EDITING FASHION New project and with it a creative challenge to all viewers!
Editing Fashion
At last, at last, the editing challenge that we have been speaking of for so long! Our profuse apologies for making you wait. For those of you that don't fancy using that iVideo software you bought way-back-when, there are plenty other goodies in there for Galliano fans. His casting sheets for the Spring/Summer '06 show, for instance. Also mood boards that 'develop' each character and footage of the controversial catwalk presentation itself.
Here's an excerpt from the project intro:
A development out of our three-month MOVING FASHION project at the end of 2005, EDITING FASHION shifts the focus of SHOWstudio's ongoing exploration of fashion film from direction onto the editing process and from established, guest artists onto the SHOWstudio viewer base. For this, we are offering a package of source material –including exclusive film footage shot by Nick Knight and a selection of possible soundtracks by guest artists- that may be downloaded and edited by SHOWstudio Viewers. Viewers are asked to make an edit from the material provided, lasting up to two minutes. By keeping the source material the same in all cases, the emphasis is place on the individual editor’s approach and authorship. The finished films can then be uploaded onto SHOWstudio from mid-January 2006, to be screened in the Viewers’ Cut gallery.
A second phase of this project will see a number of high-profile, internationally-based, professional editors from a range of different genres tackle the same footage to create a series of five-minute shorts in early 2006.
So, there's your homework assignment for the holidays! We can't wait to see what you come up with.
