Welcome Back! Check out the Fashion / Video Collaboration!

Hey Students!
Welcome Back to school for the Summer Quarter!
Jason Moore has sent me a link to the video portfolio for the Raymond Chow collection. This video is a collaboration between the Fashion Department and the Video Department, supervised by Fan Wu and Jason Moore. The idea was for a fashion student to collaborate with filmmakers to create a video portfolio for the collection. Three fashion students had their collections shot by video students as an experimental approach to documenting and displaying a line of clothing. All students collaborated on the content, shooting, and design of the project. The link provided is for Raymond Chow's collection. Check out the video at the link below.

Short Films! Short of the Day

A companion piece with the previous post.
Film School Rejects (film blog) has a section on their site where they post a short film a day. This is a great spot to get more exposure to the short film market. Check out the listing below. Enjoy! - Eve.

Short Film a Day - FSR

Short Films! Blue Tongue Productions

The instructors and I are working on bringing your awareness to some fantastic short film work that is currently being produced. Readers of this blog know that I follow a film podcast called The Golden Briefcase. They had a great episode recently discussing short films. Among their recommendations was the short, Spider (posted below). This film is one of many from the Australian production company, Blue Tongue Films. I have posted their channel below for your reference. After reviewing their archive, I was amazed at how many of these films I have seen and recommended in the past. Blue Tongue is a great example of what a collective of filmmakers can do together. While you are in school, begin to create relationships that will last you through out your career. Filmmaking is all about team work.

Enjoy the films! - Eve.
