Cornish College of the Arts Design students recently partnered with Encore Media Group's City Arts Magazine to create 20-second trailers that will run before all 400+ screenings during the Seattle International Film Festival from May 22 to June 14, 2008.
According to Paul Heppner, President of Encore Media Group, the mission of City Arts Magazine, with independent monthly issues for Seattle, Tacoma and the Eastside beginning in July 2008 is to "discover and uncover creative talent in our community."
The students, under the direction of Assistant Professor Tiffany Laine De Mott and Adjunct Professor Daniel Thornton were given four weeks to complete the project. Each of the 13 "trailers" that will be on display at the eight S.I.F.F. venues took between 50 and 100 hours to complete - all for just for 20 seconds of creativity. According to Thornton, "this was a great opportunity for our faculty to work next to the students, learning from each other. I am so proud of what they have done in terms of leveraging the current technology to drive the narrative and I can't wait for others to see their work."
