Works/Illustrerede Sange

The main goal of the project was to introduce and promote "Illustrated Songs" as a new and exciting concept for live concerts and art experiences. To make this happen, Creative Oak was hired to document and produce a video that would capture the essence of the project. Iris and Søren planned to use this video as a tool to share the concept and possibly sell it to event organizers and interested parties.

Project description

"Illustrerede Sange" offers a fresh way of combining live music concerts with art. This unique idea came from the collaboration between talented musician Søren Manscher and creative artist Iris Bakker. During a "Illustrated Songs" performance, Søren performs a concert with original Danish songs, while Iris paints live, creating moods and visual interpretations of Søren’s music. At the same time, her artwork is filmed and projected behind Søren, creating a visual story that reflects the feelings and messages of the music.

Creative Oak’s job was to capture both the intimacy and the clear understanding of this special concept during the performance. This included filming in several challenging settings, especially at Kolo’s Kiosk, a small space where it was important to keep the intimate atmosphere while sharing the space with an audience. Along with the live footage, an interview with the two artists was filmed to explain the project’s core idea with clear sound. These interview clips were added to the video to help viewers better understand the concept.

‍Technique

To capture the small details of the audience's expressions and emotions, most of the footage was shot in slow motion. This added a calming and creative feel to the project. Lavalier microphones were used to record the artists during the interview, ensuring clear and discreet sound quality.

Conclusion

"Illustrerede Sange" is more than just a live concert and art show—it’s a new and exciting concept that combines music and visual art in a unique way. Creative Oak’s work on the video has successfully captured the heart of the concept, allowing it to be presented to a wider audience and potential supporters. This project offers a chance to introduce "Illustrerede Sange" as a fresh art and entertainment idea that can be adapted to different events.
