body beautiful documentary

A short documentary about Patricia Mallet, a Bellingham burlesque teacher, and her journey of exploring body positivity through dance.

the process

Taking the video from inception to finished product was a long process that included a lot of learning about lighting, production and post-production and breathing through a corrupted hard-drive with all of my footage on it. I was able to take the documentary from outline to final cut in a couple weeks. I shot Patricia several times, including a 2-camera fully lit interview, candid shots from several classes, and a sunset dance shoot.
