    The finale: one looks at the camera, the street behind. Ten seconds have assembled a scene that in live production needs actors, costume, make-up and a closed street.

Tolstoy and Dostoevsky in Jerusalem: two recognisable nineteenth-century figures on a modern street. A Paradox in-house clip for film: historical reconstruction in live production means costume, make-up, actors and permits to shoot in a city.

The clip is built on recognition: the viewer does not immediately realise these are the classics of Russian literature, and once they do, they watch to the end. Moving well-known figures into another time and place works for book promotion, for cultural projects and for city tourism alike. Filming this for real would mean makeup, costumes, actors and a shoot in Israel.
