Production Elements

Ocean Stuio created the concept of looking at individual aspects of film making as 'production elements' similar to the perioding table of the elements that describes the foundations of the universe around us. Film making is essentially similar to the natural process of combining elements into molecules which are what we call 'Production Templates'. When a media producer combines various elements that predictably creaate a specific look or repeatable result in imagery we can record those tools, techniques and terms as a template. These Production Templates boost educaiton and procuction process by archiving technique that has been developed and refined throughout the past 100 years of film making.
