John Snow House
Grabbed frame from a spot I did about John Snow House
John Snow House is an extension of Calgary’s The New Gallery. TNG houses their archive of books, exhibition catalogues, art periodicals, etc., there, and they open the place up to artists for researching local art history, and to host small moments of culture. John Snow was a banker, and artist print-maker, and somehow the gallery has come to operate out of his house. I was asked last week to shoot and edit a short promotional spot about JSH to assist the gallery in promoting their off-site research centre’s merits. There was just a single day to shoot and edit the thing, challenging since it needed to be coherent and clean, and espouse an art-critical value. The gallery invited an m.u.a. who was great and became gaffer toward the end of the day, his name is Ben Charlton and he wants to work. I think I’m pretty happy with the result, and I’ve heard the TNG board is too, I’ll post a link here when they release it to the world. I’ve got to try to get back there and shoot the wall in the basement where Mr. Snow kept his inks, sweetest eveidence.
