The Seirenes (2008)

in November 2008 i crawled into the skin of a Seirene, better known as Siren.
this was the first time i ever acted on camera, and the first attempt at editing and color manipulation.
styling and makeup were also done by me.
camera is by Wim Dekker
the hypnotic music of Eric Ericson added its magic later in the editing process.
PS: at the time i did not use any movement effects, this is simply how i move, no slow motion.

story:

THE SEIRENES (or Sirens) were three sea nymphs who lured sailors to their death with a bewitching song. They were formerly handmaidens of the goddess Persephone. When the girl was secretly abducted by Haides, Demeter gave them the bodies of birds, and sent to assist in the search. They eventually gave up and settled on the flowery island of Anthemoessa.

The Seirenes were later encountered by the Argonauts who passed by unharmed with the help of Orpheus, the poet drowing out their music with his song. Odysseus also sailed by, bound tightly to the mast, his men blocking their ears with wax. The Seirenes were so distressed to see a man hear their song and yet escape, that they threw themselves into the sea and drowned.

The Seirenes were depicted as birds with either the heads, or the entire upper bodies, of women. In mosaic art they were depicted with just bird legs.
