3 Continent Collaboration (3CC)

3cC is a way that me and two of my childhood friends can collaborate on a creative project from across the Globe.  We started this project back in 2019 when we hadn't seen each other for quite some time as we'd all moved to different Countries.  Currently, I live in England, Wayne lives in Australia and Ritchie lives in Mozambique.

The project is always started by one of us cutting name cards to music and creating a list of challenges for us to do for some of those sections where our names appear.  This is then sent to the other two collaborators without the music so we have no idea how the project is going to come together!

Usually around a month and a bit later, we send our timelines back to the original creator who assembles all our clips together and we can watch the full video come to life!

We love doing this because we can see the differences and similarities of our day to day lives from so far away, push each other to be creative and just have an excuse to make videos together!

3 Continent Collaboration “This project is created by three childhood friends who currently live on different continents but are all still driven by creativity. This project allows us to collaborate even though we're thousands of miles away from each other. Each person takes a turn at cutting together name cards against a music track. This edit is then sent out to the other two collaborators without the music track to then fill in their allocated name cards with footage. At the end of the month each collaborator sends their completed timeline into the lead who assembles the final film.” For this round of the project I was the lead. For inspiration I turned to “One Strange Rock” which was full of life, animals and underlying meanings. I took out of the programme the life cycle in nature. I liked that it showed how Earth came about and grew into the planet we know now thanks to things like fire and water. So, for me to create something a bit different, I pulled together some songs from Artlist and broke my video into 4 sections: Earth: Earth represents life as we know it or life as it was. Fire: The destructive force that creates change. Water: The ingredient for all life on Earth. Without water there is no life so this substance that we take forgranted is actually a very powerful ingredient for growth in nature. Life: Here I wanted to show that after all this destruction and growth, we come to a new equilibrium of life. With three different continents of different animals, landscapes and cultures we were able to show something more than just an English perspective on life. We were able to show a more Worldly view of the Earth. This was a tough round because we were quite restricted with the subject we could film. For instance, I think we all struggled with fire but we all approached it in different ways and created something that showed our different styles. Now, the next round will be Wayne and I am very much looking forward to seeing where he takes this project.
