WARNING: This video essay contains footage of graphic violence that may be disturbing to some viewers. Viewer discretion is advised. Many fiction features have used real footage to flesh out their story. Integrating archival footage into a fiction film can be a cheap solution to increase the production value of your film. But sometimes glossing over the difference between that real footage and the fictional images of the film cheapens the historic images. Especially when a film uses extremely violent archival footage. This video essay, commissioned by the International Film Festival Rotterdam, focuses on several films that incorporated real images of real violence. But these particular movies didn’t even attempt to seamlessly integrate that footage. Instead, these films are shaken to their very core by the archival violence: their narratives break down, their movement freezes. They are movies marked by an image.

Elektron is releasing the new Digitone, and I was fortunate to have a chat with the sound engine designer Simon from Elektron.

Synopsis : Le jour où une étrange brume mortelle submerge Paris, des survivants trouvent refuge dans les derniers étages des immeubles et sur les toits de la capitale.

Sans informations, sans électricité, sans eau ni nourriture, une petite famille tente de survivre à cette catastrophe… Mais les heures passent et un constat s’impose : les secours ne viendront pas et il faudra, pour espérer s’en sortir, tenter sa chance dans la brume…

For MovieMaker magazine, I talked to practical and digital effects artists from Blood Brothers and Alchemy24 about combining forces to make some killer horror fx. The full story is in the MovieMaker ‘Complete Guide to Making Movies 2018’.
