VJ Fieldov & The Belcea Quartet

I collaborated with The Belcea Quartet for the Bath International Music Festival (BIMF) "International Artists in Residence" Programme. I tried to reveal the unseen side of the group by filming them in rehearsal. I produced a mixture of atmospheric, site specific (The performance took place in the impressive ballroom of The Assembly Rooms in Bath) and documentary style visuals. I mixed this together with four live camera feeds.
It was a difficult project from the start because chamber music audiences seem to be very set in their ways. It actually upset a few people that we were even contemplating using video projections. I kind of understand because the music is so powerful and it's enough just watching the musicians play. But on the other hand there's no harm in trying something new is there? Thanks to Super Mega Action Plus for filming this for me.
