Toto's proposal for a project that may or may not be made

From XPUB & Lens-Based wiki


Simple idea: What: 24 film portraits in Rotterdam made in 24 hours by 24 film crews, people selected from 24 neighborhoods in Rotterdam randomly selected by an algorythm. Why: I think it is fascinating to follow a normal day in Rotterdam on things that are happening in the same time with a multitude of people. I think it is interesting to frame a Zeitgeist, a time piece with the link of a certain time and place. How: I need 24 film crews consisting of a dir, sound recordist and cameraman/woman, that have 24 hours to prepare the 24 portraits made together with a sound recordist and a cameraman/woman. every portrait will get 5k euros for pre and post-production in total a 120.000 euro budget. The final result will be a installation with a combined film of all the portraits of 24 hours edited to a long 24 our version and a short 1 hour version. Feedback Bojan: its expensive atleast.

Feedback retake’s Toto Option B What: A film of real life stories made within 24 hours in Rotterdam made out of social media content. the final film should be 24 hours long. Why: I think it is an interesting experiment to see what you will find when you gather all the archive footage, stories, created in one day in one place. How: Gather as much as possible social media footage, stories, from Rotterdam or another place and store them chronologically.

Social media compilation out of one day, Stories. in Rotterdam. Option C What: Have a portrait on 24 hours but consisting of multiple dates but put a certain time more central. 6:00 baker, who makes bread. comment: 7:00 follow taxi driver
