Two of those early works were under the heading of <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">The Via Crucis of Jane<\/mark><\/strong>, they planned to do 3 of them, but ended up doing 2.

Later that year he spent time with them in Budapest, and again in Szeged, in 1986. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I&#8217;m digressing, Jac was listening to one of his favorite albums from that band while preparing to edit one of the many, many projects he produced.

A lot of films are in the works, some in post production others in production and some in development.  A new cycle is beginning with some interesting and unexpected changes and new challenges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year ends with the steady growing of a brand new way of showing our films, our <strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/stream.redfeline.com\" target=\"_blank\">Streaming Channel<\/a><\/strong>. Where both <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Via Crucis of Jane<\/mark><\/strong> films are now streaming and it looks like they are very popular with our subscribers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ViaCrucisOfJane02Streaming.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6840\" srcset=\"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ViaCrucisOfJane02Streaming.jpg 800w, https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ViaCrucisOfJane02Streaming-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/ViaCrucisOfJane02Streaming-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>A few days ago, more specifically on December 4, 2025, in the morning, Jac was listening to Led Zeppelin, <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">Babe I&#8217;m gonna leave you<\/mark><\/em>, and preparing to work on at least two of the many, many projects he produced recently while thinking about Camille, whose birthday was fast approaching&#8230; on the 6th of December. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jac has a tremendous fondness for Camille. Her big film <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Martyr<\/mark><\/strong> is streaming now, and soon all her other films will be part of the channel, including a beautiful homage to <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">The Diary of Camille<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the big changes in the new cycle is the exploration of the world of <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Artificial Intelligence<\/mark><\/strong> for our work. Jac is delving into all the ways it can be used in our present, future and even PAST work. Jac played a bit with <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">AI<\/mark><\/strong> to see if he could add some clever touches to scenes to past films like <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">Martyr<\/mark><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In one scene Camille the model and Tadeusz (Jac) the photographer are discussing her playing St Eulalia in a photo shoot. Camille asks <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">Do you want to put me on a cross? <\/mark><\/em>Tadeusz responds <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">I didn&#8217;t say that<\/mark><\/em>. Camille challenges him. <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">Why Not? Crucify me!<\/mark><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jac took that last frame of Camille saying <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-pale-pink-color\">Crucify me<\/mark><\/em> and set it up for an interesting shot of Camille suddenly floating up and ending up on a cross while turning into Saint Eulalia. Maybe as a way of showing Tadeusz imagining the scene or Camille &#8230; or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Camille Floats to a cross\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1144268868?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jac has a good number of versions of that one shot of Camille floating up to the cross. He might keep on trying until he gets exactly what he wants for the movie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He already has some scenes where he used <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">AI<\/mark><\/strong> to add some interesting flavor to some scenes in <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">69 Ann\u00e9e \u00c9rotique<\/mark><\/strong> and they are very interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">RedOrc<\/mark><\/strong> <em><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-green-cyan-color\">I am really impressed at the AI&#8217;s ability to produce photorealistic background scenes that would need hundreds of extras in real life and huge sets. I think the combination of real actors for the speaking parts and AI crowds is a good one. The glitches of AI such as the usual six fingers are not as noticeable in the background.<\/mark><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>The way Jac sees <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">AI<\/mark><\/strong> at this early point in time is a mixture of possibilities but the most clear to him is that <strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">AI<\/mark><\/strong> can be used, without abuse, to create some very impressive scenes that would be impossible to do without millions of Dollars, or Euros, or Bolivianos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-vivid-red-color\">AI<\/mark><\/strong> doesn&#8217;t always work well. As a matter of fact, it takes many tries to get the results one wants. But once some good results are achieved, one can combine those shots with live action, not only speaking parts, but complete actions, an entire scene where the actors do their part in front of the Green Screen and that is later set up in front of backgrounds. A good whipping, for instance, in an interesting looking dungeon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A good scene in a dungeon needs different views of the location, and then the action, in this case the whipping of the victim, has to be shot from different angles of the action itself. That is easily achieved by just having the actors turn around instead of moving the camera. One can have all the angles one needs with very little camera movement, if any at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the clip below we see Ligia suffering the whip in a dungeon. We see two different views of the action and the dungeon with Ligia under the whip. It is a test, some instructions from the director to the actress are heard and sometimes Dani intervenes with comments, while Ligia stays in character throughout the shooting suffering the whipping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"TaiaUnderTheWhipTest\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1143949613?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">I will have more info in the near future including the work Jac will be doing with Dani, Ligia and Simonne in the next few days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You can get our movies at <a href=\"https:\/\/movies.redfeline.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/movies.redfeline.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">You can stream them at <a href=\"https:\/\/stream.redfeline.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/stream.redfeline.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">And if you want a DVD sent to your home go to <a href=\"https:\/\/dvds.redfeline.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/dvds.redfeline.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the beginning of their amazing adventure in Cinema, the cycle that began in 2006,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6828,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[59],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6824"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6824"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6824\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6856,"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6824\/revisions\/6856"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6828"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6824"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6824"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/redfeline.com\/chronicles\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6824"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
