[:en]A picture above from last time we met. These are productions I did with Ruth, mainly as DoP (Director of Photography), at our studies at Open Studio, VideoTop, 2000-2001, in chronological order. It feels like a lot more. I placed them together here with details from youtube and vimeo for easy viewing. If anyone has more work of hers, please let me know so I can pass it on.
Rest in peace, dear brave Ruth. I see you everywhere.

[:nl]Een foto hierboven, van onze laatste ontmoeting. Dit zijn de producties die ik met Ruth heb gedraaid, meestal als DoP (Director of Photography), tijdens onze studie bij Open Studio, Videotop, 2000-2001, in chronologische volgorde. Het voelt alsof het er meer waren. Voor het gemak hier samen geplaatst met de details van youtube en vimeo. Als iemand nog ander werk van haar heeft, laat het asjeblieft weten zodat ik het door kan geven.
Rust zacht, lieve dappere Ruth. Ik zie je overal.

YOU’VE GOT NO FRIENDS, FRANKIE
Open Studio, Videotop classes, 2000-2001.
Frankie been bad. A stab at Mobfilms.
Triple featuring me, Frank Boxman, because Ruth and I made it up and filmed it in the same day, and we were fresh out of actors. Luckily a stand-in came along at some point in the form of Merijn Zijderlaan. He also did an amazing job with the smoke rings.
GRIJNS
Open Studio, Videotop classes, 2000-2001. Made with a lot of the video collective people as well, up north.
This was the final film for my studies at Open Studio Videotop.
Shot in a week, very strict storyboard, a clapper for every shot. Shooting these days is a lot quicker. So is post, because those computers were slow! Again, fun time was had by all.
