araabMUZIK - Mini-Documentary

Araabmuzik from alec sutherland on Vimeo.

n December of 2010 Burn Energy Drink (A Coca-Cola Brand) put out a call for treatment submissions for a series of web films they were commissioning. Having recently worked with the young producer/MPC (Music Production Center) savant Araabmuzik, Director Alec Sutherland was inspired to create an installation that could be a real time, visual articulation of Araab’s actions on the MPC. The treatment for this idea was submitted and selected by Burn.

With a modest amount of money, Alec and his crew set forth to build a light setup that would converse instantly with Araab’s MPC. After a week of troubleshooting an array of computer software, DMX controllers, Midi converters, dimmer pads, electrical latency, power conversions, finally a pad on the MPC was pushed simultaneously lighting a single LED strip. 16 LED lights were custom wired and fabricated.

The shoot lasted two-days: the first spent documenting Araab in everyday situations accompanied by audio excerpts from a candid interview. The second was spent at Broadway Stages in Greenpoint Brooklyn, building the light setup and finally, recording Araab’s performance.

What you see of the performance is about three and half minutes of excerpts, taken from a nine minute set. Each set was shot on 4 cameras to enable a live, real time edit of Araab’s performance. The 16 lights are triggered exclusively by Araab’s actions on the MPC, the result being a precise visual translation of the music he’s creating.

This film has been completed for months but we were unable to release it do to Burn’s brand repositioning. Recently, they gave us a choice: release the film now on your own, or wait until August when Burn/Coca-Cola will put their corporate weight behind it. We have decided to release it now because we would like people to see it as something other than an advertisement. Thank you and we hope you enjoy.

Philip Bloom: "Insipiens"

From Philip Bloom's Vimeo Page:

A short narrative film that I decided to shoot in a few hours after the Majorca Masterclass.

It stars Nina K (who's real name is Nino but she goes by Nina to avoid people confusing her gender!) and my new friend Ronad Vonk.

Both where students at the Masterclass and stayed on to help me shoot this little film I had in my head.

This is shot on a Sony F3 simply because I have not really shot anything on my new F3 since I got so this was the perfect chance. Although much of this would have been great with the DSLRs. this camera is simply an absolute beauty.

Lenses were the Zeiss CP.2 85mm, and the Cooke made RED lens branded 18-50 lens. I had others with me but this was alll I needed!

The handheld is shaky for a reason...it's handheld. Steadicam would give it a total wrong feel. So mixture of organic handheld and locked off tripod shots...

Check out my blog soon for info including a commentary,BTS video and loads of info!
