Will the briefs never end?! No but seriously it's that time of year again, the time I have to make the awkward transition from relax mode to work mode. There's nothing more motivating to shake off the old dust then the brief post, It's the beginning of a new chapter, a fresh starting point to develop from.
This brief is entitled 'projected visuals' and is the result of a partnership between Nottingham Trent and Urban Angel, we are to produce a set of visuals (6-8 minutes long) to accompany one of fourteen hip/hop, these visuals will later be preformed to live, projected on stage behind the artists. The main outlining requirement is that these visuals have no recognisable narrative, they must be abstract and deviate away from genre conventions (e.g., girls on car bonnets, clubbing, fast cars).
The overall tone I received from the opening lecture was that of total creative freedom, the whole exercise has no right or wrongs, it's completely open to our own interpretation and encourages experimentation. Every question such as "Does it have to fit the theme of the music" and "How many projector are we using" was met with the reply "What ever you want", so I am to assume that I CAN do what ever I want, I will however not deviate from what the leading director at Urban Angel wants: Something not obvious.
