| "Its in this stone... all I need, is to bring it out" Michelangelo Buonarroti (1475 - 1564) |
| Michelangelo's "Its in this stone, I just need to bring it ou" summarizes our approach to filmmaking. It is about drawing on student's imagination, and transforming Mind Image into the language of Cinema. Dancing with Light technique is based on analytical breakdown of mind image into Elements of Cinematic Expression. - Light, Exposure, Lens, Angle, Movement, and Color. Every Film Director knows it... in Cinematic Expression there exists an issue as old as the cinema itself - Issue of Cinematic Eloquence. It can make (if present), or break the Movie (if non existent). Janusz concentrates on elements of Cinematic Expression and decostructs both important aspects of it - Directorial (Camera Direction, Choice of Lens, Choice of Movement), and Technical (Director of Photography - (Light/Lens/Color/Mood/Lighting Style). All in all... once the technique stops being an issue, it all becomes matter of CHOICES that Director and Director of Photography make. Paramount answers to questions of ... WHAT, WHEN, HOW and WHY govern the process of meanigful filmmaking. Anyone aspiring to cross "beyond" in cinematic expression encouraged to consider the Workshop. |
