Plus Camerimage: Keanu Reeves and the Filmmakers of Side By Side
Posted: at 6:44 am
Poland's annual cinematography festival, Plus Camerimage, is currently celebrating its 20th year and ComingSoon.net is on location all this week covering from the city of Bydgoszcz. Today, we're bringing you a special interview with actor Keanu Reeves, the host of the recent documentary Side By Side. Along with by director, Chris Kenneally and cinematographer Chris Cassidy, Reeves discusses the trio's look at the changing landscape of filmmaking and the pros and cons of entering an increasingly digital world.
Begun at Camerimage two years ago, Side By Side boasts interviews with filmmakers like James Cameron, David Fincher, George Lucas, David Lynch, Christopher Nolan, Martin Scorsese, Danny Boyle and many more.
Reeves, a budding director himself, also talks a bit about his debut project, Man of Thai Chi, which recently completed production in China. Check out the full interview below and check back throughout the week for more from Camerimage.
Q: Keanu, coming off of "Side By Side" and its discussion about celluloid versus digital filmmaking and going into your directorial debut, which format did you choose to go with? Keanu Reeves: Yeah, I ended up shooting a film called "Man of Thai Chi," which I directed and acted in. We used the ARRI Studio camera with hot lenses. Early days, from the producer side of it, we were looking to shoot digitally because we were in mainland China and Hong Kong. They felt that, in terms of cost and QC and everything that we should look into digital. I went in to look into digital with the cinematographer, Elliot Davis, and with this camera, the ARRI camera and with the hot lenses, we came to a look that we thought would be really great for the film.
Q: Do you find that the role of the cinematographer is evolving with the increase in digital technology? Reeves: Yeah, I think that the role of the cinematographer has already evolved in terms of how they have to manage their image. Chris, do you want to talk at all about this?
Chris Cassidy: Yeah. With digital, the power of the cinematographer or DP has shifted a little bit. They used to be the only person on the set who knew exactly what image they were going to capture on film. Now, with digital, you're able to monitor very closely what you're shooting and you can see it while you're shooting it and everyone else on the set can see it while you're shooting it. Also, after the image goes into post-production, there's more ways to manipulate it and more people that can get involved and have a say in it. The DP has to really get in there and make sure they're involved all the way down the whole length of the image chain.
Reeves: But that may mean the end of the cinematographer.
Cassidy: It seems like there will, hopefully, always be someone involved in that role to care and be concerned about the image.
Reeves: It's about knowing what image you are capturing. They kind of bring in the history, the take and the aesthetic as well.
Cassidy: Yeah, it's one of those jobs that is very technical as well as artistic. I think that's really what interested us a lot about this subject. It's where those two worlds meet. These are the digital artists. These cinematographers are the Da Vincis and Michelangelos of our modern day. It's having someone able to reach over their shoulder and say, "Hey, change the color of that painting." That's what's kind of dangerous about what's going on now. Hopefully that's not what's going to happen.

This Mudra is connected to the Manipura or Solar Plexus Chakra. The audio frequencies and colors in this video are for meditating and tuning the Manipura or the Solar Plexus Chakra.

Yoga Essential Part 16
Yoga (Sanskrit, P #257;li: #2351; #2379; #2327;, / #712;j #601; #650; #609; #601;/, yoga) is a commonly known generic term for physical, mental, and spiritual disciplines which originated in ancient India.[1][2] Specifically, yoga is one of the six #257;stika ("orthodox") schools of Hindu philosophy. It is based on the Yoga S #363;tras of Patajali. Various traditions of yoga are found in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.[3][4][5] Pre--philosophical speculations and diverse ascetic practices of first millennium BCE were systematized into a formal philosophy in early centuries CE by the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.[6] By the turn of the first millennium, Hatha yoga emerged as a prominent tradition of yoga distinct from the Patanjali #39;s Yoga Sutras. While the Yoga Sutras focus on discipline of the mind, Hatha yoga concentrates on health and purity of the body.[7] Hindu monks, beginning with Swami Vivekananda, brought yoga to the West in the late 19th century. In the 1980s, yoga became popular as a physical system of health exercises across the Western world. Many studies have tried to determine the effectiveness of yoga as a complementary intervention for cancer, schizophrenia, asthma and heart patients. In a national survey, long-term yoga practitioners in the United States reported musculo--skeletal and mental health improvements. In Hindu philosophy, yoga is the name of one of the six orthodox (which accept the testimony of Vedas) philosophical schools[69][70] founded by Patanjali.

Deanna Oppenheimer on Leadership of 21st Century
Deanna Oppenheimer was speaking at Women #39;s Business Exchange (wbex.org) in Seattle November 8th, 2012. She talked about a vacuum of leadership and how more accountability is needed in the business world. She mentioned that metaphysical has entered into the lives of many business leaders in forms of yoga etc. She quotes Daniel Pink on how the new leadership is about design, storytelling, empathy and other skills that bring out the other-centeredness of powerful leadership. The old school of leading by commanding and being combative is over. Creativity and intuition is in.From:Kristiina HiukkaViews:2 0ratingsTime:03:43More inNonprofits Activism
