MUSIC VIDEO- STILLNESS AND SOUND
The musical track pictured in this video, "Stillness and Sound" was conceived of entirely independently of Ladakh. Yet we found that the 5 abstractions that the song explores, stillness, solitude, space, soul and sound come together so beautifully in the landscape. The video is a parallel, an answer to the song and a picturisation of the sound of the guitar which spins off into deep, introspective aural vortexes.
VIDEO EDITING/ REBRANDING
Maryanne Nicholls, a registered psychotherapist and life coach in Toronto wanted to re-brand an online course that she had developed. The course, a stress management tool was originally titled 'Burning the Candle at Both Ends'. She wanted to move to a more positive sounding title- 'Restore your Balance, Managing Stress and Anxiety'. The project involved creating a new logo and colour palette for the materials of the online course, working these into the edit of the new rebranded video, and also, editing out all video and sound frames which referenced the earlier title. Play the videos to see the how the same footage is repurposed, but all trace of the previous title is removed in the new video.
STOP MOTION SHORT
This graphic was made during an exploration of the fractal imaging freeware APOPHYSIS. The original graphic was made as an album cover for a psy-trance collective in Goa, India. The image was tweaked in photoshop to create a 'Medusa' effect and set in a stop motion loop to the Doors' "This is the End"
FILM TEACHING/ CURATION:
STUDENT MADE FILMS
What kind of Place is Goa?
Goa, India, is portrayed as a sun, sand, sex,drugs and alcohol binge, 'anything goes' place in the rest of India, This narrative on Goa popularized by Bollywood films informs the ‘place’ that Goa has become/ is further becoming.
This narrative traps Goa into a seasonal, touristic and unsustainable economy, to the detriment of locals.
As the culmination of the Space V/S Place project workshop for Undergraduate Students of Goa College of Architecture, students are asked to capture ‘their own Goa’ and furnish a different narrative, that illustrates a different ‘sense of place’ as way to dislodge the popular narrative.
You can see all 4 student made films (on 4 different areas/ territories in Goa) here.
The film featured on this page was shot, directed and edited by
Madhulika Kanchi, Andrea Rebello, Kshama Sawant, Kajal Gaonkar, Najamun Nisha and Pradnya Bhave.
