The Burnings
Twenty visions. Twenty creative ways of making paper ads explode, catch fire and go up in flames. Two days of shooting, one of editing, and one very dramatic Pyromancer to execute the visions.










The filming
Since this was an internal project for PR reasons, there was no budget to speak of. Fortunately we came in contact with a professional fire breather who was interested in the exposure (Pyromancer.nl) and we had some contacts with a local squatter zone in which a flooded bunker provided the most amazing, dramatic backdrop we could ask for. Then, we set forth and burned.
