- We think women are better when we put our minds together. That's why we think it's best to join a group on shout, so you can collaborate with other women like you. We've matched you with some people whose disciplines complement yours, who have similar experience to yours, live close to you and may even like some of the same things you do (unless you like German heavy metal, in which case we can't make any promises). So go ahead and get to know each other. It's a little like dating, but mostly only the fun parts.

Project brief
Develop visual treatments for shout’s showcase video for our clients.
Background info
Heads up: We extended the submission deadline by two weeks - you now have until March 20th, 6PM EST to submit ideas.
Since we got out of beta in August 2011 we learned a lot about shout: what people think of us, what clients like about us, new things we should add to the site, you name it.
Because shout is a totally new way of working, we find ourselves having to educate potential clients about what we do all the time. We currently explain what we do in detail on our client page but it’s too long and we'd like to make the whole thing snappier.
Task definition
Main Objective
Suggest a visual treatment, provide key frames that tell the story and assets for shout’s showcase video. The winner will end up here.
Anything goes, you can suggest animation, real footage or a mix of both as long as you incorporate our script and the mandatories below.
Key Insight
We need to explain this new way of working to clients in a fun and engaging way.
Expert-in-Residence
We’re also roping in an expert, Lauryn Siegel (aka flockofsiegels), to help us provide feedback along the way and make our final decision. She’ll be the one producing the video. She also happens to be a member of our shout collective. It is important for us to leverage our own members as it is you who know shout the best.
Target group
Current and prospective clients.
Then the press and finally some women that may want to join the platform.

That's it, looking forward to seeing your ideas evolve!
