Thirst Titan by Jade da Rocha

Élan by Jade da Rocha

The "sapientia" of your soul,

is an attribute of Eros

to let my guards down, my Logos.  

Evolving your desire and mine to a stage

where the fantasy excided to a possession of each other’s heart,

like an "élan" of infinite and insatiable font of passion, love...

Travelers by Jade da Rocha

For all the travelers out there, I can only hope you are all surrounded by good people in a world so manipulative and filled with confusion.

It’s like undomesticated animals encaged in little boxes.

In Brazil, since the culture is so used to this system over and over again, it seemed like they found a way around and still have a great time and laugh at the end of the day.

Unconditional Love by Jade da Rocha

About LOVE, It may change but never ends.

The special bond that was created between

you and me is indestructible.

Our love is unconditional, eternal.

My wish was to stop time

and make time for that moment.

My heart is filled with love,

flying uncertain venues

hoping for a safe landing.

Vilmos Zsigmond- The Master of Light by Jade da Rocha

What is happening in the Industry with Lights - Assignment for Principles of Lighting –  D. B. Pruitt's class at The Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale

In a world that technology is part of our daily basis; the cinematography industry is dueling with low budged economy and the high demand on perfectionism that the filmmakers expect from the cameras and actors.
The vision of Vilmos Zsigmond to create and enhance reality to a scene is the right set of lights creating a mood to give the viewers a chance to experience magic. He makes it look bigger than life. On the other hand he points to documentaries as not necessarily the need of extra lights since the shooting is about reality.
Some filmmakers are so infatuated with the high tech of powerful cameras 
and lenses that doesn’t see the necessity of extra lights turning out to be a poor choice
by  Vilmos Zsigmond as he mention on the article Master of Light by Jon Silberg for the American Cinematographer Magazine:

“ When you light to tell a story, you don’t want to simply duplicate what the eye would see in that situation, you also want to create a feeling.”

Vilmos Zsigmond believe in a poetic perspective with the special effects lights can create to a scene improvising the outcome to the real world. He is someone that works and delivers his production with passion using the principals of light with a pinch of magic and artistic sense.
It is absolute fantastic that we are able to see everything in a monitor during or previous to a shooting and make decisions to what mood you are creating. The LED era and going “green” is a form of support the sustainability of the planet saving energy. 
The changes in the cinematographic world run fast but the principles of light plays a very important roll in a production.
As the instructor Pruitt mentioned: “First you have to learn the rules of Principles of Lighting, and then you can break them.”

Enchantment by Jade da Rocha

The enchantment of our love is not ephemeral coincidence.

It is an intelligible complicity, bonding our passionate soul forever.

It is evident that the waters current is following the rivers course,

with a promise of an enormous delivery of happiness

when Venus pass by the house of scorpion on your birth.
