people in the video

I was also thinking about the video that imitates "don't vote"
as we said, we should ask people in the dining hall in Usdan, in Pi café, Higgins, S. Plous (the professor of social psychology), Alice Hadler, Roth.

I know it is not an emergency but taht can serve as a reminder for later.

See you tomorrow, at 1.30 pm!
hey guys!

it is the video I told you about for the music.
I don't know about the rights though but Vero, you said you knew someone that could help us, no ?

Videos

"What does your car (...) say about you" 1min
Re-make of the Greenpeace commercial. Instead of a car we could use trays/paper cups/water/energy etc. We could make again, three versions. One in Usdan, one in the dorms and one in library/classroom.

Click here to watch the video.

Videos

"Waiting for Global Warming"
1. A
A close-up of a guy sitting in a desk. He is bored. He plays with a pencil, whistles, makes faces, looks into the camera. 15-20 sec
1.B
Extreme Long Shot of a huge classroom. The classroom is empty, except for the guy. After about 3 sec comes a title: "John Smith. Waiting for Global Warming." 10-15 sec.
2.A
TITLE on a black screen: "And how long are YOU going to wait?"
2.B
SLOGAN. Join Wesleyan
2.C
Visit website.

Total length: 45 sec

The same structure for 2 other variations of "Waiting for Global Warming". One suggestion: Guy in the middle of a busy crossroad (could be Manhattan?) sitting on a chair. Any ideas? What about subway?

"Spread the Word"
total length: 1min
Sequence of short shots of students/faculty/staff spreading "the word". Examples: student whispering to other student on a lecture, student writing a message and putting in secretly into a book in the library, president Roth coming to his office and finding a huge envelope in middle of his mail, student writing a message on a wall, student standing on the roof of CFA and calling message, etc.

Other ideas?
This video would be followed by a "real" spread the word campaign.


"Don't" 2 - 3 min
Wesleyan variation on "Don't vote" commercial. Collection of professors, students and visible figures on campus (cook from Bon Appetite etc.) "Don't compost, don't recycle etc."

Look at "Don't Vote"

IDEAS

Hi all,

I will try to post up some photos/storyboards before we meet on Thursday so that you can check it out before. Joanna, if you could do the same, it would be great.

Please please, comment on what we post on, so we can keep on changing and improving the proposals and also write ideas. Feel free to post anything that could inspire us (posters, pics, photos, videos, articles etc.)

Inspiration

Just click on the links below!

RECYCLING ADD
"You are never too young to start recycling."

GREEN NYC
This one is animated, but I post it anyway, because it appeals to the small actions we want people to take.

A VERY POWERFUL ADD


Josh, do you have link to the one we wanted to remake (car)?
Everyone, please feel free to post anything inspiring!

Social Justice Posters - Ideas




These are some of the photographs from Mongolia we could use for our "social justice and environment" campaign. We also have photos from Tanzania, Mali and most of Latin America.

The text is there just to give you an idea. The borders would be obviously smaller.
