Story Flourishing Contest

theheron · 12-25-2011, 11:26 PM

So I had an idea for a contest just for fun, kinda like Leroy's Classic Pass contest, where there aren't any actual prizes but you can enter multiple times. On to the contest: Flourishing is an art, and art is an expression of yourself, so what are you trying to say?

For this contest, I want you to make a flourishing video stringing together flourishes whose names tell what you want to express ex. String together "Sybil" to represent an oracle, "Pandora" to represent an oracle predicting Pandora's box would be opened, and "Circle" to represent the contents of Pandora's box engulfing the world.

Anywho, this is probably pretty hard to do with mainstream flourishes so feel free to invent new ones to help you along.

Rules:
1.Video can be as long as you want
2.The name of the flourishes must show while they are being performed
3. Their must be a definite and comprehensive expression or story behind the flourishes.
4. If you feel like the main idea behind your flourishes may not be immediately recognizable, please provide a brief explanation of what you are trying to say

And I think that's it, good luck, and have fun with this, there isn't any physical prize for this but please don't let that reduce the quality of your work, you should be proud of what you create yourself!

i get a feeling this won't get much response, since first of all, this isn't a flourisher's community, and second, mastering a flourish is already hard, getting a story into it that is comprehensive is even harder

well feel free to share this contest on other forums then, and I've seen a few of you guys flourish. Also, It's supposed to be hard! You wouldn't feel like you've accomplished anything if it wasn't.
