As I mentioned in an earlier post, I recently finished a 30 second PSA for the San Francisco based nonprofit, Writerscorps. They organize awesome events and offer free programs to the community, such as writing workshops, poetry readings, and after school programs. I’ve worked with them on several video projects, including this stop motion promo for their Poetry Projection Project film festival.
The video in this post was created to be played during a Giants game and, much to my delight, it aired on the big screen at Giants Stadium two weeks ago. I can hardly wait to start production on the book trailer for Writerscorps in the fall. They’ve given me complete creative freedom to make a video to promote their book City of Stairways, a poet’s guide to San Francisco. It acts as a travel guide to the SF, including poems that were written by high school students in the various locations mapped out in the book.
Oh, the creative possibilities!
I met these two about a month ago on Bart. Impressed with their intricately decorated clothing, I asked how long it took them embellish their jackets. “About a week,” the girl responded, neon green hair to match the plastic mountain dew cup in her hand. At first, I was intimidated to ask for their photo, but they were actually sweethearts about the whole thing. I can’t remember their names, but I remember that he plays in a punk band and she’s here visiting from Reno. I wish them well :)
