KEITH ROSE IS PRESIDENT OF THE CRAFT JURY AT CANNES LIONS.
Velocity is proud to announce that Keith Rose is the President of the Craft Jury at Cannes Lions this year. “Was it done in camera? Was it done in post? Who knows?
Craft and techniques have developed to such an extent that it is impossible to decode unless there’s a “making of” to view. One thing I am certain of… if the technique used doesn’t compliment or enhance the concept, it amounts to nothing. Technique for techniques sake is futile. A weak story glossed over by a fancy execution is still a weak story.” says Keith of his new role of President.
