What is ShakeShock.com?

As one teacher once said, "Anyone can teach math and science, and teach us how to think, but it's the great poets that teach us how to feel." These great stories that have survived after centuries, can teach us so much about the human heart. However, teaching them in a stuffy classroom not only distances us from those great stories, but also distances us from a part of ourselves.

Following this theme, Tucci Enterprises is proud to announce the greatest revolution in education seen this millennium.

Since the beginning of time, man has felt the need to express himself through the written word. Plato knew this, Shakespeare knew this, Mark Twain knew this, and even today, great artists continue in that vain. But sadly, the evolution of the MTV and post-modern culture has devalued Ivan Ilyich, Greek tragedies, Confucian poetry, and other great writers. So, with great enthusiasm, we are proud to announce the creation of ShakeShock.com

Derived from the words Shakespeare and Shocking, the name is intentionally designed to convey both the energy and the intelligence that we hope to impart.

What sets ShakeShock apart is bringing creative solutions to practical dilemmas, and also a unique young perspective on the subject matter that we're tackling.

Our team of experts is not only talented at what they do, but have the credits to prove it.

We plan on producing short videos that explore great works of literature, readily accessible over the internet, and with a modern, MTV stylistic flair, and a wry, John Stewart, sense of humor.

We will impart this knowledge and emphasis on intelligence and education by relating to students, and creating an entirely new format of storytelling. Our approach is unlike any other currently existing in film for these E-Docs, or Dockees. It will be a vibrant mesh of MTV style, and Tarantino flair.

ShakeShock.com has a slogan, "Using the artists of tomorrow to honor the artists of yesterday." We say this because we believe art does not exist in a vacuum. It is affected by its surroundings and its peers.

Over time, the loss of iambic pentameter, and the innovation of conventions like hip-hop and MTV have changed how we look at all other art. Even though the context has changed, the raw and powerful emotions that inspired these literary works are still present. So, we encourage young artists to take poems of great literature, and adapt them into short videos, using visual metaphors to express the ancient meaning.

The poems available to you are wide open as long as they are classic poems (Shakespearean sonnets, Greek Tragedies, Haiku, or short stanzas as little as one-hundred years old), and so are the methods you can use to make your short films (artful montage, to huge cartoon explosions, to sock puppets).

So have your projects entered in our contest, get your work shown, and be eligible for prizes.
