Big johns Class

Today in big johns class we learned about different video artists what they have made and why they have made it. The first video artist we learned about was Douglas Gordon who is a scottish artist who made the film Zidane which consists of 17 cameras following zidane in one football match. In the film The scottish Band Mogwais Music was used.

The second video we learned about was the Video by Sony Bravia which consists of 250,000 bouncy balls of different colors being thrown down one street. This was made by Nicolai Fuglsig This was done because Bravia's slogan is Color like No Other   so multi Colored balls were used.

The Third artist we learned about was Jonathan Glazer who created the next advert for Sony Bravia which consists of a condemned tower block in Scotland which was covered in 70,000 litres of environmentally friendly paint with the help of over 1400 separate explosions featured as imitation fireworks, concluding with a simulated "reverse demolition" of the building. This was filmed with a crew of 200 people over a 10 day period. The music in the commercial was done by Gioachino Rossini.
