Dear Christina,

I don't know how this captures 'Humanity' but it has humans in it. One of the individuals is actually wheelchair bound; and here she is, 88 floors about the ground. I love how each individual is doing his/her own pose.

Each pose, frozen in this frame.


Kind Regards,

-Jian

christina, can you tell us more about this project of yours?

Jian Ming said...

Christina: Thanks tina. Yes actually tell us more about the project. It makes capturing or picturing a shot to capture much easier.=)

So its not really a project as it is the advertising poster for a symposium we're having. Symposium does not = orchestra. It's a talk basically by this guy called Kimmie Weeks who is only 28 but basically escaped Liberia during the civil war and ended up in the states where he started his own non-profit dealing with reintegrating child soldiers into the community, setting up schools/education, empowering women through allowing them to do their own start up businesses etc.

We're bringing him to Michigan to do this talk and it's going to be kinda a motivational one? So I need a poster that reflects the overall theme of "reconnecting humanity" i.e. in the sense that we're all so jaded by life and trying to chase the big jobs and $ that we forget what it is like to enjoy life as it is.

Whew, so that's the basic spiel behind it.

ok not really enjoy life but more of the fact that we forget that we are the privileged few in a position to make a difference.

hmm. my first thought is a screenshot of a movie like _blood diamond_.

my second thought is LEONARDO DICAPRIO.
