CREATIVE ANIMATION, Call for Proposals
Art & Science Node (ASN) is glad to announce a call for proposals for a creative animation in the form of a short video clip, to be used as a communication tool for an ongoing (EU-funded) Chicory research project.
PROJECT FOCUS: Chicory researches
CHICORY is a research project that seeks to establish responsible innovation pathways for developing and using New Plant Breeding Techniques (NPBTs) for chicory as a multipurpose crop for the production of inulin and terpenes. It aims to develop chicory varieties that can be used to produce dietary fiber with enhanced probiotic effects to promote gut health. At the same time, given its biosynthetic capacity, high yields and low agronomic requirements, chicory has significant potential as a versatile production host in molecular farming for the production of many additional health-related products with benefits for consumers. CHIC also aims to investigate the extraction of other health-related compounds, such as terpenes as potential lead molecules for drug development.
ROLE OF ASN
As a member of the CHIC consortium, we at ASN are responsible for communicating the scientific research of the consortium in an innovative way by bringing together artists and scientists in a productive dialogue. We intend to focus our efforts on engaging scientists, artists, and humanists to expand the discussion around the CHIC project beyond merely the chicory plant, and to engage a broader audience in a deep conversation about the progress in biotechnology and sustainable new ways of using plants to produce food and medicines.
More information about our philosophy and past projects can be found on our website at www.artscience-node.com
OBJECTIVES
This animation will be used by ASN and other members of the CHIC consortium for promotional, educational, and artistic purposes. It should be designed in a form appropriate for presenting on websites or social media, as well as an independent video clip to accompany artistic and educative events, such as exhibitions, workshops, lectures, debates, or presentations.
CONTENT
The animation should last 3 minutes and be divided into 3 equal parts, each focused on the following topics:
- The first section will introduce the identity of the CHIC consortium, an international research project funded by the EU Horizon 2020 Research & Innovation program, that brings together a team of 17 industrial, academic, and public participants, located across Europe and in New Zealand. This section will also introduce the individual identities of the participating groups. (1 min.)
- The second section should focus on detailing the research of the CHIC project. The selected team may need to interface through ASN to find out more about their research. We can also provide more details about the research at an appropriate point in the process. (1 min.)
-
The third and final section should focus on discussing the broader impacts of the CHIC research program for the European Union, including the integration of art and science. This section should be able to stand on its own as an introduction and the promotional material for upcoming events that ASN will organize, such as exhibitions or workshops, to communicate ongoing results from the CHIC project. Thus this final section may be updated periodically, for an additional fee. (1 min.)
ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS
We would like the background music to be subtle and minimal yet engaging, preferably electronic music, with all rights included (either an original composition of the creators, rights secured by the creators, or open source material).
INITIAL PROPOSALS
Each participant can present one to three ideas for the creative concept of the animation. The presented concepts should indicate some sense of the proposed visual aesthetic. This could take the form of either a set of storyboards, or a short trailer / video clip. Along with the initial concept submission, we also ask for a portfolio of previous relevant work.
FINANCIAL CONDITIONS
The selected contractor will receive first a fee with payment details to be worked out once we enter into an agreement for the commission. In the case of modification of the animation, in order to adapt it to the subsequent events organized by the ASN (see: ‘Content’), the contractor will receive a fee for each change.
30/12/2019: deadline for sending the proposals with to ” management@artscience-node.com ”
01/12 – 31/12/2019: evaluation of the proposals (including possible meetings with participants)
15/01/2020: final selection of the contractor
Initial proposals, consisting of either storyboards or a short trailer / clip, along with references and a link to your portfolio, should be submitted to the following address: ” management@artscience-node.com “.
