Trace of Light - A New Zealand Story [Full Documentary | Canon 7D | 2011 | Retrospective]

Retrospective: Trace of Light (German Title: "Spur des Lichts") is a no-budget film that I produced 2011 during my six-month practical semester (film and design studies) in New Zealand using a Canon 7D. A couple of years later, I remastered the film using new Grading Tools (Filmconvert Pro) to improve the filmic look. The film is a journey into the extraordinary work and life of photographer Victoria Proebstel (1962-2018). The daughter of a lighthouse keeper spent her childhood in one of the remotest and most beautiful places in the world: Cape Brett Lighthouse on the North Island of New Zealand.
