The Making of Ich Traeume Von Dir
For this project I had the opportunity to collaborate with production designer William Mansell and cinematographer Antonia Schäfer to create a pixilation short—all in just three days. Drawing from my background in choreography, I particularly enjoyed directing the movement of bodies in front of the camera. The space we created for the film was a collective effort, inspired by German Expressionism, which we all admired for its bold, dramatic use of light and shadow. We also wanted to experiment with forced perspective to enhance the sense of depth and distortion in the world we were building. Here you can see the painted textures on the cardboard walls and the size of the set:
The fast-paced process was fun, and there was great energy on set!
