SVA Is... Video Series/ Script Writing/Video Direction

I initiated and wrote creative briefs and scripts for this video series about the School of Visual Arts in NYC, featuring interpretations of various topics related to the college. All videos are created by either alumni, students or faculty of School of Visual Arts.

Since trying to describe SVA is a bit like describing Hieronymus Bosch’s Garden Of Earthly Delights or maybe even Dante Alighieri’s Inferno, it simplifies matters immensely to NOT require any one piece to attempt the task.

SVA is... In Motion!—Our inaugural video explores the authentic artistic process—ideation, interpretation, execution and exhibition. This video shows collaborators from different disciplines at the College working on location in SVA’s labs and studios, showcasing SVA’s vast resources. The video ends, cleverly, revealing the project all the students were working on... the QR poster visible in the NYC subway system that initiated the video.

SVA is... Show Business!— Show filmmaking and the process of piecing together creative productions.

SVA is... Telling Stories- Something we are pretty good at...
