After a long, never quite hot summer and an autumn in name only, this winter in London has hit me quite hard. It turns out that creative projects are a great way to chase the blues away, so I jumped at the chance to collaborate with Fifi Fatale on her new showreel. With the cooperation of the lovely people at Proud Cabaret (special thanks to Charlotte and Matteo) who let us use their stage, we got off to a great start on the footage that will become Ms Fatale’s new showreel.
With studied reference to the age-old elegance of the last century’s silver screen stars, Fifi Fatale girds herself in grace and glamour. Her well-developed sense of the dramatic inspired me to take advantage of the existing stage lighting while bending my own lights towards the creation of a veil of shadow into which Ms Fatale could disappear–and then reappear. This will hopefully draw in the viewer since we often focus our greatest attention on the beauty we know is there but hasn’t yet revealed itself.
