La Stagione (Dentro o Tra?)

Roses blooming and blossom, persimmon still yellow, colors and lights in between. Last year was Autumn. Now…I don’t know.

Rosas nascendo e nascidas, caqui ainda amarelo, cores e luzes “entre”. Ano passado era outono. Agora…não sei.

Rose nate e nascendo, i caqui ancora gialli, colori e luci “tra”. L’anno scorso era autunno. Adesso…non so.

Soundtrack: Piazzola - Cité Tango

Se ne andò in primavera: sentì ancora tutta la freschezza della nuova stagione. Quando é ritornata per i suoi ultimi giorni a casa, la sua piscina era vuota ed le sue rose iniziavano a fiorire. Quando se ne é andata, le sue rose erano rigogliose e la sua piscina blu….ma lei non le vide mai più con i suoi stessi occhi.

She went away in Spring; still got all the freshness of the new season. When she came home for her last days her pool was empty and her roses started to bloom. When she was gone her roses were in their fullness and her pool blue…but she never saw it again with her own eyes.

This movie has a strange story. I was responsible for the casting and had to find 3 African Americans, 3 blonds, and 3 brunettes to star in this movies for a great jeans company, naked from the hip up…had to find 6 boys to match them but that was easy!

After I did it and arrived at the stage, my head and eyes turned upside down. The cinematographer was late, so, I did his job. When he arrived he used everything I had planned without a word.

I know it’s an old job, but Ademir sen it to me on a day I was….loosing it.

Thank you my friend.

On a Wednesday  they ask me to find, for a Faber Castell movie, 5 boys that had to grow up and resemble one another! Well…deadline was Monday. In 48 hours I did my job, asking myself even today HOW I did it…

Ademir, editing, was astouned! Always Fathom Filmes.

Ademir editing, me just casting…

MEDIA EFFECTS ON DEPRESSIVE SUBJECTS For communication based on neuroethics

A long time ago we looked at a tree. We heard the wind passing through its branches, we felt the different textures in the touch of it, and we smelled the wood’s aroma. We looked at the tonalities, the colors of leaves changing with the moving sun, its shade sliding into different places.

Today we don’t look at the tree anymore, but to an image of it. Through analogical or digital filters, now the tree is inside our house confined in a box. If we try to touch it we feel the cold glass of a TV set. The wind’s sound arrives stereo, and we can increase or decrease it. Its aroma will be that of the moment, perhaps of an environment deodorant, perhaps of the kitchen’s food. We will choose the intensity of colors from the remote control.

We have become small gods playing with nature. We don’t see, hear or feel reality any more, but an image of it.

PHASES AND CONSTRUCTION FOR THE RESEARCH

We start from the premise that to understand the effects of image, sounds and smells in the human being, we have to build parallel horizontal time-lines divided in generations, to be analyzed vertically:

a) The construction of communication filters from pre history up to our days

b) The use of pharmacology, from herbal to actual chemistry, food, drinks and drug use, the discoveries of medicine

c) The social behavior

The construction of these time-lines will allow us to verify the effect and the cause of various media types, their content, colors, forms, shapes and sounds, so that we can build a new integrated communication with science, based on objective ethics and not more subjective ones.

Ex: A form of filter, the journalism. [Part of a)]

Did hieroglyphs scribes, journalists of an era, told us through their points of view facts of life or their imaginary view of it? We will never know using old analytical tools. Only through the analysis of their drown symbols left by them we can deduce the solidity of content. ———–
