Creatives Needed For Rough Trade Film! 26 August 2010 in news
We are looking for artists / illustrators / designers to contribute to
a short animated film being produced for the Music Matters
campaign.
The campaign highlights the worth of music against the current climate
of internet piracy.
So far Music Matters made animated films about artists such as Nick Cave, The Jam, Blind Willie Johnson and many others.
Next in line is a film about Rough Trade Records.
We are looking to tell the story of Rough Trade through a series of
animated concert posters.
The range of styles needs to be totally diverse. Everything from a hand made punk poster to conceptual art. So whatever your style we would love for you to be involved.
We will be animating the designs and typography at the end of the process.
If you’re keen send us some samples of what you do and we’ll get you a
proper brief.
Please email your samples to phil@anvilrecordingco.com
