[CIMC-work] Call for funky, short, pretty video for titles, bumpers etc. DON"T IGNORE PLEASE!!

Hoi Gois

That all sounds reasonable. As I said, the literature says 13GB=60 mins. of a 
project, and that's unrendered. The "multiply by 5" rule of thumb is to be on 
the safe side if you're doing everything you can possibly do to a project. 

As discussed at our last meeting, I'll be throwing together some titles to fit 
around the video footage for episode five. I'll be bringing these titles as 
well as the captured project file of Demetrio Maguidad's "Beyond The 
Streets"for assembly into a show on the Mac in the Indymedia offices on the 
3rd of May. The assembly of the show on this date from all the data files we 
bring along will be a collective process and is a wee bit experimental so do 
come along and add to the fun.

As long as everyone brings rendered video files for assembly, there should be 
no problem with space. We do need to agree on final cut or premiere. I would 
prefer to go with final cut, because that's what I'm using, but that's just 
me.

NOW. A REQUEST.

A. Sexy Footage.
We need sexy footage for the titles. By that I mean segments of video that are 
colourful, captivating and reflect a piece of your mind. There is ABSOLUTELY 
no need for this footage to make any logical sense, have any strict narrative 
or to be linear in any way. Anything goes as long as you think it's cool and 
it's something other people might like/have to see. The footage will hopefully 
form part of a collage playing behind the intros and titles for Episode 5. 

B. Sexy Music.
We need sexy music for the titles. I think you all know what that means. Some 
of you may know people in bands/sing in the shower/play the spoons. I know 
some bands have already given us the nod to use their music (thanks Magnus) 
but we need more. This is an excellent opportunity to go to bars and live gigs 
all over the city and schmooze with rock stars. Don't ignore the sexy DJs 
either, if that's your bag. Just come home with the CDs and the nod from the 
creators.

Some of you might like to help me with the creation of titles. I will be 
working in Evanston at my office after hours so I can't have people in willy 
nilly but if you're interested let me know.

If you have anything pertaining to the aforementioned sexy items, give me a 
call on my cellphone and I can arrange to pick it up. Or email me or the video 
list.7736277625.

THANKS!

Andrew
