Oof// Producer – Director – DJ
Cinemix, a new audiovisual approach
It all begun in 2003 when Frederic Elalouf (aka Oof) was asked by Universal Jazz to do the executive production for the Cinemix® album: remixes of the most famous French soundtracks of the 60’s. To promote this CD he created an unexpected performance. New in its genre, this uncommon work is about mixing image and sound, gathering hundreds of synchronized sequences from movies, music videos and concerts. We know about “DJing”. Now in a world full of sound and images, we can see “DVJing” emerging. Oof has launched this movement in France. He immerses himself in this audiovisual melting pot and conceives the Cinemix in an artistic and thematic way.
Frustrated not to find video sequences of his favourite film soundtracks, Oof transforms the movies into music videos. He has directed over 30 of them up to now with various editors. It’s a work of synchronisation, which condenses the remix. He reinterprets and adapt existing works (found footage), where the script becomes modified with humour, giving a modern feel. Oof tries to raise the sound to the level of the image and balance them. These videos are then ready to leave the projection room to be played in a club, venue, museum, lounge in Tokyo or Melbourne, from the Montreux or Cannes festivals, about 200 gigs worldwide.
Recently he made an official tribute to the musician François de Roubaix (the French “Ennio Morricone”), directing five music videos for the 30th celebration of his death. In 2006, The National Film Board of Canada (NFB) asked Frederic Elalouf to carry out an audio-visual show at the Pompidou Center in Paris, using the film works of the most famous Canadian film-maker: the genius Norman McLaren (1914-1987). He built an uncommon work based on invention, research & humanism. Countless people acknowledged the influence of McLaren, from the famous director and producer George Lucas to Pablo Picasso and François Truffaut. A dozen videos have been produced for the McLaren Cineclip show.The whole Cinemix phenomenon becomes a bridge between people of different generations and acts against the loss of the greatest cultural moments of the past, whilst also fulfilling a desire to educate people about the music and the French language in these films.
