Would you like a chance to become a permanent part of AIB’s history?
We are currently conducting a contest to pick an idea for an animated television commercial promoting AIB’s Centennial Celebration! Yes, that’s right, AIB is turning 100 years old during the 2012/13 academic year. And we’ll be celebrating in a variety of ways throughout the year, with special exhibitions, visiting artist talks, student and alumni exhibitions, and more. We will also be spreading the word about AIB through advertisements, banners, billboards, and this television commercial. We are looking for some terrific visual ideas that encapsulate what our school is all about!
The commercial will be 30 seconds long and can be done in any visual medium that can be animated. Your proposal for a commercial should be in the form of a visual script or storyboard of what you are proposing to have produced as an animated work. The elements that must be included in the commercial are:
2. the college’s full title: The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University
3. the AIB and Lesley logos
4. each of our school’s majors (Animation, Illustration, Design, Photography, Fine Arts and Art History)
We need for the fact that it is our 100th year / Centennial Celebration to be prominent in the commercial you propose.
Real photos and images of fine art are encouraged in your proposed commercial.
There will be a $200 prize for the commercial concept that is selected. All ideas submitted may wind up in the final commercial and all artists whose work is used in the commercial will be given credit for their contributions to the project. A team of AIB Animation students will work together to create this commercial over the coming summer. The winner of this contest can choose whether or not they want to be a part of the animation team that works on the final project. There is no obligation to the winner other than providing the artwork that will serve as the inspiration for the commercial.
The deadline for submissions of proposals for this TV commercial is May 23!
We hope you will enter this contest as soon as possible.
All submissions and questions should be submitted electronically to:
Brandon Strathmann, Acting Chair
Animation Department, AIB
