Let's make corpses#7-9?

Hey guys&girls,

Let's start making our new and last series of 2008?

Yes, I know, we barely finished #4-6, but I would really like to finish this year with more.

Cheers,
kika



So here it is, our new series participants list:

Corpse#7
Michael Chang (Denmark) | Jan Kather (USA) | Niclas Hallberg (Sweden) | Renata Padovan (Brazil) | Ulf Kristiansen (Norway) | Tim Pickerill (USA) | Ronee Hui (England) | Romuald Beugnon (France) | Hans Manner-Jakobsen (Denmark) | Kai Lossgott (South Africa)

Corpse#8
Anders Weberg (Sweden) | Joshua & Zachary Sandler (USA) | Kika Nicolela (Brazil) | Nung-Hsin Hu (Taiwan) | Brad Wise (USA) | Stina Pehrsdotter (Sweden) | Christian Leduc (Canada) | Caroline Breton (France) | Jan Hakon Erichsen (Norway) | Pila Rusjan (Slovenia)

Corpse#9
Joy Whalen (USA) | Per E Riksson (Sweden) | Marty McCutcheon (USA) | John Pirard (Belgium) | Alexandra Buhl (Denmark) | Simone Stoll (Germany) | Alicia Felberbaum (England) | Lucas Bambozzi (Brazil) | Pedro Reis (Portugal) | Mads Ljungdahl (Denmark)


CORPSE#7-9 RULES:

1. Each participant is required to make a 1 minute video based on the 10 sec he receives from the previous artist. The first artist in each thread will start his video with the last 10 sec from Corpse#6.

2. Each artist should integrate the 10 sec from the previous participant in the best way possible. Ideally, the transitions from one piece to the next should be fluid.

3. There are no pre-conceived themes. The idea is to get inspired by what the previous artist made.

4. Each artist has up to 7 days to work on his piece. Let me know if you need more time by any chance.

5. All participating artists must be on artreview and members of the Video Artists Group.

6. All videos excerpts used on the project must be original material shot and edited by the participating artists.

7. Older footage can be used if never used before in other projects.

8. It is suggested that the artists don’t sound & image copyrighted material.

9. The resulting video is propriety of all participating artists and may be exhibited by any of them, but always with credits for all the artists. All artists must be notified about each screening and/or exhibition.

10. The preferable video format for this project is Quicktime files (codec DV NTSC or codec H2654 system NTSC). You may shoot in any format, but the final render should be this. The shared 10 seconds files should be also in this format.

11. The files sharing must be done through www.filecentral.se or www.pando.com. Through those websites, you can easily send large files. The sign up is free.

12. You only send the last 10 seconds to the next artist on the line.

13. As soon as you finished your whole piece, you may send it to me, Kika Nicolela, the project manager (the whole 70 seconds: 10 seconds you’ve received from the previous artist + your 60 seconds). I'll stitch together everyone's pieces and finished Corpse#7, Corpse#8 and Corpse#9 simultaneously. Then I'll share the final videos with everyone from the group. Email address: kika@dilemastudio.com

14. Let's keep everybody posted at the forum about who's presently working on the project.

15. The genre is open to any experimental one - video art, experimental animation, video performance, video dance, video essay, video poetry etc. The only rule is: integrate the piece of video you got from the last artist in the best way that you can, and continue it with your own video. The final video will be a patchwork of all these short videos, but hopefully the collected videos can be 'stitched' together thanks to this method of sharing.

16. The videos may contain sound or not, it depends of your concept.

17. DO THE BEST WORK YOU CAN! If you feel you can't give your best right now for whatever reason, please refrain from participating. We are serious about this project and it will be exhibited worldwide.

18. Everyone is encouraged to take part on the forums both at www.artreview/groups/videoartists and http://exquisitecorpsevideoproject.ning.com . Please let’s make an effort to keep the dialogs on a friendly and generous tone. You’re welcome to also collaborate on our multiple efforts to screen, exhibit and spread the project and its videos.

You might argue that the rules have already been broken by people taking more than a week to finish their 60 seconds.
Having said that, I don't really have an opinion on whether or not it should be shown incomplete. I think it's a shame if it misses this deadline tho.

I know. But bear in mind that this festival was supposed to exhibit only Corpses#1-3. I insisted and they accepted showing #4-6. And only recently they told me that they could also find a way to exhibit #7-9 and that I should bring a DVD with me.
I mean, this deadline didn't exist when we began working. So no need to be harsh on people who took extra days refining their pieces. the fact is that whoever starts first, has some advantages and some disadvantages too.
Beijos,
Kika

Just an update:
#7 - Hans (last one on this thread)
#8 - Caroline (still other 2 artists to go, Jan Hakon and Pila)
#9 - Lucas (still other 2 artists left, Pedro and Mads).
We're almost there!!!

Hi everyone,

I want to ask everyone to send me your finished corpses (there are some people who haven't sent me their 60 secs).

I also need the credits! Musicians, performers etc. Send it to my email: kika@dilemastudio.com

I will edit everything on Tuesday. So probably the Corpses#8 and #9 will be screened incomplete in Toronto (2 or 1 artist in each thread, so not so bad). I'm sorry about that, but we will have many other exhibitions to come!

Love to all,

Kika

You've my full 60 secs as far as I know? Nobody did any work on it aside from me, so no other credits.

hey people, I'm editing and it's looking good! I just got Lucas' piece, and it's great.
Pedro, Jan, Kai - hurry up if you want to make it to this exhibition!

I am trying, but it will be a small miracle if I am actually able to finish this today. I'll start editing now, but if I need to do anymore filming I won't make it.

just finished the DVD of corpses 7-9: CONGRATULATIONS ALL!!!

they are pretty good. for those who haven't done their pieces (kai, jan hakon, pila, pedro and mads), don't worry, you will be included as soon as you're done. not in time for Alucine, though...

I'm very proud of us - we've almost done with our volume 1, 9 corpses since May.

prepare yourselves to start the 2009 volume 2!!!

xoxoKika

I'm uploading my corpse now! It was interesting to see how this project made me make video in a very different way than I'm used too...
