THE CHASE IN THE GHOST TRAIN

182 seconds | 1920 x 1080 | Hugo Ramirez | 11/23/2021
Hugo Ramirez was deeply influenced by the VHS culture of video clubs of the late 80's. It is in this logic that he wrote this hybrid film between short film and music clip
for composer Yann Kornowicz and his song The Chase of the Ghost Train, part of the album Chaos in Châtelet, the trailer for a fake film staging a supernatural disaster in the Paris metro.

This film is a symbolic of the phenomenon of imminent death, a hallucinatory journey of a disappearing person carried away by psychopomps.

For this clip, he further pushed the concept by proposing a triple technique. That is, a filming in the subway with actors, after making the complete editing, he filmed an actor to double the monsters and then called on traditional animation to create the monsters to integrate them into the shot shots. Once the animatic sequence was completed, with the help of his team, the film was completely redrawn picture by image on paper in Chinese ink. This gives a unique and authentic result of a spontaneous and vibrant drawing on paper.
It is a bit of a tribute to the genre films of his childhood produced by their director.

Hugo Ramirez was deeply influenced by the VHS culture of video clubs of the late 80s. It is in this logic that he wrote this hybrid piece between short film and music video
for the artist-composer Yann Kornowicz and his piece Chase of the Ghost Train, part of the album Chaos in Châtelet, the soundtrack for a fake feature film featuring a supernatural catastrophe in the Paris subway.

This film is a symbol of the phenomenon of imminent death, a hallucinatory journey of a person who disappears brought away by the psychopomps.

For this clip, he further pushed the concept by proposing a triple technique. That is to say a shooting in the subway with actors, after having done the complete editing, he filmed a comedian to double the monsters then appealed to the traditional animation to create the monsters to integrate them into the shots. Once the animated sequence was over, with the help of his team, the film was entirely redrawn image by image on India ink paper. This gives a unique and authentic result of a spontaneous and vibrant drawing on paper.
It's a bit of a homage to the genre films of his childhood produced by craftsmen and worn by their director.
