SO!
I grabbed some great footage of Mary Kay on Saturday after Creative Arts Day! I'm hoping to work with Andy to edit soon. I think I am all set on video taping Mary Kay. I would like to grab some more shots of Brandi working in the studio as well.
As for the other artists... I guess we will have to wait until after spring break- since I'll be in El Salvador. It's been pretty tricky getting them to respond. March is going to be a jam packed month for sure!
I found some really cool videos of Selwyn Senatori (a neo-pop artists that I discovered when I went to Europe). Maybe we can have some editing like this?

Updates!
YAY! I started filming... last Friday, Feb 22nd! Unfortunately, my first artist was incredibly late - so we had to smash some footage before I had to run off to work... on the bright side, I let her know about Creative Arts Day & she is going to work in the studio during it & we will film after I get done giving tours that day! 2 birds with one stone - the Art Dept has people in it & I can get footage of her working. We were going to try to film at her house, which is 45 mins away... we both decided it best to film on campus, that way we can show her beautiful artwork that happens to all be located at UC on her shelf!
So here's a blue note - literally blue. I videotaped Brandi as well this week & unfortunately the video camera I borrowed from the Library was not color calibrated correctly and everything was BLUE. I figured it was just the screen. NOPE! I was very wrong. So I have to go see Andy, to see if I can fix the footage or if we need to retape :/
I AM very excited about the time-lapse video I took of Brandi (while she was painting a portrait- of ME!) it's incredible... it took two days for the painting.. and I think she is doing some finishing touches next week - I've got about 1 minute 10 seconds of time lapsed painting! it's SO COOOL!!!! I need to obviously merge the videos & include a front text for the film. but it's almost done! yay!
So, I had an idea to incorporate the making of the Senior Art Show flyer into a promo video for the show. I asked to have the artists save the work in incriments so it can 'build'. I got some news that it did not get saved - however, I have got conflicting news. So, I have to figure this all out.
I'm also still trying to rangle the last two artists for filming - while still trying to get an interesting angle for the VCD majors... they have a more advertising outlook on their work - very different than Mary Kay & Brandi's Advocacy Art

Time lapse video
I found an absolutely fabulous article on how to make a time lapse video.. it has all the steps, equipment, and things you didn't think of that will mess you up. wonderful.. I think the best bet (since I don't have a dslr camera) and I do not own a time controller device is to download the time lapse app for the iphone/ipod/ipad (now only $1.99!) what a steal! haha.
I will talk to Diane tomorrow about borrowing her Ipad and downloading the app... very excited for the time lapse vid!
http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/how-to-make-time-lapse-video-ultimate-guide/
I also enjoyed how they incorporated time lapse photo stills along with with actual video of them painting... I was thinking this would be cool if we had a few segments of Brandi's paint pallet and her brush strokes
(obviously utilizing two different video cams)

time lapse video over a longer span of time

cool painting / drawing video

I want to make it more interesting than this video, but same painting concept

Meetings Galore
Marketing:
-will set up a webpage off of the UC website specifically for the senior art students
-the QR code will be directed specifically to the vimeo or youtube video located on the website (hopefully the video will appear fullscreen in the mobile mode)
-We can utilize 'Tony' to generage a qr code - hopefully we can either customize an image in the code or have the qr code within the medium of the artists choice. (this will be explored once video footage is taken care of)
things to think about:
-artist sketches, footage while working on piece, can walk around and get multiple angle
-1-2 minutes in length , remember to tape in quiet room (well lit, no fans, etc.) possibly
-placement of QR codes underneath artist statements in gallery
-creating a playful 'station' to download code scanner & also incorporating qr codes on promotion material for the senior show
I need to do some test footage on the flip cam or cam from library (I'm getting anxious because I do not know what quality would be best)
Artists:
-I've set up 2/4 dates to start filming artists
-I finally tracked down the last artist & got her contact info to call her and set up a day
-Brandi and I will video tape the time lapse video Friday after her 'interview' video ( VERY EXCITED) placement is key.
-working with the artists to structure a video that is relevant is incredibly tricky. especially for the vcd majors. I ran into Heather and we discussed her work.. I will need to further investigate a more 'advertising angle' for her video.. I have all of these very large ideas- however timing and the ability to actually construct something so extensive is what I'm lacking in.

Bare Bones Timeline
Andy is available 8:30-5 with a day or two in notice
Brandi- Tuesdays
Heather & Constance - Class on Mondays - will talk to Constance on Monday in betwen my class, waiting on reply from Heather
Mary Kay- contacted- waiting on reply
Working out a time to be the model in Brandi's portrait and also utilize this for her timelapse! excited!
I am visualizing a 'documentary style' video clip, on angle, more relaxed, with areas of voice over.. I will need lots of footage... editing is key!
I watched this documentary on Alice Neel in my Women in Arts class.. it actually caught the classes attention due to the way it was filmed & the content being so... off the wall.
I think it's important to make this interesting, I'm sure we will get good stuff once we get the artists talking - positive things of course - but interesting.
Also, it was suggested to me that we could also utilize a projector in the front hall prior to people walking in.. pondering this over..

CMA Gallery One Experience
I am SO utterly impressed with the CMA's Gallery One. Holy Moly! It's fantastic! I was like a little kid in a candy shop... and there were actually little kids experiencing this too!!
Needless to say, I am most definitely trying to get a good creative edge for the Wasmer Gallery... especially after seeing what just came out at the CMA.
I spoke with Diane, the most important aspect of this project is to put the artists & the Gallery in a positive light. I had so much enthusiasm for my experience at the Gallery One .. I need to make people just as excited & interested in attending the Senior Art Show!
I think utilizing social media will really help.. showing the artists (who they are, what they are making & thinking [I know first hand, that until I read the little plack next to an art piece or read about it in a book I may be a little lost as to the message artists are trying to get across] and the process of them actually DOING it)
I was thinking of making the artists & the viewers connected somehow..
Picasso's La Vie was shown at the CMA as well, it was very interesting to see his sketches & know the back story of his work. They also did an x-ray of one of his pieces and found that it was something entirely different than the finished product..
This blog entry & the one below are all incredibly fun interactive things I experienced at:
The
Lute Player, Samuel Arlent-Edwards, Late 1800s – early 1900s
This chipper lute player looks to the side as if hearing an unseen accompanist
Portrait of Lisa Colt Curtis, John Singer Sargent, 1898
Lisa Colt Curtis looks off into the distance. Her slight smile might allude to happy thoughts.
Good Night, Samuel Arlent-Edwards, Late 1800s – early 1900s
Out of the darkness, this sweet young girl’s joyful, tender expression shines brightly in the candlelight.
