The Other Stuff

Continuim
A dance film, based on the stage creation of Christine Gouzelis and Paul Blackman and directed by Daniel Kedem. Created with the dancers of the Gothenburg's opera dance company.
A schizophreniac dance piece spills off the stage and through the halls of the Gothenburg opera. Part reimagned off stage, part documentary and part stage documentation - it is an experiment in film with the logic of dance.

The Rhino
The Rhino is a completely different type of project.
It is a tool. Not a film.
But it was born out of a film and the joy of designing solutions for unusual projects.
Initially, we were asked to film bicycle riders who commute over long distances to work; Some on roads, some across the desert. We thought that a motorcycle would be a great place to begin with.
So we have The Rhino. It can carry a cinema-grade camera with a light zoom lens, fully suspended and fully controlled.
Anywhere.
Recently, we got to use it for a series of motorcycle riding instructional videos - so we thought it's a great opportunity for some BTS.
