Lockdown Video Shorts.

…………………………………

During the Lockdown of 2020,
I dedicated time to making Video Shorts as an outlet for creativity
and as a way of cradling mental sanity.

Lockdown Boulevard
(adapted from ‘Sunset Boulevard’, Movie and Musical)

Made in different parts of my house.
In all, this was a 5 week project: endless prepping then shooting over 4 days and nights.
Done alone.

Prospero / The Tempest.
“Ye Elves” – Act 5 Sc 1

The first Lockdown video I made was for a group project, ‘The Tempest’,
which was made scene by scene by different artists.
I used a single set up and moved a camera above my own face and around the set..
Done alone, as with the Sunset Boulevard short.

A Sense of Dawn
(il Verso dell’Alba)

This film was a commission from the culture office of my Town Hall.
They wanted a filmed performance to mark the stepping away from severe quarantine to the next phase of opening up.
The Photographer / Filmmaker, my collaborator, was Francesco Ferrarini.
