“Silent Era” Back to the Future
Artist's Name: Ben Rimes
Category/ies: Video
Many times, I see the awesomeness in other people’s work and think to myself, “There’s no possible way I can do that!,” and shy away from the assignment. But for some reason, Ben’s jaw-dropping “Silent Era” assignment and the genuine and unselfish way he shared his process inspired me. It gave me that needed push to improve upon what I had already done. Not only was I inspired to do my own assignment better, but I am also inspired to try and inspire others in the same manner in the future.
p.s. – Notice that he has changed a portion at the top of the border on the title cards to go along with the “future” theme. Brilliant!! I truly believe that it’s small details like that which sets apart great work from good work.
p.p.s. – He (and ds106) became an instant hit on the www!!! http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2127122/Blast-pas

I love this assignment, and that work that’s come out of it is super impressive. Back to the Future is one of my favorite movies and you picked a really great scene to do this with. Awesome job on getting featured in the UK!
This went viral! It’s in a tabloid!
