from interview with Jean Rouch:
*Rouche began life as an engineer blowing up bridges - was trained by bridge engineer in "resistance to successive stresses" - exercise in material strength and restraint, which he describes as "nothing less than poetry"...
"I apply this double method of sacrilege and of resistance to successive stresses"
[consider 'resistance' and 'stresses' in ref. to Dogma 'vow of chastity' and the construction of rule-sets for your films]
"...that I was, behind the lens of my camera, the first viewer of my film. So if I got bored during filming, the viewers to whom I might show the film would be equally bored. [...] with the camera to my eye, I am what Dziga Vertov called 'the mechanical eye'; my microphone ear is an electronic ear. With a cine-eye and a cine-ear, I am a cine-Rouch in a state of cine-trance in the process of cine-filming."
