Subject: request for help - line movies

I am asking you for help - it should be really fun and not take you to
long, so think about it as a good break for your day or weekend.
Please also forward this to anyone who might be interested...

next week, I am making a performance at the OFFF festival along with
my good friend Theo Watson (of L.A.S.E.R TAG fame).  The idea of the
performance is really quite simple -- the story of a never ending line
-- and the performance will be made up of both videos as well as live
material, and synthesized graphics.

we are asking you, with your awesome brains and wicked fast design
skills, to send us videos in your own style, of a line being drawn
from one side of the screen to another. It can be animated, live
video, computer generated, or some other way we can't even think of
yet.

We would love to get videos from you to use in our performance. The
more imaginative the better! All the videos used will be credited at
the end of the performance so it will be a great chance to show what
you can do with a line and 5 seconds of time.  Multiple submissions
are encouraged!

Rules:

1: The line should start off screen, enter on one side and leave on  
another.
  (doesn't have to be right to left, can be any side to any side,
including the same leaving on the same side the line started on).

2: The line should have the effect of being drawn, not moved across the
  screen. See examples bellow.

  Good: http://impssble.com/OFFF/good.mov
  Bad:  http://impssble.com/OFFF/bad.mov

3: Once a part of a line is drawn it should not move too much, the
animation should be the effect of drawing the line (as in the good
movie above).

4. The video doesn't necessarily have to be the drawing of a line
(although most of what we are working with is), but it can also be
something moving along a very clear path.  The idea should be about
going from point a to point b.

5. Both sound or silent is ok.

6: Videos should be 3 - 8 seconds long, 640 480 quicktime format.
(320x240 also ok)

7: Videos should be submitted to zlieb at parsons.edu  or
theo at muonics.net (if under 10MB) or posted online for download.

8: we need them by tuesday 8th of May.

We hope you enjoy this challenge, and would like to take part in our
project.  Thanks and have fun!

zach & theo
