The Other Stuff
Continuim
A dance film, based on the stage creation of Christine Gouzelis and Paul Blackman and directed by Daniel Kedem. Created with the dancers of the Gothenburg's opera dance company.
A schizophreniac dance piece spills off the stage and through the halls of the Gothenburg opera. Part reimagned off stage, part documentary and part stage documentation - it is an experiment in film with the logic of dance.

Face to Face
A personal experience of getting to know the dancers of Gothenburg's Opera Dance Company. That was the idea behind this project. Face to Face.
The project consisted of installing six touch screens in the opera's bar; each screen has a gallery of all 39 dancers of the company and one set of headphones. Choosing a dancer launches a 3-5min video of them introducing themselves in a personal way.

The Rhino
The Rhino is a completely different type of project.
It is a tool. Not a film.
But it was born out of a film and the joy of designing solutions for unusual projects.
Initially, we were asked to film bicycle riders who commute over long distances to work; Some on roads, some across the desert. We thought that a motorcycle would be a great place to begin with.
So we have The Rhino. It can carry a cinema-grade camera with a light zoom lens, fully suspended and fully controlled.
Anywhere.
Recently, we got to use it for a series of motorcycle riding instructional videos - so we thought it's a great opportunity for some BTS.
