This video is part of the total project “Title Safe”, originated by Walter Verdin.  Walter Verdin asked some collegues-videomakers (BAdrienne Altenhaus, Christel Coppens, Maïder Fortuné, Jo Huybrechts, Octavio Iturbe, Frank Theys, Anne-Mie Van Kerckhoven & Francis Vranckx ) to make a short video for the creation of TITLE SAFE. There is no fixed theme; the artists can work autonomously according to some simple rythmic and technical editing rules. The videos are shown one after the other as strophes of a long musical composition and interchanged with a musical theme (chorus) which Verdin composes and plays with various live musicians. The beat is fixed and is the only reference: 125 BPM, or 12 frames per beat.
