the story of a never ending line
Call for Contributions
Zachary Lieberman is making a performance at the OFFF festival along with his good friend Theo Watson (of L.A.S.E.R TAG fame). The idea of the performance is really quite simple -- the story of a never ending line -- and the performance will be made up of both videos as well as live material, and synthesized graphics.
We are asking you, with your awesome brains and wicked fast design skills, to send us videos in your own style, of a line being drawn from one side of the screen to another. It can be animated, live video, computer generated, or some other way we can't even think of yet.
We would love to get videos from you to use in our performance. The more imaginative the better! All the videos used will be credited at the end of the performance so it will be a great chance to show what you can do with a line and 5 seconds of time. Multiple submissions are encouraged!
Rules:
1: The line should start off screen, enter on one side and leave on
another (doesn't have to be right to left, can be any side to any side, including the same leaving on the same side the line started on).
2: The line should have the effect of being drawn, not moved across the screen. See examples bellow.
Good: http://impssble.com/OFFF/good.mov
Bad: http://impssble.com/OFFF/bad.mov
3: Once a part of a line is drawn it should not move too much, the animation should be the effect of drawing the line (as in the good movie above).
4. The video doesn't necessarily have to be the drawing of a line (although most of what we are working with is), but it can also be something moving along a very clear path. The idea should be about going from point a to point b.
5. Both sound or silent is ok.
6: Videos should be 3 - 8 seconds long, 640 480 quicktime format. (320x240 also ok)
7: Videos should be submitted to zlieb[at]parsons.edu or theo[at]muonics.net (if under 10MB) or posted online for download.
8: We need them by tuesday 8th of May.
We hope you enjoy this challenge, and would like to take part in our project. Thanks and have fun!
