Monster's Walk in Ten Chapters

I was brought on board this project to assist Deveron Projects in the planning, budgeting and production of a film work; to work with the artist in developing his ideas for screen; to manage the production and post production; and to film and edit the work. 

This was an exciting and challenging project about creating a flexible space for the artist to explore his ideas with film and keeping the process as open as possible, while still having a handle on the practical implications of ideas and ensuring the feasibility of the outcome. Throughout this process it is also always important to gauge the extent to which the artist wants involve themselves in the visual storytelling, composition and editing. Irineu had quite distinctive shots in mind, and after developing our ideas through conversations, experimentations, and walks around the town taking pictures, I was able to get into Irineu’s frame of reference enough that I could capture his performance without him needing to check every frame or composition. The result was essentially a series of wide shots for the monster to move around in, and a very slow-placed, calm film, where the frame is so full of big and small details that you can explore quite a lot in the minute or two that the shot is on-screen.
