Our last four films premiered at Sundance and have won 35 awards.Our previous short film "A Declaration of Interdependence," included music by Moby, was featured on the youtube homepage and was released at "Interdependence Day" on September 12th of 2011. You can check it out on www.letitripple.org. We would love to be able to feature your work in this new film "Brain Power."We are looking for artistic interpretations of the brain (think anything from your version of a brain scan or neurons connecting, to an artistic metaphor like the brain as a garden, or the solar system, or the neurons of the brain connecting like computers on the Internet, or whatever you imagine. Participants must submit their entries in the form of graphics, illustrations, or photographs (directly to talenthouse). We will then use the winning entries in the 4-minute film, combined with other animations, archival imagery, and other crowdsourced video footage.This film "Brain Power" is part of the "Let It Ripple: Mobile Films for Global Change" film series by The Moxie Institute. The first film in the series was "A Declaration of Interdependence," which featured music by Moby, graphic art from our great partnership with Talenthouse, as well as videos submitted from all over the world. The film has now been translated into 65 languages and is being used by non-profits for free all around the world.

I recently have gotten into digital photography. I love to take pictures in HDR. I just love how it looks. I do panoramic photos. I do also some fine art work as well and if I do its usually drawing in charcoal. Some graphic stuff as well.
Location United States, Wisconsin, Madison
Bio Hi my name is Scott Thelen. I am a recent graduate from the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. Graduated with a Bachelor of Art in Art and a minor in Psychology. So hopefully there is a job out there for me! Ha ha. As of right now just looking for a job (any job for that matter!), but in the mean time I go out and take my camera out with me to shoot photos. Anything else just shoot me a message and ask.
Influences My greatest influence is one of my colleagues from college. The advice that she gave me that I would like to share with other artists is to, "Be Fearless". I love Salvador Dali, his work has always inspired me to push my art further and my ideas further. Francis Bacon, there is a darkness that is filled with curiosity. LaChapelle, I love his playfulness in his work. H.R. Giger. I just love love love his unique take on turning environments into something alive, its just awesome. Some other artists that I love are Cezanne, de Kooning, and many many more.
