Begegnung

Nightmare-Sequence for Shortfilm, Germany 2011, 45 Seconds
Stunt-/Effect-Direction / Postproduction
Production: Hamburg Media School

Matthias Zuders first 5 minute 35mm shortfilm "Begegnung" (engl: Encounter) needed a sequence of a woman falling down a long stairwell. I came up with a concept for telling the sequence in fluent shots interrupted by white and black frames to fit the stylistics of the movie and play with the characteristics of the medium.

I directed the stunt sequences in consent with Matthias and did the editing and postproduction.
This is a recut of the sequence. The shortfilm features it split in two parts, interrupted on impact.
