to hear more about the process of how you went about working with the green screen, etc. and what sorts of things you found out about working with such materials. I guess it just makes you realize how much time and effort does go into making a music video, even though they are only usually a few minutes long.

  4. Collaborating adds a complex layer of dialog between the creators to come up with aesthetic solutions you may not have come up with on your own. Sometimes you even see and understand yourself and what it is that your value in art much clearer after working on a collaborative project.
