Our friends at the Big Screen Project in New York have devoted lots of their city cinema programming to making the arts accessible in today’s technological urban landscape. For their newest project, a partnership with the New Art Dealers Alliance and the New Museum, they’re incorporating a fun new video experiment as part of the Festival of Ideas this coming May—but they need your help.The Festival of Ideas features a long list of participating organizations and events, but the New Museum wants their booth with NADA and the Big Screen Project to stand out. In their open call for submissions, they’re asking performers to create a cool video in one take, and one take only. The “One Shot” video experiment wants you to take cues from a band that inspires us again and again with their innovative music video experiments: OK Go. The project’s call for entries cites the band’s “White Knuckles” music video, shown above, as a prime example for your own ambitious orchestrations.Apply to compete here. Six proposals will be selected and entered as finalists into the competition. Each team will then have one hour to shoot as many takes as they can of their five-minute submission. OK Go will choose their favorite. The winning take will premiere on the Big Screen Project’s big, public screen in Manhattan, and will be broadcast on NADA’s website, an even bigger and more public screen. The video may be filmed in just one take, but we’re sure the internet will want to watch it over and over again.Apply by April 15 for your shot at superstardom. “One Shot” will be filmed at the New Museum’s Festival of Ideas on Saturday, May 7.
