Peter Rzazewski's Lounge Discussions

http://vimeo.com/48425421 I have long been aware of this 'signature' element in Kubrick's work which he uses to great effect...

There's an amazing TV series in Europe and I was wondering if anyone knows about legality of copying it and reproducing for a USA/Canada market?

We have three shots we need to execute and I'd appreciate your ideas on lighting and framing them. These are static shots, one point perspectives, shown each for a few seconds at most. The charter basically looks down at the thing and then up and over to another character off camera. The shots are flashbacks reminiscing the past: - seated at a kitchen table, looks down at food, tight of food, perhaps tight of face, back to wide w talent looking up and to the side towards off cam character - standing in living room in front of fireplace (1pp), looks down at awkward pants and then up to off cam character - playing a musical instrument poorly These are all shot inside this house. One will be shot single point perspective straight on with the subject standing in front of the fireplace (the table and sofa's will be removed to declutter as much as possible). The other in the other living room straight on with the subject standing at the sofa with the two lamps at either side (again, remove as much as possible to reduce clutter). The third with subject siting at the kitchen table: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/vvq16ej908bnjqu/VGxsc4vFja I was thinking perhaps something with this look: http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/blog_pos... We're struggling with lighting and staging these shots. It's for a quirky commercial. Your suggestions are very much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi! I'm Kim. I've been pursuing acting, dancing and singing all my life. I also ran a non-profit theatre company for 5 years. I am now developing a retreat space just beyond the 5 boroughs of NYC for theatre artists. It get's so crazy and overwhelming in the city, that it's hard to concentrate on the "art" part of theatre arts. It's also pretty difficult to find cheap rehearsal/work space. So, I'm doing this thing. Providing space for artists to collaborate, create and grow. And I'm looking for ideas re: space, residencies and programming. I think it's a good idea. Do you? Tell me what you think!

Just wanted to introduce myself to Stage 32, and begin to learn about each of you. I am a screenwriter and filmmaker from California, graduate of the Pro Series at SU, currently living in Texas (moved here for an advertising creative director job). Just finished first draft of fourth screenplay--I know, they said there would be no math--and preparing to connect the dots. But enough about me. Would love to learn more about you.

I'm new to stage 32 and, although I've shot tons of footage for commercial purposes, nothing fiction based, and I'm itching to do something. But I'm a bit stuck so I'm looking to collaborate with a motivated writer on a screenplay that I would direct into a 5-10 min film. If anyone is interested, please message me. Since this isn't a job, I'm posting here.
