Janusz has developed his Method of Dancing with Light after many years of teaching filmmaking and working as cinematographer...
"After years of studying filmmaking, many students realize they do not know how and what to do once they find themselves on a production set. In my opinion, this is the result of a wrong approach to teaching. Based on my experience, many teachers do not explore the importance of the cinematographer's mindset by not making the student aware of the logistics inherent in the creative process. For teaching and learning purposes, the creative process can be represented as an organic system governed by logistics, the teaching of which starts with first exercise in mood creation"...(Janusz)
