Nice Spots -the Internet-hosted collaboration, archival, approval, distribution, asset-management and presentation tool that offers a secure online environment to work with any type of media from any platform - just completed an exciting collaborative project with renowned artist Dryden Goodwin. Art on the Underground, done on commission from the London Underground, centers around 60 portraits that Goodwin sketched of workers on the subway system's Jubilee line and includes print, video and online components. The video portion features Goodwin sketching each portrait in time-lapsed super-speed beneath voiceover excerpts of the artist conversing with his subjects as he drew them. Nice Spots played an integral role in the project, supporting Goodwin's use of video by building a website to showcase the expansive collection of 60 videos (one for each portrait).
