Queer&Pride Amsterdam
My role
In under a week, I took the lead on art direction, design, and animation for this project. I managed everything independently, with occasional input from the director. The video's outcome was a triumph – the client, Geemente Amsterdam, expressed contentment, as the video captured the essence and energy of the city perfectly.
Description:
This year, Queer & Pride Ambassadors collaborated with director Max Grapperhaus and Trip to the Moon Films on a unique project for Amsterdam.
The project sheds light on Amsterdam's Pride movement, which has shaped the city's identity through celebrations and protests. With access to Stadsarchief archives, we used a tactile collage style, incorporating paper textures, cuts, and tape, to depict the journey. The visuals are accompanied by vocals from Kyara Harley, while Amp Amsterdam crafted the project's immersive sound design.
Director Max, says: “For a queer filmmaker that grew up in Amsterdam (add my cute degree in History with that) this project was a slay to work on. Next to that: with Ambassadors by your side you know you’ll get next-level results. Let us be inspired by Amsterdam’s special queer history and be motivated to act today and in the future.”
