[Ok,now you can undress...]

As you might have noticed, I shot a short movie a few weeks ago for a young burlesque dancer (Mademoiselle Joris), and I found some time in between to edit it.

So here it is :

Hope you'll like, as much as I do. You'll find some studio shots I took while I was completing the editing and rendering FXs.

[Save the last dance...]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Thu, 15 Sep 2011 05:18:32 PDT

Joris (that's the girl) asked me to be part of a photo shooting she had planned with Pauline Darley (Click her, she's worth it...). I took the camera, filmed her posing and tearing a pillow out.

I switched lenses.

She was playing piano as an echo of some lost kingdom that belonged to a dead king, walking randomly in a backyard some miles around Paris, revealing the marks ink have laid upon her.

Teasing is what it's all about.

The film will be released in no time, and will definitely worth it... just teasing...

[Kelina Riva vs. Pleasure Addiction]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Sun, 21 Aug 2011 00:59:49 PDT

Pleasure Addiction (click it...) will release its first album in September and the band asked me to shoot the photos for the booklet. We decided with Pam (the drummer) to ask Kelina Riva to model for us, she accepted (we are truly grateful). It's not the first time I work with her and as usual it was the hell of a good time (she was the girl... there). I'd like to thank also Caroline David [KSCorp.] for the make-up & the pink room.

Pam is still handling the cover design and I can't therefor publish all the photos yet, you'll need to wait but it won't be that long.

[the roads we were through]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Sun, 17 Jul 2011 11:55:04 PDT

There are moment, peculiar moments when you go through the very steps you once walked, the odors you once smelled and the things you once touched. Time brought its alteration, and memory its loss. But everything is still there, almost untouched, un-breathed and un-felt.

I was there once, with the same smell of dirt within the rain, with the same rust beneath my touch and the same ground under my feet. If you asked me how it was then, I guess I couldn't remember exactly. There are times like roads you once took and will always recognize at first glance.

I was there once.

[Aesthesia - Under sixteen video]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:03:21 PDT

We were in such a rush (we had to go abroad to prepare some work you'll hear about pretty soon) we didn't have time to upload the video right here. So here it is, Aesthesia Under Sixteen Video Clip! We are really proud of the result and I guess the band is happy with it too. Watch it and spread it, leave a comment a go buy their record and see them live.

[Under sixteen]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Fri, 03 Jun 2011 05:47:45 PDT

Killer Shot Corp. is happy to announce the release of Aesthesia's clip: Under sixteen. Support the band, buy the album (released on Shotgun Generation records), go see them live, visit their website (www.aesthesia-rocks.com) and 'like' them on facebook.

We'd like to thank the band for their trust, and we'd like to thank also everybody who's been helping us on this shooting: JM & Nathalie, Lisa, Christophe and others (you know who you are...).

It took us some time and energy and we managed to fuel our fire as you can see ont eh pictures.

[We're almost there...]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Mon, 30 May 2011 01:21:47 PDT

This is almost it... we worked non-stop since last post with Kukass on post-production (days & almost nights). Things are coming to an end and we're pretty excited with the result. Aesthesia will come and check the work and we'll then upload it. Be a little patient, we're almost done.

[Aesthesia vs. color correction]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Mon, 23 May 2011 15:55:26 PDT

We have reached the post-production process for Aesthesia's clip: it means we are almost done. It's been 3 days now that we work on color correction, shapes and curves. There is still some work to be done, but we can now have a pretty good overlook of the final result. Thanks to Kukass things are evolving pretty much (he handles Nuke as no one and rules totally). As always, post-production takes more time than we thought (perfectionnist you said?), but we can now see the end of the tunnel. We'll keep you updated.

[numb]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Wed, 18 May 2011 08:53:01 PDT

At first you feel nothing, it is like some painless stinger. Some uncommon warmth comes with it, it grows and makes you less and less sensitive to what you thought you never felt. Your limbs get numb, your entire body is. Lines in front of you break, turn and swirl. You realize you never paid any attention to those lines, were they that straight before... Then you wonder if you ever tried to follow one of them, to feel both its ends and beginnings. You're not sure, and feel rather confused. You want to leave but you can't turn back, as i said before, your limbs are numb.

[Gimme a ride]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 09:36:25 PDT

We were asked by a french Hard Rock band (they are friends actuallly), Aesthesia, to shoot the video clip for their song Under Sixteen : you can find this track on the new album Shattered Idols released on Shotgun Generation Records (2011) [check this].

We began the shooting on April 10th, in a old factory near Paris and finished it on April 16th, with JM's 67' Camaro (that ride is hot as hell !). For the occasion, we casted a few girls and met a young australian actress, Lisa Hurst (this girls is really talented). We still have some work, but we're all excited to see it finished (you'll get soon some making of footage).

Go support the band, buy their CD, and spread the word. You can check them on facebook too.

They have a killer merch.

[some end to the world]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 03:59:25 PDT

You walk and then stop, you couldn't go further anyway. You screw up your eyes to try and see beyond. Everything fades in one line that won't ever be closer.

Everything stops right here.

[some departure]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 05:56:18 PST

Then, I went first south then west, for a few days. I wasn't expecting nothing but warming up some cold on black shores and pale blue waves.

It started there.

More is to expect, as usual.

Snaps around lines drawing directions to some end of the world. Curves, stripes and spills leading nowhere but where we've been before (drawing circles again?).

Rollin'

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 02:43:36 PST

The Electrogeloz film: we went back to Bercy production site 2 days ago to film a few more machines and record sounds, several hours spent in chemical smell and highly repetitive noises.

We asked Séverine to come around to record the voice over. She has a great voice, works fast and quickly gets it. A pack of cigarettes and a few beers later, everything was recorded and ready to be edited.

We'll be back pretty soon.

Long time no see...

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Wed, 15 Dec 2010 08:25:58 PST

We've been kinda busy lately : new projects with new clients. We shot last week a corporate movie and are working hard on editing it (effects and so on). It should be ready for the first week of january, hopefully.

Other projects should come up pretty soon : music, photos and more films online. We'll keep you updated.

Since then, take care.

[the mark has been made]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 00:42:26 PDT

After the exhibition, containers left some indelible mark on the ground. The only proof we had been there for a few days, drawing circles in square boxes that had been everywhere but here before.

[uncontaining what circles have drawn]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 04:00:39 PDT

A short video shot Monday morning (September, 27th) while removing the containers from la Friche de l'art : the end of our installation [drawing circles]. I had a great moment there and i'd like to thank the team (Aurore, Caroline and Diego for helping me out through all the steps of this exhibition), Kelina (for accepting to be part of it too), all the people who gave me their old TV-sets (Olivier, Céline, Claude, Jean-Jacques, Adrienne, Nicolas) and of course LECAP (Jean-Pierre Faurie and Jacques Perraud). We had a great feedback that increased my motivation to keep on going on (as she would say...).The film inside the TVs will be soon online.

1_le film : tout s’axe autour du cercle qui symbolise ici le cycle (et donc le recyclage). Un personnage se retrouve coincé à l’angle de deux frontières une verticale (la falaise) et l’autre horizontale (la mer). Le cercle dont ce personnage parle représente une forme rassurante, presque fœtale, mais aussi le travail de mémoire que nous faisons vis-à-vis de toute chose : elle trace des cercles comme pour entourer ce qu’elle veut garder d’un moment, tout circonscrire et penser ne rien perdre. Puis, recycler c’est créer à partir d’une chose un produit moins noble que celui d’origine : le souvenir n’est-il pas une vision dégradée d’une première impression et qui se dégrade encore et encore, s’enjolive de fantasmes ou se perd à jamais… Les sentiments ne sont-ils pas la redite perpétuelle d’une sensation première que l’on cherche ou recherche encore, où l’on s’use petit à petit à force d’aimer, d’être déçu et vivre simplement.

2_Les écrans : le film est déconstruit sur plusieurs écrans. Chaque télé a été récupérée dans la rue, donnée par des amis… une forme de recyclage pour ces objets maintenant obsolètes. Le découpage du film sur ces supports divers déconstruit l’image, la dégrade, la décale petit à petit. On parle de cercle à l’intérieur de tubes cathodiques qui renvoient une suite d’images rectangulaires, elles.

3_Le container : cette coque cubique devient l’écran, on regarde l’image déconstruite avec le recul qu’impose le container et l’on recompose à chaque seconde l’image originale, entière. On recycle mentalement des bouts d’impression pour se faire un tableau général de l’histoire de cette femme qui marche, trace des cercles coincée entre l’horizon et ses souvenirs.

Here you can listen to the [Drawing circles] soundtrack. I composed this tune a few years ago in a rather different context but it fits this one perfectly.

[Drawing circles : text & snaps]

noreply@blogger.com (Killer Shot Corp.) — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 04:32:31 PDT

We are drawing circles. We draw circles and get always to the same point, endlessly; to put most things in a cycle of life so we won't loose anything, at least not for too long; or everything our life means to us. We want to keep traces of our surroundings, feelings and sensations no matter where we go, what we do, who we have met or when we'd have like to meet them: the places, the people, the smell or anything else memories brought up together.

We draw circles to get this feeling, useless in a way, to live these sensations again and again. It is maybe a way to play confident, and protect ourselves from things to happen, or moments to come. Or is it some kind of an inbred canvas we can't escape from, we're so used to it now, some limits our mind plays tricks with, within which we're stuck, endlessly.

I keep drawing circles, overlapped sometimes, to keep on going on. Because what you like you want to keep on living it endlessly and what you love you want to keep on falling for it endlessly. I am drawing circles to get lost in them and within them, to feel again what I feared I might loose for as far as I know nothing really ends as long as you stay quietly within those boundaries you’ve drawn yourself in. I re-cycle, re-use and re-store each and every piece of me.

They say that recycling is giving things a new life, but what they don't say is that this second life is always less valuable, a degraded copy of a first impression, for everything falls apart at last without ever ending.

I draw circles, endlessly.
