Goddamn great work. Made me feel wonderful in sad sort of way. How did you like the lenses? More importantly, what motivated this? What emotion or story were you trying to tell?

Glad to see another user as well! :-) I love what the F-3 was able to produce. I'll be sure to check out your post. I've been doing music videos and corporate stuff, but recently have been focusing a lot on writing and trying to get a firm understanding of characters and motivation and narrative, with the idea of hopefully making work that really resonates with me and the people I'm making it for.

Linked my profile to my Facebook. The name changed, but I assure you, I am the same guy. Alright. I ask because that room had no practical lights before we arrived there, thus giving me the freedom to light to my liking. Ideally, being that I had complete control of the lighting in that situation and that it was an important emotional scene, it should have been memorable. I should have thought that scene out more. I completely agree with knowing when not to use something is incredibly important. It's something that took me a while with the lighting in the shorts I was shooting. I find myself attracted to directors who spend more time figuring out composition, but at my college, they are far and in between, usually letting the cinematographer figure out shots. Not to use that as an excuse, just a side note I guess. I'll definitely pay more attention to the framing from here on in. No more just setting the camera down! Glad to hear I didn't over use the steadicam. There has been a trend at my college to use the steadicam anytime the camera moves, I'm glad I haven't fallen into that style of thinking!!
