HD EXHIBITION and WEB VIDEO: 'Vermeer: In the Light of Delft'

Client: National Gallery of Art, Washington
Conceptualization / Production / Direction / Editing

Conceptualization and production of a video for in-gallery exhibition exploring Vermeer’s relationship with light.  Sandpail's lead producer, Pamela Glintenkamp, was one of only four filmmakers chosen to produce short evocative films for an innovative series 'Focus on Four Masterworks'.  Each filmmaker was asked to produce a program without words, which would inspire further inquiry into a particular painting. 

The film was shot entirely on location in Delft, The Netherlands.  It was presented in the Gallery’s theater, on the Gallery’s website and is now part of the Gallery’s video library on artbabble.org.  You can view the film below.

The client says: "We had a limited budget and timescale for the production of the video with Anna Moore.  Pamela managed the project with immense professionalism and ingenuity.  The video was very well received by the Network’s professional membership and my National Portrait Gallery colleagues.   On the strength of this excellent work, I engaged Pamela for a larger project, to focus on the outputs of our four Research Fellows. 
 
For both projects, Pamela was consistently proactive in applying her broad creative experience in meeting our needs.  Pamela’s professionalism ensured that our (sometimes first-time) interviewees were put at ease before and during the filming,  As I’ve also worked with other filmmakers for our media requirements, I know that such levels of experience, commitment to a project through all its stages, and quality of work are not to be taken for granted
