 Video - Drowning in opportunities

 

The video entitled "Drowning in Opportunities" by Rob Adank and Blewscreen was first shown at the Greyhound pub in Kensington Square in London on 13 November 2008.

 

Background: sources of inspiration, consideration and design…

 

Bert Sigmond and Rob Adank, representing Dutch networking organisation Flevum in this UK meets NL project, were inspired by the joint initiatives of Ozone Conferencing, Maxwell Winward and English Services to get various parties involved in regular discussions on topical themes. 

 

In these days of crisis it is vitally important for talented universities, student associations, politicians and entrepreneurs to work together in an effort to inspire mutual confidence and trust.

 

The clip was developed to draw attention to a topical theme and to pay tribute to Asset Conference (Tilburg University) and the European Centre for Corporate Engagement.

 

The clip 

We were impressed by Blewscreen’s work during the Dutch Design Week, where a solid network of creative Dutch designers revealed lots of added value and ‘visual imagination’ and therefore decided to ask them to help us with our clip…

 

We wanted to get the clip ‘Drowning in Opportunities’ out as quickly as possible, so at the moment we only really have a rough cut version. If anyone – in particular Sir James Paul McCartney - feels inspired to record a new UK meets NL co-created version of ‘Drowning in Opportunities’ , please let us know.

 

The Lyrics

Rob Adank, a great Beatles fan, decided to adapt the lyrics of that great classic Let it be.
