This is the place where ’the magic happens’. From 2013 I’ve been filming here. Series like Natures Mortes (2013-2015), Respice Finem (2017-2018), and now Homo Bulla (2019-2021) were created here.
Unfortunately, everything comes to an end. The dismantling and construction of the Meelfabriek, as part of the redevelopment into a complex of homes, businesses and a hotel, is in full swing. I feel very grateful that I was able to work here until spring 2021.
Soap bubbles professionals Saskia Marges and Jeroen Maatman from Bubblusion came to Leiden. For the series The Last Waltz they created special smoke bubbles. For the series Nocturnes they made a.o. ‘clustered’ shapes.
In The Last Waltz one session was filmed simultaneously from three different points of view. This resulted in three testimonies of one event.
In Nocturnes two films were shot in the former boiler room, one after the other. The other was shot on the fifth floor of the same building.
It thundered and rained hard. In the warehouse and silo building was huge leakage. We made use of that.
While four sound artists, Helga Kruse, Elsbeth Klink, Greet Meesters and Ingrid Appels, were making voice improvisations elsewhere in the building, the film recordings for We Float I also started.
