Precedence & Insperation

Precedence:

Matt Daemon and Ben Afflact's "Project Green Light", although the completed films finished at the end of each "Project Green-light" failed at the box office, the documintaion of the process of the production of a feauture lenghth film was the first of its kind.

DaDa and Art deco is a great influence induced into my work.
I have adopted the deconstructive ways of the movement from 1914 into the 1960s, and I am especially interested in the concept of "Anti Art". The emotion and use of shape, line, color, form, and materials form the Art Deco movement from the 1920 and 1930s as I will be taking design cues for set design in the "chosen fallen" project.

Danny Boyle's film "28 Days later" for his use orchestration and utilization of accessible Digital/Audio capturing and editing equipment. I've studied this film frame by frame for it was shot with the same DV camera that I use (Canon XL1). He really pushed the envelope by representing a cinematographic quality after tricking out the DV footage in post production.

Neo's film "Irreversible" for the uniqueness of camera motion to hijack the viewer placing them into the composition and forces one to become the witness in first person to the events that continuously infold.

Documentation, collection of data, and comparative statistics of world events from revolution and war to innovation and peace.



Inspiration:

Joseph Heller's movie adaptation of his novel "Catch 22". The dialogue and composition of the film worked seamlessly.

Early cinema before. The way early cinematographers worked the camera, namely Joan of Arch (1929)

The movie "Irreversible". Phenomenal work with the DV Camera and great direction by the director.

Beat Tekishi, a Japanese actor, director, and writer has always inspired me. It is his ability to take on many roles within the production of a film.

19 century art mostly from the romantic period. The way the oil paints cover the canvas.

Viola's experimental film work.

Orson Wells, "Citizen Kane" Need I say more!

The state at which technology is in at the moment is inspirational. With DV capabilities and nonlinear editing platforms filmographers can edit on the fly and if we do not like the result we can redo the take.
