I've spent my weekend with my new best friend Daniela Pozino and her family in Itaipuacu (It-eye-poo-a-sue) near Niteroi eating delicious food, learning Portuguese but primarily making a dance film! We met on Leticia Ramos' course at Danca em Foco two weeks ago and decided to make a dance film together.
The idea of the film is to explore with movement of the dancing body and the camera the meaning of the Itaipuacu. Itaipuacu name comes from the original native language here which is Tupi and translates too
ITA- Rock
Y- Noise
PU - Water
ASSU - Big
Daniela improvised with these ideas with movement whilst I used them to influence the camera (and movement of it) we've played alot with perspective... making things seem big or small and echoing the movement of the sea.
The music has been provided by Daniela's brother Luciano, he is a musician and this track as well was created during an improvised jam so it was a perfect choice for our film.
We spent most of the day yesterday filming and then the evening (and a bit of this morning) editing. We used my Toshiba flip camera to film....
