Hi Heather and teachers, Heather in video submission, could you please elaborate a little bit about what is the criteria for a short video. What should a video show? Should it have a visual narrative? Two of my students need advice on this as it is not really well explained anywhere, that I know. I am not referring to animation, but a video. We would highly appreciated your guidance. I told my students, I was going to ask around...Thank you very much. Ciao, Irene

Hi Irene,
The guide specifications are only for file types and size:
Video: F4V, M4V, MOV, MP4 5 MB
max 5 minutes/500 MB
it would be interesting to hear other teachers experience with this....anyone? I think this is an important area to open a discussion, Ill make a new page about it too once we get some feedback here.

Hi Heather,
I have a student who is animating her collages via a digital process. e.g. a medusa with several winking eyes. Do you have any suggestions how I can help her refine these. I'm a little lost for reference points here. Whilst the images are very satisfying on one level I'd like to be able to give some purposeful feedback... thanks and all the best to you!

Hi Phil, difficukt to comment without seeing the work. I would steer her towards some contemporary artists working with collage/animation, try Pippilotti Rist, William Kentridge, Camille Henrot, there are many. cheers!
