[Commlist] Screen Stars Dictionary - Call for Videos

The Screen Stars Dictionary begins as a joint project between /Tecmerin. 
Journal of Audiovisual Essays/ and Ariel Avissar. Inspired conceptually 
by Ariel’s own project, the TV Dictionary 
<https://cstonline.net/the-tv-dictionary-an-introduction-by-ariel-avissar/#:~:text=The%20%E2%80%9CTV%20Dictionary%E2%80%9D%20is%20a,several%20clips%20from%20the%20series.>, 
we aim to establish the defining characteristics of specific stars with 
a single, polysemic word that crystallizes his/her/their oeuvre.

You can check out the first ten entries of the dictionary here:

<https://tecmerin.uc3m.es/project/screen-stars-dictionary/?lang=en>

We would like to invite others to join this project and contribute to 
the Screen Stars Dictionary. If you are interested in submitting a 
proposal, send an email with your idea to both Ariel Avissar 
((arielavissar24 /at/ gmail.com) <mailto:(arielavissar24 /at/ gmail.com)>)and Vicente 
Rodríguez Ortega ((vrortega /at/ hum.uc3m.es) <mailto:(vrortega /at/ hum.uc3m.es)>), 
the collection’s editors.

This will be the process:

1.Send us your proposal; your video should attempt to capture the 
defining characteristics of a film or TV star, from any nationality, 
using a single word, combining diverse definitions of this word with a 
single or multiple clips of the featured star. Videos should ideally be 
no longer than four minutes, and can be in any language, with English 
and/or Spanish subtitles

2.Ariel and Vicente will give you feedback

3.Send revision(s) and receive feedback until accepted, via google drive 
or wetransfer (file size should be under 500MB).

4.Once accepted, we will send you a short video intro to add at the 
beginning of your piece; additionally, the video credits should include 
all media sources used in the video, and the source(s) of the dictionary 
definitions used.

5.Once you add the intro and credits, submit the final video. It will be 
uploaded to /Tecmerin/’s Vimeo account and published in the Screen Stars 
Dictionary Vimeo collection (see here: 
https://vimeo.com/showcase/10404168 <https://vimeo.com/showcase/10404168>).

6.Ariel and Vicente will curate a selection out of the videos added to 
the collection. This curated selection will be published in future 
issues of /Tecmerin. /
