Incorporating Nam June Paik

I have discussed with my colleagues that we can incorporate Nam June Paik by adding a small two second edit showing multiview of a single scene in the intro. The image would appear to be television sets. How we will be doing this and other signature Paik affects remains to be scene.

Incorporating Jean-Luc Godard

To incorporate the video artist Jean-Luc Godard into a sketch comedy piece, we are going to have one of the actors look into the lens to break the fourth wall. JLG was very much about making the audience aware of the camera and crew's presence. In his pieces, he always wanted to remind the audience that they were in fact watching a film.

Therefore having an actor look directly into the camera will bring the audience into the piece and remind them that they are watching a movie and that suspending their disbelief is not our intention, just like JLG. This is the most logical cinematic element of his that we can seamlessly incorporate into the piece.

About the Project

This will be a short video some what like a sketch comedy.  Two nerdy girls look for a roommate and new friend.  A mistake in the ad for the open room, brings men looking for some love and hopefully it's funny.
