folks - I have another website called 'subjectY'.
pronounced 'Subject Y' or 'Subject Why'... eh - say it as you want...
... now, about a year ago or so - I put a call out to NT for ya'll to design up some subjectY logos for the site.
You get nothing for doing this - it's just for fun... but I'm not in the mood to come up with something - so I thought I'd ask you folks if you're up to the challenge of helping me out.
The site is going to be all video. Not just mine - but friends.. even you guys. :) It's just gonna be a little video experiment site.
Start tossing me ideas. :)

sorry about that "why" post. too many beers.
why the name?
what will the film(s) be about?

well... there was this one time I was out art-directing a photoshoot for a magazine that I used to work for...
... the photographer wanted to set up the shot, do the whole poloraid thing etc. etc...
... he refered to the final subject (the model) as 'subject X'.
"I need to shoot subject Y first in order to figure out light etc. etc... then when we get it right - we insert subject X", said the photographer with a hint of playfulness.
Sooo... I got this idea - why not build a site for photographers where they can post all their 'subject Y' images - you know, the photo assistant or the art director or just some poor lutz off the street...
... but then I got to thinking - why not take that a step further and build a site of videos that are just amature attempts at either stories or simple art-peices... where if they were really good peices... they should then take them to the 'subject X' level.
Does this make any sense?

rad! good start :)
also... send your videos!! or upload them and link to them - so I can start up some content.
there's some junk up there right now: http://www.subjecty.com
... and it's just dumped up there.
All files are going to be converted to flv's and played via embedded flash files... so don't worry about compression.

thanks boss...my intentions were to leave them looking a little 'undone'...ya know to help represent the amaturish raw films...something tooo purdy would be a little too bleh.

- janne0

reminds me of the era of films like metropolis and stuff like that..
