But nor human cannot go against the low of Mother Nature, when they realizing that they have put endanger the entire planet and the life it contains it was rather late. Human were writing their own story as they wish until that moment… the moment that flipped their gift to curse.

CG Cinematography

CG Cinematography




3D, hand Drawn, or classic cinema, which is the median you concern, it is only a one aspect that matters whether your production would touch viewers’ hearts or just be a dump.
It is Cinematography (Storytelling/ Directing).

It is not how much quality or superior your cameras are or how talented your actors are or how professional your team is or how much cutting edge graphics you have added to your cinema… it all matters how much sharp and inventive and artistic the cinematographer’s and the director’s eye is. If you are able to show a burning desert as a vast vista through the camera, Ah! You got the gift!

Director sets the floor, which actors and other events should be taken place, and the mental image that he sees in his mind would be the final print that will be presented as the movie. So the beauty of the cinema mostly depends on how much the cinematographer/ Director is imaginative and able to present his ideas through a movie. Obviously he must see the whole story in his mind before everyone; he should find the exact flow which really matches the story. The physical aspects I mentioned earlier matters, of course, but a quality cinematographer/ Director could create those things through his own mind. Maybe the story uses to develop the cinema would be insignificant, but it’s all up to the cinematographer’s/ Director’s artistic/ creative ability to pop out the story as something important.
Cinematography/ Directing is an art! As long as it is being an art, mostly it develops as a talent. Indeed you could be skilful with methods of cinematography and directing. But methods have its’ own limitations. And if you wish to see beyond those borders you should be have a little bit of creativity, that you can use what exist with you and create something entirely different/ new out of those.

Anyone can learn methods but only few could create their own which can always express their imagination widely and give something new to the audience. So if you have the ability of opening your mind so wide and think about things (anything, including day to day ordinary matters) to express in different ways and want to create your own worlds or another dimensions rather than naturally exist and got the power of present things by adding realism, well count on yourself, you could find your own ways to present things through movies. So, I believe we don’t need to get qualified from any university as cinematographers or directors to be a one. If we have the potential we could do it ourselves. On the other hand; every art is a science so if you filled with a little bit of science, wow! Obviously you can do amazements. So breathing the life into a movie is not an easy task, but if you have the power it would be as easy as watching a movie.

CG (computer Generated) cinematography, I presume this term originally expressed by me, because I never heard it from anywhere else. By CG cinematography I consider all the part in production of a movie runs in a computer environment; including sound developing and composing. Actually all of my creations could be consider as entirely CG productions. Many people say sometimes; ‘it is a bad move totally depends on computers’. But I would like to ask that, who would choose a “push bicycle” rather than a motor car to travel 100km? It all depends on the way you use the machinery and your creativity. I should say that pushing a button doesn’t create all of these big productions. One must take a hard effort, dedication and brainstorming on those. And if you are really a creative person and have the potential of sacrificing, all those hard working days would be a pleasure to you, because you know that eventually all the pleasures will be yours.

"Electra" යනු වෙනත් විශ්ව මානයක පවතින ග්‍රහලොවකි. එනම් එකී ග්‍රහලොවේ පවතින සියලුම දැ නිර්මානය වී අත්තෙ ලෝහමය දැ සහ ඉලොක්ට්‍රොනික උපාංග වලිනි. එම ග්‍රහලොව තුල දියනු, එසෙම ස්ංකීර්ණ ජීවන වීලාශයක් ගත කරන රොබෝ පරපුරක්ද වාසය කරති.

"EtA" යනු "Electra" හි වාසය කරන රොබොවරියකි. මීට වසර දෙකකට පෙර ඇයද "Electra" හි අනෙක් රොබෝවරු මෙන් කිසිදු වෙනසක් නොමැති රොබෝවරියකි. නමුත් මෙයට වසර දෙකකට පමණ පෙර "Electra" ග්‍රහලොවේ භාහිරට යම්කිසි හදුනා නොගත් ආකාශ වස්තුවක් පතිත වී සිදු වු විශාල පිපිරිමක් නිසා නිකුත් වු යම් දෙයක් ඇයගේ ශරිරයට අතුලු විම නිසා අයගේ ශරිරයේ ස්වභාවය මෙන්ම ක්‍රියකාරිත්වය ද හාත්පසින්ම වෙනස් වි ඇත. එම වෙනස් විම සිදු වු දින සිට ඇයගේ එකම අරමුණ වි ඇත්තේ ඇයට එම වෙනස්කම සිදුවිමට හේතුව සෙවිම වේ.

එක් දිනක් ඇයට යම්කිසි ඉගියක් ලබාගත හැකි උපකරණයක් ගන දැන ගැනිමට ලැබේය. නමුදු එම උපකරණය "Electra" හි ප්‍රභල පාලකයෙකයෙකුට අයිති වස්තුවකි. එබැවින් ඇයට එම වස්තුව ඔහුගෙන් සොරාගැනීමට සිදුවේ. "RaZer" නම් වු ඇයගේ මිතුරාගේද සහාය ඇතිව ඇය එම උපකරණය සොරා ගනි. නමුදු එම උපකරණය ඇය විසින් සොරාගැනිමට සැලැස්සවිම "Demoole" නම් වු ප්‍රභල පාලකයාගේ උගුලක් බව ඇයට තේරුම් යන විට ප්‍රමාද වැඩිය. "Demoole" ද "EtA" මෙන් වසර දෙකකට පෙර සිදුවු පිපිරිමෙන් වෙනස් වු රොබොවරයෙකි.

"Demoole" "EtA" ගේ කුඩා රොබෝ සොහොයුරිය සිරගත කර ගනි, ඉන් පසු "EtA" සොරාගත් උපකරණය යම්කිසි තැනකට මාර්ගය පෙන්වන බවත් එම ගමනාන්තයේ අති එක්තරා උපකරණයක් තමන් හට ගෙනත් දෙන මෙන් "EtA" හට බලකර කියාපායි. එසේම "EtA"ට වසර දෙකක සිට සිදුව අති වෙනස්විමට හේතුවද මෙම ගමනාන්තයේදි ඇයට සොයගැනිමට හැකිවේ යයි ද "Demoole" පවසා ඇයගේ සිතද කුතුහලයෙන් අවුලුවයි.

'Demoole" කියන දෙයට එකග වනව හැරෙන්නට වෙන ගතහැකි ක්‍රියා මාර්ගයක් ඇය හට නැත.


එම ගමන ආරම්භ කිරිමට "Deema" නම් තවත් රොබෝවරයේක් සමග එක්ව ඇය කටයුතු කල යුතු බව "Demoole" ඇයට පවසයි.

"Electra"හි වර්ෂාණුකුලව පැවත්වෙන "Majenta" කුසලන ගුවන් රථ තරගයේ දි ඇයට "Deema" මුන ගැසේ.

සෙල්ලක්කාර ගති පැවතුම් ඇති "Deema"ව ගමනට අවනත කරගැනිමට "EtA"ට වෙහෙස දැරිමට සිදුවේ.


අවසන "Deema", "EtA" සහ "RaZer" ඔවුන්ගේ ගමන ආර්ම්භ කරයි. ගමන අතරමගදි "EtA" හට දැන ගනිමට ලැබෙන්නේ "Deema" ද තමන් මෙන් වසර දෙකකට පෙර සිදු වු පිපිරිමෙන් වෙනස් වු රොබෝවරයෙකු බවයි.

ඔවුන්ගේ ගමනාන්තයට ලගාවිම සදහා ඔවුනට "Electra" හි අතිවිශාල බාදක හරහා යැමට සිදුවේ. "Electra" තරනය කිරිම පමනක් නොව ඔවුනගේ ගමනාන්තය වැටි ඇත්තෙ විශ්වය හරහා වෙනත් මානයකට බවත් ඔවුන්ට වටහේ.

ගමන අවසානයේ ඔවුනට විශ්වයේ ඇත කෙලවරක පවතින පෘතුවිය නම් අරුම පුදුම ග්‍රහලොවක් හමුවේ. නමුත් එම ග්‍රලොව ඉතාමත් ගුප්ත ආකාරයක් ගනි. එනම් කලය නවති සියළු දෙම ක්‍රියා විරහිත වි අති අකරයක් ගනි.

අවසනයේ ඔවුන්ට අවබෝධ වන්නේ "Deema", "EtA" සහ "Demoole" ගේ වෙනස් විමට හේතුවත් පෘතුවිය අවට කාලය නැවතිමට හේතුවත් වන්නේ පෘතුවියේ මෙයට වසර දෙකකට පෙර දක්ෂ බුද්ධිමත් විද්‍යඥයන් තිදෙනෙකු විසින් කරන ලද පර්යේෂණයක ප්‍රතිඵලයක් වශයෙන් සොයගත් ප්‍රබල උපකරණකින් බවත්, "Demoole" නම් පාලකය එම උපකරණය තමන් වෙත ගෙන්වා ගැනිමට උත්සහ දරන බවත්ය.

"Deema" සහ "EtA" හට වැටහෙන්නේ "Demoole" "Electra" වලට කිරිමට යන විනාශය වැලක්විමත්, පෘතුවිය සහ මිනිස් වර්ගයාගේ පැවත්මත් රැදි පවතින්නේ තම දැත් වල බවය.
