zZz is Playing: Grip

This promo, which was recorded live as part of the opening ‘Nederclips’ at the Stedelijk Museum’s-Hertogenbosch, consists of a one-take overhead shot featuring trampolining gymnasts. The gymnasts, choreographed by Sabine Linz, display large plaques emblazoned with words such as ‘pulse’ and ‘blur’, simulating typical music video editing effects in their movements. Simultaneously, the band is seen lying to the side of the trampoline playing their instruments as artwork is being prepared. Roel Wouter wanted the audience at the opening to be able to witness the whole shoot, filmed in HD, with the footage then being added to the exhibition immediately afterwards. This gave Roel no option to re-shoot or edit if something went wrong.
