Anna Rhodes... in a spot of bother

I've just got my quote back from the maufacturers, and it's going to be insanely expensive.
You can see the emails at http://annarhodes.blogspot.com

It's clear I need serious fnancial help - funding or sponsorship. Does anyone have any ideas?

Mary Bogatcheva FMP

By winding up/‘punking’ various types of people, whether it is on the phone, in person, by mail/email, etc people’s reactions and their judgement may show the fundamental attitude of our modern day society. I plan to create possible scenarios where I can enquire information, direction, help & advice from people whilst testing their patience with a number of wind-ups.

These will include: seeing if I get judged trying to do everyday things dressed as a funny/evil character/person, or having a small ability to speak English, a difficulty to understand the person… (And many, many more I need to think of in order to record interesting footage on camera, video, and voice recorder.

14 weeks is a long time, and I think I will enjoy the challenge of going out and recording some funny/interesting/bizarre/cringing footage. The research I will collect I will use as a fundamental part of the final outcome(s) for my FMP, which may include illustration/type/photography/image-manipulation work that I want to work with & enjoy.
