This is a new Lumiere Video from New York. This city is just full of surprises every where. You stop to take a breath and observe this funny scenes of people in motion.

I am here at Sage Theater co-leading a Theater of Business high performance training. We set up a video connection to Ibiza, Spain from where our head coach Martin Sage joins the seminar to do his coaching sessions. This technology is amazing: We see him live, he sees us live, we have a dialog, he is giving talks to the whole group. It is like he is really with us in the room, while he is sitting in his apartment on this island in Spain, next to the beach.

"Imagine what you are seeing is not happening at all"

- this is a quote from Martin's brand new book 'Zentrepreneurship'. This is a little book edited by Diana Blake, owner of Sage Theater. You find more information here.

This is my newest project: Lumiere Videos. Here are the rules: 60 seconds max., Fixed camera, No audio, No zoom, No edit, No effects.

To see my examples click on a picture above.

The brothers Lumiere were film pioneers, they did the first movie screening, what is considered the birth of cinema. In that time they had no sound, the film length was limited and editing and effects was not invented yet, neither camera movement. In Berlin they called the first movie screenings "Bewegte Riesen-Photographien" translated "Moving Gigantic Photographies".

I am originally a photographer and this style of filmmaking matches a ground rule of film shooting what I learned from my father: the action happens in front of the camera, you observe what happens, you don't need to move the camera.

"All the World is a Stage" -William Shakespeare

I don't need to direct or to stage the story, it is already there. Observing and the right timing lets you discover the story. Nothing else is needed.
