10. Galleries Andy Bailey • “All the work I have commissioned have have been allowed free artistic range” • “They don’t give me many guidelines, so I’m able to produce what I what and get money for it” Daniel Perry • “It helps artists get known, while still doing what they love” • “We have to get money to survive, but we are still able to create works that express our feelings” H20’s reasoning for converting from streets to canvas • “Patty Astor opened a gallery in New York that allowed artists to display their work and messages while getting paid” • “At first most writers were against it, but once the law cracked down on graffiti and people started to get hard time for writing, galleries became more appealing” • “It was better to go to canvas and do what you love then sell drugs just to get by” • Knoe Ear • “I sell my art, everyone needs money, but I keep the pieces I get attached to”

11. Internet (Social Media) H20: • “It spreads art work virally, creating other artists the steal work and make it their own” • “There becomes a loss of personal connection from artists to artists” • “Graffiti is watered down because it is not as social as it used to be. Artists no longer share ideas at writer’s blocks” Daniel Perry: • “People steal other people’s styles. Their art is no longer their creation or expression, rather the expression of others”

12. Keep Orlando Beautiful: (Jody Buyas) Define what K.O.B. does and their goal A-Roll: Shots of the interview B-Roll: Shots of Orlando, Shots of people cleaning up the graffiti and the process that goes into it “There has never really been too much graffiti in Orlando, it has its spurts” “There are more tags than murals, but the tags usually aren’t associated with gangs”

Public Response: • Moving Graph of the emotional responses the audience gets from graffiti • Nais, Andy, and David stating the common notions about graffiti • Interviews of people of the street expressing their feelings toward graffiti • Clips of “people on the street” testimonies • “It makes me feel terrible because it is hideous. It makes buildings look really ghetto.” • “Makes me angry because it is destruction of someone else's property” • “I don'tlikeit.... messy looking” • Graph explaining the change of emotions when the art goes from the streets to canvas. • Talk quickly about the art bars that feature and sell these pieces and have quick flashes of people stating why they do/don’t go to those bars

14. Climax: Artists state their concerns about Orlando failing to unite together H2O: • “We have so much potential to become a city known for graffiti” • “We have some of the best writers in the nation. We see more talent here than in New York, but we are not united” • “We have to create more events and programs” Knoe Ear: • “Orlando has some great writers, but they need to pick up their game and come together”
