First In – 9 years video trailer
Event trailer for nine years of First In in Frankfurt: video production for the anniversary party. A party trailer for the ninth anniversary of First In in Frankfurt.
A party trailer for the ninth anniversary of First In in Frankfurt. The opening scene is a black stretch limousine pulling up at dusk in front of a lit period building, the skyline behind. An anniversary film for an event series tells nine years in a couple of minutes and depends on the regulars recognizing themselves.
A limousine pulling up at dusk is the opening scene an event series needs. It shows arrival, place and ambition in one shot — and it can be planned, because it is the only thing at such an evening that happens on cue.
Blue hour is the only window for it. Before it the façade lighting does nothing, after it the car stands in a black hole; in between lie about twenty minutes in which sky and light match.
Telling nine years in a few minutes then means relying on repetition. The same rooms, the same faces, the same rituals in different years — what makes a series is not the single party but the fact that it happens again.
