STUFF THAT MOVES!!
Our exhibition happened! I'm sorry I didn't update on it before because it might have been nice to have a record of my own excitement but I was far too busy to find any time to write about it in any places that weren't 100% necessary. I was to busy talking to people who on the space, making Facebook pages, chasing up people for films, talking to local business' about putting up fliers for us.
Weirdly the hardest part of all this was trying to mobilise the students. Most of them didn't want involved until the fun parts, like the actual day set up. Some of them were really good though. And some of them not only did nothing but they didn't even come to the exhibition.
Anyway I just thought I'd put all the promotional work I had a hand in creating in here. We did a lot of really good stuff all together but I'm just going to post the parts I helped with.
This is the poster I made for stuff that moves. I am pleased with it. I love the colours and I love the concept. I really like it and I'm going to keep some of my copies. I just worked straight with the basic elements in the title. Stuff that moves. The movement I embodied in the swirling pink that is helping the rabbit/panda creature levitate. Then to embody the film part I included a box back telly. I used to have a massive one in my family living room when I was a kid and so I have really fond memories of them. The panda/rabbit creature, I don't even know. When I saw this concept in my head I saw him too and I loved him. If I couldn't see him as vividly as this I would likely have given up on the idea because for a period of time none of this was working.
Ok so this was our physical marketing but physical marketing can't move and that left us with a massive blind spot in our marketing in that stuff that moves is a fairly ambiguous title so how are we going to tell them it's animation? Or even so much as capitalise on the movement part. So to do it we also had a digital promotional campaign. We made a gif and a trailer.
Earlier in the semester as well, we were fundraising and being artists we thought we should try and sell some art. So we had as many people as possible create prints to be sold along side cakes. For some reason we did this in the art school, which made no sense to me because artists don't need more art but hey that's what happened. I didn't sell anything. I was not happy. Anyway this was the illustration I had printed.
