Charles Bukowski on Life.
With the help of a friend (@maciej.skiba) in Amsterdam, we attempted to create this short video trying to express the meaning of life from our perspective, based on a German-American poet and novelist.
At the beginning, I was not expecting to create a video which touches the audience in an emotional and captivating way, however, after coming across the perfect soundtrack and interview, I realized that this was the video 2021 needed. Since The Netherlands will strengthen its corona regulations, it is a good time to remember that we can all get through this together.
In this project, I decided to focus on sound design as it truly was a beautiful experience to roam through the empty streets of Amsterdam. Hearing all the different noises, from church bells to train tracks, which stimulated me to compose an immersive sound track.
Filmed with Fujifilm X-T30 and XR Rikenon 50mm f/2.0.
Promotional Video for Holy Moly Breda
Holy Moly is a venue which serves many purposes. It has entertainment for all types of people ranging from private purposes to comedy nights to a great location for nightlife. Its decorative interior makes it one of the most unique values in Breda for events.
On this evening, I decided to spontaneously film a short promotional video for Holy Moly. The atmosphere was full of enthusiasm with people of all ages dancing to house/techno music.
For this project, I decided to focus on various angles of the location and get unique shots of individuals, the crowd, and the DJs. During the editing process, I integrated transitions to make the flow look seamless and also fit with the vibe. The soundtrack featured in this video is Goodies by Dillon Francis.
Filmed with iPhone 13 Pro.
Halloween Party After Movie for ESN Breda
ESN Breda is a student organisation that supports international students with different types of activities to help with the integration of the students and the city. During this event, the organisation hosted a large party with almost 400 participants to celebrate Halloween hosted at CUE Breda.
For this project, I initially planned to make the inflatable dinosaur the character of the video. Therefore, having it in the introduction, middle, and ending. However, the dinosaur was only present during the beginning of the event. Therefore, I decided to take another approach at the video and make the subject of the video, the audience and the DJs.
With the help of the photographer, I managed to create scenes throughout the video where I display short intervals of different photos. This made the video more interesting as the viewers were able to also see the costumes of the audiences. It also emphasised the theme of the party. The soundtrack featured in this video is Paint The Town Red x S&M (DJ L Beats Full TikTok Remix) by purple drip boy.
Filmed with Fujifilm XT-30 and Sigma 16mm f/1.4.
