The video I made for the song Up Your Sleeve by Companion Songs uses archival fragments from the early years of cinema. These early moving-image experiments—once showcasing tricks, illusions, and visual marvels through special effects and editing as magic—are re-edited into a contemporary rhythmic form. By reframing these historical traces, the video revives the sense of wonder, spectacle, playfulness and visual mischief that marked the youthful phase of cinema.
