The Making of Pangaea
A Short Film by Livesay Ether Studios
A look into how Pangaea came to be from concept to completion. Comprised of fiberglass and composite acrylic, Pangaea is designed to stand out as a true centerpiece in any given space. In one instance, Pangaea’s greatest single surface is created when the side tables are nested into the main table, and in another instance, Pangaea has the ability to inhabit an entire area as the side tables drift away from the main table and settle into new places within the space. Inspired by the abstract forms and barren voids found in surrealism, Pangaea is the embodiment of these forms brought to life as a low coffee table. The table is available exclusively through the Wexler Gallery of Philadelphia and on 1stdibs.com.
About the Shoot
This is also the first proper video the studio ever self-produced, so it’s far from perfect. But film making/videography/story telling is something I’ve always wanted to explore in-depth. Filming took place over two years inline with the production of the very first piece itself. The majority of shooting took place in Lancaster County, PA. (Where the studio is based out of) as well as Philadelphia, Providence, and regions of upstate New York. Equipment included a DJI Mavic Drone for the opening shot, and a Nikon D3300 / Rode shotgun mic for all other scenes. Music was composed, mixed, and produced by Benjamin Pawlak using Logic software at the Juilliard School of Music.
