When I made 'Renaissance' in summer 22, it was the first summer after the official end of lockdown in Europe. Many of us used this time to learn about themselves or develop new skills to come out the quarantine better than before. Renaissance describe the comeback of a Man who gets to the top (of the pirogue) but then needs to reflect the episodes that got him there in order to finish better. When editing, I have played with the black & white and the "comic/cartoon" effect to reflect the change of timeline and the reminiscence. The uptempo of the beat add to the effect of prime at the end, with the part lasting longer than the beginning.
For this video we went to Ivory Coast and had to deal with the beauty and challenges than the country brings. We were really short on time and could not explore the different ideas I had. The number of shots were also very limited. Thankfully, both my friends at the drone and camera are professional photograph and did a quality job.
