The art of visual story telling,
Like all disciplines, cinematography is build on principles with concrete understanding. Time to start talking.
Cinema is a language with rules which equals how we speak to each other.

Did some blind casting that will send you asking questions.

Dear Friends/Family
Life keeps giving us reasons to ask questions that do not have answers….SAD 😢😭
We recognize pedagogical experiences because we have received the attentive care and worries of a mother, a father, a teacher, a grandparent, or some other adult who at various times played a formative part in our young lives. Without the pedagogical support from these adults, we simply could not and would not be alive today, or, for better or worse, we would not be who we are.
Hence the quest for a right team. “Team players”
You had all the potential every filmmaker will want, all you needed was the ethics of the game. Your attention to details is unmatched . (Was 😭😭). And we where on this already why do this to us ? The vacuum is too much.
I will personally miss you Boi.
….😭😭😭

Physical strength is good but what makes it enough is intelligence.
Our hero has all this combined.
So it takes some long time experience and courage to seat before him to ask questions…

L’AXE LOURD (the KEY)
This last week end has been a tough and memorable one for me as it was juiced up by L’AXE LOURD screening. Work almost stopped me from making it to this second premiere. Supper happy I never gave up.
For the illusion to be actual, smooth and acceptable to human eye as an image, all the major components which makes this possible has to be harmoniously appealing and why not universally acceptable.
Directions, actors, appropriate use of glass, lighting, location, the C’s of cinematography, Sets, props , Sound, Special effects, voice overs, post production and scoring.
All these was applied in this work of arts. Supper beautiful I must admit.
The producer and the Director have proven they knew what they needed and went for it.
Fantastic job to the Entire team.
I remember vividly how a scenes was a turn off immediately I recognized one of the probs which was an equipment on set. This is to say for us to stand out we have to be conscious of our viewers as filmmakers. Pay attention to every details. The big studios will come knocking, and Oscars will be our home which I see L’AXE LOURD securing a seat already.
Film makers in the country need to seat up with regards to publicity. We ain’t making used of our bloggers and this is not helping us in any way. The Government don’t want us to enjoy what they are enjoying, let’s not deprive our selves of this luxury that we can give us.
Let’s recognize they sector, make it happen for them and so also shall we grow.
L’AXE LOURD team is yet to do this.
Happy working week Fam….
The journey is long let me hit the road…

The story could be the greatest in the world but if the lighting is poor viewers will assume it’s amateurish and not take it seriously…

Script break down to determine the mechanics to be used, types of light, power and extension cords.
This, the Cinematographer must know.
