NON STOP MOTION
MATEJ JANÄŒAR VIDEOGRAPHY
A collaboration with dancer and choreographer Sabrina Roett. Shot in Folkestone, UK in one day, edited over night. Had to be real fast.
A dance video made in collaboration with dancer and choreographer Micheala Cisarikova as her final degree piece. A story of four elements progressing from stillness to movement and finally merging together in harmony.
this was a test of my new camera Sony A77 with 16-55mm f/2.8 SSM kit lens. It was shot handheld and there was very little done to the image in terms of colour correction. I decided I dont want to shoot just random compositions to test my camera, so I made something out of it.
