Art Through the Ages : Indy Mogul Promo


Check out this awesome Indy Mogul promo made by Indy Mogulers and DIY filmmakers Neko Neko Productions! Tell us what you think by leaving a comment below and what you think would make an awesome Indy Mogul slogan. See more Neko Neko at: www.nekonekofilms.com www.youtube.com Here is what Neko Neko had to say about making the promo: "The idea was this - we travel through eight major artistic movements before arriving at the latest - YouTube. The pervasive idea was that despite countless other influences, it is ultimately the artist that steers the direction of new artistic mediums. So thats what we did. We had to use outside actors (which we've never done), green screen (which we've never used), adobe after effects (which I had to learn), and our greatest creative problem solving to get the shots we imagined.
