Classical music video series : "New York" (serie no.1) / "Paris" (serie no.2)
Synopsis : A hip-hop style metisse guy in his 30's cross paths with a long dark-haired, innocent look young woman carrying a classical music score (Beethoven Kreutzer' Sonata). As he gives a glance at the score and identifies the melody, he gets carried away and follows her in a fantastic world composed of New York and Paris. But the appearences are deceiving : as they cross paths in the lost corridors of time and space of these two cities, she enjoys taking power over him. When he touches her, she vanishes away. She is the music, and she tricks him. He's running after the music to find her back. Poetic tone, no dialogue.
Genre : music video. Please refer to "Double Six" and "Trio" to check the tone.
Format : H.D; 5'30"
Objective : mix the two cities with editing (axes, light, actions) to convey the impression that 5th avenue and the Champs Elysees are one block away one to each other and that the music takes both characters in a fantastic world.
