Everyone in One
















Three different moments of life with family, friends and aquaintances rolled into each photograph.

Apparently inserting the same film in three times would have been too much for my old Minolta and it all of a sudden, after having been my loyal artistic partner, decided to die on me.

I still have these wonderful lively photos and souvenirs to remind me of it - so all's well that ends well?

Still miss it though.

Showreel

This is an edit I did for my showreel, cut to a song I absolutely love from Beach House - 'Silver Soul'.
It includes all the music videos that I directed and co-directed in the past 3 years.

This is another music video we made for such a tiny budget.
It's for Theoretical Girl with XL recordings and was shot on a Panasonic HVX200.
Kaleidoscope!

Life of Tights

Surprise, surprise, it's been a long while stuck in my hard drive but here it finally is Mlle Barth and Mme Cohen-Tanugi...
I think however that this is one of the first edits - oh well, there's music.
Enjoy mesdames!

Just a note: this is, I must explain, just something we did for fun, our first experiment with stop motion... hmmm

Winter Blues

































































I want to be on a boat... traveling towards an island called Rose.
The sun beating down on me, getting my snorkel ready to see the
hundreds of tropical coloured fish at the coral reef.
Only to dive in there and start screaming when I imagine a shark
coming at me, while I'm staring under water.
And get my underwater camera stolen by a huge green fish who
then plays piggy in the middle with me, passing it to his fish friends.
Mr Bob I call this guy, the double bubble, with his beer in one hand
and his 'I'm in the Bahamas' hat.
