Weird, surreal, beautiful and bizarre… Welcome to the forest of the Lost Village.
For Chapter IV of Lost Village Festival we wanted to push the cinematography even further than before, focussing this time on the contrast between brand new and vintage tech. Using two RED Gemini cameras as well as Super 8 and VHS we aimed to create a feeling of old vs new – reflecting the weird and wonderful characters and setting of the festival.
In the edit, we punched into and sped up VHS clips to create quick cuts of grainy colour between crisp RED clips. We also added a strong layer of sound design underneath Maribou State’s ‘Kama’, especially in the intro sequence, to create a feeling of increasing tension.
Bring on Chapter V!
Brother Film is a creative production company, founded by brothers.
From making skate films on VHS as kids, Brother has developed into a production company based in Peckham, London. With a small core team and a tight network of world-class directors and crew, we pride ourselves on delivering creative work with good people.
We love seeing a concept through from idea generation to the final file upload, but are equally adept at jumping into a project at any stage.
Peckham is a big part of Brother’s DNA, and we started up a local event series, Peckham Filmmakers, to link up local creatives and hero their work.
Our sister company Brother Music is an award-winning music and sound studio, creating bespoke scores and soundscapes for both Brother’s work and a range of other directors, agencies and production companies.
We’re still enthusiastic skater kids at heart, and want that to bleed through into everything we do.
