CINEMATICS
I remember when I was young after my studies in Architecture; I felt a very strong affection for the Television and Movie Industry. At the time the Hungarian Film Industry produced world-class productions, television lms, theater television broadcasts, entertainment programs and international co-productions. The Hungarian Television used the era’s highest-quality Japanese (Sony) television studio and broadcasted technology at the time. I was lucky to experience how to work with the latest modern digital technology, it was a great experience for me. I gained wonderful work experiences and great world-class professionalism; I was truly fascinated by the professional Film. Unfortunately life intervened, in Hungary the nancing of Film changed and the high-quality productions disappeared, causing many good professionals to leave Television and Movie industry. The Television Industry professional perspectives ceased.
However at that time a number of American and English lm productions started in Hungary. I was lucky to be involved in many great productions as a creator. It was a wonderful experience for me to work with world-class American and English lm companies. Shortly after it started, the positive possibilities for international lm production had ceased in Hungary. I had a passion for lm productions, but I was forced to choose another area. I then turned back to Architecture. For many years I have been involved in architectural and other business activities.
I spent three years in the Mediterranean area (in Italy and on the island of Ibiza, Spain) at the millennium time and entering the new millennium changed my life. The years spent here in uenced my life and my creative work. I extended my creativity to ne arts, including painting. I studied painting techniques from the great Hungarian teachers and painters and I developed it to be unique. During my European voyages I met with the European giants of Abstract Expressionism, Karel Appel and Emil Shumacher. These great experiences, encounters and the movements created during the paintings gave me a number of inspirations, which some
may say came from God. I feel as though it can be displayed also in motion picture format
I was impressed by Willem de Kooning’s work who might have also felt this inspiration. After his paintings he began to formulate his artistic inspirations with clay based on another creative attitude, he created many sculptures. As a result of the effects of Kooning, I created a sculpture portfolio by similar techniques. However, I felt more inspired to nd a new, unique way of the “art of movements” I was constantly searching the realization options.
My fate directed me to the United States, Florida now being my home since 2013. The power of nature, the Floridian vegetation and the wonderful sunshine vitalized me and gave me tremendous energies. Thanks to my luck, I met with many well- known Hollywood and New York lm and television specialists. Their conversations awakened me, my original attraction and love for lmmaking have resurfaced. My American friends have helped me understand that the creative process of making art can be achieved through lmmaking to a greater extent. These ideas intrigued me and I wrote a number of scenarios.
My visual imaginations require special technology and I worked with this technology with my Hollywood production company partner, this company has a long-time partnership with some of the biggest named companies, like BMW, Ferrari, Huawei, Intel, Mercedes-Benz, Microsoft, Samsung, Toyota, Vodafone and many more. Unlike traditional lm technology, in my productions all venues and scenes are ction, which are my own creations. The animations are projected simultaneously through a special video mapping technology on several holographic curtains. The locations of the acts are magical. Due to special techniques; the viewer’s feelings are special. The theatrical viewer can feel a distant, almost extraterrestrial, an incomprehensible deep presence in an existing world.
