Misc Pro is an evolving multifaceted art practice that has chosen to engage with the history of the lens and use the semblance of a production company to facilitate creativity and interconnected disciplines. The most constant outcome of Misc Pro is the application of furniture-making techniques and woodworking practices to the fabrication of bespoke and alternative film equipment; such as a body harness made from recycled wood and MDF, a guitar tripod for the flamboyant rock star or a compactable animation rostrum and dismantlable camera dolly, both of which demonstrate joinery principles. These and other devices are employed in movie and animation lessons, enhancing the filming and animating processes when the equipments are not normally accessible. Misc Pro also functions as a filmmaking entity, which uses the equipment it builds and applies the lessons it teaches, exploring collective community practices and producing artists’ documentaries, comedies and wildlife films. | ||
