Over the last few weeks I have been spending a large amount of time at Facebook. This site has turned out to be the best online community I have every experienced.
A week ago, Bernard Dumaine and I collaborated on an exquisite corpse technique film, last night I put the video section together of our second EC film. I will post a link or the video here as soon as I get a soundtrack added to the film. I also started a group at Facebook for Exquisite Corpse and Collaborative Films for those that are interested in creating these videos. By clicking the banner above you will be taken to the group.
The Exquisite Corpse process is as follows: Two or more artists collaborate to create a film. A section of film is created using animations,stills and live video footage.The artist then creates a short clip created from the last seconds of their section to be sent to the next artist taking part in the exquisite corpse, from the short clip the next artist begins their section of film. This process is continued until the film is completed and then assembled. It is important that the artist receiving the shot clip have no knowledge of the elements within the full section of film the short clip was cut from.
Collaborative Surreal Films are created by two or more artists working together in a collaborative fashion to create a video. The creation of a collaborative film can be discussed and planned by the artists taking part in the film.
