The Pipeline Project gives students the opportunity to experience the full production of a motion piece in a relatively short time period. This year’s goal was to create a promotion piece that could represent the Columbus College of Art and Design through a student’s perspective. In this piece we tried to give the viewer an insight into an artist’s process; a process that has been nourished by CCAD's entire creative community – its students, faculty, staff, facilities and resources. Subsequent pieces in an overall campaign on this student perspective theme would cover topics such as an artist’s Inspiration, Lifestyle, and Experiences.
