There's always so much more that can be conveyed on screen visually in the expressions of people's faces, in their bodies, in their body language. And also with sound design, with music.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Some things can be perfectly expressed by sound alone and images would only be disturbing. Other times, sound would be possible, but visuals are much stronger and closer to what I want to express and then again, they sometimes overlap perfectly.
The way we tell our stories on stage is that we use spoken word to convey action, and in movies, we use visual images to convey action.
Language is a more recent technology. Your body language, your eyes, your energy will come through to your audience before you even start speaking.
One forgets too easily the difference between a man and his image, and that there is none between the sound of his voice on the screen and in real life.
For me the visual is just as important as the music.
On stage you need to emphasize every emotion. But on screen you need to tone everything down and make it believable.
You have to make an audience experience with the ears as well as their eyes.
I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.
Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.
Usually in theater, the visual repeats the verbal. The visual dwindles into decoration. But I think with my eyes. For me, the visual is not an afterthought, not an illustration of the text. If it says the same thing as the words, why look? The visual must be so compelling that a deaf man would sit though the performance fascinated.
