My initial storyboards for a video project in 5 parts about Orpheus and Eurydice fell apart after the location I planned to shoot in was renovated (the storyboards called for a warehouse space that was dimly lit, was under construction and had peeling paint and plaster). At a loss for ideas, I went to a performance of Perfect Partner, a film by Kim Gordon, Tony Oursler and Phil Morrison, starring Michael Pitt and Jamie Bochert with a live soundtrack featuring: Tim Barnes, Kim Gordon, Ikue Mori, Jim O'Rourke and DJ Olive.

The work had a dual screen, double projection - one rear, one front. The front projection was a wire mesh that allowed images from the back screen to show through. The effect was amazing.
Inspired, I enlisted Alyssa Rae and Anna Plunkett to apply makeup to their faces and shot them in HD. The hope is that I can isolate each "stripe" (eyes, nose and cheeks, lips) and project two on a front screen and one on the back screen. Shooting in HD meant editing in camera as the ITP labs are not equipped with HD edit decks. It also meant incredible image quality.
