| In order for the Cinematic Sequence to relate to the emotional content of Scene, it's design needs to be of Organic Nature. This can be achieved only when elements chosen are of homogeneous quality and psychologically motivated. One wrong choice causes effect similar to that of false tune in music. Dancing with Light technique addresses Artistic and Technical aspects of Choices, Cinematographer and Director make in the process of Visual Expression. As an expanded into motion picture, color and lighting application of Ansel Adam's Zone System of Exposure and Theory of Previsualization it is an imperative step in translating envisioned Moods and/or States of Mind of Character into language of Film and Video. Dancing with Light Technique is a systematic and logical approach to realization of creative process of visual expression and, as such an invaluable tool for Directors and Directors of Photography in their pursuit of selfexpression (is it not that the Narrative is only a pretext) ?. Mind Image is deconstructed into Elements of Cinematic Expression and captured on Film/Video as its exact physical reflection. Janusz designed Dancing with Light Technique and teaches it at DreamWorks and University of Southern California.
