in Transit

The short film-set ‘in Transit’ portrays concept development of visual principles and content-related ideas. Searching through creating, exploring while making and editing.

Martin Kers: ‘Kristel van Issum and Blennard Azizaj were working together for a few weeks, defining the figure and material. Once in the studio to capture these results, we decided to take the process of filmmaking into unknown territory; instead of a conventional workflow (shooting, editing, composing music and creating the film, mostly in seperate studios) the aim was to work in a more collective form. The performance was shot in a greenscreen studio as well as in outdoor locations in the real world. The results of these recordings were prepared for the next phase; realtime editing and re-recording of this initial footage, processed and manipulated by external musical triggers and vj-like cut ‘n’ paste and looping techniques. This created more of an abstract atmospheric moody feel than a conventional film would normally have. The outcome of this ‘resarch’ could be separate shots, a meme, a series of sequences, photographic images’.
