rivals

2005/ 06:00 mins / 16:9 digital video/ New Zealand
Concept/ camera/ actors: Mark Hansen (NZ) and Michiel Mos (NED)
Sound/ editing: Mark Hansen

'Males meet with intent to compete against one another; they use the handshake as an aerial arm wrestle cloaking it as a dignified greeting. Males weed out the undesirables, the unfit, and the weaklings to remain as the alpha male of the herd. But when two males conclude that they are evenly matched, two things can occur. They either join as twin soldiers fighting together in conquest or they become entrenched in bitter rivalry'.

Since 2001, Jacque of Burgundy and Lanske of Liechtenstein have been rivals, competing head to head to resolve this issue of superiority. They have traveled to the barren foothills of New Zealand's Mt Ruapehu to break this deadlock.

This Western/ Sport/ Action video (a hybridization of barely tolerable genres) was inspired by a performance entitled 'Whitianga War Memorial Pe'tanque Match 2005' conducted by Mark Hansen and Michiel Mos.

Whoever you are you just wasted 6 minutes of my precious little life. All I got out of that video is that two guys like to meet up in the desert and play with each other's balls. That didn't make any sense. Explain what's going on and maybe other people will know it isn't worth watching.

That's for the constructive criticism. I will be careful to label my work better in the future as it really bothers me that I am stealing other peoples time. I am curious however that you even spend your 'Precious'time looking at youtube- that's a life worth reflecting on.
