Carta Folien
A short about a writer who lays his draft out on the floor to find its order. Shot straight down so the pages read like a map, and graded to keep the lamplight warm and the rest of the room in shadow.

Frames from the project
Teun shot the whole film from the ceiling, which left the grade one job: keep a floor covered in paper readable as a map.
Warm in the middle, dark at the edges
The lamp sits by the sofa and everything outside its pool falls away. I pushed the edges darker than the camera saw them, so the pages nearest the light read first.
Area | What I did | Why |
|---|---|---|
Lamp pool | Kept it warm | It’s where he works |
Pages | Lifted a little | They carry the story |
Room edges | Pushed to black | Nothing to read there |
Paper is whiter than you think
Printer paper under a tungsten lamp turns orange fast. I held it just off white, so it still looks like paper and not like the lamp.
