The brief
We produce regular video content about life in Valašské Meziříčí. Celebrations, sport, markets and reports form a continuing series.
The challenge
Each subject needs its own pace and narrative. Short social formats and an interview-led report require different editing and sound work.
Our approach
We film on location and prepare finished material for the city’s communication. Examples include the May celebration, a market and the château terraces.
The result
The result is an actual series of city videos. The report about the terraces and the Lípa sculpture includes sculptor Oldřich Morys’s interview.
May festival
A short silent film from the May festival in Valašské Meziříčí. Families walk through the park, children ride ponies and visitors enjoy the programme.
Flower market
A short silent film of the flower market in Valašské Meziříčí. Stalls, flowers and visitors fill the square; close-ups of plants alternate with a view of the church tower.
Make room for places and people.
Interview transcript
This project was made possible by
the cultural heritage revitalisation project in Wallachia and Kysuce.
How did you arrive at the idea of Lípa
for this public space below Žerotín Château?
When this château was built, it was connected
by a linden avenue to Helštýn Hill, where a summer house was being built.
When I found that something still remained there,
two lindens — four, only a few years ago —
planted around that summer house,
connecting it not only symbolically,
but also physically and functionally through paths to the château…
I saw the linden and its shape, and felt
that it would make sense to work with that shape.
First I looked for the right technology.
I wanted people to see the shape from another perspective,
and look inside it, so it had to be hollow.
After various consultations, I realised
that 3D concrete printing could do this.
How did you capture the tree’s shape?
Using photogrammetry. I took my phone
and took about 500 photos of the tree,
from a drone and from the ground.
A program then generates a 3D model from those photographs.
We finally have a sculpture in a public space here in Valmez.
Contemporary art. We are grateful for it.
On the lower riverbank, we have this beautiful fragment of the linden.
And here we have a kind of gallery,
where we can look through at our town.
And the beautiful linden is there too.
A report from the château terraces in Valašské Meziříčí. Visitors use the new steps, children draw beside the sculpture and sculptor Oldřich Morys explains how Lípa was created. Close-ups show the hollow trunk and the opening event.
