Video Sketching as a Foundational Tool.
Video sketching in this context means working in audiovisual form to create an intermedia in the development of a proposed audiovisual work. It is a tool to create the foundation on which further development is based. It is also foundational, in the sense that it’s a method for working with qualities that are native to languages of cinema, and therefore difficult or impossible to manifest in words.
The research springs from a personal artistic praxis as a filmmaker, video artist, screenwriter and director with experiences from art installation, narrative fiction and cross-over documentary works, in a Danish and European art house cinema context.
