Photographer and filmmaker Christophe Collette’s “Ce Soir” is a haunting stop motion music vid for the Montreal band Monogrenade.

Channel Frederator: Where did you study animation/film?

Christophe Collette: I did not study animation or film, I studied photography for a bit at Concordia University, in Montreal and at the National School of Photography in Arles, France.

CF: What are your sources of inspiration?

CC: Contemporary photography, films, books, the internet, travelling, friends.

CF: What was the most difficult part of making “Ce Soir”?

CC: Probably finding the right location… Our art budget was really limited, we really needed a fantastic location to make this work… I looked for this house for two weeks, driving the countryside endlessly…

CF: Are you working on anything new you can tell us about?

CC: I DPed a fantastic promo for Most Serene Republic with director and friend Ben Steiger Levine. You should keep an eye out for it, I think it will be amazing.

Thanks for the interview, Christophe!
