Hey All,
I am not sure what will come of this, but wanted to open things up the the community here to opportunity. I have been brainstorming on ways for artists within the community to stay independent regardless of how the community is doing. Here is one of the ideas.
Are you an artist with something to teach and the skills to do it well? If so, now a good time for you and the community to benefit from it. This is a new way for artists to both support the community and be supported by it. We believe artists who help in the community should be able to find financial independence, and also wish to help promote the artists within conceptart.org, who are doing a great job and deserve tto be promoted around the world. ConceptArt.Org uses download funds to continue to build the site, improve education, and invest in the future of art through education.
Tutorial videos are easily created if you have the skills to make quality art. This is another way for those of skill to see their ideas, their teachings, and their work reach a global audience and at the same time help improve the world of art and their ability to make it financially.
ConceptArt.Org is now accepting quality submissions for the downloadable training library we are building exclusively here on the site. You may submit your content to me directly at jmanley@massiveblack.com Videos must NOT be released to the public for CA to sell them in our library of educational content.
The basics are this:
1. Create video tutorial, with voice over and render at 1024x768 resolution. Include at least 20-30 important tips on the general subject including commentary about what is going on in your head as you make the work. Be sure that any use of tools are highlighted or mentioned during the process so others can follow along.
a. video tutorials can be created using camtasia and then edited. Voice-over can be completed either during the recording or after it has been edited if you desire.
2. Submit video tutorial to ConceptArt.Org for approval. If approved, we will send you a contract outlining the process for payment, including profit sharing and distribution information. You may also submit your idea, prior to making it, along with some samples of the work you are doing that is of a similar quality. CA will approve final submissions but are open to providing input to professionals looking to do this.
3. See your work reach all corners of this massive community and watch others improve because of it. We will send newsletters announcing your teachings to the artists throughout the site, and help you promote your good name that way.
Video tutorials can be various lengths with final time frames of around 50 to 90 minutes being best. Shorter videos may also be submitted for sale at a lower price point, to be determined by ConceptArt.Org.
Longer videos should be broken into parts in terms of what is being taught so that they can still be downloaded easily and understood well.
Please let me know if you have questions here in the thread. If you are still a beginner, this is not the thread or opportunity for you. If you are doing professional or strong quality work and have teachings to share, this is a great way to have an impact here and take advantage of the high traffic and promotion associated with the community.
If you are creating videos from scratch, please take a look at the current http://media.massiveblack.com/ download library to be sure that you are not doing something that has been done (ala perspective by Carl Dobsky).
Best and thanks,
