Awesome party in the library in Delft.

For the theatre play “De Pornograaf”, directed by Helene Oostdijk, video was incorporated throughout the whole play.

This is the final piece, showing how the main character took an overdose. The characters stopped playing at around 2:00, so that’s when all the focus lay upon the video.

Even though it’s vacation time, I’m doing lots of video things, a couple of really nice things too. I’ll post some pictures and video’s.

Splendid!

They did all kind of activities in the whole city of Utrecht, but the real thing was going down in the Jaarbeurs. There was a big show for the kids to watch, including a play of the Junglebook and a performance by the famous Nick & Simon.
We were asked by Improve, who did the direction of the show and the lights, to help film the event, for live registration and to be projected on large screens in the hall.
MGV Helmond did the technical video support, they had the camera’s and the video-truck. Yeah, professional stuff was going on there.

As a concluding assignment for my ict-course at school, me and Jeroen made this web application. Filmspotter provides a free and open online database of special locations to film. Whether you’re a director of a small independent or a freelance photographer and you need a location for your shoot, this website might be able to help you find a spot.

The website is still in a pre-pre-release phase, there are loads of features which should be still implemented and the database must be filled. We have great plans for this website, and hopefully we will be able release the final website somewhere in September.

I think you’ll dig this website. At least I do.

Updated Xenia’s online portfolio website. This site is more simple and straightforward, as what Xenia describes as her own new style. Now it’s all about her photo’s, with no kludgy interface whatsoever.

Formerly ‘Rof’, from now on Utrecht has got a monthly party where the audience will get an overdose of hiphop. Welcome at the Overdosis! This party also marked the beginning of a new VJ career for me and Wolfram. We’ll try to get more VJ’ing done in Delft, Amsterdam, and who-knows-where. We’re excited to present our VJ skills, and we’re making new things weekly (monthly?). so if you know a kick ass party which needs some VJ’s, contact me! & we’ll see what finger-lickin’ visuals we can provide.

Cheers!

Following upon the filming at the Mooi Weer Spelen last year, the short video has now been edited (With the kind help of Invite-AV). A video which shows what diversity of acts perform at the Mooi Weer Spelen, and how nice the atmosphere is throughout the whole festival. So if you like street performances, and you are near Delft during the 4th, 5th and 6th of June, just go to the city centre and get amused.

Just a quick design update on Sam Serveert’s website. It’s a small website for a weekly party by DJ Sampagne.

By the way – I’ve been doing some VJ’ing again lately.
First gig was in Utrecht, at the Hip Hop party ROF van Jaeden.
Second one was in at Club DNA [pdf file], celebrating the new location of the DNA, some creative network something (a description which understates this organization).

They were definitely nice, and they gave me the ambition of doing some more VJ’ing! Still have to invest more time in setting it up again, but time will be on my side in 5 months. Hopefully.

Cheers,

4Delft is an art exposition featuring art work which was inspired on the city of Delft. The art was exposed on 4 locations throughout Delft; the Prinsenhof, DOK Kunst, 38CC and WAD. The video was meant for use on websites, and a dvd was given to all the participating exposition locations.

During a sunny weekend, O2 Nederland played the game. I was asked to film it, with the purpose of creating a promotional video of the game.

Some people saw me on public television yesterday! At “De Wereld Draait Door” (click to view the programme). With the Club van Delft crew we got a tour in the Mediaplantage, Amsterdam. It was great to see how they make television, pure professionals.

Heads up for Studioinbeeld for making the pictures.

Finally finished, the reportage for the 35 years anniversary of Filmhuis Lumen. Because they are making a small booklet for their anniversary, they want people to send in anecdotes, photo or film material about the art-house.

Shot on the Sony Z1U, one of the first video’s for the Club van Delft in HD. We chose to switch to HD because we have the ability to deliver everything in HD (Youtube/Vimeo). I filmed, directed and edited the reportage. Of course with help from the others at Club van Delft.

Also included is the animated credit roll.

This is a trailer for a special theatrical event. Made in conjunction with Theater Netwerk Delft.
Directed, filmed and post produced the video.

This is some video I shot during the act of Blikopener, where they played around with fire. So I was playing around with the variable framerates of the EX1, which resulted in the short timelapse and the slowmotion shots. It’s 60 frames per second, in HD 750p. Straight out of the camera, so no post production in any form (except the dreadful capturing of the footage).
The final movie, featuring more acts from the Mooi Weer Spelen ‘09, will be released within a month (or something like that).

See the result

For the upcoming Club van Delft reportage, I already shot some additional footage. The lads from Filmhuis Lumen (an art house cinema in Delft) showed me how the film projector works, and they let me make loads of footage. 

Because I got so much nice footage, and not everything will be used for the reportage, I thought it would be nice to make a small video. It shows quite well how everything works, and I guess that a lot of you always wanted to know how the film projector works. At least, I always wanted to know.

This week we will be filming the interviews, so the reportage will be online in a couple of weeks!

Cheers,

After quite some weeks we finally finished the reportage of Musicalgroup Rits.

Rits needed a theatre to practice and Ipse had a theatre which they offered. A beautiful match. Next to this, Rits was looking for some more volunteers who could help them with playing or behind the scene activities.
The initial purpose was to make a reportage about these two things.

Together with Inge and Pascha and a Sony Z1U we went to the Ipse building during their weekly rehearsal. We interviewed the head of Rits, the director of Rits’ new musical, and the location manager of Ipse. Next to this we made a lot of additional footage of the building and the ‘actors’. 

I was appointed to direct the camera and edit the reportage. The final edit would be done by Inge. This was where the problem began. We wanted to show both the match and the request for new volunteers, but after some drafts of edits we figured out that it was just too much for five minutes, and it was too complicated. So we only showed the request.
Sometimes you have to make choices in editing, no matter how hard it is to leave some things out.

And of course this is the first reportage featuring the great bumper!

The next reportage in which I cooperate will be about an art house (Filmhuis Lumen), also requesting volunteers.

And more like this.

All shot with a analog one-time camera. I think they have a great old feel. I’m filling up my second film roll now.
