WHO CAN DIRECT

Directors come in all human types-tall, fair, short, dark, introvert, extrovert, loquacious, taciturn, male, female, gay, straight. Today anyone with sometthing to say and access to modest production equipment can direct a movie of some kind.

The best way to prove your capacity is to just do it. A director should get knowledge of all the production processes the he\she most likely to oversee. A director should need to know writing, acting, camerawork, sound, and editing. He\she should me a tough-minded leader.He\she should be ready to function even when feeling isolated.He\she should make much from little.

Directing means bringing together people of very different skills and mentality. A good director knows how to keep demanding more from the cast and crew while making each person feel special and valuable to the whole.

BLUE / GREEN -MAGIC

With the huge developments in the filmmaking technologies,movies have become even better,bringing their audiences into the world not feasible in reality.

Blue/green screen technology is one such technologies which made imagination into reality.

The actors are filmed in front of pure blue or green screen and then these clips are transformed to computer where the blue or green color is removed and the clip is made transparent which can be replaced by different locations or place needed.Only blue or green(baby green )is used because,these colors are considered to be the furthest away from human skin tone.

This technology is also know as CHROMA KEYING.

This process can transport actors anywhere in the world ,or out of the world ,without leaving the studio.It can take us to prehistoric stage or into far future.

This technology was developed in 1930 at RKO Radio Picture by LAWRENCE W.BUTLER and used for the first time in the movie THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (1940).

300 was shot almost against blue screen.

WHEN IT HAPPEND...!!!

The history of cinema began over 100 years ago.The first motion camera was invented by a Frenchman LOUISE LUMIERE in 1895.

He was the first filmmaker who started filmmaking.He use to shoot a concept in the morning ,edit it in the afternoon,show it to all in the evening.

The American THOMAS ALVA EDISON was a competitor of LUMIERE. But as with bulb he coud't gain his name in the invention or development of camera because ,his camera was bulky where as Lumiere camera was portable and the marketing people supported Lumiere's product.

So many very shoot flicks where made by Lumiere.The first motion movie ever made on earth was ....

THE ARRIVAL OF THE EXPRESS TRAIN AT CIATAT,then followed by some other films like People leaving a factory,Parents feeding a baby,People enjoying picnic along a river.....

This was the start of SILENT ERA of our great film world.

3D MAGIC BOX

James Cameron waited for 15 long years before starting the filming of AVATAR , because of the lack of technology which matches his vision.

The technology which made Cameron to wait for 15 long years is the STEREOSCOPIC 3D CAMERA.

The S3DC acts exactly like our eyes.

It has 2 camera system built in a single block as our eyes in the same single head.It works nothing but like a human machine.

Both the cameras will work by adjusting the lenses seperating the background and foreground to look like a 3D motion image which is impossible with the ordinary cameras. When the image is moving infront of camera one lens moves automatically focusing the moving images and the other focusing on different objects or subjects at different distances.

This is the technology co-developed by James Cameron for his dream project AVATAR.

But this is not for the first time that filmaker's dream has led to a new era in camera.

George Lucas's dream for STAR WARS which became the forefront of special effects for decades.

And also we have to wow those magic minds who made the DINOSOURS come live in JURASSIC PARK.

As film lovers we can't compare their contribution with anything in the universe.

Thank you master minds for this great knowledge given by you, which we develop for the generation next......!!!!!

LIGHT FROM BALLOONS

The lighting system in movie making has took so many turns from black and white to present colors. BALLOON LIGHTING is the present day's new technology which is setting up new examples for the development of using science in film making.

BALLOON LIGHTING

These balloon lights are designed to be usable for even-lighting throughout the shooting area without any lighting disturbances both in the in-doors and the out-doors.

These make the 360 deg panning shots look more beautiful without any lighting disturbances.

Lighting can be done for large areas using single balloon.

These balloons are quick to set up.They are very useful while shooting on Blue Mat so that the shadows on Blue Mat can be avoided.

Balloon Lighting technology was invented in the year 1920 by a German , but used for the first time in films by JAMES CAMERON for TITANIC. Many master pieces like AVATAR, PIRATES OF CARRIBBEAN, FAST AND FURIOUS e.t.c., followed.

In Tollywood these balloon lights were used now-a-days like VARUDU,NENU MEEKU THELUSA, 3....

LET US USE THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY OF SCIENCE IN FILM MAKING........................................
