The Basic Production philosophy
of Casting International, Second Unit(in creative- & producible AV software support).
All words marked with * are explained in the
Search&Find-engine for all questions about Casting International.
The basic philosophy is a think-method for the creation of problem-solutions and for the realization of film productions.
The basic philosophy is:
There is nothing what does not exist;
anything can exist, and anything may exist ... (not? ...).
This solid, well-thought-out way of thinking is specially designed to work without boundaries, i.e. without restrictions / blockades / hurdles / taboos, and aims at a problem statement to investigate its solution.
In other words: the basic philosophy is to create 'out of the box' answers and visualizations.
This method is also applicable within the logistics for film visualizations, and the realization of the film productions.
The basic philosophy is the foundation of thinking within the film production company 'Casting International, Second Unit in creative- and productional Audio Visual-software support' (official name as registered since 1989 in the Chamber of Commerce of Amsterdam under number 33287241).
The core of that base is 'the creative- and productional AV software (film images forming)':
- Audio concerns sensory hearing / listening; and Visual the sensory look and see.
- Software is that which changes rapidly; hardware changes slowly;
real estate changes even slower, and diamond changes the very slowest;
film images are rapidly changing software; your thoughts (is also software) are the fastest.
The production of AV software for making movies is similar to 'search' (the basic philosophy let thus spacious and unlimited search for film images).
The purpose of searching is finding.
The first line of the philosophy assumes that everything already exists.
- Even if it would be has not previously figured out, it is already, without any limitation (everything can exist).
If you assumes that it already exists, you only need to search and find it.
Search in this field is named 'casting';
in other words: 'the film images are there already' (but you have to notice it)'.
A more production / logistics specified part is the concept of 'cast'.
A cast is in this industry a Human or animal that functions before the camera as most important in the storytelling:
They appear (fast) for hearing and eyes, and disappear cq. change (both: fast) as non-materials; they are (yet) intangible, are not (yet) to smell, only Audio-Visual (and/or virtual) perceptible.
Casting means the (quick) search for film-tv (AV) purposes of the cast.
In addition to Humans and animals, Casting International is searching and finding also for images such as locations, stories, props, stunts, all kinds of hardware like planes or ships or cars, etc..
These are image-ingredients.
Perhaps the Audio-Visual images are to compare the best with mirror images: everything in a mirror image, is possibly needed for film/tv purposes.
These images are as phenomena to be seen as limitless in shape.
The 2nd line of the philosophy assumes that all also can exist (in the film/TV/virtual reality), and that the only restriction to find is 'that it may not be found'.
This refers to the ethical limits that Casting International has imposed himself through the Golden Rules; '‘The not may?...'' is an important criterion in the directorscut.
These rules determine within CI(SU) that a phenomenon may or may-not exist to produce it and filming.
For example: showing how to make bombs in details, can inspire frustrated minds; so that may not.
The only criterion to choose for the right shape out of the unlimited amount of images that result from application of the basic philosophy is the usefulness.
This is a summary.
