| ==NOTES Brainstorm==
| |
|
| |
|
| * Klassieke muziek achtergrond ---> Verdi wordt gezongen door Chinese contestant
| |
| * 4:3 format
| |
| * Level 1: Media Event ("racist" comment from Dutch jury member to Chinese contestant) ---> Level 2: Video vader koken ---> Level 3: Video me koken met silicone ---> Level 4: Fotoserie, Mukbang, Sculpturen etc.
| |
| * Shots: overview and detail (washing, cooking)
| |
| * Let op dat video niet te dramatisch wordt (wordt video dramatisch? Het laat 'slechts' zien hoe gekookt wordt etc). ---> WAT WORDT DE TOON VAN DE VIDEO?
| |
| * Opstelling werk (link)
| |
| * Video opgebouwd uit 'Chapters'. Tot nu toe 3 Chapters: 1) Vader koken, 2) Ik 'koken', 3) Maken wortelroos close up (zwarte achtergrond, details)
| |
| * Het filmen van het proces en de communicatie tussen mij en mijn vader ---> Dit als de film gebruiken vs. geluid gebruiken als voice-over voor de echte film. Het vastleggen van de communicatie tussen mij en mijn vader kan een rijke toevoeging zijn voor persoonlijke archief. Communicatie kan aparte situatie opleveren.
| |
| * Eat, Drink, Man, Woman
| |
| * Hoe komt geluid terug in de video(s)?
| |
| * In welke mate is er nog connectie met oorspronkelijke event HGT?
| |
| * Welke identiteit laat je zien: Die van een subgroep in een maatschappij, representeer ik die of is het een politiek statement? Of juist een persoonlijk statement? En gaan die samen?
| |
| * Racist (issue) vs. Genes (overdracht)
| |
| * Adopting the issue; from negative (afzetten, tegenin, statement maken) to positive (posters, mokken, het vereeuwigen/aanbidden/omarmen).
| |
| * Vader Chinees, ik Nederlands
| |
| * Overerving: uiterlijk/talenten/ziektes vs. cultuur (bv. taal). Het ontbreken van cultuur (door 'adoptie') krijg ik nu door het zien koken van mijn vader en het doorgeven van zijn gerecht aan mij.
| |
| * GENEREREN VAN EIGEN TAAL - Hoe?
| |
| * Werken de sculpturen met de video? Gaat dat samen? Is het een logische uitkomst? De sculpturen communiceren misschien iets heel anders dan de video.
| |
| # Video: Persoonlijk verband, relatie vader en zoon
| |
| # Sculpturen: reproducties van..., cultuur, artificieel, E-numbers/bad&cheap food/bad looking food/unhealthy ---> MAAR food- sculpturen zijn van wezenlijk belang in Azië. Restaurants tonen hun menu via sculpturen (ipv geschreven menu). De betekenis van deze food sculpturen verschilt dus sterk per continent (Westen vs Azië). Vooroordelen/stereotypering.
| |
| *Passing on knowledge ---> Food is metaphor.
| |
| *Dat de uitkomst van de film nu nog niet vast staat en ook de gevolgen en werken die het daarna gaat opleveren, is een plus! Buit het uit.
| |
| * Tijdens pres. wees heel duidelijk over de film met mijn vader.

| == CONCEPT: Chapters to form a story ==
| |
|
| |
| The work I want to make consists of a series of different video works called 'Chapters #'. Each chapter is connected to the previous and next chapter, however the chapters are not necessary lineair. The basis is a work around my dad. He used to be a chef and together with my mother he owned a Chinese restaurant called Choi Sing in The Hague. For this work I asked him to cook again in a Chinese restaurant. The dish he is going to cook is called 'Nr. 39 with Rice'. From this video on I create more video works connecting and reflecting to the first one, Chapter 1.
| |
|
| |
| Next to the video works I want to create a line of physical sculptures that look like food. The first sculpture is a direct result from the dish my father is cooking. The others come from Chinese restaurants that serve a Nr. 39-dish.
| |

| == STORYBOARD ==
| |
|
| |
| === Chapter 1: Cooking Nr. 39 by my father ===
| |
| My father return to his former profession that of a chef. He cooks a dish from begin to end, from washing and cutting to cooking and serving the dish. The dish he is going to cook is a Nr. 39-dish. The film is a fine interlude between overview shots (wider angle) and detailshots. The detailshots consists of close-up of the action (e.g. cutting or washing) and close-ups of my father (e.g. face). Several detailshots of the kitchen and its equipment are introduced to give the kitchen an identity. The end scene is where my father decorates the plate and placed it on the table. Just hands placing the dish on the table is visible, no face. Benjamin then takes the dish from the other side of the table out of the shot (helicopter position). Classical music is placed underneath the video and supports the video.
| |
|
| |
| We will use 2 DSLR-Nikon camera's; one for the detailshots, the other for the overview shots. They are stationary placed. Kitchen sounds will also be recorded.

| === Chapter 2: Reproduction of dish Nr. 39 ===
| |
| Benjamin is going to replicate the dish from his father using silicone material. He places the dish he received from his father on the table in front of him (overview shot). He carefully takes apart every piece of the dish and placed this in front of him on the table. He covers slowly every piece of the dish in silicone. When the silicone is harden out, he carefully take out the food from its mold and prepares the mold for the copy-making process which includes cleaning and greasing the molds before again silicone goes on. When the positives are ready he takes them out. Now the painting starts. The idea is to give every piece the color of its real equivalent. The video ends when Benjamin finished the reproduction and places it on the table in front of him (helicopter view).
| |
|
| |
| This video is again an interlude between detailshots (cleaning, painting e.g.) and overview shot (e.g. receiving of the dish). Because the harding out of silicone takes 24 hours, the shootings is spread over multiple days. Short black cuts are needed in the edit. Sound of the process are recorded and placed underneath the video.

| === Chapter 3: Cutting a Carrot and folding it in a Rose ===
| |
| The video shows the hands of my father cutting a carrot into thin sheets, then folding them into a carrot rose. The face of my father won't be or get visible, the video is just a close up of the hand movements when folding the carrots into the rose. The rose is at the end of the video presented on a plate or hand. The video is taken in a black space. The light is very important in this video and must be warm and coming from the left side, leaving a strong shadow side on the right side of my father's hand.
