the best.

strangewood:

Do you always enjoy shooting?
Satyajit Ray: Yes. Every stage of it, and not just the shooting. First, it’s finding a story that excites you. Second, it’s converting the story into the terms of a screenplay. Third, it’s casting, which I do myself. People just come to my house. There’s a knock on the door, and there’s somebody waiting outside with acting ambitions. I usually keep a photograph, name, address, and vital statistics. Eventually, I may send for the person. This has happened many times. Then, of course, there are costume design and the set. I’ll sit down with my art director to decide on the props. For this particular film, The Chess Players, all the props were period ones. All the shawls, the lovely ornamental things the characters wear, some of them have come from museums. But most of the have come from private collections in Calcutta. Then the shooting itself is exciting, despite all the difficulties. Next come the rushes. Most exciting of all is sitting at the Movieola and cutting, which is when the thing comes to life. I do my own music, also. That, too, is exciting.

You really are a filmmaker, then, and not a film director.
Satyajit Ray: I am a filmmaker. It says so on my passport. Auteur!

Off Book: The Art of Film & TV Title Design

The credits are often the first thing we see when we watch a great film or TV show, but the complexity and artistry of title design is rarely discussed. Creators of title sequences are tasked to invent concepts that evoke the core story and themes of the production, and to create a powerful visual experience that pulls the viewer into the film’s world. In this episode we hear the stories of some of the most inventive people working in the field, including the creators of the iconic Mad Men sequence, the hilarious Zombieland opening and “rules” sequences, and the stirring end credits from Blue Valentine.

Featuring:

Peter Frankfurt and Karin Fong, Imaginary Forces
Ben Conrad, Logan
Jim Helton, Blue Valentine
