Hi all,
There's a competition going at the moment for 3 young artists to win £30,000 each to fund their work for a year. My idea is essentially an album (as well as a video shoot) but someone else asked the judges if a pressed album would be enough...the response was...
"I'm afraid a CD wouldn't be enough, there must be some kind of presentation or showing. Perhaps you could stage a gig where you play your new songs or have a listening party?"
I think they want some sort of final event, especially as a lot of the entrants will be film makers and writers for theatre. Could anyone suggest something that could be unique? I think my album idea is unique enough so I don't want to overshadow it with an elaborate event...and I don't think a gig would go down well. The album's theme is a wild west sort of thing.
I was thinking on like a documentary of the album ie start to finish, writing to recording, then a screening at a local independent picture house - to do this though I'd need some supporting documentary making content in my online portfolio - so I'd have to get a move on!
Any ideas would be really appreciated though, I'm just after some feedback and advice. Thanks
