Shooting Water


Today was the first day I felt the Memento Mori was really moving on: I went to Malmi swimminghall to help Viara and Heikki to shoot some video scenes that will be part of the Main Stage sequence. They had some more friends there to help out, mainly the girl swimmers and even a professional diver for shooting the underwater scenes!

The purpose of these video sequences was to visualize emotions related with a mystic character (the swimmer), in a mix of sensuality and deadly struggle with the water element, associated with her Near Death Experience.

Viara made the costumes herself and also put the make-up on the 3 girls that came to do the acting. They were really brave, having to swim with costumes and rope around them, and act as if they were drowning… it was scary but in the end nobody got hurt and we got really nice film shots!
