Intelligence must draw on memory. The mind must not simply compile data — as an algorithm now does more quickly than we can — but recall lived experiences, which contain depths of meaning that only the human soul can recognize, and connect more deeply with the goodness of these experiences. Everything that is good begins “with the Spirit” and thus possesses a breath, a dynamism and a sense of communion that, once experienced, are engraved upon the heart. vatican.va/content/leo-xiv/e…

The distinction between man and machine is not one of ability, but of an intrinsic lack of and desire for the other, the good, and God. This is what great art is a testimony of.
In this era of artificial intelligence, it is becoming urgent to distinguish human art from what machines produce. There is an ontological difference, even before an aesthetic one, between art and what a machine can generate through statistical calculation based on millions of images created by others. Algorithms lack the spark of humanity. For this reason, the Church wishes to renew an alliance with artists and cultural institutions to safeguard our humanity.

Great work, Ludo! Crazy that the camera op also jumped with the stuntman! No cable-cam, crane or drone.
BOURNE movies are elite. They just don’t make it like ‘em anymore!

Difficult for humans. They are social animals and love belonging to a tribe. @addymakes

I've shot on film and digital. Some tips:
- Lighting: 4:1 or higher contrast ratio, use hard sources like fresnels for key light - please avoid LED, and don't fill in the shadows unless you plan to "crush" in post
- Filtration: use Tiffen diffusion glass filters to create texture, and to bloom highlights
- Exposure: for digital, expose to the right, like film, but protect highlights to recover detail in post
- Lenses: use anamorphic or "funky" lenses with sharp center and buttery bokeh
- Shutter Angle: 90-120 for sharp, staccato motion
Do as much in-camera as possible.
Make friends with production designers.
Watch a lot of Tony/Ridley Scott and 80s/90s Polish cinema.
