WHAT DO I MAKE

What do I make

On the one hand I have the desire to get to know more about how people live there lives and do their jobs. I want to indulge myself in their story’s and I am looking to what we can learn from them. To place the focus on the story and it’s emotions I find myself filming either way close-ups/macro or taking some distance from the subject and choose a larger frame: the wide shot in which it all reveals.

On the other hand I feel this urge to film what is already there but if you look closer something else, more beautiful reveals. I make big (because I would like them to be projected big) abstract video’s, mostly filmed (but not always) from one point of view. I have a series of 4/5 works now - Carwash - Buttermilk - Bubbles - Shadowflicker or shadow work. - Bubbles 2

What do these images grap me? They give me focus. They give me the power to make something extraordinaire form something ordinary. When I find an image like that it just fills my heart with positive tension, like being in love.

Some notes: What is my intention? Does it work better without sounds? Is it a moment where people can reflect and get space? (this is when it is in a bigger documentary) Is it about looking? How to set it into context? What kind of filmmaker am I Narrative charge What is the purpose of fascination? I have to direct the intension.
