Belated Video and Stills Post 1

This post is long-overdue, the videos concerned having been made and edited atleast a month ago, there are more to follow but I felt it would have been a bit lengthy to include all of them in this single post (not to mention they were all made at different times- they will be uploaded chronologically).

The first one is a result of my earlier posts on Hans Bellmer, based on his sculpture wherein two pairs of mannequin's legs are joined together by a ball-and-socket joint at the waist (below). My video work for this mostly revolves around the 'has and has not' a crotch element, wherein the legs finish before they reach the crotch, but the joining of them using the mirroring technique creates a v-shaped pseudo-crotch. Other than this the video itself was quite simple to make, it was shot in HD on the Kodak Zi8 in ambient, natural light and the slightly low-budget 'mirror' effect was added in using Final Cut. The shoes and socks were designed to mimic Bellmer's dolls and also give an inkling of information about the identity of the model.
