Director’s Notes — Concept & Craft
As I like to say: “We did like Kubrick, only faster.”
Fantasies created by Michael Carlyle, produced by Manhattan Video Productions, and starring Victoria Guthrie. These cinematic shorts explore the tension between elegance and control, merging Kubrick’s exacting geometry with the high-stakes glamour of Bond. Each piece embraces centered compositions, deliberate dolly movements, and color palettes that amplify psychological contrast — gold as allure, blue as resolve. Victoria Guthrie’s performance anchors every frame with precision, poise, and intent.
Lighting alternates between precise Kelvin settings and sculpted geometry — each film captured in a single session using the Canon 5D Mark IV and Rokinon 85mm T1.5 Cine DS lens.
Cinematic vision. Strategic execution. Lasting impact.
From spark to screen, Manhattan Video Productions crafts compelling stories through film, design, and motion. We don’t just present your message—we make it unforgettable.
