James Holden - The Animal Spirits

Video made by filming Lucy Suggate dancing in costume on stage, for a total of 16 different unique takes, each take was an improvised response to the piece

I later processed all of these takes through a feedback chain to give another 16 'spirit' presences of Lucy, this gave me 32 tracks to cut between

The best compliment was from Lucy herself, upon seeing the edit she remarked "you've made sense of all my movements" it felt very much like that and that I had in some way created the choregarphy in the edit.

Shot simply on a Canon 5d and with a 1960's Pentax 50mm prime, it had a softness to it that tried to place it in an ambigiuous timezone and place in history
