Batsheva Dance Company – Love/Max

December 20, 2009 | Comments

A small report on the amazing Batsheva performance Love/Max, at the 2009 Holland Dance Festival in The Hague. I shot this video about a month ago with Noëlle and Teuta. (Teuta on camera, Noëlle and me behind camera & editing.)

The project was a lot of fun to do, as well as a little frustrating at times. For all of us, this was our first time working in iMovie and my perfectionistic mind just can’t get over how the exported youtube clip is way darker than the original footage and how the audio is quite inconsistent.

Project: Holland Dance Festival 2009

October 28, 2009 | Comments

Starting today, the Holland Dance Festival 2009 will take place in various theatres in The Hague. A group of people, including me, will form so called minicrews to cover some performances in short video clips.

In the past 2 days I created these bumpers to be used in those clips.

Can’t take my life from me

October 22, 2009 | Comments

Inspired by the closing of the Landmark Education Amsterdam Center, which was like a second home to many people.(Yours truly included.)

Written and recorded in a single evening – last evening, to be precise – and as such probably subject to change in the coming weeks.

Make it pay (Live @ Ten Post)

September 20, 2009 | Comments

I don’t do political songs. So when a subject like the financial crisis comes along, this is my take on it.

It was recorded at my mom’s birthday party. The garden was only lit by candles, some christmas decoration and a small fire, so obviously the footage is very dark.

This is a video of my vocal group Men Unlimited performing Mama Said, an a capella song we borrowed from Huey Lewis and the News, who in turn borrowed it from The Shirelles.

Last weekend we had our first show in many months, on the yearly Enschede food tasting festival Proefeet.

August 8, 2009 | Comments

A short Dutch documentary on being an Industrial Designer. Six Industrial Design students share their vision on this profession.

Due to some technical difficulties (I won’t bore you with the details), I had to split the film up in two parts.

Documentary: Done

July 20, 2009 | Comments

As I wrote before, the deadline of my documentary about being an industrial designer was July 11th. That wasn’t completely true: the deadline for the report was  friday, July 10th, and the documentary itself was due one week later: friday, July 17th.

And well… it’s done!!! I am quite pleased with the end result, especially considering that it was fully made in 6 weeks. So why is it not here?

Fool Ya: Teaser

June 29, 2009 | Comments

Inbetween managing a body that is not well and a study project with a strict deadline, every now and then I find the motivation to spend a few hours on this project. And even though it’s only about 15% finished, I’d like to share a short teaser with you which illustrates where I’m going with this.

Why a dead cat is a good idea

June 25, 2009 | Comments

This is a fragment of one of the interviews I did for my documentary on Industrial Design. The audio is recorded with a “shotgun” (or “directional”) microphone without a microphone cover. (I do own one, but couldn’t find it at the time.)
