Tarantino is my muse. Oh Quentin.

-USER GENERATED CONTENT-

UGC (User generated content) is that has been created and put out there by (unpaid) fans. This can refer to pictures, photos, videos, testimonials, tweets, blog posts,etc… It is the act of users promoting a brand rather than the brand doing it itself. Take the Coca-cola ‘Share a bottle’/personalised bottle as a very popular example.

For this particular task of creating user generated content, I chose to work with my fandom for Tarantino, my favourite director. I intend to create portraits or face swaps of Tarantino himself with the main characters of his movies, as I have always wondered (and maybe it was a fantasy) what it would be like to have Tarantino as one of his main characters in his main movies. He is such a brilliant director, and already has small roles in his movies, what would it be like if he pushed it further? I guess this explains what I am doing and why I am doing it. My outcome will be one or various images. They will probably take me around an hour to make. I will discuss the process later on in this post.

Here is the user generated content I created:
