In any art movement, the art has to move into a new phase - a filmmaker has a desire to make a film that is not like a previous film.

I like black and white films. I don't exactly know why - probably because there is a stylization which is removed from actual life, unlike a color film.

The number of strokes to the inch controls the pitch of the note: the more, the higher the pitch; the fewer, the lower the pitch, the size of the stroke controls the loudness... the tone quality is the most difficult element to control, it is made by the shape of the strokes.
