Visions of Light

In the beginning, God created light. Since then, humans strived to capture this light/power in many forms, and cinematographer is one of them, in the purest sense of manipulating light to recreate another world, flirting dangerously close of becoming the ultimate being.

Visions of Light: The Art of Cinematography is an excellent introductory film to cinematography that enables you to witness from its development to its current state. There are excellent tutorial as well as references that pick best shots and scenes of cinematography you can literally steal for your next movie. I know I was inspired several times watching old masters' works and talking about their craft and their inspirations.

I wish there will be a sequel to this movie considering the advances in computer graphics as well as digital cameras. This will be an excellent documentary subject for all documentary filmmakers out there, who love films and cinematography.
