Ward Adriaens (Mechelen, Belgium) passed away suddenly on the evening of November 15th, 2024. A wonderful man, a freethinker, author, with a passion for living history, especially the resistance, partisans, in World War II, and the founding director in 1995 of the Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance (JMDR) that opened its doors in 1996. In 2012 the JMDR became the Kazerne Dossin museum, with Ward Adriaens as honorary curator. In 2005 Ward Adriaens launched the Give Them a Face archival project. The portraits of all Jewish, Roma and Sinti deportees which passed through the SS-Sammellager Mecheln (Dossin barracks, transit camp, Mechelen) in 1942-1944, were scanned to create the “Give Them a Face” portrait collection. All around 20,000 photos in the Give Them a Face portrait collection are now part of the commemoration wall – a permanent exhibition – at the Kazerne Dossin museum.
In 2009 , I first encountered the Transport XX installation in Brussels, and met Ward Adriaens’ team of the Give Them a Face project in the Jewish Museum of Deportation and Resistance in Mechelen, Belgium (1,2).
Next , Ward Adriaens participated in our 2012 documentary Transport XX to Auschwitz (3).
Recently, May 2024, Ward Adriaens’ opening speech at the TRANSPORT XX installation in Mechelen in 2007, was posted in the ‘Miracles’ project at Miracles•Media (4).
Quote
“…Let us clearly understand that this is the fundamental basis of racism: persecuted because we have a mother. We all have parents and many amongst us have children. In order to protect them it is essential that we do not give an inch to racism. Everyone of us will come under threat should the policy makers be influenced by racism…”

Rattling leaves on a windy day, today in the Green Heart of Holland.
ProRes HDR recording, with wireless stereo sound using Røde wireless GO II on iPhone 16 Pro, filming with the Main (wide) camera, switching automatically to macro mode with the Ultra Wide camera. The Røde transmitter mics have the default furry windscreen mounted, and are packed in furry windscreen bags … hanging next to each other in this tree … as shown briefly towards the end of this 1 minute clip at around 47 seconds on the timeline.

Short film of highland cattle , on a pretty windy grey day, today in the Green Heart of Holland.
Focusing on ProRes HDR recording on iPhone 16 Pro , and also a first test recording wireless externally stereo audio using the Røde wireless GO II system.
I previously researched stereo recording with the Røde wireless ME system, with no success (not published).
Video shot in HDR-HLG 4K 25p Apple ProRes HQ format with main camera at 2x setting of the iPhone 16 Pro Max and stored internally.
Edited with Final Cut Pro (FCP) 10.8.1 in a ProRes HQ – 4K 25p HDR project (Wide Gamut HDR – Rec. 2020 HLG). No color grading. Some of the clips cropped.
Audio externally recorded with Røde wireless GO II, using 2 layers of furry windscreen. Overall gain +24 dB in FCP, and next lower frequencies reduced. Upload (HEVC) 4K at YouTube, HD at Vimeo.
I also examined again the landscape today, that I filmed 2 days ago (also a grey day) in HDR-HLG , especially the colors of the grass, and concluded that the iPhone’s ProRes HDR (wide gamut HLG) footage best represents the actual colors , both when processed in HDR and in SDR color space — as compared with the Apple Log footage as processed in SDR color space, and uploaded yesterday.
