Recent post at The Online Photographer mentioned two movies worth to see for every photographer, Bubble and Girl with a Pearl Earring. I don’t watch movies (almost at all), but I watch very often concerts released on DVD. Usually, the visual impact of the concert supposed to be watched at home is not very important. Or at least I have that feeling. There’re only few concert movies having an outstanding camera work. The first one is Sting’s Inside - The Songs of Sacred Love - half concert, half document about his latest album. This concert was performed in a theater with an unusual arrangement: the band was in the middle, and the audience all around. Magic atmosphere flows out of the screen… The other concert I like to watch and hear with a big pleasure is the latest Dream Theater performance at Budokan arena in central Tokyo. The most accomplished virtuosos on their instruments, incredible songs and stunning presentation.
Both of these movies show one important thing I often miss in many other productions: passion and devotion to Art. That’s not very often seen, nor easy to capture.
