Bokeh Dance #1

This weeks kick about on Red’s Kingdom is the glorious dancing soundsuits of Nick Cave. I knew that I wanted to make a film, I wanted it to be loud and primal and I wanted to use some sort of fabric or elements that could makeup the intricate soundsuits of Nick Cave’s creations. I decided to chuck a bag of shiny sequins of various shapes into a large wok and film it! Bringing down the shutter speed of my camera and aperture while defocusing so that the tacky butterflies, hearts and stars become nothing but dancing spherical orbs lit ablaze with a tiny but powerful led light. It was one of those moments were everything fell into place so nicely. The edit was a dream and thoroughly enjoyable.
