Encyclopedia > Sculpting In Time

Sculpting In Time is a book by Russian filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky about art and cinema in general, and his own films in particular. It was orginally published in 1986 in German shortly before the author's death, and published in English in 1987, translated by Kitty Hunter-Blair. The title refers to Tarkovsky's own name for his style of filmmaking.

The book's main statement about the nature of cinema is summarized in the statement, "The dominant, all-powerful factor of the film image is rhythm, expressing the course of time within the frame." Tarkovsky describes his own distaste for the growing popularity of rapid-cut editing and other devices that he believes to be contrary to the true artistic nature of the cinema.


The book also contains a fair amount of Tarkovsky's personal writings on his life and work, with commentary on each of his 7 major feature films, and his complex relationship with the Soviet Union. The final chapter, a discussion of his film The Sacrifice, was dictated in the last weeks of his life. The film The Sacrifice (Offret) by Andrei Tarkovsky, (Sweden, 1986) was filmed when Tarkovsky knew that he was dying of cancer and it can be seen as his testament, as it recaptures motives used in several of his previous films. ...

The professional sculptors spend about a week on sculpting a single fantasy miniature and a bit more for science fiction models on their full-time employment, but that is far from what you need.
I can sculpt a model in three or four days, and to this I include the time it takes for the Green Stuff to get dry which is at least half a day which interprets I work no more than one hour in a row.
Sculpting razor-sharp blades, hyper-technical weapons and long bows is definitely possible, but it is waste of time.
