Hand-Coloured Film Clip Thing
Hello,
Melbourne band Bright Knights are making a film clip with internet and crayons.
They’re asking people to download frames from the video to colour (by hand, no photoshop allowed). The hand-coloured frames will be assembled into the most beautiful collaborative film clip you ever did see.
It’s a nice idea I thought. We are helping them with the nerdy internet side of things, so w…

Mini Book Review: Subject to Change
