Wirksworth Festival
29th August 2008
I’ve just finished working with a group of young people from The Anthony Gell School in Wirksworth. They have very cleverly formed a mini company to promote the forthcoming festival with the specific aim of getting young people involved. With expert help from OrangeBox Design they came up with a marketing strategy which included several short films. The young people storyboarded each film and went a long way towards filming and editing them too, all in three days. I then added a bit of spit and polish. I’m particularly impressed by their idea with the dancer at the end of the main promo, and the thinking that went into the advert (which had to be “weird and surreal” according to their self-imposed brief).
