jotta + mydeco + Alessi : mysqueeze video call out
About the competition:
‘mysqueeze’ is an exciting design collaboration between mydeco and Alessi – the dons of Italian product design.
In 2009 Roland Kreiter won mydeco.com’s ‘Pure Creativity’ competition. Picked by judge Philippe Starck, Kreter’s design for a juicer is manufactured using 3D rapid prototyping by renowned manufacturer Alessi. Not only did Starck give Kreiter a prestigious internship working at the designer's Paris studio, he also picked up the phone to Alberto Alessi and told him he'd found his next iconic juicer. The 'mysqueeze' forms part of Alessi's 2010 Object Bijou collection.
"This seemed to me like a worthy tribute to "Juicy Salif" (1990), the most controversial Citrus-squeezer of the twentieth century." Alberto Alessi
With the launch of mysqueeze at the end of October 2010, mydeco are planning to release a series of videos showing mysqueeze being used in creative ways.
“The object itself is not immediately self-explanatory and we want to see some creative uses for it. What is it? How would you use it? Is it an object or is it kitchen equipment, who knows? mysqueeze is a blank canvas.” Daniel Nelson from mydeco.com
Requirements and prize:
We want your ideas for a short film (anything from 5 seconds to 1 minute) that teases as to what the mysqueeze is.
At this stage we’re simply looking for your idea and you can communicate this to us however you feel most comfortable. Whether it’s a storyboard, a few scamps, a written explanation or even a test shot, we’ll accept your idea in any format.
Once we have your idea, mydeco will choose 5 filmmakers to create 1 film each that will go on to be used in the international publicity campaign to promote ‘mysqueeze’.
Each film-maker will be provided with a small production budget and £100 prize for their work, as well as being fully credited.
How to enter:
Email your idea to Daniel Nelson - dnelson@mydeco.com
