DMN Newswire--2006-11-21--Action doesn't have to be fast to be fascinating, and the famed experimental opera and theater director Robert Wilson proved it with a rare foray into the world of HDTV. With a Canon HJ11x4.7B KLL-SC High Definition Electronic Cinematography (HD-EC) lens trained on unforgettable faces ranging from movie stars, artists, and writers to European royalty, Wilson has created Video Portraits, a groundbreaking new series for the VOOM HD Networks, a nationally distributed collection of 15 high-definition television channels. The project is produced by VOOM HD LAB, an outreach initiative that works with artists and filmmakers to explore the artistic and technological boundaries of high-definition video. It will air on VOOM's visual arts channel, GALLERY HD, in January.
Award-winning DP James Callanan oversaw the intriguing 1080i shoots of Willem Dafoe and Isabella Rossellini at a theater on New York's West 42nd Street, patiently recording every second of portraits where the talent was directed to move at an extraordinarily slow pace. "A casual observer would actually not notice any motion at all; only over an extended period would you see the image change," Callanan explained. "The choice of the Canon HJ11x4.7B HD-EC zoom lens was very important, because sharpness or image acuity was vital for projection – which is intended to be quite large – in a gallery."
