We filmed on February 1st. Olivier and me. It was really cold outside!! I have two pairs of pants on me, big boots, big muffles and still… I was freezing! But it was worth it. I love the sky when it is cold and colour already give a cold feeling which marks a big contrast with the warm colour of October.
As predict, we got a lot of images (too much, maybe) around those spaces we chose the week before. And since this day, I had played with sound and images each day of the month … learning from technology and learning to be able to play with technologies (I learned what a proxy is). It was a back and forth between the sound composition and the video composition … because both give access to new relations and a different feel of what is happening and what should (or shouldn’t) appear. Adding a sound here gives an opening for an image here (and the opposite is also true).
As I said before, I like to play on different planes, sound and image doesn’t need to be fixed together.
I’ve made three different timelines, but I think the last one is gonna last. As the theme stays the same, what make the structure change completely my composition. So, the first timeline was more around videos with stillness, the second with videos of walking and the third is a twist in between. The third one seems to say something about life—birth and death—which is more what I found interesting about nature during the process. It was also easier to put older videos which bring riches warm colours to the film.
