I haven't given many news as I was busy having a personal life in various countries...
However, I'm back on the scene! I have quite a few news to give, so will do so little by little...
I am about to shoot (by mid-may) a music video for Chriam, a member of my brother's band Tag, who makes electronic music in solo, and has asked me to do a video for one of his tunes; I chose "Love", in which I like the reggae rhythm, the warm colour, the melancholy of the voices and the personal resonnances.
I am working on this with Shakti, a spanish dancer I met last year at Manchester's Moves festival where my dance film Composition in Black & White got screened. Ever since Shakti and I wanted to work together, so I thought this commission was the right occasion!
The video is of a simple concept, for the shoot anyway; I am indeed also using it for my own post-production experimentation.
We will film Shakti dressed in white, dancing in front of a black background; all light concentrated on her. Then, in post-production, I will work on the picture: change the colour and texture of the dancer (for instance by superposing (?) another image on her), make mirroring or kaleidoscopic effects, etc.
So there will be no story: only movement, colour, rather abstract images. I think it suits electronic music well, matching Chriam's sound motives with my visual ones. And as Shakti dances mainly in improvisation, it leaves me great freedom to play around with her movements in the editing.
I'll let you know how it goes...
