Light + Mathematics is the work of Peter Szewczyk. Since the start of his film career at George Lucas' famed Skywalker Ranch, Peter Szewczyk has had a front row seat to the crafting of Hollywood blockbusters by the modern masters of cinema. Sitting through what Szewczyk calls “a decade of dailies” with the likes of James Cameron, Andrew Stanton, Andrew Adamson, and George Lucas, he studied intensely, each director's approach to storytelling. Szewczyk contributed as an artist, animator, designer, and technician to the legendary franchises of Harry Potter, Shrek, Star Wars and Ice Age, but it was not until his time on James Cameron's “Avatar” that Szewczyk felt he was ready to leave the trenches of digital production, for the challenges of directing.

"Blueprint for Truth" is a documentary purporting to "prove" that the WTC towers were brought down by controlled demolitions. Made by Richard Gage, an architect responsible for a number of fireproof steel-framed buildings, it is better than most other 9/11 conspiracy documentaries, though many of the structural engineers and architects present at the screening I attended countered its better points with equally solid rebuttals. Short of someone constructing scale models of the towers and re-staging the calamity several times under test conditions, uncertainties are unlikely to be fully resolved. "Blueprint" goes off on several interesting tangents. Assuming controlled demolitions brought the towers down, it says, one would only need to place charges along the central spine of the building.

But producing a script isn't an easy endeavor. Script creation is a task that requires lots of time, work and planning. In fact, planning is probably the heart and soul of the production. The proper planning and legwork must be accomplished or even the best script will fall flat on its face.

Pre-Production Planning:Three Easy Approaches to Creating a Video Treatment that Works for You
Many video producers carry a video treatment in their head, ideal for maintaining control but the most difficult method for sharing or explaining their vision with others. Even if you are the producer, the shooter, the editor, the distributor and marketing director, taking the time to generate a video treatment will help you present a clearer idea to others and help you stay on track when the time comes to make your production happen. Focus! Focus!
Y ou've tried all the tech basics of getting that elusive "film look:" shooting 24 fps, adding grain, using an `S' curve gamma, even adding a tiny bit of dust and scratches. But your project still lacks that certain "something," that "big-budget feature" look. It's easy to focus on the "film" part of film making, but a lot of the differences between the look of video vs. film are not in the actual media. They're in the techniques and tools used to acquire the content. When telling your story, the goal isn't to make something that looks like "a film," but to completely involve the audience in a different world.
