Final Move - Demon Games 2

The latest project I've been working on Final Move was a very daring and challenging short about a post apocalyptic world where a demon took over after he escaped from the game he'd been imprisoned to.

The story begins anew when one of the survivors of the initial game sets out to finish it and undo the harm that came onto the world, aided by some unlikely friends he meets along the way.

This project was great. It combined a great story with a great group of people with a vision and drive and I think the outcome might well be a fantastic one!

Here are some screen shots (no grading yet, this is just the images how they were recorded with the filters used.

Notice Cela in the background!!

Cela as 'the guardian'

Of the crew there are some people you might remember from previous projects of mine:

Yveline, who saved my sanity material-wise on Reiki and who makes one of the very best camera assistants I know

The director/cameraman who's on AnD as well (He and Yvi wrote the script together, if I'm correct and Team Awesome they make!)
This btw, was day four and he was getting ... edgy... pictures of him over the next few days are not for sensitive viewers and thus shall not be shown on the internet. (Only on the special edition of the DVD lol)

Meet Arne... if you dare

Great Annelien! Who came to help us out once again! She assisted in both Reiki and Life is an Art and continues to rock our socks

Rik co-produced Final Move and teams up for the occasion with Natasha Henri as battle-prone slaves.
Kick-ass!

Last but not least we have Mat Kemp, our wonderful sound engineer whom we were so lucky to steal away

He's still not sure what that thing does, but who cares! first met on Life is an Art, I tackled him and napped him to Belgium to help us out.

And Crane! Horray!

truely a behind the scenes shot ;)

ok, at this point I have to leave for work once again... Studio show (belgian version of 'hole in the wall', format brought to us from Japan, apparently ;)

Next week I'll be in holland assisting the camera department on a shortfilm.
I'll tell you everything when I get back!

take care!!

I always feel strange having to introduce myself, as I would presume I’m a bit biased, but for you I’ll make an honest attempt at objectivity…

Marie Olaerts (being ‘me’ in the third person) grew up in a small village in a small country with a great liking for action movies, SF and thriller/ suspense, dreaming of how it would be like to be on a set, not visiting, but actually doing something useful. And so, that dream in the back of her mind she ended up at the Rits, a Belgian school for film making, where she graduated in 2007 as a professional bachelor (option camera/ cinematography) with the short film ‘the blessing of Henry Mullin’ as cinematographer.

Ever since then she is working on different sets in different functions, but her true passion lies with cinematography. There is still so much to learn and try, enough to fill a lifetime she is happy to discover, and her vision altered by a film-focussed life and the things she saw; she loves the light that seems just a bit off to add to the scene.

Meeting new people and education opened her horizon to a much greater rage of films, especially the Asian cinema, of which ‘Hero’ is her favourite. Though she hasn’t had the chance to see as much films as she’d like, she’s striving to correct that in the near future.

Movies she holds in high regard are: Hero, Alien, The Crow, Darkness (for the mood of the film), Musa, The game, The usual suspects, Bin Jip, Old Boy …
The documentaries ‘Long Gone’ (http://www.longgonefilm.com/) and ‘Peuple Migrateur’ opened her eyes to the fact that this genre too can be beautiful to make and film-like to watch and Monty Python was like rediscovering the comedy genre all over again.
Nothing beats ‘The Holy Grail’.

Always having lived in the middle of nowhere; contact with nature is a necessity more then anything else and when she’s not on set she likes to roam forests, meet with friends and go to class (she’s been following Aikido since November 2007 and this has become a bit of a passion). Other then that, she likes to make photographs, read, draw and write.

… There’s not much more to say really. Hello world, this is me ;)

Light is only meaningful in relation to darkness and it is the infinite play of these two opposites, where and how they meet and their relation to a certain moment in time that I seek, not to perfect, but to rediscover...
