| In order for the Cinematic Sequence to relate to the Emotional and/or Intellectual content of a Scene, the design of It needs to be of Organic Nature. This can only be achieved when the elements chosen are psychologically motivated and of homogeneous quality. One wrongly chosen element causes an effect similar to that of a false tune in music. Dancing with Light technique addresses Artistic and Technical aspects of Cinematic Expression. It is an expanded into Motion and Color application of Ansel Adam's Theory of Zone System of Exposure and Previsualization. Ability to Imagine and Zone System of Exposure are at the basis of Dancing with Light Technique... an imperative element in translating previsualized Values of Grey into the language of Cinema. |
| Dancing with Lightt is a systematic and logical approach to realization of creative process, 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 physical reflection. Just because there is a Dolly at your disposal does not mean your visual expression needs to be of "Dolly Rodeo" quality. Janusz designed Dancing with Light Technique and teaches it at University of Southern California and Dreamworks. |
