Over the past weeks, I’ve worked with a bunch of my old photos of a friend of mine, the brazilian modern dancer Sandro Masai in order to produce 14 short films to display during two classical concerts in Århus and Aalborg respectively. Each film was made of two copies of the same photo, one in a black & white state, another in a very colorful and dynamic state. In Final Cut Pro I created a transition between the two photos and matched the length of the film with the movement it had to accompany. In its essence a very simple process, but I sure did put a lot of hours into the color-processing and not to forget the selection of the photos.
I was really surprised with how well the outcome transferred onto the big big screens – especially in Aalborg (Nordkraft – the photo above) the photos came to live (literally). That screen was handmade from the canvas of an old cinema screen and build for the occasion. It has been fun reviewing a lot of old work and putting it up against another expression of art.
