Miracles project
For the Miracles project, I have so far—spanning from 2009 to the present—recorded video from approximately 150 ‘events’ and stored them in an equal number of ‘video libraries’.
Video Archive
The aim of the Miracles Dailies series is to create a single video for each of these libraries—compiling all the raw clips from every ‘take’—to establish a more accessible archive. This makes it easier to review the material and, if desired, share it for use in other productions.
Miracles Dailies #1
Today , with Miracles Dailies #1, the design and format have now been finalized, based on that video library I recently used to create the short film ‘Swing’ (1).
Editorial Proxy with Burn-In Timecode (BITC)

Midnight, May 20, 2011 in Kuttekoven, Belgium. Behind the scenes. Making of documentary film “Transport XX to Auschwitz” . Reconstruction of the scene where Simon Gronowski escapes from the 20th Convoy in the early morning (around 2-3 a.m.) of April 20, 1943 . https://michelvanderburg.com/2013/04/19/transport-xx-to-auschwitz/
Reconstruction of the scene when Transport XX, the 20th Convoy, stops for approximately 15 minutes in the early morning of April 20, 1943, around 1 a.m., at Korbeek-Lo station on Belgian railway line 36 near Leuven, between the villages of Korbeek-Lo and Bierbeek, with the St. Kamillus Institute on the Krijkelberg hill.
This transport, coming from Mechelen and bound for Auschwitz, carries Jewish prisoners in 35 cattle wagons.
This train DA.801 has an estimated length of 400 meters, so that when the locomotive is positioned before the bridge—the bridge over Bierbeek Street—the last wagon stands opposite the St. Kamillus Institute.
