Theme, as you perfactly know, is rather technicaly (because of the night, very dark) deficult to realize... but it was much more fun to manage to do it.
Next year, I'm sure, I will try once more to catch some picture.... it depence of the weather, or maybe new way of showing them.
Daniel
Dearest Friend
to me, it was especially interesting way of presenting the shadows of people where passing by more quickly than in fact.but the candle's lights, the main subject of the film, the symbolic memory were standing still. Just like in real life....
Please tell me, how do You like the sight of my little garden....."Red Autumn" and "Magic Garden".
With our best wishes...
Anna

Dear Anna,

On technical grounds alone, this kind of video is beyond the reach of all but a few. Daniel is truly gifted. And you are right about the stillness of the candles and the motion of the people. Nowhere, I think, is that more effective than in the sequence that begins at about 2:41 with the lone old man appearing and then disappearing in the stillness of the cemetery, followed by a scene of the people rushing by the motionless candles standing vigil.

I watched the videos of your little garden twice, mostly so I could see again how, in "Red Garden," Daniel had made it, with his selection of shapes, such a sensuous, feminine place--a woman! You must spend many happy hours there.

Warm regards to both of you,

Ray

....pewnie do muzyki mógłbym podejść klasycznie i spełnić oczekiwania i relacje nawykowe większości....:))
no ale...... to już było........a próbowanie to przygoda ....:))
Przed nami pół roku ćmoku....... trzeba to przetrwać...:))...taki klimat się nam trafił.
Pozdrowienia

I’m always curious to discover what Daniel will do with music in his productions. Conventional wisdom says that happy scenes require happy music, sad scenes need sad music, and so forth—Hollywood has always done well with that approach. The real task for movie-makers, though, is to use sound and music to add another dimension to a film and not always simply to reinforce what one already sees. As I watched this present clip of Daniel’s about remembering the dead, I could imagine that I was not hearing the music we, the living, hear, but their music, the music they hear. I suspect Daniel did not intend that, but by rejecting the conventional approach to music that accompanies films, he allowed the viewer to exercise creative imagination.

Ha! Thank you:) I might note too the details. But all the work I like! I am very sensitive when it comes to music. Some scenes are well cut, only the musical transitions are either too early or too late. Sorry, my honesty, that's why Daniel respected me! I hope at least ... Thanks for your opinion! In general I like his music, but I can not keep my mouth if it is defective;)) Daniel is a great artist, I'll never deny, but he's no musician. Maybe you can help him, instead of praising everything? Friends are there! Greetings and all the best for you! Zofia:)

Nie mialam tego na mysli, twojej muzyki nie mozna z kalsyka porownac. Moich oczekiwan nie musisz spelniac... Twoja muzyka jest oryginaln, jedyna w swoim rodzaju! Mam na mysli przejscia poszczegolnych scen, niezbyt dokladnie dopracowane. Albo za wczesnie, albo za pozno. To przeszkadza, jesli ogladam do tego film. Sorry, to moje zdanie!;))

What a fine comment, Zofia. Your point about timing is well-taken. (I should have known better--my comments were in fact directed at earlier comments to the effect that the music itself was entirely inappropriate, not at yours.)

I'm not competent to instruct Daniel about music. And, yes, I praise him inordinately, I suppose, but he's good, simply good. I watch his work to learn.

As to your own work, you know well that I admire it. In fact, I think, there has been nothing lately. Can we expect more? In any event. it was good to hear from you, even if it was--quite appropriately--to put me in my place. Best to you, Zofia.

Affter all those words of warmth in your commentary, today while I was riding my bicycle, during one hour yourney, I can't help wandering.... what should I... , to keep, most of all, to be close to the simple truth of the ancient artists, contouring thairs hands inside the caves,
where they lived....moving forward my own ideas, at the same time.....in spite of my own limitations.......

Ray !!!
Thanks for all...
