Breath, The Pulse of the Universe

One of our favorite yoga masters in Houston Texas, is the transcendental Pam Johnson. Together we created not only a film, but ultimately an immersive experience performance event. This short, inspirational film, featuring the Pam’s velvety and unbelievably deep breath and slow movement, is an elegant study of light and breath, honoring the technique and style of Bill Viola’s timeless video art. Both the film and performance were created to capture and inspire awareness about our constant companion, the breath. It is the essence and integrity of the ancient healing practice of yoga, as well as our innate human capacity to create and manage our internal spaces.

And we got a hilarious reminder of what it used to be like in the days when we still had a video tape transfer step, before  post production could commence.

Produced and directed by Lynn Birdwell, shot by Raul Casares, animated by Brandon Ray, and edited by Matt Holicek, everyone loved the music and the story. Happy to hear the band recently reunited to play together, and to see where their individual careers have taken them.

The Film and Video Gig Economy & the Coronavirus

For the gig economy, the effects from a recession versus the coronavirus pandemic are very different. If it were just a recession, we would just lose corporate and industrial work, for that time period. But with COVID-19 infecting people in groups, there is less chance of any productions continuing since film production is really a team sport. So, how do we continue moving forward.
