Brief Candle
Dorotea choreographed and stars in this sequel to PAINTED. Brief Candle brings Andrew Wyeth's 'Christina's World' to life and explores how bio-electricity galvanizes the protagonist into discovering muscular intelligence. Light field setup with 50 lamps, thousands of feet of power cord, and careful visual effects in post. Shot with 3 cameras in 30 minutes once right after sunset, and then again just before sunrise the next morning. Special gratitude to Godspeed You! Black Emperor whose music is used courtesy of them, and by permission of Rough Trade Publishing
