Dutch Indies Video
Huib J. Lirb • Videographer, Documentary Filmmaker & Digital Storyteller
Dutch Indies conceive, plan, produce, shoot, edit and finish videos. We accomplish this either in close collaboration with specialist colleagues or simply by ourselves, depending, obviously, on the complexity and scale of the project at hand. In a wider sense we also perform as digital storytellers, whenever this is required, as when our work is embedded into more complex narratives which run across any combination of media (i.e. video, photography, music, the spoken and the written word). Our past work has been delivered to viewers through a variety of "channels" or media, including television, DVD, CD-Rom, tape, beamer-screens and the internet.
Dutch Indies are Huib J. Lirb, Feliz Coll and "their merry band of mercenaries". We draw on the talents and skills of a flexible group of accomplished video professionals, our fellow "indies", a range of friends and colleagues who share a wide experience in television, business-to-business and business-to-consumer communications, event videos and commercials. We can make a big noise or a gentle whisper. Whatever fits the occasion.

Teaser. These images were shot "ad lib" in Venice in 2012. It however turned out to be an unintentional preview of professional work (both video and audio) which I would subsequently do in October 2014, for a forthcoming music special on the Venetian-born artist Giada Valenti, with Jim Masters. I will have occasion to publish more on that project after the first airings of the actual show by PBS.
The music is my own, except of course for the soundbite of the gondola singer as part of the "setnoise" which has been mixed in.

An example of our work at Dutch Indies Video. This film is part of a projected series called "Celebrating 400 Years of the Amsterdam Canal Rings District, Unesco World Heritage Site". It was shown repeatedly at the 3rd International Elm Conference, "The elms after 100 years of Dutch elm disease", which was held in Florence, Italy, October 9-11th 2013, at the initiative of representatives of the Physical Planning Department (Dienst Ruimtelijke Ordening) of the City of Amsterdam.

*) The name "Dutch Indies"originally referred to a modest network of independent videomakers ("indies") from which I drew my team-mates in accordance to the requirements of any job. Today, I tend to work alone and on occasion also with my wife.
