GSG Cast 03.20: New 5 Second Project – Balloons In Black And White

March 20, 2009

Over forty entries in last week’s theme! This week’s theme is “Balloons in Black and White”. Only videos in black and white will be accepted.

Need an excuse to make something cool this week? Well now is your chance. Use this theme to make a short motion piece and link it in the comments of this blog post or in the Vimeo channel’s shout box.

Don’t forget to watch this week’s LayerTennis today.

Edit: Here is my submission for “Coffee and Triangles”

    In an upcoming GSG Cast, can you talk about your camera gear, and what’s in your camera bag… I love hearing about what a photographer carries around with them to get the shots they get. Just a suggestion, loving the GSG cast!

    I would love to see a case study on how you go from brief to pitched storyboard, possibly with some insight from friends @ dk or otherwise, and what makes a storyboard “sellable”
