 The
Circle is the first project in the world
for the creation of a single video artwork
made by thousands of people from all over
the world.
The idea is very simple. Send us one frame
of the video. It can represent anything
you want as long as the main focus of the
image is on a central object which is circular.
It can be anything you like. Maybe the sun,
a ball, a lake viewed from the air, planet
earth, a satellite dish, a human cell etc...
Use your imagination... look around.. in
your office, in your room, with your friends.
All the people that send a photograph will
find their name in the end titles and will
have access to a section on this site where
they can download the full movie.
We will stop accepting images on September
30th, 2006
For any info on this project please contact
our press office: stampa@blueray.it

Who will make the video ? |
Director Mauro di Flaviano (see picture
on the left) will edit all the images we
receive to create the 1st global video artwork.
Each picture will be used once (and only
once) and combined with the others to create
"The Circle".
With your help we expect Mauro to create
a wonderful video art movie. The soundtrack
will be specially written for it by maestro
Sandro Di Stefano.
Mauro Di Flaviano has been making videos
for experience nearly 20 years. He has directed
many movies, both for corporate usage and
for entertainment. One of his main projects
is "Stanley and us", a huge documentary
on Stanley Kubrick in which he interviewed
almost everybody that Kubrick had to deal
with in his life. |
 We
are looking for "circle" pictures
from all over the world. These pictures
must have the following characteristics:
- Picture in JPEG format
- Minimum pixel size 768x576
(PAL standard square pixel)
- Quality around 200 Kbytes
Images should fit into a 4:3 ratio (this
means that the a third of the vertical size
is almost equal to a fourth of the horizontal
size). The circular image (the "object"
of the picture) should be in the center
and should occupy the greater part of the
picture (please watch picture on the right).
Due to field problems and different international
standards, we would like pictures to come
from photo-cameras and not video-cameras.
If, and only if, you are sending frames
extracted from a video, and you know what
you're doing, please merge fields before
sending the picture. |
