LOKI’S GAME | Short Film Editor

 

A fusion of kinetic choreography with narrative storytelling starring Axel Nu and Andrew Lyle-Pinnock. Selected for the British Urban Film Festival in the ‘Arthouse’ category. A Supple Nam/Johan Nayar Film which was also edited by Johan Nayar.

Set in a urban environment, Loki, the God of Mischief, descends to play his games. He manifests himself in a human form during a fight between two men, portrayed by the talented Axel Nu & Andrew Lyle-Pinnock. Loki starts to change the dynamic of the fight from something aggressive to something more surreal. The film explores physical movement in through a unique lens with an equally distinctive soundtrack.

This is the first collaboration between Supple and Johan which is a visceral, visual and sonic experience. Supple has worked with many acts as a choreographer including names such as the Chemical Brothers. He met Johan through a mutual friend and they decided to co-direct a short film together. It fused Supple’s choreography skills with a loosely narratives storyline. Loki’s game is the result.

Original Concept

The film began with a set of visions from Supple Nam which was adapted into a narrative structure by Johan Nayar. This creation of structure occurred both at the conceptual level as well as through the editing process.

On the day of filming we had the brilliant Rory Moles adding smoothness to the shots with his steadicam.
