Christopher Doyle:& his passion for visualization

“I didn't start making

films until I was

34.But that wasted

youth was probably

the most valuable

asset for what I'm

doing now. You see

the world, you end up

in jail three or four

times, you accumulate

experience. And it

gives you something

to say. If you don't

have anything to say

then you shouldn't be

making films. It's

nothing to do with

what lens you're

using .” Christopher Doyle





I really think

music and movement

- dance, you know -

and literature

inform my visuals.

I think film is

also based in

dance. The

relationship

between me, the

camera and the

actor is always a

dance.

”Christopher Doyle

… [technology and collaboration produce

specific performative relationships and

position creativity throughout production as a

dynamic process, dialogical, cross-cultural

and interdisciplinary (Vera John-Steiner,

after Vygotsky and Bakhtin;

Csikszentmihalyi, 1996)]

Wong Kar-Wai,

Chungking Express/

Chung Hing Sam Lam,

Hong Kong, 1994

in his collaboration with Wong,

Doyle is working with

collage and collecting

(music) video’s.

Also the use of colour to

suggest emotion is a key

element in his visuals,

they tend to intensify the

storyline.
