Not really looking to judge cameras, but to see shot comparisons e.g. a single shot done several different ways with different lenses, lighting, etc... thanks for the lead

It's an anagram of my name. I use it for facebook. I logged in with facebook so it defaulted to that name. Honest mistake. Didn't mean to cause you extreme offense. It is now changed.

Hi there, I am a writer/director that just directed his first feature. I am taking lessons from this experience-- one of them is to at least get a grasp on the physics of cinematography. I am starting by subscribing to this forum, the ASC magazine, reading Bergery, Brown and the like... I was wondering. Does a website or youtube channel exist that consists of shot comparisons, camera tests and the like? DPs narrating scenes they lit? The kind of thing you'd expect from ASC. To me, cinematography consists of many interwoven concepts that only spring to life in concert and in context. Reading about the relationship between say, lens selection, f-stops and depth of field on the page just isn't cutting it for me. Many thanks, and I apologize if this is mis-posted, I felt this would be the place for this query, not the director sub-forum. Best, Patrick
