QUESTION CINEMA: Painting in Time - Shots of Awe
I have a love for movies, concerts and immersive technologies because they provide me with opportunities to experience moments of "ecstatic revelation" and a meditative infusion of feelings and thoughts.
This short video puts my fascination with these experiences into perspective. What are your thoughts?

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I liked it, but have some qualms. First, cinematography isn't painting any more than photography is. It's recording an image (lights and darks). Second, time is a very important element of a film. It can't be completed without taking this dimension into your subconscious. Film is only 2D so adding a dimension is good, but it doesn't add up to 4.
I like film a lot, but it's only one form of art.

It's allegorical. Moments of "ecstatic revelation" that film can create is my shared interest. Cathartic and transcendent experiences and trans-formative realizations.. Getting absorbed in an immersive media like film has similarities to different states of consciousness achieved through meditation.
sounds cool!

Next time you realize you've been transported through a 2 hour journey leaving you with a sense of having touched some absolute truth, soak it in.
