Yang Fudong is a film maker that I admire intensely who I have similar ideas to when it comes to film and colour.
Fudong never believed that cameras where capable of capturing the true beauty and intensity of colour until his exhibition ‘Filmscapes’. Until this exhibition all of his works where in black and white. To this day his work in Filmscapes is the best footage I have ever seen in colour in terms of vibrancy and demeanour.

My personal experience with colour is that it never fully encapsulates the essence of the mood of a scene I try to create. The mood of the colour never really accurately represents the story I am trying to portray, and until I can master colour, I would prefer to film in black and white.
